  • Publication number: 20260205210
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A passive (e.g., ambient Internet of Things (A-loT IoT)) wireless device may receive a continuous wave signal from a Device 275 radio frequency (RF) source that triggers the passive device to measure an RF signal. Based on an amount of energy stored at the passive device, a received power of the signal, or both, the passive device may perform the measurement and transmit a report to a reader, which may forward the report to the RF source. Alternatively, the passive device may transmit a backscattered signal to the reader indicating its inability to perform the measurement, or a request for measurement assistance. The reader may measure a signal strength of the backscattered signal and transmit a corresponding measurement report to the RF source. Accordingly, the RF source may adjust its transmit power or trigger the passive device to switch to a different RF source.

  • Publication number: 20260196838
    Abstract: In a new energy grid-connected system, new energy assemblies are distributedly arranged in sub-modules to form a new energy storage submodule including a direct current bus, a power module, an energy storage module, a first converter, and a new energy assembly. The new energy assembly is connected to an energy storage system in the form of new energy storage submodule for operation. Modularizing the new energy assembly can reduce the impact of a single failure of a new energy assembly on a new energy grid-connected system. That is, in the case that a single new energy assembly fails, the new energy storage submodule where the failed new energy assembly is located can be removed, reducing the impact on the operation of other new energy assemblies, and increasing the proportion of operation time of the new energy grid-connected system.

  • Patent number: 12652093
    Abstract: Port selection codebook enhancements are disclosed for spatial and frequency domain density (FDD) reciprocity. A base station may generate and signal a channel state information (CSI) report configuration including configuration of multiple CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) port groups, wherein each group includes one or more CSI-RS ports, and each group is associated with one or more codebook subset restrictions (CBSRs). Using the configured restrictions of the CBSRs, served user equipments (UEs) may determine linear combination coefficient feedback based on channel measurements of selected port groups and signals the feedback to the base station. Once the base station receives the feedback it may then determine a hybrid CSI-RS codebook using both the configured CSI-RS port groups and the linear combination coefficients. The base station may then transmit downlink data encoded with a precoding matrix selected from the codebook. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
