  • Patent number: 12120737
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for channel access scheme enhancements for systems operating in unlicensed higher frequency bands. A wireless device may perform channel access detection (CAD) measurements on a channel at a first periodicity, determine a CAD metric based on the CAD measurements at a second periodicity, and select, for the channel, a first channel access scheme from a plurality of channel access schemes based on comparison of the CAD metric to a threshold. The first channel access scheme may include a first set of channel access procedures that may define physical channels and signals to utilize respective channel procedures. In instances when the CAD metric is below the threshold, the first channel access scheme may include accessing a channel using a first listen before talk (LBT) procedure that is less restrictive than a second LTB procedure used when the CAD metric is above the threshold.

  • Patent number: 12113623
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may transmit hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback when part of a group of UEs. The UE receives a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with a group of UEs that includes the UE. The UE monitors for a signal from one of a cell on which the UE is currently camped or a cell to which the UE is currently connected that is scrambled by the RNTI and includes control information. The UE transmits HARQ feedback to the one of the currently camped cell or currently connected cell, the HARQ feedback associated with the signal and, when the signal is received, performs an operation in response to the control information.

  • Publication number: 20240333355
    Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for supporting channel state information (CSI) report configuration for network spatial elements adaptation. The UE can receive a CSI report configuration from the base station indicating a first configuration to configure a first CSI report, and a second configuration to configure a second CSI report. The UE can determine one or more active configurations selected from the first configuration and the second configuration, based on whether one or more of the first configuration or the second configuration is activated by a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (MAC CE) or triggered by a Downlink Control Information (DCI). The processor can be further configured to select, based on a report mode, one or more CSI reports from the first CSI report and the second CSI report. The report mode can be a basic mode or an enhanced mode.

  • Publication number: 20240323966
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may increase the reliability of transmission of a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) by transmitting repeated copies of the PUCCH, according to a repetition pattern spanning one or more slots. In an intra-slot mode, more than one copy may be transmitted within each configured slot, with or without frequency hopping. The number of copies as well as a temporal gap between the transmission of successive copies may be configured by the network. The repetition pattern may or may not be interrupted by slot boundaries. In an inter-slot mode, one copy is transmitted per configured slot. Different copies may be transmitted in different directions, according to a spatial consistency pattern. The UE may perform repeated transmission of PUCCHs to different Transmission-Reception Points (TRPs) using respectively different timing advances and/or transmit power levels.
