  • Patent number: 12785771
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a channel state information (CSI) report configuration or a trigger for reporting a CSI report. The UE may receive one or more CSI-reference signal (RS) resources associated with the CSI report. The UE may determine, based on a measurement of one or more CSI-RSs, a channel quality for each slot of a set of slots. The UE may transmit, during an uplink transmission occasion, the CSI report that includes the channel quality for two or more slots of the set of slots. The UE may transmit the CSI report during an uplink transmission occasion.

  • Patent number: 12785769
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for closed-loop precoding for multiple-input multiple-output for transmitter circle arrays, for example uniform circular array panels. In some aspects, a base station including a transmitter circle array may steer a beam to a user equipment (UE) using codebooks, quantization rules, and feedback from the user equipment. In some aspects, the same transmitter circle array may be used for both backhaul communications with a device at a fixed location, for example using beams formed via discrete Fourier transform (DFT) vectors, and access communications with a UE via non-DFT beams coded using closed-loop precoding.

  • Publication number: 20260313457
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques that enable simplified encoding operations, decoding operations, or both, by a wireless communication device, such as a user equipment (UE) or a base station. In an example, the wireless communication device may use a medium access control layer (MAC) to inspect packets. If two inspected packets indicate different encoding processes, including at least one semantic encoding process, the MAC layer may avoid assigning the packets to the same MAC packet data unit (PDU) (also referred to as multiplexing the packets) and may instead assign the packets to different MAC PDUs. In an alternative implementation of the first example, packets associated with different encoding processes may be assigned to different radio bearers, and the MAC layer may avoiding assigning the packets to the same MAC PDU in accordance with the packets being associated with the different radio bearers.
