  • Patent number: 11956183
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for indication of asymmetric default operating frequencies (DOFs) for bidirectional communications. In one aspect, a first device may report to the second device that the first device is using either a same DOF for communications in different transmission directions or different DOFs for the different transmission directions. Based on the reported DOF(s), the second device may use beam correspondence-based beam relationships on the different transmission directions if the DOFs are the same and resource block allocations for the communications in both transmission directions are closely matched in frequencies. Alternatively, if the DOFs are different for the different transmission directions, the second device may adjust either a codebook parameter or may use an appropriate antenna panel.

  • Patent number: 11916683
    Abstract: A node includes a processor coupled to a wireless transceiver and a memory. The memory includes instructions that can cause the processor to store a broadcast channel hopping timing interval and a broadcast channel hopping sequence, as well as, channel hopping timings and channel hopping sequences for tracked neighbor nodes. The instructions can also cause the processor to determine whether a destination node for a unicast message corresponds to tracked neighbor nodes. Based on a determination that the destination node does not correspond to any tracked neighbor nodes, the processor can determine (i) a broadcast dwell interval based on the broadcast channel hopping timing interval and (ii) a next broadcast channel based on the broadcast channel hopping sequence. Additionally, instructions can cause the processor to transmit the unicast message to the destination node during the broadcast dwell interval.

  • Patent number: 11705955
    Abstract: Aspects relate to mechanisms for wireless communication devices to report a beam failure. A UE detects a beam failure with a cell. The UE transmits a beam failure recovery request including an indication of a candidate beam to a base station in response to detecting the beam failure. The base station transmits a beam failure recovery response to the UE indicating whether the beam failure recovery request is received. The UE applies the candidate beam indicated in the beam failure recovery request for a downlink channel following a predetermined number of symbols after an end of the beam failure recovery response. The UE transmits an acknowledgment (ACK) message to the base station when the beam failure recovery response is decoded. The UE applies the candidate beam indicated in the beam failure recovery request for a downlink channel following a predetermined number of symbols after an end of the ACK message.
