  • Publication number: 20260262042
    Abstract: Systems and methods using uplink control information multiplexing enhancements for up to eight antenna port transmit (Tx) uplink operations are discussed. A wireless communication system supports the use of two codewords in a single physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) sent by a user equipment (UE) to a network, where the PUSCH is sent with a rank that is greater than four (e.g., using more than four layers). Herein, various examples are provided with respect to manners of encoding uplink control information (UCI) to be multiplexed into one or more of the two codewords, manners of using beta offsets for UCI multiplexing into one or more of the two codewords, manners of using scaling factors for UCI multiplexing with one or more of the two codewords, and/or manners of identifying a single one of the codewords for UCI multiplexing use/extraction. Different treatments based on UCI types within these contexts are discussed.

  • Patent number: 12726988
    Abstract: Systems and methods for modularized design for inter-physical layer priority uplink control information (UCI) multiplexing are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) may determine a first code rate for a first portion of UCI and a second code rate for a second portion of UCI. Different code rates may be used to encode different portions of UCI (e.g., hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits, channel state information (CSI) reporting bits, scheduling request (SR) bits, cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits, etc.). Further, a UE may select a group of bets offset sets based on a physical layer priority type and a UCI multiplexing type.

  • Patent number: 12726908
    Abstract: An approach is described for a dynamic off period of a base station within a wireless communication environment and a process for notifying a UE of the same. In a first scenario, the DCI message is modified with newly-defined values indicative of the different power saving states (i.e., “dynamic off states”) of the base station. These power saving states may defined as suspending one or both of downlink transmission and uplink reception. In another scenario, a new notification message is defined. In either case, the notification signal may also include cell and/or beam specific parameters as well as an application delay that defines a start time of the dynamic off period.

  • Publication number: 20260238440
    Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to provide adaptive physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring. In particular, a unified signaling technique for adaptive PDCCH search space monitoring is descried. This signaling can indicate either one or a combination of the switching and skipping. In an example, the signaling includes multiple parts. In a first part, radio resource control (RRC) signaling is sent from the network to the device to configure the device for switching only, skipping only, or switching and skipping. In a second part, first DCI is sent from the network to the device to indicate the particular PDCCH monitoring configuration to use for the PDCCH search space monitoring. Thereafter, network sends second DCI in the relevant PDCCH search space, where this second DCI schedules traffic. The device performs blind decoding to determine the second DCI in order to exchange the traffic.
