  • Patent number: 11871405
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive one or more messages scheduling resources allocated for one or more uplink transmissions that at least partially overlap in time with scheduled resources allocated for one or more downlink transmissions. In such cases, the UE may use different communication parameters for overlapping and non-overlapping resources. For example, the UE may receive a configuration of a first set of communication parameters that are configured for an overlapping portion of the resources and a second set of communication parameters that are configured for a non-overlapping portion of the resources. The UE may apply the first set of communication parameters and the second set of communication parameters to the uplink and downlink resources for transmitting or receiving the one or more uplink and downlink communications.

  • Publication number: 20230403752
    Abstract: Aspects relate to communication using multiple antenna panels. A first user equipment (UE) may use an antenna panel of a second UE for receiving and/or transmitting data. For example, a network entity may schedule a transmission to the first UE where a first transmit receive point (TRP) transmits data to a first antenna panel of the first UE via a first TRP and simultaneously transmits data to a second antenna panel of the second UE via a second TRP, whereby the second UE forwards the data it receives to the first UE. The first UE may send antenna panel information to the network entity for scheduling a multi-panel transmission or reception for the first UE. The first UE may send a request to the second UE to forward data for a multi-panel transmission or reception.

  • Publication number: 20230397111
    Abstract: In an aspect, a BS transmits a WUS that includes an indication of selected PCIs of a PCI group to a UE. The UE receives the WAS and monitors one or more configured DRX ON durations associated with the selected PCIs of the PCI group. In another aspect, a BS transmits a signal that includes dormancy status information for a set of selected PCIs to a UE. For each PCI in the set of selected PCIs indicated by the dormancy status information as associated with a dormant state, the UE refrains from PDCCH monitoring on a dormant BWP to which the respective PCI transitions. For each PCI in the set of selected PCIs indicated by the dormancy status information as associated with a non-dormant state, the UE performs PDCCH monitoring on a non-dormant BWP to which the respective PCI transitions.
