  • Publication number: 20220361156
    Abstract: A base station device can transmit data via multiple data channels to a single user equipment device. Each of the multiple data channels can be configured and scheduled via respective downlink control channels to the user equipment device. In an embodiment, the downlink control information and data can be processed in the transmitter via separate coding structures, and then the separate channel data can be combined for transmission to the mobile equipment. The data channels can use overlapping resource elements, and the receiver can use interference cancellation to remove interference from the subsequent data channel after decoding the data from the first data channel. In other embodiments, the data channels can be associated with different beamforming matrices, demodulation reference signal ports, constellation points and resource elements.

  • Patent number: 11490404
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter is directed towards semi-static or dynamic shifting of New Radio demodulation reference signals to avoid collisions with LTE cell specific reference signals (LTE CRS) in a physical downlink shared channel symbol (PDSCH). In dynamic spread spectrum (DSS) deployments, where NR PDSCH mapping type B is used, e.g., to allow for two NR physical downlink control channel symbols, when the NR PDSCH starts on a symbol carrying LTE CRS, the NR DMRS of the NR PDSCH is shifted to the first symbol of the NR PDSCH not carrying LTE CRS. Whether mapping type A or mapping type B, shifting the symbol containing NR DMRS facilitates the use of two DMRS symbols without colliding with LTE CRS.

  • Publication number: 20220329296
    Abstract: A low complexity multiple input multiple output transmitter that transmits a single codeword per channel is disclosed herein. Instead of sending multiple codewords per channel for transmissions that support higher data layer transmissions, the transmitter can send single codewords over multiple channels in order to improve spectral efficiency over a range of signal to interference plus noise ratios. For instance, if a downlink transmission to a user equipment (UE) has a rank of 4, capable of supporting 4 data layers, instead of sending 2 or more codewords over a single downlink control channel, the transmitter can schedule multiple control channels and transmit a single codeword per channel. The transmitter can also include in the signaling to the UE that the multi-codewords are included in multiple downlink control channels.

  • Patent number: 11470594
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for reduced overhead signaling when a user equipment device is being configured with multiple bandwidth parts for downlink transmission. When a user equipment device is being configured with multiple bandwidth parts (channels on an aggregate carrier), the signaling that indicates the codebook subset restriction bit map, rank restriction bit map, and beam restriction bit map needs to be repeated for each bandwidth part. Often however, the restriction bit maps are repeated in the bandwidth parts, and so overhead can be reduced by encoding a confirmation bit in each bandwidth part, such that if the confirmation bit is set to “1”, the user equipment device can know to apply the restriction bit map from the primary bandwidth part to the secondary bandwidth part, without having to encode the secondary bandwidth part restriction bit map.

  • Patent number: 11452090
    Abstract: A base station device can transmit data via multiple data channels to a single user equipment device. Each of the multiple data channels can be configured and scheduled via respective downlink control channels to the user equipment device. In an embodiment, the first data channel can be mapped to multiple layers, with a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) assigned based on the average channel quality indicator (CQI) of the layers. One or more of the layers can have a higher CQI however, capable of supporting an additional transmission. The base station device can then facilitate establishing a second data channel to the layer with the higher CQI. The MCS assigned to the second data traffic channel can be based on the CQI of the layer, or based on a difference between the average CQI of the layers and the CQI of the layer.

  • Publication number: 20220286937
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards adaptively changing which transmission scheme a user equipment is to use based on a Doppler metric (e.g., Doppler frequency) as evaluated against a threshold Doppler value. A network instructs a user equipment to use a Rank-1 precoder cycling transmission scheme if the Doppler metric of user equipment is above a threshold value, or to use a closed loop MIMO transmission scheme if the user equipment has a Doppler metric below the threshold value. The network can instruct the user equipment via a suitable message, or by switching off TPMI and notifying the user equipment thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220286250
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards adapting the demodulation reference signal sent in a wireless resource data block based on channel estimation performance. In general, if the demodulation reference signal received was not successfully able to be used to demodulate the resource data block, the demodulation reference signal density can be increased up to a maximum density, which costs resource elements but improves the channel estimation accuracy. If the demodulation reference signal received was able to be used to demodulate the resource data block, the demodulation reference signal density can be decreased down to minimum density, which saves resource elements for data. The network device can use HARQ ACK/NACK data (e.g., a current count or counted over a time period) to determine channel estimation performance, and/or the user equipment can recommend a demodulation reference signal density change.

  • Publication number: 20220278811
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards using demodulation reference signal (DMRS)-based channel state information (CSI) reporting in a wireless communications network with multiple transmit-receive points (TRPs). A user equipment computes joint CSI based on received DMRS data, e.g., received with downlink data traffic from two TRPs, such as co-located or backhaul connected TRPs. The DMRS-based joint CSI is reported to the multiple TRPs for use in scheduling subsequent data traffic, which can increase data throughput, and can reduce the frequency of CSI-RS reporting, increasing overall efficiency. The network can activate and deactivate DMRS-based CSI reporting.

  • Patent number: 11425590
    Abstract: Doppler metric data relating to a speed of a mobile device can be used by the mobile device to determine whether a speed threshold has been satisfied. If the speed threshold has been satisfied, then the mobile device can make a recommendation to a network node device to terminate closed-loop multiple input multiple output transmissions and to use a rank-1 precoder transmission. The network device can then decide how to proceed. Alternatively, the network device can change the transmission type based on a load threshold being determined to have been satisfied and the recommendation from the mobile device.
