  • Patent number: 11206659
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for multiple downlink control information (DCI) message handling for multiple control resource set (CORESET) groups. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) may provide separate or joint feedback for data messages received from different CORESET groups. In some examples, the UE may be configured with code block group (CBG)-based transmissions for a component carrier (CC) or a CORESET group in a CC. If implementing a dynamic codebook, the UE may track separate transport block (TB)-based and CBG-based downlink assignment indexes (DAIs) for each CORESET group or may track joint TB-based and CBG-based DAIs across the set of CORESET groups to handle the CBG configuration. Additionally, or alternatively, if implementing a semi-static codebook, the UE may apply skipping rules across the set of CORESET groups or separately for each CORESET group to reduce signaling overhead.

  • Patent number: 11160129
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided to detect radio link failure in a NR access system. In one novel aspect, the radio link failure is detected upon detection of one or more radio link failure conditions on the serving beam. In one embodiment, the physical layer problem is considered as detected when one or more predefined events occur for a number of consecutive times on the serving beam. In another embodiment, the UE further considers potential recoveries to avoid frequent triggering of the radio link failure condition. In one embodiment, the UE performs the initial alignment procedure to recover the connection. In one embodiment, UE performs the initial alignment procedure without performing radio link recovery on the serving beam. In other embodiments, the UE performs the initial alignment procedure after performing radio link recovery on the serving beam and/or selects one or more beams for initial beam alignment.

  • Patent number: 11122473
    Abstract: In order to perform a RACH-less handover from a source base station to a target base station, a UE device generates a request that the target base station is to send a Media Access Control (MAC) message to the UE device. The request can be sent with a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Connection Reconfiguration Complete message. Alternatively, an RRC message sent from a UE device functions as an implicit request that the target base station is to send a MAC message to the UE device. The request can also be configured to specify a particular MAC Control Element that the target base station should send. The target base station transmits the requested MAC message, along with TA information, if required. The UE device determines when the handover has been completed, based at least partially on when the requested MAC message is received from the target base station.
