  • Patent number: 11172483
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe determining an uplink channel raster for determining frequency location of an uplink channel over which to transmit uplink communications to a base station. Uplink communications can be transmitted to the base station over the uplink channel. The uplink channel raster can be shifted, in frequency, with respect to a legacy uplink channel raster of a legacy communication technology to facilitate coexistence, in an uplink carrier, of the uplink channel and one or more uplink channels of the legacy communication technology.

  • Patent number: 11121794
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide for the transmission of various synchronization signals with variable periodicity. For synchronization signals with long periodicity, in some aspects of the disclosure, the synchronization signals may be transmitted as single-frequency-network (SFN) synchronization signals and/or the synchronization signals may be repeated a number (N) of times within a synchronization burst to reduce user equipment (UE) search latency and improve UE measurement accuracy. In some examples, the synchronization signals may be repeated within a synchronization burst using a repetition pattern that may be configurable based on the periodicity of transmission or fixed for one or more periodicities of transmission.

  • Publication number: 20210105124
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A device—such as a base station or user equipment (UE)—may transmit a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) including signaling information in addition to channel estimation information. To improve reception of the DMRS signaling information, the transmitting device may employ data protection techniques to the signaling information and modify a data payload transmitted in the physical data channel associated with the DMRS. In one aspect, the transmitting device may modify cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits in the payload to include verification for the signaling information. In another aspect, the transmitting device may determine a scrambling code based on the signaling information, and may scramble the payload based on the scrambling code.
