  • Patent number: 11997698
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a base station may indicate in system information, or a user equipment (UE) may determine based on system information, which reference signal resources may be used for channel estimation for a given broadcast control channel. In some examples, a base station may configure and transmit reference signals having the same numerology as a broadcast control channel according to a first reference signal pattern during the same subframe in which the broadcast control channel is configured. The first reference signal pattern may be more dense than a second reference signal pattern used for reference signals having a different numerology than the broadcast control channel. The more dense first reference signal pattern may provide sufficient reference signals for successful single-symbol channel estimation, resulting in a successful decoding of the broadcast control channel.

  • Patent number: 11956812
    Abstract: A method for processing a network allocation vector (NAV) includes: terminating the receiving of a first radio frame when it is determined that a target receiving station of the first radio frame being received is not a first station; and updating an NAV of the first station or maintaining the NAV of the first station unchanged according to a remaining duration of the first radio frame and a first transmission opportunity duration carried in the first radio frame, where the remaining duration of the first radio frame is the transmission time used for transmitting the remaining part of the first radio frame after the receiving of the first radio frame is terminated. The technical solution solves the problem in the related art of collisions with hidden stations caused by an inaccurate NAV update in the existing art, thereby ensuring the accuracy of an NAV update and the fairness of transmission and channel contention, and reducing collisions among hidden stations.

  • Patent number: 11882554
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may determine that the first UE is scheduled to transmit in a first slot and a second slot after the first slot. The first UE may then transmit, to a second UE, a first set of data in the first slot based on determining that the first UE is scheduled to transmit in the first slot and the second slot. In some examples, the first UE may determine whether a power estimation capability of the second UE satisfies a threshold. In some cases, the power estimation capability may be based on a correspondence between transmissions in the first slot and expected transmissions in the second slot. Based on the power estimation capability of the second UE, the first UE transmits data in a symbol reserved for automatic gain control at the second slot.
