  • Patent number: 12156054
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a UE may monitor a set of operational conditions associated with the UE. Based on the monitoring, the UE may transmit a request for an indication identifying a PDCCH monitoring location associated with receiving a next DCI communication. A base station may receive the request and determines whether to grant the request. Based on the determination, the base station may selectively transmit the indication to the UE. The UE may monitor in the PDCCH monitoring location if the indication is received in response to the request.

  • Publication number: 20240365304
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may monitor for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) transmissions and generate SPS hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) bits scheduled for transmission to the base station in a set of uplink symbols. However, a collision may occur during transmission if a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) carrying the SPS HARQ bits overlaps with downlink symbols. The UE may defer all SPS HARQ bits from collided PUCCHs to a next available PUCCH resource. In some examples, the UE may distribute deferred HARQ bits across multiple available PUCCH resources. The UE may distribute the deferred HARQ bits evenly across the next available PUCCH resources, or the UE may distribute the deferred HARQ bits unevenly according to a pattern. In some examples, the base station may indicate (e.g., via a downlink control information (DCI) message) a deferment pattern to the UE.

  • Publication number: 20240357506
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for determining application time for a path loss reference signal (PL RS) by a user equipment (UE). A method that may be performed by a UE includes receiving an indication of activation of a PL RS. The method further includes transmitting an acknowledgement for the indication. The method further includes measuring samples of the PL RS for a number of samples after transmitting the acknowledgement prior to utilizing the measured samples of the PL RS for uplink power control. The method further includes utilizing the measured samples of the PL RS for uplink power control after measuring at least the number of samples of the PL RS. The number of samples varies based on one or more factors.

  • Publication number: 20240323946
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support adaptive multi-component carrier scheduling for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions. In some aspects, a method of wireless communication includes a user equipment (UE) receiving from a base station, a downlink control information configured to schedule a PUSCH transmission to the base station using a first number of component carriers. The UE may transmit to the base station a portion of the PUSCH transmission via the first number of component carriers. The UE may then transmit, to the base station, the remaining portion of the PUSCH transmission using a second number of component carriers based on an uplink packet delay budget (PDB) remaining after transmitting the portion of the PUSCH transmission via the first number of component carriers. In some aspects, the second number of component carriers is greater than the first number of component carriers.

  • Publication number: 20240306139
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) are described. A UE may receive control signaling configuring periodic resources for receiving semi-persistent scheduled downlink transmissions and may receive a control message indicating a change to a transmission time interval format. The UE may identify a conflict for a symbol period between uplink transmission of feedback for a first semi-persistent scheduled downlink transmission and downlink reception based on the change to the transmission time interval format. The UE may then transmit, in an uplink shared channel resource of the transmission time interval format that differs from the symbol period, an uplink message including uplink data multiplexed with the feedback based on the conflict.
