  • Patent number: 12262378
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support sub-slot based Type-1 hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback codebook generation. In aspects, techniques are provided for generating a set of candidate physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception occasions for an active bandwidth part (BWP) of a downlink (DL) serving cell. In aspects, a user equipment (UE) obtains a set of UL sub-slots based, at least in part, on a set of K1 values, and then determines, for each UL sub-slot in the set of UL sub-slots, whether the UL sub-slots satisfy a predetermined overlapping condition with a current DL slot. A PDSCH reception occasions set is generated based, at least in part, on a set of time domain resource allocation (TDRA) candidates of the current DL slot and a determination that a current UL sub-slot satisfies the predetermined overlapping condition with the current DL slot.

  • Publication number: 20250088316
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor a first slot for a semi persistent scheduled (SPS) transmission on a first serving cell of multiple serving cells in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group. The UE may be configured to transmit feedback information for the SPS transmission in a target slot. The UE may select either the target slot or a subsequent second slot for transmission of the feedback information based on an availability of uplink resources on the multiple serving cells in the target slot. The UE may transmit the feedback information to a base station in the target slot or the subsequent second slot based on the selection. The described techniques may enable the UE to transmit the feedback information with reduced latency, among other benefits.

  • Patent number: 12160820
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some systems, a network entity may adjust a backoff power level for communications by the network entity in a first cell supported by the network entity. The network entity may transmit signaling that indicates an estimated level of interference in a second cell supported by a neighboring network entity based on the adjusted backoff power level. The network entity may receive a feedback message from the neighboring network entity that indicates downlink interference measurements by one or more UEs operating within the second cell. In some examples, the feedback message may indicate a difference in interference measurements obtained by the UEs before and after the backoff power level is adjusted by the network entity. The network entity may further adjust or maintain the backoff power level based on the feedback received from the neighboring network entity.
