  • Publication number: 20240137972
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling that indicates a configuration for subband full duplex (SBFD) slots and a random access channel (RACH) configuration for SBFD slots. The UE may transmit at least one instance of a RACH message in an uplink subband of an SBFD slot in accordance with the RACH configuration. The RACH configuration may enable a UE to repeat a RACH message or transmit a multi-slot RACH message across an SBFD slot and an uplink slot. The RACH configuration may map synchronization signal blocks (SSB)s to RACH occasions in the uplink subband of the SBFD slot. In some examples, the SSBs may be mapped across multiple (e.g., consecutive) SBFD slots. In some cases, the RACH configuration may enable a UE to repeat a RACH message or transmit a multi-slot RACH message across multiple SBFD slots.

  • Patent number: 11968662
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a user equipment (UE) may be configured with periodic uplink grants that provide a number of repetitions and a redundancy version (RV) sequence for the repetitions. Prior to the start of an uplink grant period, the UE may determine a set of slots that are available for uplink transmissions in the uplink grant period. Based on the set of slots, the UE may determine a corresponding RV for repetitions of the uplink communication associated with each slot. The slots with uplink transmissions within the uplink grant period may be non-contiguous. Repetitions of an uplink communication may be configured to be transmitted across multiple uplink grant periods, which may be triggered based on a threshold value associated with the repetitions.

  • Patent number: 11943018
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) having partially coherent antennas may be configured for simultaneous transmissions on groups of antennas. To achieve the benefits of simultaneous transmissions using groups of antenna that are partially coherent, without having the transmissions affect each other, the UE may apply a hybrid closed-loop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scheme among each antenna in the antenna groups where phase coherence can be maintained. Following the hybrid closed-loop MIMO scheme, the UE may apply a transparent diversity scheme across each antenna of the groups. Alternatively, the UE may first apply the transparent diversity scheme and next apply the hybrid closed-loop MIMO scheme. By applying a hybrid closed-loop MIMO scheme, and a transparent diversity scheme, the UE may fully realize its resources and contribute to an improved spatial diversity for a MIMO system.

The UE may determine a first transmission power available for uplink carrier aggregation transmissions by the UE across the multiple component carriers during a transmission occasion. The UE may transmit one or more uplink messages associated with a second transmission power via one or more of the component carriers. The UE may transmit a power headroom report that includes a carrier aggregation power headroom parameter. A value of the carrier aggregation power headroom parameter may be based on the first transmission power and the second transmission power associated with uplink carrier aggregation transmissions via at least one of the multiple component carriers during the transmission occasion.

  • Patent number: 11917689
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to random access procedures. In one example, a UE initiates a random access procedure with a base station, and receives a random access response (RAR) message from the base station in response to the initiating of the random access procedure. The UE further determines a redundancy version (RV) pattern comprising a sequence of a plurality of RVs. The UE also transmits an uplink (UL) communication to the base station as part of the random access procedure. The UL communication comprises a plurality of repetitions of a UL message, each repetition being an iteration of the UL message that is configured by applying a respective RV of the plurality of RVs to the UL message based on the sequence. The UE further receives a downlink message from the base station based on the UL message. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 11916718
    Abstract: Techniques for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction are described. Wireless devices may use one or more PAPR shaping resources, such as expanded bandwidth and/or pulse-shaping filtering, for shaping a signal to reduce PAPR. For example, expanded bandwidth may be utilized for adding a cyclic affix (CA), such as may comprise a cyclic prefix (CP), cyclic suffix (CS), etc., and combinations thereof, to a frequency domain data signal to provide a CP augmented frequency domain data signal used to generate a reduced PAPR time domain data signal. Additionally or alternatively, pulse-shaping filtering may be applied to a frequency domain signal to provide a pulse-shaped frequency domain data signal used to generate a reduced PAPR time domain data signal. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 11916716
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to techniques for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction based on a tone reservation (TR) algorithm. For a TR algorithm, a suitable subset of tones from among a full set of tones in a given resource allocation are reserved for use as peak reduction tones (PRT). An apparatus such as a transmission/reception point receives a set of one or more PRT sequences and stores them in memory. The transmission/reception point then determines a set of PRTs based on one or more later-received PRT sequence selection parameters. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
