  • Patent number: 11291026
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for indicating transmit power control information to a user equipment (UE) for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) transmissions in short transmission time intervals (TTIs) from the UE, and for configuring reference signal transmissions in SPS transmissions of short TTIs. A UE may be configured with uplink power control information for SPS transmissions that use sTTIs that is separate from uplink power control for longer TTIs. A UE may receive the power control information and apply it in SPS transmissions that use sTTIs. Uplink transmit power for SPS sTTI transmissions may be independent of power control for regular sTTI transmissions and independent of power control for long TTI transmissions. UEs may apply a cyclic shift to reference signals transmitted is SPS transmissions according to a SPS configuration, rather than a cyclic shift indicated in a SPS activation command.

  • Patent number: 11229013
    Abstract: Design of control resource sets (CORESETs) is disclosed for new radio (NR) unlicensed (NR-U) operations with subband access. A default CORESET may be defined for multiple or all subbands within the allocated NR system bandwidth where each subband is covered by a sub-CORESET. When a decoding candidate of the set of decoding candidates spans the boundary of multiple sub-CORESETs, a base station may either remove the overlapping decoding candidate from the set of decoding candidates, shift the decoding candidate into the next location fully within a sub-CORESET, or continue transmission of the decoding candidate while puncturing the portion on the inaccessible subband. In the puncturing option, a user equipment (UE) would perform additional blind decoding in each subband according to the associated sub-CORESET. In additional aspects, after beginning of a transmission opportunity, the UE uses the knowledge of accessible subbands for fast CORESET switching via broadcast or UE-specific signaling.
