  • Patent number: 11765709
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for training a beam for multiple component carriers (CCs) for concurrent communications in a wireless communications system associated with limited user equipment (UE) capabilities. The UE receives, via a first receive beam, a first reference signal on a group of CCs over a first symbol. The UE also receives, via a second receive beam, a second reference signal on the group of CCs over a second symbol. The UE selects a receive beam for a subsequent communication based on determining a value of a parameter for each of the first and the second receive beam.

  • Patent number: 11765612
    Abstract: A method of wireless communication receives multiple beams from a base station. The method also simultaneously reports a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) for multiple beams with a single channel measurement resource (CMR) and a single interference measurement resource (IMR). The single IMR is configured for multiple interference sources. A method of wireless communication by a base station configures a UE with a group of interference sources. The base station also configures the UE with an interference measurement resource associated with the group of interference sources.

  • Patent number: 11765603
    Abstract: It is recognized herein that as the number of transmit antennas in cellular systems (e.g., NR or 5G systems) increase, the Channel State information (CSI) feedback overhead may increase to unacceptable levels, and the current CSI feedback might not support beamforming training for NR. Embodiments described herein provide an enhanced and more efficient design for Channel State Information feedback as compared to current approaches.

  • Publication number: 20230292331
    Abstract: New radio download numerology allocation information may be obtained through master information block data, system information block data, radio resource control signals, or signals or a physical downlink numerology indication channel, and used along with a reference signal detected in a search space to obtain resource element positions in an antenna port reference signal in a resource block that belongs to a particular band slice according to a reference signal allocation scheme for a band slice numerology. A physical download control may then be decoded based upon one or more resource elements of the reference signal, allowing the connection of, e.g., an enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine type communication, or ultra-reliable/low-latency application to a communications network thereby. Alternatively, multiple physical downlink control channels may be blindly demodulated at each of a number calculated reference signal locations, and one channel selected based on passing a cyclic redundancy check.

  • Patent number: 11758592
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a beam configuration for each physical cell identifier (PCI) of a set of candidate PCIs. A beam configuration for a PCI may include, for example, transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for downlink channels and reference signals or spatial relations for uplink channels and reference signals.

  • Patent number: 11757519
    Abstract: Aspects relate to reporting beam failure. Upon detecting a beam failure, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a beam failure recovery request to a base station. If the uplink is working, the UE may transmit the beam failure recovery request via uplink signaling (e.g., via a physical uplink control channel or a physical uplink shared channel). If the uplink is not working or if the beam failure is due to downlink quality degradation, the UE may transmit the beam failure recovery request via a random access channel (RACH) message.

  • Publication number: 20230284151
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a first UE (e.g., aggressor UE) receives PL RS from a second UE (e.g., victim UE). The first UE determines a PL associated with the PL RS (e.g., based on a transmission power of the PL RS). The first UE performs one or more transmissions, in one or more full duplex (FD) resources, one or more transmissions with a transmission power that is based at least in part on the PL associated with the PL RS (e.g., PL may be used to determine a maximum transmission power that functions as a power control constraint on a power control algorithm that sets the transmission power). In this manner, CLI at the second UE may be reduced. In some designs, a network entity (e.g., base station) configures the PL RS.
