  • Publication number: 20240147534
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for mitigation of interference related to full-duplex communications for random access channel (RACH) initial access procedures in shared radio frequency spectrum. A user equipment (UE) may send different RACH preambles subsequent to a channel access procedure, based on whether full-duplex communications or half-duplex communications are being used at a corresponding network entity. The different RACH preambles may include a longer RACH preamble that is used when full-duplex is present, and a shorter RACH preamble that is used when full-duplex is not present. The shorter or longer RACH preamble may be used, for example, based at least in part on an open-loop transmit power for the RACH procedure, a RACH occasion configuration that provides different preamble lengths for different RACH occasions, a full-duplexing type that is being used, or any combinations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20240137195
    Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow for a UE or a base station to handle CG or SPS occasions that fall in a partially full-duplex slot. Initially, the UE receives an indication of a configured grant (CG) or a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration for allocating CG or SPS occasions. Next, the UE determines whether the CG or SPS occasion overlaps in at least one SBFD symbol in a partially full-duplex slot based on the CG or SPS configuration. Afterwards, the UE communicates with a base station according to a modification to the CG or SPS occasion based on the CG or SPS occasion overlapping in at least one SBFD symbol in the partially full-duplex slot. As a result, the UE and the base station may handle instances where a CG or SPS occasion falls in a partially full-duplex slot without identifying an error conditions or simply dropping the CG or SPS occasion.

  • Publication number: 20240137145
    Abstract: MAC-CE based dynamic MCS tables switching is introduced to support addition of higher modulation orders and new constellation types. First, a UE receives a RRC configuration indicating a plurality of MCS tables. Next, the UE receives a MAC CE activating a MCS table among the plurality of MCS tables. Doing so allows MCS tables to be dynamically switched via a MAC-CE based activation/reactivation adaptive to current signal to noise (SNR)/spectral efficiency (SPEF) experienced in a downlink and uplink. Finally, the UE communicates data with a base station using a MCS in the activated MCS table.

  • Publication number: 20240137972
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling that indicates a configuration for subband full duplex (SBFD) slots and a random access channel (RACH) configuration for SBFD slots. The UE may transmit at least one instance of a RACH message in an uplink subband of an SBFD slot in accordance with the RACH configuration. The RACH configuration may enable a UE to repeat a RACH message or transmit a multi-slot RACH message across an SBFD slot and an uplink slot. The RACH configuration may map synchronization signal blocks (SSB)s to RACH occasions in the uplink subband of the SBFD slot. In some examples, the SSBs may be mapped across multiple (e.g., consecutive) SBFD slots. In some cases, the RACH configuration may enable a UE to repeat a RACH message or transmit a multi-slot RACH message across multiple SBFD slots.
