Abstract: It is desired to try to reduce power consumption in a transmit-and-receive point (TRP) in a wireless network. In some embodiments, to try to reduce overall power consumption, multiple (e.g. two) sets of radio frequency (RF) components are utilized by a TRP, one set having lower power consumption than the other set(s), and switching between the different sets during operation. For example, a TRP may include a first radio frequency unit (RFU) and a second RFU. The second RFU is designed to have higher power consumption than the first RFU. During operation, the TRP uses the second RFU to perform wireless communication in response to a trigger, and otherwise uses the first RFU to perform wireless communication.

Source data of a source UE that is to be transmitted via uplink cooperative transmission by multiple UEs, is transmitted to at least one cooperative UE over an SL. The source data is associated with an identifier for identifying the UE to the network equipment as a source of the source data. The multiple UEs transmit the source data and the identifier in an uplink direction to the network equipment. The network equipment receives the source data from the multiple UEs in a cooperative transmission such as cooperative MIMO transmission, and obtains the identifier for identifying the source UE as the source of the source data.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure enable the determination of beamforming information and channel information for communication between a transmitter and receiver by using a propagation path map. The propagation path map may provide an association between a location of the receiver and channel characteristics between the transmitter and the receiver via a direct propagation path and possible reflection propagation paths.

By applying the concepts disclosed herein, overhead associated with feedback for MCS selection may be reduced compared to conventional link adaptation procedures, because, once ML modules at a pair of devices have been trained, the MCS selection by the ML modules can be done without requiring the ongoing feedback of CSI.
