Publication number: 20220263630Abstract: A user device for a wireless communication system is served by a base station and uses one or more frequency bands for a communication with one or more entities in the wireless communication system. The frequency bands include CORESETs, each including one or more search spaces carrying control information for the UE. The UE groups some or all of the CORESETs into respective CORESET groups, or some or all of the search spaces into respective search space groups. A CORESET group includes some or all CORESETs within a certain time window, and a search space group includes some or all search spaces within the certain time window. The grouping is responsive to one or more group IDs the UE is configured with, each group ID pointing to or indicating a CORESET group or a search space group, and/or determining CORESETs or search spaces to be within the same time window.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Thomas FEHRENBACH, Baris GÖKTEPE, Cornelius HELLGE, Thomas WIRTH, Thomas SCHIERL, Khaled Shawky HASSAN HUSSEIN, Martin LEYH, Thomas HEYN, Bernhard NIEMANN, Julian POPP, Nithin SRINIVASAN

Publication number: 20220182879Abstract: An apparatus for a wireless communication system uses a plurality of frequency bands for a communication with one or more network entities. The apparatus receives a transport block, TB, which is split into a plurality of code block groups, CBGs, comprising one or more code blocks, CBs, confined to one of the plurality of frequency bands. The apparatus provides or predicts a feedback for each CBG indicating one or more of a successful receipt, a non-successful receipt, no need for redundancy and a need for some redundancy. The apparatus compresses the feedbacks for each CBG into a compressed feedback based on an interference pattern on one or more of the frequency bands which is detectable at the apparatus and the transmitter or the one or more network entities, e.g. Listen-before-Talk, LBT, failure, and to transmit to the one or more of the network entities the compressed feedback.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2022Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Thomas FEHRENBACH, Baris GÖKTEPE, Cornelius HELLGE, Thomas WIRTH, Thomas SCHIERL, Khaled Shawky HASSAN HUSSEIN, Martin LEYH, Thomas HEYN, Bernhard NIEMANN, Julian POPP, Nithin SRINIVASAN

Publication number: 20220150968Abstract: A user device, UE, for a wireless communication system is served by a base station and uses one or more frequency bands for a communication with one or more entities, e.g., other UE(s) or other gNB(s), in the wireless communication system. Some or all of the plurality of frequency bands are unlicensed frequency bands on which a communication is allowed for a certain transmission time (COT) responsive to a successful channel access procedure e.g. Listen-Before-Talk, LBT. The UE is configured, e.g., using an RRC signaling, with one or more configured grant, CG, configurations so as to allow the UE to perform one or more CG transmissions. Responsive to detecting a COT and a potential collision of a CG transmission with the COT, e.g. the COT of another entity, e.g., other UE(s) or other gNB(s), in the wireless communication system, the UE deactivates or backs off the CG transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2022Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventors: Thomas FEHRENBACH, Baris GOEKTEPE, Cornelius HELLGE, Thomas WIRTH, Thomas SCHIERL, Khaled Shawky HASSAN, Martin LEYH, Thomas HEYN, Bernhard NIEMANN, Julian POPP, Nithin SRINIVASAN

Publication number: 20220061090Abstract: An apparatus, for wideband communication with one or more transceivers in a wireless communication system using one or more subbands of a predefined wideband, is configured to perform initial Listen-Before-Talk, LBT, for each subband of the predefined wideband so as to determine from the predefined wideband one or more non-occupied subbands on which the wideband communication is allowed during a certain transmission time, and during the certain transmission time, transmit to and/or receive from the transceiver using the non-occupied subbands. During the certain transmission time and in case the initial LBT indicted that one or more of the subbands are occupied, the apparatus is configured to perform a further LBT for the one or more occupied subbands so as to determine one or more of the initially occupied subbands being no longer occupied, and transmit to and/or receive from the transceiver using, in addition to the initially non-occupied subbands, the one or more no longer occupied subbands.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Inventors: Thomas FEHRENBACH, Baris GOEKTEPE, Cornelius HELLGE, Thomas WIRTH, Thomas SCHIERL, Khaled Shawky HASSAN HUSSEIN, Martin LEYH, Thomas HEYN, Bernhard NIEMANN, Julian POPP
