  • Publication number: 20230208488
    Abstract: A base station or other network component (next generation NodeB (gNB)) can operate to transmit a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for channel state information (CSI) feedback. The CSI feedback can be received as corresponding to one or more frequency parts at hierarchical precoding levels of a frequency band based on a hierarchical precoding scheme in response to providing the CSI-RS.

  • Publication number: 20230156502
    Abstract: An approach is described for a user equipment (UE) to receive a channel state information (CSI) reporting configuration message from a source device of a first cell and receive a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) from a second cell via the source device. The UE determines a first number of CSI-RS resources of a first time slot duration corresponding to the first cell, a second number of CSI-RS resources of a second time slot duration corresponding to the second cell, an overall time slot duration based on the first and the second time slot duration, an overall number of CSI-RS resources of the overall time slot duration based at least on the first and the second number of CSI-RS resource, generates a capability report at least based on the overall number of CSI-RS resource, and transmits the capability report to the source device.

  • Publication number: 20230156753
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) transmits concurrent channel state information (CSI) processing capability information to a base station. The capability information can take various forms, and is intended to constrain the base station in the types of CSI requests that can be made to the UE. For example, the UE may indicate different CSI processing capabilities for intra-CC and inter-CC cases and/or for different codebook types. The UE may also specify supported combinations of codebook types for concurrent CSI reporting. The UE may also specify maximum resources or weighting factors for different codebook types. The UE may further restrict the rank information it provides and use a priority rule for “dropping” CSI report data due to payload size restrictions. The base station may direct, or the UE may implement, improved utilization of CSI resources that are shared for multiple concurrent CSI reports. Minimum time requirements for CSI reporting may also be relaxed.

  • Patent number: 11653311
    Abstract: A method for operating user equipment (UE) includes generating, by the UE, a transmit precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) list including one or more TPMIs selected from a set of available TPMIs stored at a base station (BS). Data indicative of the TPMI list is transmitted to the BS. An index of the TPMI list is transmitted to the BS. Downlink control information (DCI) is received from the BS including an indication of at least one TPMI from the TPMI list based on the index. Uplink data is transmitted to the BS on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using the at least one TPMI.

  • Publication number: 20230067545
    Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to perform CSI-reporting. In an example, a BWP includes “M” subbands and is configured to the UE. The UE can process “Kc” CSI-RS samples to generate “M” subband CSI reports, where “Kc>M.” The UE determines what number of CSI-RS samples to use per subband based on the channel information of the BWP, where this number can vary between the subbands.

  • Publication number: 20230042538
    Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing capability signaling design for 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) release 15 (Rel-15) and/or release 16 (Rel-16) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) enhancement. For example, systems and methods are provided implementing designs for New Radio (NR) MIMO channel state information (CSI) for a small bandwidth part (BWP) and/or a small number of subbands. For example, some aspects relate to a user equipment (UE) including a transceiver configured to communicate with a base station and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor receives, from the base station, a CSI reporting configuration message. The processor determines, using the CSI reporting configuration message, that a number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) of a BWP associated with the CSI reporting configuration message is less than a threshold number. The processor also generates and transmits a CSI report for the BWP.

Based on a given PDSCH, embodiments discussed herein can communicate feedback (e.g., Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) feedback, Channel State Information (CSI) feedback) that indicates an amount of additional information that can allow a User Equipment (UE) to successfully decode the PDSCH. In some embodiments, the feedback can indicate a requested Redundancy Version (RV) sequence that can allow the UE to successfully decode the PDSCH. In other embodiments, the feedback can indicate the amount of additional information, based on which a receiving Base Station (BS) can select a RV sequence.

    Abstract: Apparatuses for transmitting and receiving a signal in a communication system are provided. An apparatus of a receive device includes a receiver configured to receive, from a transmit device, a signal comprising remaining bits of parity bits after puncturing, wherein the parity bits are obtained by adding at least one shortened bit to information bits to obtain input bits for an encoding, if a number of the information bits is less than a number of the input bits for the encoding; and a hardware processor configured to determine a number of puncture bits for the parity bits, generate an output signal by adding at least one value corresponding to the number of the puncture bits to the signal, and decode the output signal.

    Abstract: A base station and wireless communication (UE) may perform type II CSI-RS port selection based at least on partial reciprocity between an uplink path and a downlink path between the base station and the UE. The base station may identify dominant signal paths between the base station and the UE, based on measurements performed during uplink transmissions, and may transmit, to the UE, corresponding information indicative of CSI measurement and reporting configuration that may include a single measurement resource or multiple measurement resources. Each measurement resource may include multiple-port CSI-RS ports. The UE may indicate, to the base station, selection of a measurement resource when multiple measurement resources are configured, and may also report layer independent or layer common selection of a subset of CSI-RS ports included in the indicated single measurement resource or multiple measurement resources.

  • Patent number: 11152994
    Abstract: The systems, methods, and apparatuses can receive one or more communication signals traversing through a communication channel. The systems, methods, and apparatuses can estimate one or more known parameters, characteristics, and/or attributes of the communication channel, for example, scattering, fading, and/or power decay over distance, through a process referred to as channel estimation. The systems, methods, and apparatuses can develop various channel coefficients, for example, amplitudes and/or phases, describing the channel response of the communication channel at discrete intervals of time, also referred to as taps. The systems, methods, and apparatuses can assign taps to various priorities and, thereafter, utilize these priorities to selectively include their corresponding channel coefficients in a CSI report or exclude their corresponding channel coefficients from the CSI report.
