  • Patent number: 12028847
    Abstract: Latency reduction techniques for radio access networks are described. In various embodiments, a reduced transmission time interval (rTTI) may be implemented in order to reduce air interface latency in a radio access network. In some embodiments, an rTTI block may be defined, and some operations may be performed in rTTI block-wise fashion in order to reduce the marginal overhead associated with implementation of the rTTI. In various embodiments in which an rTTI is implemented, DM-RS granularity may be improved by use of techniques that enable data and reference signals to be multiplexed within a same OFDM symbol. In some embodiments, a current transmission time interval (TTI) may be maintained, and latency reduction may be achieved via the use of novel techniques for one or more of code block (CB) segmentation, uplink (UL) resource element (RE) mapping, and HARQ cycle timing. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11723002
    Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) to perform reduced transmission time interval (TTI) data transmission within a wireless communication network is disclosed. The UE can process a process, for transmission to an eNodeB, control information within a short transmission time interval (TTI) over a short TTI resource block (RB) set within a short physical uplink control channel (S-PUCCH), wherein the short TTI is shorter in time than a TTI that has a duration of at least one (1) millisecond, and wherein the S-PUCCH is a subset of resources available for a short physical uplink shared channel (S-PUSCH) and the S-PUSCH is a subset of resources available for a legacy PUSCH transmission; and process, for transmission to the eNodeB, data within the short TTI over the short TTI RB set within the S-PUSCH.

  • Patent number: 11632791
    Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for providing transmission resources that achieve transmission diversity while reducing pilot signal overhead are described. An exemplary wireless communication method may be implemented in a wireless communication system in which transmission resources are allocated on a per physical resource block (PRB) basis, where a PRB corresponds to a two dimensional resource pattern comprising a first number of subcarriers along a frequency dimension and a second number time slots along a time dimension. The method includes logically dividing subcarriers in each PRB into an integer number of sub-groups of sub-carriers, wherein the integer number is greater than one, allocating, to a transmission, transmission resources corresponding to one or more of the sub-groups of subcarriers, performing the transmission in the wireless communication system.

  • Patent number: 11102814
    Abstract: Described are mechanisms for eNB support of DRS in LAA, in which DRS is transmitted at one or more DRS occasions within a DMTC window, subject to LBT. In some embodiments, an eNB may include hardware processing circuitry comprising an antenna port, a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to determine a DMTC window of a wireless communication channel. The second circuitry may be operable to initiate one or more CCA checks through an antenna coupled to the antenna port prior to a DRS occasion within a DMTC time window. The third circuitry may be operable to initiate a DRS transmission through the antenna within the DMTC window upon a CCA check of the set of one or more CCA checks sensing that the wireless communication channel is idle. Also described are mechanisms for proactive support of DRS in LAA.
