Publication number: 20230284265Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for indicating network node fixed frame period (FFP) or UE FFP. A UE may transmit an uplink (UL) signal at a start of a UE FFP. A network node may respond by allocating UL resource(s) for subsequent UE transmission(s). The network node may implicitly signal, in Downlink Control Information (DCI), whether a UL transmission is to be transmitted based on assuming a UE FFP or a network node FFP for the UL transmission. The UE may make this assumption based on a cyclic prefix (CP) extension indication in DCI. For example, for certain CP extensions, the UE may determine to transmit the UL transmission according to the UE FFP. Otherwise, the UE may determine to transmit the UL transmission according to a network node FFP.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2021Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Claudio ROSA, Timo LUNTTILA, Kari HOOLI, Karol SCHOBER

Publication number: 20230269714Abstract: A network node allocates primary frequency resources and at least one secondary frequency resource to a user equipment (UE) within a dynamically changing bandwidth (BW) of a cell served by the network node. The network node further configures the UE to use the primary frequency resources for an UL transmission when the primary frequency resources fall within an UL part of the BW, and to use the secondary frequency resource for the UL transmission when the primary frequency resources fall, at least partly, within a downlink (DL) part and/or a Guard Band (GB) of the BW, and/or fall, at least partly, outside the BW. The UE may dynamically, based on such configuration from the network node, adapt its resource allocation to perform the UL transmission even if the primary frequency resources are not fully within the UL part of the BW in a current time resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2020Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Claudio ROSA, Klaus Ingemann PEDERSEN, Nuno Manuel KIILERICH PRATAS

Publication number: 20230254894Abstract: A node configured to support a method of communicating between two nodes in the unlicensed spectrum is disclosed where a channel can be simultaneously used for downlink and uplink communication. The method performed at a node involves assessing at that node, for example, a UE, that there is a transmission to be made to a further node, for example a gNB. The first node receives an indication that communication with the further node is supportable on a channel within an unlicensed spectrum using flexible frequency division duplex (FDD) techniques. The first node determines whether transmission by the further node is being made within a first portion of the channel within the unlicensed spectrum; and if so, transmits to the further node within a second portion of the channel which does not overlap with the first.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2020Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Claudio Rosa, Nuno Pratas, Olli Alanen, Mika Kasslin, Adrian Garcia RODRIGUEZ, Lorenzo Galati GIORDANO
