Patent number: 12273888Abstract: Methods and apparatus for wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) power control are described. A method includes receiving a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) list configuration including entries, each including a resource allocation that includes a slot offset value. L1 signaling is received indicating a minimum slot offset value. Downlink control information (DCI) is decoded on a physical downlink control channel in a slot. An index is obtained from the decoded DCI, identifying an entry in the TDRA list. A particular slot offset value identified by the index is retrieved from the TDRA list and compared with the minimum slot offset value. If the particular slot offset value is less than the minimum slot offset value, the entry is invalid. If the particular slot offset value is greater than or equal to the minimum slot offset value, a physical downlink shared channel is received.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2019Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Moon-il Lee, Erdem Bala, Janet A.

Patent number: 12267779Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for addressing power savings signals in wireless communication. A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may monitor for an energy saving signal (ESS) while the WTRU is asleep (e.g., prior to a discontinuous reception (DRX) ON duration that includes one or more search spaces). The WTRU may measure the energy of the ESS. If the ESS is below a threshold, the WTRU fallback to a default operation or continue in a current operating mode (e.g., remain asleep to save power). If the ESS is above a threshold, the ESS may be received using a coverage enhancement (CE) level based on a parameter associated with a search space. The parameter may be the highest aggregation level of the one or more search spaces.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2023Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Moon-il Lee, Janet A.

Publication number: 20250106888Abstract: A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may receive a set of candidate resources, which may be used for transmission. The WTRU may periodically perform CCA on a channel (e.g., before transmitting on the channel). When the channel is determined to be free, the WTRU may determine a resource for transmission from the candidate resources. The resource may be determined based on the time remaining in the time period. For example, when the time remaining in the time period is shorter, the WTRU may determine to transmit on a resource that comprises more frequency resources. The WTRU may determine a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) scheme based on the number of frequency resources. The WTRU may send a transmission on the resource, which may include a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS). The DM-RS may indicate the resource used from transmission to a receiver of the transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Janet A.

Patent number: 12262429Abstract: There may be one or more systems, methods, and/or devices that address a relay wireless communication scenario. For example, in such a scenario, there may be at least three entities, a remote a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may need to communicate with a network node (e.g., gNB) and/or another WTRU that it cannot directly communicate with. This remote WTRU may communicate with a relay WTRU in order to communicate with the ultimate destination (e.g., another WTRU or a network node). The use of a relay may require establishment and configuration of one or more entities involved.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2024Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Martino Freda, Jaya Rao, Tuong Hoang, Tao Deng, Moon Il Lee

Publication number: 20250089094Abstract: A SL wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), configured in mode 1, with SL transmissions on unlicensed spectrum, may receive a SL grant from a gNodeB (gNB) and determine whether the SL grant falls within a COT initiated by another WTRU, based on COT structure information received from SCI transmissions of other WTRUs. If the SL grant falls within the COT initiated by another WTRU, the WTRU may perform a first LBT type to try to share the COT. If the SL grant does not fall within the COT initiated by another WTRU, the WTRU may perform a second LBT type to try to initiate its own COT. If LBT fails for the grant, the WTRU may report a failed LBT to the gNB in UCI.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Applicant: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Martino Freda, Patrick Tooher, Faris Alfarhan, Tao Deng, Tuong Hoang, Moon IL Lee

Publication number: 20250089002Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein for enabling positioning, for example, in unlicensed spectrum. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may monitor for reference signals (e.g., positioning reference signals) in the unlicensed spectrum. The WTRU may fallback to a different positioning configuration. For example, the WTRU may fallback to monitor for reference signals in the unlicensed spectrum within a discovery reference signal window. For example, the WTRU may fallback to monitor for reference signals in a licensed spectrum. The WTRU may determine to fallback to a different positioning configuration, for example, based on whether reference signals are determined to be missing (e.g., consecutive missing reference signals).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2022Publication date: March 13, 2025Applicant: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Aata El Hamss, Fumihiro Hasegawa, Moon-il Lee, Faris Alfarhan, Paul Marinier, Tuong Duc Hoang, Jaya Rao, Janet A.
