  • Publication number: 20250254636
    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate neighbor cell measurements with non-cell-defined synchronization signal blocks (NCD-SSB). One example aspect is a baseband processor of a user equipment (UE), including one or more processors configured to receive an indication of a NCD-SSB and a cell-defined (CD)-SSB (CD-SSB) configuration. The one or more processors further perform a measurement procedure to obtain a cell measurement value associated with a SSB wherein the SSB is one of the NCD-SSB or the CD-SSB. Subsequently, the one or more processors compare the cell measurement value with a threshold value; and perform measurement of a neighbor cell when the cell measurement value does not satisfy the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 12375134
    Abstract: Techniques, described herein, include solutions for managing uplink control information (UCI) transmission for a channel state information (CSI) report resulting from measurements of CSI measurement resources. In response to the CSI report exceeding allocated uplink resources of a UCI transmission, a compressed CSI report can be generated by performing an uplink control information (UCI) omission to omit parameters of the CSI report based on components comprising frequency domain (FD) components and time domain (TD) components of the MIMO codebook configuration. The UCI transmission can be generated with the compressed CSI report.

  • Patent number: 12376183
    Abstract: Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE). The UE generates a first information for the UE for transmission to a network device. The first information is associated with a small data transmission (SDT) procedure in an inactive state of the UE. The UE obtains a first configuration information from the network device. The first configuration information is determined with reference to the first information. The UE determines whether to perform the SDT procedure in the inactive state according to the first configuration information. The UE, in response to determining to perform the SDT procedure in the inactive state, performs the SDT procedure in the inactive state according to the first configuration information.

  • Patent number: 12369152
    Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to perform SRS transmission when a UE supports SRS Tx antenna port switching. In an example, a determination is made about whether a scheduled SRS transmission impacts a scheduled DL reception given the SRS Tx antenna port switching. If so, the SRS transmission and/or the DL reception are changed. In a further example, the UE can supports an SRS TA capability in conjunction with the SRS Tx antenna port switching capability. In this example, SRS TA can be applied to a scheduled SRS transmission.
