  • Codebook subset restriction signaling
    Patent number: 11923932
    Abstract: A network node signals to a wireless communication device which precoders in a codebook are restricted from being used. The network node in this regard generates codebook subset restriction signaling that, for each of one or more groups of precoders, jointly restricts the precoders in the group by restricting a certain component (e.g., a certain beam precoder) that the precoders in the group have in common. This signaling may be for instance rank-agnostic signaling that jointly restricts the precoders in a group without regard to the precoders' transmission rank. Regardless, the network node sends the generated signaling to the wireless communication device.

  • Compression and decompression of downlink channel estimates
    Patent number: 11728851
    Abstract: A network node determines parameters indicating a compression function for compressing downlink channel estimates, and a decompression function. The network node transmits the parameters, receives compressed downlink channel estimates, and decompresses the compressed downlink channel estimates using the decompression function. A terminal device receives the parameters, forms the compression function, compresses downlink channel estimates using the compression function, and transmits the compressed downlink channel estimates. The compression function comprises a first function formed based on at least some of the parameters, a second function which is non-linear, and a quantizer. The first function is configured to receive input data, and to reduce a dimension of the input data. The decompression function comprises a first function configured to receive input data and provide output data in a higher dimensional space than the input data, and a second function which is non-linear.

  • PUCCH RELIABILITY ENHANCEMENTS WITH MULTIPLE TRPs
    Publication number: 20230076139
    Abstract: Methods for enhancing Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) reliability. In embodiments disclosed herein, a base station provides, and a wireless device receives, an instruction for transmitting a plurality of PUSCH repetitions based on two Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource sets. Accordingly, the wireless device transmits, and the base station receives, the plurality of PUSCH repetitions based on the instruction. In a non-limiting example, the wireless device can be configured to transmit the multiple PUSCH repetitions in accordance with codebook based PUSCH transmission or non-codebook based PUSCH transmission. As a result, it is possible to efficiently use multiple SRS resource sets for transmission and/or reception of PUSCH repetitions, especially in Frequency Range 2 (FR2) in which an uplink transmit beam may be formed with a narrower beam-width.

  • Code-Division Multiplexing (CDM) Groups for Multi-Source Transmission
    Publication number: 20220158805
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods, performed by a user equipment (UE), for transmitting or receiving a plurality of physical data channels in a wireless network. Such methods include receiving, from the wireless network, an indication of a Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state that includes one or more source reference signal (RS) pairs. Each source RS pair has a pair of quasi-colocation (QCL) relations with antenna ports, for demodulation reference signals (DM-RS), that are mapped to a plurality of code-division multiplexing (CDM) groups. Such methods include receiving/transmitting the physical data channels based on the QCL relations for the source RS pairs of the indicated TCI state. Each physical data channel corresponds to a CDM group and is received/transmitted in association with the DM-RS having antenna ports mapped to the corresponding CDM group. Other embodiments include complementary methods performed by a wireless network, and UEs and wireless networks configured to perform such methods.
