  • Patent number: 12349122
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which network nodes may configure linked search space (SS) sets that provide multiple instances of control channel communications. A beam configuration, or transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, for a downlink transmission scheduled by instances of the control channel communications may be determined based on a control resource set (CORESET) of one or more of the different SS sets. A first network node may decode a first control channel communication from one or more instances of the control channel communications, the first control channel communication indicating a resource allocation for a first downlink communication. The first network node may determine whether one or more TCI states are applied to the first downlink communication based on one or more CORESETs associated with the first control channel communication, and receive the first downlink communication based on the determined one or more TCI states.

  • Patent number: 12341605
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive broadcast information from a base station indicating a numerology or a reference signal (RS) pattern to be used in broadcast or multicast transmissions (e.g., a physical multicast channel (PMCH)). The UE may identify a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) associated with the broadcast or multicast transmission and may determine a transport block size (TBS) based on the MCS and at least one of the numerology or the RS pattern. For instance, a UE may determine TBS for numerologies associated with a single symbol that spans multiple subframes differently from that of other numerologies. Additionally or alternatively, a UE may determine TBS for sparse RS patterns differently from that of other RS patterns. The UE may then perform communication with the base station via the broadcast or multicast transmissions in accordance with the TBS.
