  • Patent number: 11825468
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) receiving a first transmission scheduling resources for a second transmission having a first priority. The UE may determine that one or more symbols of the second transmission are to be unused due to receipt of a cancellation indication or due to identifying a conflict, for example, with higher priority resources. Based on determining that the symbols are to be unused, the UE may determine that the base station will not reschedule the unused resources for another transmission, for example, having the first priority. The UE and the base station may communicate based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 11736172
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may perform, to a first base station and via a first radio frequency (RF) chain associated with a first subscription, a first uplink transmission based at least in part on one or more of an uplink carrier aggregation capability of the UE or an uplink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capability of the UE. The UE may perform, to the first base station or to a second base station, and via a second RF chain associated with a second subscription and configured to operate simultaneously with the first RF chain, a second uplink transmission based at least in part on one or more of the uplink carrier aggregation capability of the UE or the uplink MIMO capability of the UE.

  • Patent number: 11653235
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus where a user equipment (UE) may indicate different physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring capabilities (such as UE capabilities in terms of the number of control channel elements (CCEs), blind decodes (BDs), number of downlink control information (DCI) formats, etc.) per monitoring span or slot. For example, a UE may support a different number of CCEs per slot or a different number of DCIs per monitoring span for different service types (such as a different number of CCEs for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and for ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC)). A UE may indicate different sets of PDCCH monitoring capabilities (such as sets of PDCCH monitoring capabilities for different service types, monitoring spans, slots, etc.). A base station may receive the indication of UE PDCCH monitoring capability information and may configure the UE with one or more monitoring occasions accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11589348
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a mobile station may receive an indication of whether a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) communication is to be punctured in a set of resources in which a second PDSCH communication at least partially overlaps with the first PDSCH communication, or both the first PDSCH communication and the second PDSCH communication are to be transmitted in the set of resources. The mobile station may decode the first PDSCH communication based at least in part on the indication. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Patent number: 11464004
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently limiting a number of blind decoding attempts or control channel elements (CCEs) that a user equipment (UE) is configured to monitor to limit complexity at the UE. When a UE is configured to use blind decoding for monitoring CCEs in multiple spans in a slot for control information from a base station, the UE may be configured to perform dropping of blind decoding candidates or CCEs in a first temporal span in the slot. In other words, the UE may identify a dropping rule to drop CCE monitoring occasions or blind decoding attempts in excess of a maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs per span or a maximum number of blind decoding attempts per span, respectively, and the UE may apply the dropping rule to the first temporal span within the slot.
