  • Publication number: 20230073645
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit acknowledgment feedback for a combined signal derived from individual downlink signals received on respective radio links, where the acknowledgment feedback is transmitted with a phase shift applied to the transmission. In some cases, the phase shift may indicate which individual downlink signals were unsuccessfully received and decoded on the respective radio links. For example, the acknowledgment feedback message may include acknowledgment feedback for a final decoding of the combined signal on whether the combined signal is successfully received and decoded and side negative acknowledgment information indicating which individual radio links were unsuccessfully received and decoded via the phase shift. The UE may transmit the acknowledgment feedback on a strongest radio link, a subset of the radio links, or on all of the radio links.

  • Publication number: 20230027103
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some communications systems, interference may impede signaling between a base station and a target user equipment (UE) such that a base station may identify a donor UE to relay communications to the target UE. The donor UE may receive a coded data packet from the base station, and may identify a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) scrambling code for the packets addressed to the target UE. In cases where the donor UE identifies that the packet has an RNTI scrambling code associated with the target UE, the donor UE may forward the coded data packet to the target UE base on the RNTI scrambling code. Such early detection of data packets addressed to the target UE may allow for the UE to forward a data packet without fully decoding the packet.

  • Patent number: 11564252
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Interference between random access channel (RACH) transmissions and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) transmissions may be avoided with a RACH occasion forbidden mask and a dynamic indication of availability of downlink retransmission resources. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a RACH configuration and a forbidden mask associated with the RACH configuration. The UE may identify, from a set of random access occasions indicated by the RACH configuration, a subset of allowed random access occasions based on the forbidden mask. The UE may transmit a random access message during at least one allowed random access occasion of the subset. Additionally or alternatively, a base station may determine whether one or more transmissions on a component carrier (CC) were successful, and transmit downlink control information (DCI) indicating whether a set of random access occasions are available on the CC.

  • Patent number: 11546912
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may switch semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) or configured grant (CG) transmissions for a user equipment (UE) across component carriers according to a resource switching pattern to avoid resource conflict with control information on one or more component carriers. The resource switching pattern may have multiple flows spanning different component over a time interval for redundancy. According to some aspects, a base station may transmit a synchronization signal block (SSB) in one of a set of flexible SSB locations or candidate SSB locations, where each of the set of candidate SSB locations is associated with a respective SSB identifier.

  • Patent number: 11516821
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) are provided. In an aspect, the UE receives a downlink communication from a base station, the downlink communication including an update to at least one semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) or configured grant (CG) parameter. The downlink communication also indicates whether to use a first action time or a second action time for the update to take effect. The UE determines the action time for the at least one SPS or CG parameter update to take effect based on the downlink communication. The UE then applies the update to the at least one SPS or CG parameter for communications of the UE beginning at and following the action time.
