  • Publication number: 20240380449
    Abstract: Techniques described herein include solutions for utilizing dual port synchronization signal block (SSB) transmissions for multiple receive (Rx) beam selection. In some aspects, a base station transmits a first SSB with a first polarization on a first antenna port, and transmits a second SSB with a second polarization on a second antenna port. The first and second SSBs may be transmitted, for example, using a first transmission reception point (TRP). A user equipment (UE) receives the first and second SSBs, and identifies one or more optimal Rx beams for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication based on the first and second SSBs.

  • Publication number: 20240380527
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) associated with a wireless communication system is disclosed. The UE comprises a processor configured to receive a first downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The first DCI includes a non-numerical (NN) value of K1 for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-ACK feedback. The processor is further configured to determine a first priority class associated with the first PDSCH, and determine K1 value and priority class associated with one or more subsequent PDSCH received from the base station, until a selected PDSCH having a numerical K1 value and a same priority class as the first priority class is identified. Further, the processor is configured to provide HARQ feedback associated with the first PDSCH using a PUCCH/PUSCH occasion indicated by a second DCI scheduling the selected PDSCH.

  • Patent number: 12144052
    Abstract: Triggering an uplink (UL) gap at a base station may include decoding a user equipment (UE) UL gap capability report received from a UE. A radio resource control (RRC) UL gap configuration for transmission to the UE may be encoded. The RRC UL gap configuration may include configuration information associated with at least one of a periodicity, offset, or length. Measurement information received from the UE may be decoded. The measurement information may include at least one of a power headroom value, a PCMAX,f,c value, or a P value. Based on the power headroom value, the PCMAX,f,c value, or the P value, the UL gap configuration may be activated by encoding a medium access control (MAC) control element (MAC CE) for transmission to the UE.
