  • Publication number: 20240031983
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed to configure different paging occasions for enhanced UEs that support, and for legacy UEs that do not support, the enhanced feature of the paging early indication (PEI) in paging procedure for 5G/LTE networks. Different paging occasions for the enhanced and legacy UEs may be configured by providing separate paging occasion parameters for the enhanced and legacy UEs. The network may use the separate paging parameters to design the PEI to save signaling overhead. The network may reuse paging format for the paging PDCCH to serve as the PEI that is transmitted in advance of the paging occasions for the enhanced UEs, or may keep legacy paging PDCCH at its current locations to serve as the PEI for the enhanced UEs. A scheduling offset may be configured to separate in time the paging PDCCH serving as the PEI and the paging PDSCH containing the paging message.

  • Publication number: 20240031839
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for a UE to perform measurements of measurement resources transmitted by a network when the UE is configured with multiple concurrent measurement gap patterns (MGPs). The measurement resources may be carried on multiple carrier frequencies. The UE may receive measurement resource configuration parameters identifying time and frequency locations of the measurement resources transmitted on the multiple carrier frequencies. The UE may receive measurement gap configuration parameters for multiple concurrent MGPs specifying measurement intervals that may be used to perform the measurements. The UE may determine a linkage between the measurement resources on a carrier frequency and one of the concurrent MGPs so that the UE may independently measure the measurement resources received on the multiple carrier frequencies using their respectively linked MGPs.

  • Publication number: 20240032075
    Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing inter-UE coordination regarding reserved resources of a sidelink (SL) resource pool are described herein. A first user equipment (UE) may identify that a first SL resource pool on a first radio access technology (RAT) overlaps with a second SL resource pool on a second RAT, sense for reservation signaling on the second SL resource pool to determine reserved resources on the second SL resource pool, and transmit resource reservation information indicating those reserved resources on SL on the first RAT. A second UE may receive the resource reservation information on the SL, identify, within the first SL resource pool, corresponding resources that overlap with the reserved resources of the second SL resource pool, select, from the first SL resource pool, transmission resources to use for a SL transmission by prioritizing resources other than the corresponding resources; and perform the SL transmission using those transmission resources.

  • Publication number: 20240032030
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebooks to as part of acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) signaling regarding multiple physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions (also termed “multi-PDSCH”) scheduled by a single downlink control information (DCI) corresponding to multiple candidate PDSCH monitoring occasions are discussed herein. Rate matching indicators for one, multiple, or all of the PDSCHs of a scheduled multi-PDSCH are discussed. Effects of invalid symbol signaling, where one or more resources corresponding to a candidate PDSCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the DCI has been indicated for uplink (UL) use or not for DL use by a base station, are discussed. Effects of a bandwidth part change (in UL or downlink (DL)) occurring near or during the DCI, the multi-PDSCH, and a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) containing the ACK/NACK signaling (e.g.

    Abstract: Systems and methods provide channel state information (CSI) measurement based on measuring a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission. A UE may determine the DMRS for the PDSCH transmission with frequency hopping, and measure the DMRS for the PDSCH transmission to determine a CSI measurement. The UE may then report the CSI measurement to a base station.
