Patent number: 11979760Abstract: A user equipment (UE) monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in multiple component carriers (CC). The UE determines if the UE is operating in carrier aggregation (CA) mode having a first CC in a first frequency band and a second CC in a second frequency band. When the UE is operating in CA with a first CC in the first frequency band and the second CC in the second frequency band, the UE determines a span pattern for PDCCH symbols being received on the first and second CC and selects a PDCCH monitoring type based on, at least, the span pattern. A UE also determines if a first CC and a second CC of a CA combination are collocated and selects a PDCCH monitoring type based on, at least, the determination of whether the first and second CC are collocated.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2020Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Weidong Yang, Amir Farajidana, Chunhai Yao, Chunxuan Ye, Dawei Zhang, Haitong Sun, Hong He, Jie Cui, Keith W.

Publication number: 20240147423Abstract: This disclosure provides details of sequence-based WUS design and signaling, also DCI-based WUS design which also serves as scheduling DCI. For sequence-based WUS there are two variants. A first is based on CSI-RS, that is relatively wide band so the sequence occupies wider band compared to SSB transmission. The second is more akin to the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) type of sequence in that it occupies a narrower band over the entire bandwidth.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Huaning NIU, Chunhai YAO, Chunxuan YE, Dawei ZHANG, Haitong SUN, Hong HE, Jie CUI, Manasa RAGHAVAN, Oghenekome OTERI, Seyed Ali Akbar FAKOORIAN, Sigen YE, Wei ZENG, Weidong YANG, Yang TANG, Yushu ZHANG

Patent number: 11962520Abstract: Embodiments disclosed relate to apparatuses, systems, and methods for improved handling of phase noise (PN) in millimeter wave (MMW or mmWave) communications in a wireless communication system, such as 5G NR. When severe phase noise is present in a communication link, the link performance can be substantially degraded. Thus, it would be desirable to utilize techniques to compensate for phase noise in mmWave communications. In Rel-15, a Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PT-RS or PTRS) was specified for both downlink and uplink communications, specifically for Cyclic Prefix-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM) and Discrete Fourier Transform spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). However, prior art approaches to PTRS using block-based pilot allocation schemes required complicated receiver processing.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Weidong Yang, Oghenekome Oteri, Haitong Sun, Chunhai Yao, Yushu Zhang, Dawei Zhang, Chunxuan Ye, Wei Zeng, Hong He, Sigen Ye, Jie Cui, Yang Tang
