Publication number: 20250106842Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may account for the application of orthogonal cover coding (OCC) to an uplink transmission when determining the transport block size (TBS) for the uplink transmission. OCC may be used to multiplex transmissions from multiple UEs and may involve spreading information. Described techniques may involve accounting for the spreading of information bits when determining the TBS for the uplink transmission to which OCC is applied. Sub-physical resource block (sub-PRB) frequency allocations may be provided for uplink transmissions. The UE may account for the allocated quantity of sub-carriers when determining the quantity of information bits. To indicate a sub-PRB, the UE may be configured to reinterpret one or more fields of an existing downlink control information (DCI) format as indicating the allocated sub-carriers, or a new DCI format may be configured that includes fields for indicating a sub-PRB allocation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Liangping MA, Xiao Feng WANG, Alberto RICO ALVARINO, Ayan SENGUPTA, Wanshi CHEN, Syed Hashim Ali SHAH

Patent number: 12262340Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may obtain updated location information, and determine a time difference between a previous communication with a network and a scheduled uplink transmission. Based on the determined time difference, the UE may determine a timing advance (TA) component of a TA value to apply for the uplink transmission, and transmit an uplink message in the uplink transmission according to the determined TA value and the location information. In some examples, the time difference may be based on a first duration between the uplink transmission and a previous uplink transmission, a second duration between the uplink transmission and a previous TA command received from the network, or both. In some examples, the determined TA value may be based on additional parameters, such as an autonomous adjustment step, an aggregate adjustment rate, a scaling factor, or any combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2022Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Lianghai Ji, Changhwan Park, Mehmet Izzet Gurelli, Liangping Ma, Venkatraman Rajagopalan, Mohamad Sayed Hassan, Qiang Wu, Jun Ma, Huilin Xu, Weimin Duan, Karthik Anantha Swamy, Alexander Dorosenco, Onur Senel, Nitzan Ofer, Yan Wang

Patent number: 12224859Abstract: Systems, methods and instrumentalities are disclosed for decoding data. For example, it may be determined, in a current slot, whether data received in a previous slot is decoded successfully. The data received in the previous slot may be included in a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). If the data received in the previous slot is not decoded successfully, preemptive multiplexing information may be detected in a first search space. The data received in the previous slot may be decoded, for example, using detected preemptive multiplexing information. The preemptive multiplexing information may be of a current slot. The preemptive multiplexing information may be comprised in a first DCI. A second search space of the current slot may be searched. For example, the second search space may be searched for a second DCI. The first DCI and the second DCI may be different.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2023Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Liangping Ma, Shahrokh Nayeb Nazar, Oghenekome Oteri, Seyed Mohsen Hosseinian, Mahmoud Taherzadeh Boroujeni, Frank La Sita
