Abstract: User equipment to transmit signals (e.g., concurrently) using multiple SIMs. If the user equipment determines to perform transmission power back-off due to operating using the multiple SIMs (MuSIM operation), the user equipment sends an indication to each network corresponding to each SIM that it is performing the power back-off. If a network supports MuSIM operation, then the user equipment sends an indication that it is performing the power back-off due to MuSIM operation (e.g., an MuSIM Maximum Power Reduction (M-MPR) indication). For such a network, it is assumed that the M-MPR indication would be standardized under an applicable specification. If a network does not support MuSIM operation (e.g., a legacy network), then the user equipment leverages a legacy power back-off indication (e.g., a Power Management Maximum Power Reduction (P-MPR) indication) to indicate to the network that it is performing a power back-off.

Abstract: A base station may send an indication of frequency subranges supported by the base station to user equipment, which may respond with an indication of the frequency subranges that are also supported by the user equipment. Additionally, a Spectrum Access System (SAS) controller, using environmental sensing capability sensors, may determine whether non-federal networks are disposed in a coverage area of a base station and neighboring coverage areas. If so, then the SAS may indicate to the base station to send an indication to user equipment in the coverage area to operate using a default power mode. Otherwise, the SAS may indicate to the base station to send an indication to the user equipment to operate using a lower power mode. Moreover, a base station may indicate a regulatory requirement to user equipment using network signaling value of multiple network signaling values corresponding to multiple regulatory requirements of multiple geographical regions.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to techniques for measuring and/or detecting a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) of a received signal at a user equipment (UE). The received signal may include a desired signal, co-channel interference, adjacent channel interference, and an in-band blocker. The UE may filter (e.g., remove) the various interferences and in-band blocker. The UE may determine or measure a power (or Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)) of the desired signal and a power (or RSSI) of the co-channel interference separately because the desired signal and the co-channel interference overlap in frequency. To do so, the UE may determine a total power of the received signal including the desired signal and co-channel interference. The UE may receive the desired signal again while an uplink transmission is deactivated (and thus without the interference). The UE may then calculate the SIR based on the total power and the power of the desired signal.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for indicating to a spectrum access system communication preferences of a base station and/or of a network operator. Different methods may be used to indicate the communication preferences, including a dedicated type parameter transmitted with spectrum allocation requests from the base station, a rule-based system where the spectrum access system accesses communication preferences of the base station and/or network operator through an identifier corresponding to a rule definition, or the like. The spectrum access system may assign a channel to the network operator based on its communication preferences, such as to determine a channel assignment to correspond to a channel aligned with a raster of communications to be used by the network operator. If the channel is not aligned, then the base station may shift a center frequency of the channel so that the channel aligns with the raster of communications.

Abstract: Embodiments herein enable user equipment to indicate that it may operate in a transmission diversity mode, but may fall back to a single transmission mode for a lower power class. In particular, if the user equipment will not fall back to a single transmission mode for a lower power class, then the base station configures uplink resources for the user equipment based on the user equipment operating in the transmission diversity mode. Otherwise, the user equipment sends an indication to the base station that it will use the single transmission mode for the lower power class. The base station then configures uplink resources for the user equipment based on the user equipment operating in the transmission diversity mode for the higher power class, and configures the uplink resources for the user equipment based on the user equipment operating in the single transmission mode for the lower power class.

Abstract: A base station sends system information to user equipment based on the user equipment detecting network coverage provided by the base station. The system information may include one or more network signaling flags indicative of a legacy regulation and an updated regulation (or a legacy version of a regulation and an updated version of the regulation) for operating on a frequency band. The user equipment transmits an indication to the base station as to whether it supports the legacy regulation and/or the updated regulation. The base station configures uplink and/or downlink resources on the frequency band for the user equipment based on the regulation indicated. The user equipment and the base station then communicate using the configured resources on the frequency band.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide various apparatuses and techniques that indicate multiple power classes that user equipment may support to a network. The user equipment may support at least a lower power class (e.g., having a lower maximum transmission power) and a higher power class (e.g., having a higher maximum transmission power) to the network. The user equipment may send indications to the network that it supports both the lower power class and the higher power class. If the network/user equipment are in a geographical region associated with regulations limiting transmission power to the lower maximum transmission power, then the network may configure a transmission power characteristic based on the lower power class. If the network/user equipment are in a geographical region associated with regulations limiting transmission power to the higher maximum transmission power, then the network may configure the transmission power characteristic based on the higher power class.

Abstract: A communication system may include user equipment (UE) communicatively coupled to one or more base stations. The UE and/or the one or more base stations may receive an indication of self-interference at the UE. This indication may be based on a receiver of the UE (e.g., a receive signal quality, a receive signal power, and so on), a transmitter of the UE (e.g., a transmission power), an estimate of self-interference, and so on. If there is sufficient self-interference (e.g., if the self-interference exceeds a threshold), then the one or more base stations may configure the UE for non-simultaneous receive/transmit operation to avoid transmission interfering with reception. If there is a lack of self-interference (e.g., if the self-interference does not exceed the threshold), then the one or more base stations may configure the UE for simultaneous receive/transmit operation, as transmission is unlikely to interfere with reception.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to techniques to facilitate power boosting for wireless communication devices (e.g., user equipment). The user equipment may be subject to specifications (e.g., the 3GPP specification) that require maximum power reduction (MPR) depending on the resource block allocation region in which the user equipment is operating. However, certain regions defined by the 3GPP specification may not facilitate transmission power boost as applied to shaped (e.g., modulated) transmissions. The techniques disclosed herein include defining the regions such that the MPR restrictions applied to the user equipment are reduced or minimized for allocations that enable power boosting. The regions may be defined using parameters based on a maximum number of resource blocks specified for a certain channel bandwidth, the amount of allocated resource blocks, and the resource block at which the allocation begins.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to techniques for measuring and/or detecting a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) of a received signal at a user equipment (UE). The received signal may include a desired signal, co-channel interference, adjacent channel interference, and an in-band blocker. The UE may filter (e.g., remove) the various interferences and in-band blocker. The UE may determine or measure a power (or Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)) of the desired signal and a power (or RSSI) of the co-channel interference separately because the desired signal and the co-channel interference overlap in frequency. To do so, the UE may determine a total power of the received signal including the desired signal and co-channel interference. The UE may receive the desired signal again while an uplink transmission is deactivated (and thus without the interference). The UE may then calculate the SIR based on the total power and the power of the desired signal.

Abstract: User equipment (UE) applies a first code division multiplex access (CDMA) code to a baseband signal to generate a first signal, and a second CDMA code to the baseband signal to generate a second signal. The UE then transmits the first signal to a receiving device via a first antenna, and the second signal to the receiving device via a second antenna. The receiving device receives the first and second signals as a combined signal at an antenna, and extracts the first signal from the combined signal using the first CDMA code, and extracts the second signal from the combined signal using the second CDMA code. The CDMA codes may be real-valued or complex-valued. In some embodiments, the UE may separate the baseband signals into first and second portions, and transmit the first portion as part of the first signal and the second portion as part of the second signal.

Abstract: User equipment may configure a transmitter or receiver to conform to regulations or standards of a geographical region to communicate with non-terrestrial networks (e.g., satellite networks). In one embodiment, the user equipment may receive an indication of a regulation or standard to which to conform to from a terrestrial communication node, and apply an emission mask to the transmitter based on the regulation or standard. The user equipment may additionally or alternatively configure the receiver to be compliant with a noise level tolerance of a received signal specified by the regulation or standard. In some embodiments, the user equipment may implement a frequency offset between the received signal and an interfering signal associated with the noise level tolerance that is scaled based at least on a channel bandwidth associated with the desired signal. Moreover, the user equipment may scale the noise level tolerance based on the frequency offset.
