    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.

  • Publication number: 20240129865
    Abstract: Devices, methods and computer programs for adjusting a client device receiver parameter are disclosed. A client device (200) transmits to a network node device (210) a first capability indication indicating at least a low-resolution analog-to-digital converter capability of the client device (200), and a second capability indication indicating whether the client device (200) is capable of receiving signal information associated with low-resolution receiver processing. Based on these, the network node device (210) may determine that adjusting at least one receiver parameter of the client device (200) is needed, generate and transmit network assistance information and signal information to the client device (200) for use in adjusting at least one receiver parameter of the client device (200). The client device (200) may then perform power measurements of the received signal information and adjust receiver parameter(s) of the client device (200) accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20240113825
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatuses for sounding reference signal transmission. According to some embodiments, an apparatus is caused at least to: receive, from a network device sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration comprising one or more SRS resource sets; receive, from the network device, a message comprising an indication of which one of the one or more SRS resource sets is configured or enabled to follow or not follow corresponding one or more indicated transmission configuration indication (TCI) states from an activated TCI list for the apparatus; and transmit, to the network device, an SRS based on the indication. In this way, SRS resource sets may be dynamically detached to not follow specific TCI state and used for sounding the uplink channel in an efficient manner.

  • Patent number: 7890889
    Abstract: A media management user-interface (UI) application that provides access to media items and media files and provides browsing and search capabilities for locating media items within media files. The UI application may rely on a hierarchical display of various levels or categories of media files and, as such, the application is uniquely suited for portable digital devices having small displays. The hierarchal display of media file levels allows the user to easily browse through levels to identify a desired media file and to locate and display a desired media item. In addition, the UI application may provide for an easily activated search function that provides for keyword searches to be performed based on information that has been associated with media files and media items.
