  • Patent number: 12232055
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for configuring full power transmission modes in a UE. The disclosed full power transmission modes include a Mode 0 and a Mode 3, which are enhancements over previous modes disclosed in the 3GPP specification. The UE gathers supported modes and configuration capabilities, such as number of ports and supported coherency schemes, and forwards the configuration capabilities to the network. The network analyzes the received information and selects a supported full power transmission mode based on the UE capabilities. The selection is then transmitted to the UE in a PUSCH-Config message. The UE extracts the selection from the PUSCH-Config message, and configures its radio accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20250056449
    Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing downlink transmission and interlace uplink transmission. For example, some aspects of this disclosure relate to a base station including a transceiver configured to communicate over a wireless network with a user equipment (UE) and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor divides a plurality of candidate Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) positions in a time window into a plurality of groups and communicates, using the transceiver, information associated with the plurality of groups of candidate SSB positions to the UE. The processor further performs a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure. In response to the LBT procedure being successful, the processor determines a first group of the plurality of groups and transmits, using the transceiver, one or more SSBs on one or more candidate SSB positions of the first group to the UE.

The techniques include a method for sharing a Channel Occupancy Time (COT) in a sidelink (SL) channel that includes performing a Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) by a first wireless device to initialize the COT. The first wireless device determines that a portion of the COT may be shared, and transmits to one or more qualifying wireless devices, first Sidelink Control Information (SCI). The first SCI may include a destination identification (ID), an offset, and a SL duration. The destination ID indicates one or more qualifying wireless devices that may share the COT, and the SL duration defines a duration of time available for the one or more qualifying wireless devices to share the COT. The first wireless device may resume transmission in the COT.
