  • Patent number: 12719623
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a control message indicating to switch from a first slot format to a second slot format. The first slot format may include symbols for reference signal transmissions and symbols for data transmissions. Thus, the first slot format may be a full-TDM slot that supports time division multiplexing (TDM) reference signals and data. The second slot format may be a hybrid TDM/frequency division multiplexing (FDM) slot or a full-FDM slot that includes at least one symbol for frequency division multiplexing (FDM) reference signals and data. Based on a capability of the UE and the control message, the UE may switch to the second slot format and communicate a reference signal in a symbol configured for FDM.

  • Patent number: 12720532
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for wireless communications. For example, an apparatus (e.g., a user equipment (UE)) may receive a downlink transmission in a first downlink time slot and receiving an update to a scheduling offset associated with a propagation time delay of communications between the apparatus and a network entity. The update indicates an updated scheduling offset. The apparatus may determine a selected scheduling offset as one of the scheduling offset or the updated scheduling offset. The apparatus may transmit, using a second uplink time slot, an uplink transmission associated with the downlink transmission. The second uplink time slot may be determined based on a first uplink time slot and the selected scheduling offset.
