  • Patent number: 11711806
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for using downlink control information (DCI) to avoid hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier (ID) conflicts in scenarios where multiple semi persistently scheduled (SPS) configurations share the same pool of HARQ process IDs are provided. One example technique involves a user equipment (UE) receiving an indication of a plurality of SPS configurations, each SPS configuration allocating the UE with a set of SPS occasions for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions. Information for resolving a conflict between a first HARQ process ID associated with a first SPS occasion of a first of the plurality of SPS configurations and a second HARQ process ID associated with a second SPS occasion of a second of the plurality of SPS configurations is received. The first SPS occasion occurs prior to the second SPS occasion. The conflict is resolved based on the information.

  • Patent number: 11696186
    Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a wireless device to use periodic reserved resources to serve aperiodic traffic over sidelink. In one aspect, a wireless device reserves a set of periodic resources for sidelink transmission, where the reserved set of periodic resources include reserved resources for SCI and reserved resources for data. The wireless device transmits SCI without a data transmission in a periodic resource for the period. In another aspect, a first wireless device receives a reservation from a second wireless device for a set of periodic resources for sidelink transmission. The first wireless device receives, from the second wireless device, SCI in a period of the periodic resources, the SCI including an indication that the SCI is not associated with a data transmission.

  • Patent number: 11671202
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may adaptively switch between hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) monitoring modes to support power savings. In a first HARQ skipping mode, the UE may transmit an uplink message corresponding to a HARQ identifier and may receive a positive acknowledgment (ACK) message in a HARQ monitoring occasion associated with the HARQ identifier. Upon receiving the ACK message, the UE refrains from monitoring a subsequent HARQ monitoring occasion associated with the HARQ identifier while in the first HARQ skipping mode (e.g., an aggressive HARQ skipping mode). The UE may periodically enter a periodic evaluation mode from the first HARQ skipping mode, in which the UE monitors a subsequent HARQ monitoring occasion after receiving an ACK message to check for false ACK messages. If a false ACK message is detected, the UE enters a first HARQ skipping prohibited mode.

  • Patent number: 11671965
    Abstract: A wireless device receives one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages. The RRC messages comprise: one or more first feedback parameters for selecting first feedback radio resources of a sidelink; and one or more second feedback parameters for selecting second feedback radio resources of the sidelink. A sidelink transmission comprising sidelink control information (SCI) indicating a priority level of the sidelink transmission is received. Based on the priority level, one or more radio resources are selected from one of: the first feedback radio resources based on the one or more first feedback parameters; and the second feedback radio resources based on the one or more second feedback parameters. A hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for the sidelink transmission is transmitted via the selected one or more radio resources.

  • Patent number: 11664936
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) codebook construction with enabling or disabling of HARQ Acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) feedback per HARQ process. In one embodiment, a method performed by a wireless communication device comprises receiving, from a network node, information that configures the wireless communication device with a first set of HARQ processes for which HARQ-ACK feedback is disabled and a second set of HARQ processes for which HARQ-ACK feedback is enabled. The method further comprises receiving first downlink control information that schedules a first downlink shared channel transmission and determining that the transmission corresponds to one of the first set of HARQ processes for which HARQ-ACK feedback is disabled. The method further comprises, upon making this determination, performing a first set of actions for HARQ-ACK feedback generation for HARQ processes with HARQ-ACK feedback disabled.

  • Patent number: 11632298
    Abstract: Configuration data associated with a router is converted. A selector tool identifies a first port of a first router having first data lines, and identifies a second port of a second router to receive the first data lines to be migrated from the first port. The first router and the second router use different, incompatible configuration data formats. A data transceiver captures first port configuration data associated with the first port of the first router, and a configuration data converter is to identify a type of interface associated with the captured first port configuration data and convert the captured first port configuration data from a first format compatible with the first router to a second format compatible with the second router based on the identified type of interface. A conversion file generator generates a configuration file containing the converted first port configuration data in the second format.
