  • Patent number: 11929794
    Abstract: Performing user equipment (UE) coordination based beam management may include determining resources for measuring beams and reporting measured beam information. The resources may be configured for a first user equipment (UE) of a plurality of coordinated UEs. The determined resources may be transmitted to the first UE via radio resource control (RRC) or medium access control-control element (MAC CE). Measured beam information received from the first UE for configuring beam sharing between multiple UEs of the plurality of coordinated UEs may be decoded.

  • Patent number: 11929950
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for calculating and compensating for Doppler shift in a high-speed environment. When in a high-speed environment, Doppler shifts on a transmitted radio frequency signal can become extremely large, which may make it difficult or even impossible for a receiving device to accurately decipher the signal. Therefore, embodiments of the present disclosure describe how tracking reference signals can be transmitted from multiple transmission/reception points, and processed by the UE. For example, the TRS transmitted from the TRP can be enhanced to allow for TRS information from two different TRPs. Additionally, or alternatively, a flag can be set within TRS information that identifies it as having originated from either a first TRP or a second TRP. Additionally, the UE can calculate Doppler shift information and report that information back to the base station in a report message, such as an SRS message. In this manner, the base station can precompensate for the Doppler shift.

A terminal device receives from a network device configuration information for configuring a triggering mode. The triggering mode is for triggering activation of a secondary cell of the terminal device and a transmission of a temporary reference signal in the secondary cell. Based on the configured triggering mode, the terminal device receives first triggering information on the activation of the secondary cell and second triggering information on the transmission of the temporary reference signal for performing the activation of the secondary cell. In this way, it is possible to reduce the latency of activation/de-activation procedure for SCG and secondary cells.
