  • Publication number: 20250080200
    Abstract: Various example embodiments relate to apparatuses and methods for inter-cell beam management. An apparatus may be configured to support a first control resource set and a second control resource set for a serving cell, receive a transmission configuration indicator state indication for the first control resource set for a cell other than the serving cell, and ignore, for the second control resource set, the received transmission configuration indicator state indication when the second control resource set is configured to follow a transmission configuration indicator state indication for the serving cell.

  • Patent number: 12245242
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamically adapting scheduling parameter(s) to achieve power savings. A user equipment may be configured with one or more offsets between scheduled PDCCH and PDSCH transmissions. The user equipment may receive from a network an indication to dynamically change these offsets. If the user equipment sleeps through a first transmission of this indication, upon next receiving the indication the user equipment may update, for example, the offset in a time domain resource allocation table. The indication to dynamically change an offset may be an indication of an offset including fewer slots. A change to the offset, with which downlink transmission is expected by the user equipment, may be disabled. A network node may be configured to transmit downlink traffic to the user equipment according to a configured offset and/or according to an offset the network node indicated to the user equipment.

  • Publication number: 20250055552
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose devices, methods and apparatuses of coherent joint transmission. A terminal device may receive a QCL source configuration from a network device. The QCL source configuration may indicate at least two transmission configuration indication (TCI) states that indicate reference signals from valid QCL sources for a coherent joint transmission (CJT) of tracking reference signals (TRSs). The terminal device may perform a QCL property estimation on received TRSs based on the QCL source configuration.

  • Patent number: 12224827
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for beam failure detection and/or beam failure recovery procedures, for instance, for multi-panel user equipment (UEs) are provided. One method may include transmitting, by a UE, a beam report to a network to indicate an association between at least two downlink reference signals and at least two antenna panels at the user equipment or to indicate a selection of at least two downlink reference signals that will be used for downlink reception at the user equipment simultaneously. The method may also include activating the antenna panels corresponding to one or more of the at least two downlink reference signals, based on transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states updated by the network or based on the selection of the at least two downlink reference signals, and detecting beam failure based on at least two sets of beam failure detection resources for the active antenna panels.
