  • Publication number: 20240014979
    Abstract: Aspects relate to validating a pre-configured uplink resource (PUR) occasion. For example, prior to using a PUR occasion for an uplink transmission, a user equipment (UE) may perform a validation procedure for the PUR occasion. A validation procedure for a PUR occasion may involve ensuring that the UE will be able to reliably transmit during the PUR occasion. A base station may send a PUR configuration to the UE that the UE can use for the validation procedure. The PUR configuration may include timing advance (TA) validation information and PUR validation information that depend on at least on capability of the UE.

  • Patent number: 11871410
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support joint allocation for both an uplink message and a downlink message. In some cases, joint downlink control information (DCI) may indicate a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) for a downlink data channel and an uplink data channel. For example, bits of the joint DCI may be configured to indicate TDRA parameters of a downlink data channel (e.g., starting symbol, length value, slot offset, mapping type, timing advance, number of repetitions) and based on the TDRA parameters of the downlink data channel, TDRA parameters for an uplink data channel may be determined by a user equipment (UE) using the joint DCI.

  • Patent number: 11871255
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, otherwise known as a user equipment (UE) may transmit capability information including an indication of a discontinuous monitoring delay period. The UE may receive a message including an indication to adjust monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and monitor for the PDCCH during the discontinuous monitoring delay period. The UE may adjust monitoring for the PDCCH following the discontinuous monitoring delay period during a temporal period based on the received indication to adjust monitoring of the PDCCH.

  • Publication number: 20230413339
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling indicating a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configuration for an uplink message that may indicate for the UE to refrain from including DMRS in at least a first portion of the uplink message based on the DMRS configuration. The UE may encode the uplink message without the DMRS in at least the first portion of the uplink message in accordance with the DMRS configuration. The UE may transmit the uplink message based on encoding the uplink message, and a network entity may receive and decode the uplink message. In some examples, the network entity may receive signaling that includes a set of uplink messages from different UEs. As such, the network entity may decode each, using a respective Reed-Muller (RM) code in accordance with a multi-user decoding algorithm.
