  • Patent number: 11844028
    Abstract: A base station transmits a first transmission using a first directional beam and determines an equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) relationship between the first transmission and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) for a user equipment (UE). The base station transmits, to the UE, an indication of the EIRP relationship between the first transmission and the PDSCH. Then, the base station transmits the PDSCH to the UE using the second directional beam. The UE uses the indication of the EIRP relationship to receive the PDSCH from the base station over the second directional beam.

  • Patent number: 11832300
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a base station may recover a UE from a Msg3 failure during an RA procedure. During the RA procedure, the base station may transmit a RAR message to the UE and in response to the RAR message the UE may transmit an uplink message (e.g., Msg3) to the base station over a first resource indicated in the RAR message. If the base station fails to decode or receive the uplink message over the first resource, the base station may transmit a grant to the UE indicating a second resource for retransmitting the uplink message and the UE may retransmit uplink message to the base station according to the grant.

  • Patent number: 11785553
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for transmit power control for positioning using non-serving cells are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine that an uplink reference signal may be associated with a positioning procedure. In some cases, the positioning procedure may include transmission, by the UE, of the reference signal to a non-serving cell, which may be farther away from the UE than a serving cell. The UE may determine an absence of a parameter associated with a transmit power for transmitting the reference signal. Based on the absence, the UE may determine the transmit power based on parameters received from a serving cell, based on configuration information, based on a message intercepted from the non-serving cell, or based on other considerations or information. In some cases, the UE may determine the transmit power such that the likelihood of the non-serving cell receiving the reference signal is increased.
