  • Patent number: 12167267
    Abstract: Some embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product for radio resource management (RRM) scaling factor enhancement without measurement gaps (MGs) in an E-UTRA-New Radio (NR) Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) network. Some embodiments include a user equipment (UE) that receives from a Primary Node (PN), a first NR measurement object (MO) without MG associated with a frequency. The UE receives from a Secondary Node (SN), a second NR MO without MG associated with the same frequency. The UE allocates resources based on a Primary Secondary Component Carrier (PSCC) and determines a scaling factor for determining a total procedure period for obtaining measurements to satisfy the first and the second NR MO without MG. Some embodiments include combining counts of NR MO without MG at a same frequency. Some embodiments include coordination between the PN and the SN so that MOs without MG at a common frequency satisfy the merging rule.

  • Patent number: 12155593
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for demodulation reference signal (DMRS) precoding in high-Doppler scenarios. In some aspects, communicating devices may support different precodings for different portions of a signal, such as for a DMRS portion and an information portion. For example, a device may receive a signal including an orthogonal time-frequency space (OTFS) precoded first waveform portion carrying DMRS symbols and an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) precoded second waveform portion carrying information symbols. The device may transform the OTFS precoded DMRS symbols from a time-frequency domain to a delay-Doppler domain, may use the DMRS symbols to estimate a delay-Doppler channel, and may use the delay-Doppler channel estimate to measure an inter-carrier interference (ICI).

  • Patent number: 12133252
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a resource conflict handling method and apparatus, a terminal, and a storage medium. The method includes: transmitting, when a first PUSCH and a second PUSCH overlap or conflict with respect to time domain resources, if there is a fourth PUSCH in a third PUSCH included in the first PUSCH that does not overlap or conflict with the second PUSCH with respect to time domain resources, a data block over the fourth PUSCH. The first PUSCH is configured for repeated transmissions of the data block. In this way, the problem of conflict handling in the conflict scenario where the third PUSCH is present can be clarified. Here, available resources can be used as much as possible, and the resource utilization can be guaranteed, such that traffic can be transmitted to a network device as quickly as possible to avoid the delay caused by the resource conflict.

  • Patent number: 12095552
    Abstract: A message transmission method and device relating to the field of communications technologies are described that improve an anti-interference capability in message transmission. The method includes generating a scrambling code according to a scrambling code initialization seed, wherein the scrambling code initialization seed meets the following expression: cinit=R·2?7+P·(nfmodk+1)·2b7 and then scrambling a message according to the scrambling code. The method further includes sending the scrambled message to a terminal on a physical downlink shared channel. Because the first time parameter has different values at at least two different moments, scrambling codes determined at the at least two corresponding different moments are different. Therefore, a possibility at which the base station uses a same scrambling code to scramble a same system message repeatedly in a time period is reduced, so that an anti-interference capability in system message transmission is improved.

  • Patent number: 12081473
    Abstract: Methods and devices for sounding reference signal (SRS) carrier aggregation are provided. A target device is configured with N (N?2) SRSs that include a reference SRS and N?1 target SRS. Lower layer signaling, such as a MAC-CE or a DCI message, is used to activate the N?1 target SRS, such that each of the N SRSs is transmitted on a respective carrier component from a common antenna port. The lower level signaling used to activate the target SRS may identify configuration parameters of the target SRS that are to be overridden by the corresponding configuration parameters of the reference SRS. Embodiments of the present disclosure increase the effective SRS bandwidth, which may improve positioning measurement accuracy, while also reducing the higher-layer configuration signaling by activating target SRS in lower layer signaling and overriding some configuration parameters of the target SRS by the corresponding configuration parameters of the reference SRS.
