  • Publication number: 20240056925
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to mobility management across multiple subsystems of wireless network devices, such as base-stations, drones, balloons, planes and satellites. In particular, the maintenance of user experiences across the subsystems is addressed. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to integrating terrestrial networks with non-terrestrial networks and establishing mechanisms for managing mobility of user devices as the devices travel from a service area defined by a connection with a terrestrial network to a service area defined by a connection with a non-terrestrial network or vice versa. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to establishing a format for an exchange of communication between user devices and transmit-receive points so that the mobility of the user device may be appropriately managed.

  • Publication number: 20240015742
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application pertain to control information for scheduling a transmission resource for downlink and uplink communications between one or more TRP and one or more UE. One Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for DL control information transmission is assumed to carry at least one assignment or scheduling information block for at least one Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) for DL data transmission or for at least one Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) for UL data transmission. Embodiments of the present application provide methods of providing configuration information that can be used by a user equipment (UE) to determine transmission mode for the PDSCH and PUSCH as well as information to determine where to monitor for the PDSCH, PUSCH and PUCCH information.

  • Patent number: 11856468
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure pertain to mobility management processes for cells directly at Layer 1 (L1) or Layer 2 (L2), in a manner that reduces latency of inter-cell mobility methods and enhances user experience under mobility (i.e. handover). To address some of the limitations of existing inter-cell mobility methods, embodiments of the disclosure aid in enabling system information acquisition from neighbor cells for inter-cell mobility, system information update for neighbor cells for inter-cell mobility, radio link monitoring (RLM) for inter-cell mobility and using an uplink transmission mechanism for inter-cell mobility to acknowledge receipt of a handover message for inter-cell mobility.

  • Patent number: 11856415
    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided that use lower-layer signalling, for example Layer 1 (L1) and/or Layer 2 (L2), as a part of mobility beam management. A method for performing inter-cell mobility management may include receiving, by a user equipment (UE) from a network, higher-layer signaling that includes configuration information for a plurality of mobility beam management reference signals (MBM-RSs) enabling the UE to measure MBM-RSs transmitted by at least one base station in the network. In addition the UE may receive from the network, lower-layer signaling include additional information relating to monitoring for a mobility beam MBM event.

  • Publication number: 20230370205
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide, in a system that uses multiple radio link types for different networks within the system, methods for selecting more than one radio link type for transmission and acknowledgement of a signal to overcome a problem of mismatch of RTT of signaling over the different radio link types. As a particular example, in an integrated system including both a terrestrial network (TN) portion and a non-terrestrial network (NTN) portion, after an original signal is transmitted over the NTN portion, acknowledgement of the original signal, and retransmissions as necessary, can be carried out over the NT portion.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a manner of associating a physical layer channel, such as, but not limited to, physical broadcast channel (PBCH), physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and a receive beam assumption. The beam assumption may, for example, relate a receive beam direction with a reference signal transmitted by a base station in which the reference signal is used for any of multiple uses by a user equipment (UE), such as beam management, multiple BS, including terrestrial BS and/or non-terrestrial BS, and UE mobility.

  • Patent number: 11800522
    Abstract: Systems and methods of transmitting and receiving combined uplink control information (UCI) in respect of downlink assignments are provided. The UE is configured to combine certain UCI based on a property of downlink assignment, such as PDCCH ID, beam information, CORESET. The UE may also be configured to determine which UCI having the same value of the property of downlink assignment to combine. This can be based on a value-specific monitoring window or a monitoring window that is common to multiple values of the assignment property.

  • Patent number: 11764905
    Abstract: Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) retransmissions based on User Equipment (UE) cooperation involves a first UE receiving a transmission comprising a data block that is destined for a second UE, and transmitting the data block toward the second UE according to a data block retransmission mechanism to enable the second UE to identify the data block transmitted from the first UE as being one of a plurality of concurrent transmissions of the data block according to the data block retransmission mechanism. The concurrent transmissions of the data block are processable by the second UE in combination to determine a reception status of the data block.

  • Publication number: 20230007547
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure propose solutions to a problem of mobility interruption during handover between base stations by providing a UE with mechanisms to report the UE capability for simultaneous connectivity based handover, or so-called Dual Active Protocol Stack Handover (DAPS-HO). A UE reports the DAPS-HO capability of the UE to the network and then the base station initiates physical layer procedures to carry out DAPS-HO in accordance with the DAPS-HO capability reported by the UE. Aspects of the present disclosure also provide examples of signaling that may be used by the UE for reporting DAPS-HO capability to the network and the physical layer procedures that the UE may follow in accordance with the configuration that the network provides to the UE, which should be in accordance with the UE's capability.

  • Publication number: 20220278733
    Abstract: An integrated terrestrial/non-terrestrial network may allow for enhanced network coverage. However, there are control and management challenges associated with an integrated terrestrial/non-terrestrial network because the network and user equipments (UEs) are no longer confined to only using conventional cellular communication via terrestrial transmit-and-receive points (T-TRPs). One challenge is how to perform beam management. In some embodiments, methods and systems are disclosed in which an indication of angular direction (e.g. beam direction) is provided by the T-TRP. The indication of angular direction may be used by a UE for communicating with a non-terrestrial TRP (NT-TRP), e.g. using beamforming. However, the methods are not limited to integrated terrestrial/non-terrestrial networks or the involvement of NT-TRPs, but apply more generally to indicating angular direction for directional communication.

  • Patent number: 11323223
    Abstract: Aspects of the present application use diversity of more than one TCI state, QCL assumption, precoder and/or SRI on the network side to enable multiple transmission beams in a transmission period having multiple transmission opportunities to provide robust beam transmission from the network side. An example of transmission opportunities in a transmission period may be OFDM symbols in a slot. Aspects of the present application use diversity of more than one TCI state, QCL assumption, precoder and/or SRI at the UE to enable the UE to transmit multiple transmission beams in a configured transmission period having multiple transmission opportunities to provide robust transmission from the UEs. When using multiple transmission beams, in the event that data transmitted on one beam cannot be decoded (e.g. due to beam blockage, poor radio conditions, etc.), data transmitted on other beams can still be decoded successfully.
