  • Patent number: 11979804
    Abstract: The methods and systems discussed herein describe how a first wireless communication device forwards a reservation signal, which identifies one or more time-slots that have been reserved by a second wireless communication device, to avoid “merging collisions.” In some examples, the first wireless communication device determines that it should forward the reservation signal based on a determination that the first wireless communication device is located at the edge of a coverage area associated with the second wireless communication device. This determination can be based on location information associated with the second wireless communication device or whether a received power value of the reservation signal is within a pre-defined threshold range value. In other examples, the first wireless communication device transmits an updated forwarded reservation signal, which is an update of a previously forwarded reservation signal in which multiple time-slots were reserved.

  • Patent number: 11962528
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for channel state information (CSI) for multiple transmission reception point (multi-TRP) transmission such as non-coherent joint transmission (NCJT), including determining subband sizes for CSI and rules for Part II CSI omission. A method that can be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a CSI report configuration. The CSI report configuration associated with one or more CSI reference signal (RS) resources, each CSI resource including a set of ports or port groups. The UE selects one or more CSI-RS resources for which to report CSI and determines a subband size for sending a CSI report based, at least in part, on payload of the CSI report. In an example method, the UE can determine whether the UE has sufficient resources for the CSI report and omit at least a portion of the CSI based on the determination.

    Abstract: One example method includes receiving, by a first mobility management network element, a first cell identifier and a network identifier from a first network element, where the network identifier includes an identifier of a first private network and an identifier of a second private network. The first mobility management network element can then obtain information about a second network element based on the first cell identifier and the network identifier, where the first network element serves a terminal device in the first private network, and where the second network element serves the terminal device in the second private network. The first mobility management network element can then send the first cell identifier and the network identifier to the second network element indicated by the information about the second network element, where the first cell identifier and the network identifier are used to obtain downlink routing information.

  • Patent number: 11943056
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting flexible frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) for sidelink are described. For example, a wireless device may receive, over a sidelink channel, control information including a parameter associated with a first FDRA of a first transport block (TB) associated with an initial transmission and an indication of a second FDRA of a second TB associated with a subsequent transmission after the initial transmission. The wireless device may identify the first FDRA of the first TB based on receiving the control information and may communicate one or more signals over the sidelink channel based on identifying the first FDRA of the first TB and receiving the indication of the second FDRA of the second TB. In some examples, the wireless device may receive, over a second sidelink channel, second control information including a second parameter associated with a size of the second TB.

  • Patent number: 11889488
    Abstract: A first communication device determines that a trigger frame and another frame are to be transmitted to at least a second communication device. The first communication device determines whether the second communication device announced support of aggregation of buffer status report (BSRP) trigger frames with additional frames. In response to the first communication device determining that the second communication device announced support of aggregation of BSRP trigger frames with additional frames, the first communication device generates an aggregate media access control protocol data unit (A-MPDU) to include the BSRP trigger frame and the other frame, and transmits the A-MPDU within a packet. In response to the first communication device determining that the second communication device did not announce support of aggregation of BSRP trigger frames with additional frames, the first communication device transmits a packet having only the BSRP trigger frame.
