  • Publication number: 20230076897
    Abstract: Systems and methods for PDCCH reliability are disclosed. The PDCCH may be improved by introducing multi-TRP, multi-beam or repeated, PDCCH transmission and reception. In some methods and systems, PDCCH is transmitted on multiple CORESETs (Control Resource Set), where each CORESET is associated with a TCI state. In some cases, it is beneficial if a UE can determine that multiple received DCIs are duplicates, in order not to duplicate the corresponding UE action. Methods and systems for DCI duplication determination are disclosed. In some methods and systems, PDCCH is transmitted in a single CORESET, where the CORESET is associated with multiple TCI states. Various ways to apply the different TCI states to different disjoint frequency parts of the CORESET or the whole CORESET are proposed. Furthermore, the TCI state used for PDCCH may be used for subsequent PDSCH reception as well, in some cases.

  • Publication number: 20200382189
    Abstract: Multiple mobility sets are maintained for nodes of radio networks. The sets comprise information such as: transmit and receive point identities; cell identities; beam identities; frequency channels; channel bandwidth; and black lists. The sets may be defined at different levels, such as network and physical (PHY) level. A network mobility set, e.g., a new-radio (NR) mobility set may, be determined by the gNB, the cell, the UE, or another device. Multiple radio access network nodes and UEs may exchange mobility set information to achieve a distributed mobility solution. A UE may monitor its orientation relative to a TRP, e.g., via use of an onboard MEMS gyroscope, and alter its beamforming parameters in response to changes in orientation and/or changes in TRP connection strength. Cell selection and reselection for beam based networks may use Single Frequency Network (SFN) broadcast of initial access signals without beam sweeping.

  • Publication number: 20090316665
    Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for calculating a target connection frame number (CFN) for a data frame in wireless communications. An update to an offset between the CFN and a radio access network frame number is computed. A target CFN variable is incremented in response to a received timer signal. The value of an update variable is checked to determine whether a new value of the offset has been received since a previous update to the offset. A new target CFN is calculated using a current target CFN and the new value of the offset on a condition that the new value of the offset has been received. The current target CFN is set equal to the new target CFN.

  • Patent number: 7583653
    Abstract: A method for transmitting a data frame in a wireless communication system begins by creating a time of arrival (TOA) window, including a window start (WS) and a window end (WE). The TOA of the data frame at the air interface for transmission is determined, and further action is taken depending upon when the data frame arrives relative to the TOA window. The data frame is buffered if the TOA is before the WS. The data frame is transmitted if the TOA is within the TOA window. The data frame is discarded if the TOA is after the WE.

  • Publication number: 20090116442
    Abstract: In a wireless communication system using a reference channel used for error rate measurement and associated with a plurality of transport channels multiplexed on a coded composite transport channel (CCTrCH), a method is employed for reselection of the reference channel from favorable candidate transport channels. A channel is initially selected from the plurality of multiplexed channels as the reference channel. Channels are monitored based on quantitative data content criteria to determine whether an ON or OFF state exists. A different channel is selected from the plurality of multiplexed channels as the reselected RTrCH when a better candidate transport channel in the ON state becomes available, or when the monitored RTrCH reflects an OFF state.
