  • Patent number: 12376006
    Abstract: A base station transmits, to a wireless device, configuration parameters of cells grouped into physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups comprising a primary PUCCH group comprising a primary cell, and a secondary PUCCH group comprising a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH. The base station transmits, during a first time interval, a first indication to activate a secondary cell of the primary PUCCH group and the PUCCH secondary cell. The base station starts reception of channel state information of the secondary cell from a second time interval that is a pre-determined number of time intervals after the first time interval. The base station starts reception of channel state information for the PUCCH secondary cell from a third time interval that is a number of time intervals after the first time interval.

  • Patent number: 12317303
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides a system and method for determining an uplink (UL) waveform for a mobile device to use for UL transmission in carrier aggregation or dual connectivity modes, where the UL waveform is selected to eliminate or minimize the deleterious effects of intermodulation distortion (IMD). The system identifies frequency bands scheduled for use by the mobile device for concurrent UL transmissions and for DL transmissions and determines if the combination of frequency bands can lead to high IMD. If the combination can lead to high IMD, the system can instruct the mobile device to switch to a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)-spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform for UL transmissions; if the combination would not likely lead to high IMD, the system can instruct the mobile device to switch to a Cyclic Prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM) waveform for the UL transmissions.
