  • Patent number: 11418302
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for communicating an uplink grant and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) trigger. A wireless device may identify a pending collision for a slot of a carrier between a CSI-RS and uplink data. The wireless device may determine a communication configuration for the CSI-RS and the uplink data such that no collision occurs. The determined communication configuration for the CSI-RS may include delaying one of the colliding signals, transmitting only one of the colliding signals and suppressing the other, or reconfiguring the slot such that both signals can be transmitted successfully. Additionally, the UE and the base station may determine a CSI reporting configuration based on the determined communication configuration.

  • Patent number: 11411678
    Abstract: Wireless devices may use polar codes for encoding transmissions and may support combining transmissions to improve decoding reliability (e.g., by achieving chase combining and incremental redundancy (IR) gains). For example, an encoding device may puncture a set of mother code bits using different puncturing patterns to obtain different redundancy versions for a first transmission and a re-transmission. Each puncturing pattern may correspond to an equivalent decoding performance. In some cases, to obtain equivalent puncture sets, the encoding device may perform punctured index manipulation procedures on an initial puncturing pattern. A punctured index manipulation procedure may involve switching a binary state for a binary bit at a same binary bit index for each puncture index in a puncturing pattern. A device may receive the transmissions generated using the equivalent puncture sets and may combine the information for improved decoding reliability.

  • Patent number: 11394399
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device, such as a base station or a user equipment (UE), may generate a first set of encoded bits using a polar code. The transmitting device may transmit the first set of encoded bits to a receiving device, but the receiving device may unsuccessfully receive the transmission. The transmitting device may prepare a retransmission by generating a second set of encoded bits. In some cases, the transmitting device may copy information bits from the first transmission to polarized channels when generating the polar code for the retransmission. The transmitting device may copy information bits based on how the information bits were assigned for the first transmission as well as the block length. The transmitting device may copy information bits such that the retransmission is self-decodable.

  • Patent number: 11342979
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In wireless systems supporting multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmissions, devices may implement beam-forming to improve reliability of communications. A user equipment (UE) may select a set of beams, and corresponding beam indices, for communication based on reference signals received from a base station. The UE may determine values corresponding to each of the beam indices using a scalable set of tables. For example, the UE may select a subset of the tables based on the number of selected beams, and may determine the values based on these tables. In this way, the UE may efficiently store sets of tables for multiple different configurations. The UE may sum the corresponding values to obtain a combination index value, and may transmit the combination index value to the base station. The base station may determine the selected beams based on this combination index value.
