Patent number: 12289758Abstract: A method performed by a WTRU may comprise receiving a plurality of LBT configurations associated with one or more of a beam, a BWP, a LCH, a set of LBT parameters, a transmission type or an LBT subband. The method may further comprise receiving an indication to transmit using a first LBT configuration of the plurality of LBT configurations. An attempt to acquire a channel may then be made using the first LBT configuration. The indication to transmit may additionally indicate a second LBT configuration of the plurality of LBT configurations. Data may be transmitted on the channel when the attempt to acquire the channel is successful. An attempt to acquire the channel using the second LBT configuration of the plurality of LBT configurations may be made when the attempt to acquire the channel using the first LBT configuration fails.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: J. Patrick Tooher, Faris Alfarhan, Paul Marinier, Aata El Hamss, Ghyslain Pelletier, Dylan James Watts

Patent number: 12273888Abstract: Methods and apparatus for wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) power control are described. A method includes receiving a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) list configuration including entries, each including a resource allocation that includes a slot offset value. L1 signaling is received indicating a minimum slot offset value. Downlink control information (DCI) is decoded on a physical downlink control channel in a slot. An index is obtained from the decoded DCI, identifying an entry in the TDRA list. A particular slot offset value identified by the index is retrieved from the TDRA list and compared with the minimum slot offset value. If the particular slot offset value is less than the minimum slot offset value, the entry is invalid. If the particular slot offset value is greater than or equal to the minimum slot offset value, a physical downlink shared channel is received.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2019Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Moon-il Lee, Erdem Bala, Janet A. Stern-Berkowitz, Afshin Haghighat, Marian Rudolf, Paul Marinier, Faris Alfarhan, Dylan James Watts, Ghyslain Pelletier

Publication number: 20250016708Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may communicate in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) comprising a plurality of satellites. The WTRU may be preconfigured with a plurality of measurement configurations and a corresponding plurality of activation/deactivation criteria associated with the plurality of satellites. The activation/deactivation criteria includes at least activation timing information. The WTRU may activate and deactivate each of the plurality of measurement configurations over time in accordance with the activation/deactivation criteria. The WTRU may perform measurements on cell beams for satellites with active measurement configurations and report results based on the measurements to NTN.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Applicant: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Mouna Hajir, Dylan James Watts, Yugeswar Deenoo, Ghyslain Pelletier
