  • Patent number: 12382482
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state to use for communications with a network entity after switching between TCI modes (e.g., a joint TCI state mode and a separate TCI states mode for uplink transmission and downlink reception). A UE may autonomously switch between the TCI modes based on a trigger event, and may send an indication to a network entity of the trigger event prior to communicating. A UE may identify a TCI configuration with unconfigured power control parameters. The UE may determine a common power control configuration for communicating with a network entity based on applying a rule to the TCI configuration to determine the power control parameters.

  • Patent number: 12317289
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). Next generation of wireless cellular operation is expected to be deployed in higher frequency above 6 GHz (e.g., 10 GHz˜100 GHz, also called mmWave and/or cmWave) due to availability of large amount of spectrum bandwidths. The physical layer of wireless cellular system in both DL and UL operating in mmWave/cmWave would be based on new air-interface different from that of LTE-A air-interface because the radio characteristics is different for mmWave/cmWave bands. The wireless system deployed in mmWave/cmWave system is expected to employ DL beam sweeping on broadcast control information to provide cell coverage to the UE which would result in excessive signaling overhead.
