  • Publication number: 20230133900
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may identify an applicable restricted resource scheduling rule for restricting full-duplex operation on a first set of resources. The base station may transmit one or more control messages scheduling one or more full-duplex communications on a second set of resources based on the applicable restricted resource scheduling rule for restricting full-duplex operation on the first set of resources. In some examples, the second set of resources may overlap in time with the first set of resources. In other examples, the second set of resources may not overlap with the first set of resources in time or frequency. Accordingly, the base station may communicate the one or more full-duplex communications on the second set of resources. The described techniques may enable the base station to perform full-duplex communications with reduced interference and improved reliability.

  • Publication number: 20230134918
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a full-duplexing rule that indicates to refrain from using a transmission dropping rule for transmission direction conflicts that occur between uplink and downlink transmissions in a same symbol. The UE may receive a control message scheduling transmission of a message during a symbol, where a transmission direction conflict arises between a first transmission direction of the message and a second transmission direction of the symbol. For example, the UE may identify a transmission direction conflict between an uplink transmission direction of the message and a downlink transmission direction of the symbol. The UE may communicate the message during the symbol based on the full-duplexing rule. The described techniques may enable the UE to attain reduced latency and higher throughput based on reducing a number of transmissions dropped by the UE.

The first configuration indicates a first transmission configuration indication (TCI) state and a first identifier (ID). A second configuration for a second UL transmission is received at a second time. The second configuration indicates a second TCI state and a second ID. The second UL transmission has a same priority or a same type as the first UL transmission. The first UL transmission is determined to be higher in a hierarchy than the second UL transmission based on a relationship between the first ID and the second ID. The first UL transmission is transmitted with the first TCI state based on the determined hierarchy. The second UL transmission is transmitted with the first TCI state or the second UL transmission is dropped based on the hierarchy.

  • Publication number: 20230127135
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses construction of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae for synthesizing carminic acid and application thereof and belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering and bioengineering. The disclosure obtains recombinant S. cerevisiae CA-B2 capable of synthesizing carminic acid by heterologously expressing cyclase Zhul, aromatase ZhuJ, OKS of Octaketide synthase 1, C-glucosyltransferase UGT2, monooxygenase aptC and 4?-phosphopantetheinyl transferase npgA in S. cerevisiae. The recombinant S. cerevisiae can be used for synthesizing carminic acid by taking self-synthesized acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA as a precursor. On this basis, OKS, cyclase, aromatase, C-glucosyltransferase and monooxygenase relevant to carminic acid are integrated to a high copy site, which can remarkably improve the yield of carminic acid. The yield of carminic acid can be increased to 2664.6 µg/L by optimizing fermentation conditions, and the fermentation time is shortened significantly.
