Patent number: 11871431Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently signaling configurations of physical resources and transmission parameters to a user equipment (UE) for small data transmissions (for example, data transmissions in an inactive or idle state). A base station may broadcast or multicast downlink control information (DCI) in one or more control channels that schedules data transmissions in a set of data channels. The base station may then multicast one or more configurations in each of the data channels, and a UE may decode one of the data channels to determine a configuration for a small data transmission. Because the configurations may be transmitted in the data channels in addition to system information or paging information, a base station may have access to sufficient resources to provide suitable configurations to a UE for communications in an inactive or idle state.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jing Lei, Linhai He, Wanshi Chen

Patent number: 11818069Abstract: A UE configured to report resources, such as beams, to a base station may be unaware of the context or purpose for which the UE is reporting such resources. As different resources may provide different performance and/or quality when used in different contexts, the resources reported by the UE may provide lower quality and/or performance in one context relative to some other unreported resources. In order to improve resource reporting by the UE, the UE may be informed of an operational mode and/or a criteria based upon which the UE may select resources to report. The UE may report such selected resources to the base station in a group-based beam report. The base station may then configure communication with the UE based on the reported resources.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Kiran Venugopal, Yan Zhou, Wooseok Nam, Sungwoo Park, Tianyang Bai, Mostafa Khoshnevisan, Junyi Li, Tao Luo, Arumugam Chendamarai Kannan
