Patent number: 11711768Abstract: A method and apparatus for power control for wireless transmissions are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may reduce transmission power to channels for carrier aggregation such that a total transmit power of the WTRU is smaller than or equal to a maximum transmission power level in all symbols of a transmission. Further, transmission power may be allocated to the channels for carrier aggregation based on priority. Also, transmission power may be allocated to a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) with uplink control information over a PUSCH without uplink control information. Moreover, transmission power may be allocated to a PUCCH or a PUSCH over a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission. Additionally, the WTRU may transmit data over one or more channels, of the channels for carrier aggregation, at the respective transmission power allocated to the one or more channels.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2020Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: John W.

Patent number: 11419063Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is configured to receive a WTRU-specific configuration of WTRU-specific sounding reference signal (SRS) subframes for performing SRS transmissions. The WTRU is configured to receive a trigger in a subframe to transmit a first SRS. The WTRU is configured to select a first subframe. The WTRU is configured to determine that a maximum power would be exceeded in a symbol in the selected first subframe. The WTRU is configured to, on a condition that transmission of at least one other SRS would at least partially overlap in the symbol in the selected first subframe, scale transmission powers of the first SRS and the at least one other SRS equally to comply with the maximum power. The WTRU is configured to transmit, in accordance with the scaled transmission powers, the first SRS in the selected subframe and the at least one other SRS.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Janet A.

Publication number: 20220022163Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for a low cost machine-type-communication (LC-MTC) wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) to enhance coverage. An example method for physical broadcast channel (PBCH) enhancement includes receiving system information on an enhanced PBCH (ePBCH). The ePBCH is located in a set of radio frames which is a subset of available radio frames, where the subset includes fewer than all the available radio frames. The ePBCH is received in at least one radio frame of the set of radio frames. An example method for physical random access channel (PRACH) enhancement includes receiving configuration of legacy PRACH resources and enhanced PRACH (ePRACH) resources. The WTRU selects one of legacy PRACH resources or ePRACH resources based on a coverage capability. Another example method for PRACH enhancement includes receiving configuration of ePRACH resources. The ePRACH resources include multiple ePRACH resource types, each ePRACH resource type being associated with a coverage capability.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2021Publication date: January 20, 2022Inventors: Moon-il Lee, Janet A.

Publication number: 20210014798Abstract: A method for reporting power headroom is disclosed. Power headroom may be reported across all carriers (wideband), for a specific carrier, or for a carrier group. The formula used to calculate the power headroom depends on whether the carrier (or a carrier in the carrier group) has a valid uplink grant. If the carrier or carrier group does not have a valid uplink grant, the power headroom may be calculated based on a reference grant. The power headroom is calculated by a wireless transmit/receive unit and is reported to an eNodeB.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2020Publication date: January 14, 2021Applicant: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Guodong Zhang, Erdem Bala, Philip J.

Patent number: 10869278Abstract: A method and apparatus for power control for wireless transmissions are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may determine a first transmit power for a first physical channel for a first serving cell in a first timing advanced group (TAG) and a second transmit power for a second physical channel for a second serving cell in a second TAG. The first TAG may be associated with a first timing advance value and the second TAG may be associated with a second timing advance value. The WTRU may determine a WTRU configured maximum output power (PC MAX) for an overlapping portion, which may be a portion of a transmission of the first channel in a first slot that overlaps in time with a portion of a transmission of the second channel in a next slot. The WTRU may adjust at least one of the first physical channel and the second physical channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: John W.
