  • Patent number: 11812446
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to indicate a transmission scheme configuration for a message and whether the message is a retransmission or new transmission. In a first example, a base station may configure a subset of one or more feedback process identifiers (IDs) for multicast messages. In such cases, if a grant includes a feedback process ID associated with one of the reserved IDs, the message scheduled by the grant may be a retransmission of a multicast message. In a second example, feedback process IDs may be dynamically allocated to multicast or unicast messages via a corresponding grant. A message may be identified as a new transmission or retransmission of a unicast message or multicast message based on a combination of an ID associated with the grant and a new data indicator (NDI) of the grant.

  • Publication number: 20230354441
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Described techniques provide for mitigating error in time or frequency adjustments for preambles of a random access procedure. A user equipment may use one value for the adjustment when transmitting data to a non-terrestrial network, but then transmit the preamble of a random access procedure according to a preamble-specific time or frequency adjustment based on one or more indications received from the network (e.g., rather than resetting the adjustment to “0”). By using some signaled value for the preamble-specific timing or frequency adjustment rather than resetting the adjustment to “0,” preamble reception performance may be maintained or improved with as many or fewer position measurements for the UE or non-terrestrial network entity.

  • Patent number: 11804989
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. These wireless communications may include channel estimation procedures between communicating devices such as a base station and user equipment (UE). For example, the UE may receive, from the base station, a resource grant triggering a given reference signal configuration. Based at least in part on the type of reference signal configuration, the UE (e.g., and the base station) may determine a timing offset relative to the resource grant. The UE may transmit (and the base station may receive) the reference signal based at least in part on the timing offset. In some cases, the reference signal may be transmitted in a transmission opportunity of a set of transmission opportunities, where the set of transmission opportunities is determined based at least in part on the reference signal configuration.

  • Publication number: 20230337234
    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: 11792824
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently allocating resources for multicast feedback from one or more user equipment (UEs) and efficiently retransmitting information in transport blocks to the one or more UEs. If a UE fails to decode one or more transport blocks of a set of transport blocks from a base station, the UE may report feedback, such as a negative acknowledgment (NACK), to the base station. The base station may receive the feedback from the UE and potentially from other UEs that failed to decode one or more transport blocks of the set of transport blocks, and the base station may multicast one or more outer-coded transport blocks to the UEs. Each of the outer-coded transport blocks may include a different combination (for example, a linear combination) of transport blocks of the set of transport blocks.

  • Patent number: 11778625
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured with a mapping between downlink control information (DCI) codepoint values, multicast configurations, and unicast configurations. A DCI may then signal to the UE to apply one of a multicast configuration or a unicast configuration to receive a shared data channel transmission. For example, for a given DCI field of a group-common downlink control channel for multicast data, one or some DCI codepoint values may be associated with values configured for a multicast configuration, while remaining codepoints are associated with values configured for a unicast configuration. In some implementations, the UE may identify which multicast configuration or unicast configuration to apply based on the mapping, a type of data transmission scheduled by the DCI, specified values for the DCI codepoint values, whether the shared data channel transmission is a retransmission, or a combination thereof.
