  • Patent number: 12294429
    Abstract: A UE may determine a number of antenna ports associated with a frequency band that includes one or more CCs. The determined number of antenna ports may be based on a plurality of UL Tx chains for the one or more CCs/frequency band. The UE may switch from a first UL Tx chain to a second UL Tx chain, at least one of which may be associated with the one or more CCs/frequency band. The number of antenna ports may correspond to a maximum number of antenna ports of an individual CC of the one or more CCs, or to a sum of antenna ports of the one or more CCs. For the latter, the number of antenna ports may be limited to an available number of UE antenna ports when the sum of antenna ports is greater than the available number of UE antenna ports.

  • Publication number: 20250133550
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring for communications on noncontiguous carriers of a single cell. By combining multiple noncontiguous carriers into a single cell, broadcast overhead can be reduced and cell management (i.e., only one cell) can be simplified. For example, a network entity may transmit to a user equipment (UE) configuration information that configures the UE for communications on noncontiguous carriers of a single cell. The network entity and the UE may then communicate on the noncontiguous carriers in accordance with the configuration information.

  • Patent number: 12279264
    Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow a UE to apply power-efficient UCI multiplexing rules accounting for situations in which CCs of overlapping PUCCH and PUSCH are in different carrier groups during inter-band CA to result in improved transmission performance. The UE transmits UCI in a PUCCH in a first CC in response to the PUCCH overlapping in time with a PUSCH in a second CC and the first CC being associated with a different carrier group than the second CC. Alternatively, the UE transmits UCI in the PUSCH in the second CC in response to the PUCCH overlapping in time with the PUSCH and the first CC being associated with a same carrier group as the second CC. Furthermore, the UE may apply a diversity scheme for UCI transmissions to achieve improved reliability of UCI feedback. The UE may also indicate which carrier includes UCI based on different DMRS configurations.
