  • Patent number: 11095353
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device, such as a base station and/or a user equipment (UE), may select a first resolution for a first analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog conversion process associated with a first wireless communication. The wireless device may determine that the first wireless communication is performed according to the first resolution. The wireless device may select, based at least in part on the determining, a second resolution for a second analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog conversion process associated with a second wireless communication, the first resolution being a lower resolution than the second resolution.

  • Publication number: 20210176626
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a multi-mode capability for communications by the UE within a frequency band, such that that UE may be capable of operating in any one of a half duplex time division duplex (TDD) mode and a full duplex frequency division duplex (FDD) mode within the frequency band. The UE may then transmit an indication of the multi-mode capability to a base station. The UE may receive, from the base station and responsive to the transmission of the indication, a communication format configuration that includes a partitioning between TDD mode communications and FDD mode communications for the frequency band.

  • Publication number: 20210152418
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify one or more radio frequency (RF) spectrum bands for full-duplex communications, and may signal an indication of the UE's capability to support full-duplex communications for each RF spectrum band. The UE may further receive one or more configurations for full-duplex communications, which, in some examples, may be based on the UE's indicated capabilities. As an example, the UE may identify a guard band configuration for full-duplex communications, where the guard band configuration may be based on one or more aspects of resources used for the full-duplex communications. In other cases, the UE may identify a transmission hopping or antenna switching configuration for full-duplex communications. In any case, the UE may communicate with a base station in accordance with the one or more configurations and the UE's capabilities.

  • Publication number: 20210144657
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be capable of operating according to a first transmission efficiency operating mode and a second transmission efficiency operating mode that is less power efficient than the first transmission efficiency operating mode. The first transmission efficiency operating mode may be associated with a first undesired emission level that is greater than a second undesired emission level associated with the second transmission efficiency operating mode. The UE may select to operate in one of the two transmission efficiency operating modes based on one or more communication parameters (e.g., indicated by control signaling received from a base station). For example, the UE may select to operate in the first transmission efficiency operating mode based on determining that one or more of the communication parameters satisfies at least one parameter criterion for operating in the first transmission efficiency operating mode.

  • Publication number: 20210144648
    Abstract: Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently transmitting uplink signals to a base station using shared antennas associated with different power classes. A first device may be in communications with a base station using local antennas and may identify a second device having auxiliary antennas available for transmitting uplink signals to the base station. The local and auxiliary antennas may be associated with different power classes, and the first device may transmit a message to a base station indicating that the first device is capable of transmitting using antennas associated with different power classes. The first device may then receive configurations from a base station of different transmit powers to transmit on the antennas associated with the different power classes, and the first device may transmit uplink signals to the base station in accordance with the different transmit power configurations.

  • Publication number: 20210136696
    Abstract: During an uplink TDD slot, an UL UE transmits an UL signal that occupies a slot frequency range. Similarly, during a DL TDD slot, a DL UE receives a DL signal that occupies the slot frequency range. But during an SBFD slot, a UL UE transmits a UL signal that occupies only a first sub-band of the slot frequency range. Similarly, a DL UE receives a DL signal during an SBFD slot that occupies only a second sub-band of the slot frequency range. The second sub-band is distinct from the first sub-band. The DL UE may thus mitigate UE-to-UE interference during an SBFD slot by filtering the DL signal to substantially block the second sub-band from being received at the DL UE.

  • Publication number: 20210119746
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration signal from a network entity, the configuration signal indicating a configuration for a first positioning reference signal. The UE may determine one or more properties associated with the first positioning reference signal based on the configuration signal. The UE may bypass at least one portion of a transmit chain associated with a scheduled transmission of the first positioning reference signal or a receive chain associated with a scheduled reception of a second positioning reference signal. The UE may then activate, after an end of the transmission or the reception, the at least one portion of the transmit chain associated with the scheduled transmission of the first positioning reference signal or the receive chain associated with a scheduled reception of the second positioning reference signal.

  • Patent number: 10931498
    Abstract: Phase variations between a transmitter (TX) waveform and a receiver (RX) waveform produced by a TX Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) and a RX PLL, respectively, is a source of error in processing delay calibration used, e.g., in Round Trip Time (RTT) estimation. While a TX waveform and a RX waveform have a constant phase delay while in steady state conditions, during transient times, e.g., at start up or reset, the phase delay may vary by as much as ±180°, which at baseband frequencies of 50 MHz, introduces a random delay variations of as much as ±10 nsec, which is undesirable for fine position estimation using RTT. The phase delay variation between the TX waveform and RX waveform may be reduced or eliminated using a phase correction signal generated using the output signals of the TX PLL and RX PLL.
