  • Patent number: 11968156
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for receiving system information in a wireless communication system supporting a TDD narrowband. More specifically, a method performed by a terminal includes receiving first system information from a base station through an anchor carrier, the first system information including operation mode information on an operation mode of the system; determining a location of a non-anchor carrier for receiving second system information based on the operation mode information; and receiving the second system information from the base station through the non-anchor carrier, in which the operation mode information is configured in a guard band or an in-band. In this way, SIB1-NB is also transmitted and received on the non-anchor carrier.

  • Patent number: 11963167
    Abstract: A method in a User Equipment (UE) configured with Discontinuous Reception (DRX) and a method in a network node for Downlink (DL) scheduling of the UE. The UE is further configured with Semi Persistent Scheduling (SPS) which reduces the latency in Uplink (UL) transmission. The network node monitors a receipt of UL data in any of the SPS resources granted to the UE, a Wake-up grant or assignment is sent on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and a HARQ-information is sent in response to the received UL data. The Wake-up grant/assignment triggers a drx-Inactivity timer to run in the UE. While the UE is DRX active, the network node may schedule a DL data transmission and send a DL assignment and the DL data to the UE.

  • Patent number: 11910255
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) measure and report cell measurements for neighboring cells to assist the wireless network with handover decisions. In some cases, the UE may be configured to report beam-level measurements for just a subset of neighboring cells instead of each neighboring cell. For example, the UE may measure, or report beam measurements for a subset of the neighboring cells which meet configured criteria or are included in a subset of cells configured by the serving cell. Techniques for configuring and maintaining the subset of cells are described herein. For example, the cells in the subset may be configured by the UE or the serving cell of UE. A cell may also be removed from the subset if the cell does not continue to meet criteria for being included in the subset.
