  • Patent number: 11743915
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for providing two channel state information (CSI) reports based on sidelink CSI reference signal (RS) respectively to a sidelink user equipment (UE) and a network entity (e.g., a base station). Existing sidelink CSI reporting between UEs is not shared with the network. The lack of information on the network side prevents scheduling improvements. Therefore, by generating a second CSI report to the network, the network can have information to better schedule sidelink UE transmissions and to introduce precoding matrix indicator (PMI) signaling.

  • Patent number: 11683825
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for scheduled communications in which multiple different communication instances are scheduled between a user equipment (UE) and a base station. Different communication parameters for different communication instances may be selected based on reported channel conditions between the UE and the base station. Subsequent to a report of channel conditions results in chanced communication parameters, the UE may blind decode a one or more scheduled communications using multiple candidate sets of decoding hypotheses to identify a first candidate set of decoding parameters that is used for the first scheduled communication. Such techniques provide that communication parameters may be adjusted based on channel conditions, and a UE may decode a communication in the event that the base station does not successfully receive a measurement report and continues transmissions using a prior set of parameters.
