  • Patent number: 11317251
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to improve support for broadcast systems. In some wireless communications systems, such as broadcast systems for a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS), an inter-site distance between transmitters or between a transmitter and a receiver may be relatively large compared to an inter-site distance for other scenarios of a wireless communication system (for example, cellular data or talk scenarios). A transmitter in a broadcast system may adjust one or more characteristics of resources in a frame, such as the subframe structure, slot structure, or symbol structure, in carriers dedicated for MBMS resource transmissions. For instance, the transmitter may adjust durations of one or more symbols in a frame.

  • Publication number: 20220116972
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration for a group-common physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), where the group-common PDSCH is repeated for a number of repetitions. Accordingly, the UE may determine this number of repetitions and then monitor for the group-common PDSCH based on the number of repetitions. In some implementations, the group-common PDSCH may include a semi-static repetition scheme, where the number of repetitions is indicated via a group aggregation factor. Additionally or alternatively, the group-common PDSCH may include a dynamic repetition scheme, where the number of repetitions is indicated via a group repetition number. Additionally, the techniques described herein may enable the configuration for the repeated group-common PDSCH to include gaps between each repetition of the group-common PDSCH and for the UE to transmit acknowledgment feedback for the repetitions of the group-common PDSCH.

  • Patent number: 11265932
    Abstract: A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for wireless communication at a User Equipment (UE). The UE receives a second random access message from the base station after transmitting a first random access message. The second random access message comprises a random access response (RAR) that indicates a narrowband to be used for receiving a fourth random access message. The apparatus determines whether to perform a measurement of the narrowband for the fourth random access message based on an amount of time between receiving the second random access message and transmitting a third random access message. The base station may determine whether the report comprises a measurement of the first narrowband or the second narrowband based on an amount of time between the second random access message and the third random access message or based on an indication in the third random access message.
