  • Publication number: 20240187145
    Abstract: Techniques, described herein, include solutions for managing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes and communications for non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) (e.g., a wireless communication network that includes a satellite network component). A user equipment (UE) may connect to an NTN and determine hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) capabilities regarding NTNs. The UE may also communicate a HARQ disablement message to the NTN and communicate with NTN without HARQ procedures. The HARQ disablement message may provide the HARQ disablement capabilities of the UE and/or be a request for the network to disable HARQ. The HARQ disablement message may include a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message and may address HARQ disablement per logical channel identifier (LCID) or dedicated radio bearer (DRB).

  • Publication number: 20240172148
    Abstract: Techniques described herein may enable base stations and user equipment (UEs) to implement initial access related signaling that may vary the number of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) transmitted by a base station to better ensure that control frame transmissions (e.g., 120 kilohertz (kHz) subcarrier spacing (SCS) transmissions) are not overly encumbered by SSBs. A base station may indicate whether a discovery burst transmission window (DBTW) is enabled or disabled, whether listen-before-talk (LBT) is enabled or disabled, and whether transmissions correspond to a licensed band, unlicensed band, or combination thereof. The base station may also indicate a number of candidate SSBs per DBTW and/or which SSBs/SSB groups are active (e.g., actually transmitted) per discovery burst (DB).

  • Publication number: 20240172049
    Abstract: A method is to provide traffic related information in lower layers for an XR system and associated apparatuses. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) is configured to receive traffic related information from a peer UE or an application server. The UE then transmits the traffic related information to a base station (BS) using a radio resource control (RRC) message such as UEAssistanceInformation as provided by 3GPP technical specifications, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The transmission of the traffic related information from the UE enhances the wireless communication service for the XR system.

  • Publication number: 20240172018
    Abstract: Some aspects include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for radio resource management measurement prioritization for reduced capacity (RedCap) user equipment (UE). A RedCap UE may be use Half-Duplex Frequency Division Duplex (HD-FDD) for wireless communications. When performing communications with a network, the RedCap UE may make several measurements, including Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR), and Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) measurements. To obtain these measurements, the RedCap UE may measure Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), and/or Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) symbols. Difficulties may arise when a RedCap UE's serving cell signal timing is not synchronized with a neighboring cell. The RedCap UE may be configured to prioritize measurements over uplink transmissions.

    Abstract: A base station and user equipment (UE) may determine, based on a synchronization signal block (SSB) burst and an offset, an index slot, of a system frame number (SFN), corresponding to a Type0-PDCCH common search space (CSS). The base station may transmit, and the UE may receive, a PDCCH signal that includes the Type0-PDCCH CSS, such that the UE may monitor the Type0-PDCCH CSS from the base station. The offset (Ou) may be hardcoded as one of values 0, 2.5, 5, or 7.5, and one offset value may be used for one, more than one, or all SCS numerologies. The offset may be modified by a delta (?) value, a scaling factor, and/or a combination thereof.
