  • Publication number: 20240147379
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for indications of CLPC reset are described. An apparatus is configured to receive, from a network node, a MAC-CE or DCI that includes an indication of closed loop power control (CLPC) reset information. The apparatus is also configured to reset or maintain a CLPC adjustment state in response to receiving the indication of the CLPC reset information in the MAC-CE or the DCI. Another apparatus is configured to receive, from a network node, information for CLPC at the UE, where the information for CLPC indicates that a CLPC adjustment state is unaffected during a configuration for OLPC or a random-access at the UE. The other apparatus is also configured to maintain the CLPC adjustment state at the UE, during OLPC configuring or a random-access procedure at the UE, based on the information for CLPC received from the network node.

  • Patent number: 11974283
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication from a base station that a downlink shared channel resource in a scheduled occasion, such as a semi-persistently scheduled occasion, includes downlink control information (DCI). The UE may monitor the downlink shared channel resource for the DCI based on the indication. The UE may determine a set of uplink control channel resources based on one or more parameters of the DCI and the downlink shared channel resource. The parameters of the DCI on the semi-persistently scheduled downlink shared channel may implicitly indicate the set of uplink control channel resources to the UE. The UE may transmit an uplink control message to the base station using the set of uplink control channel resources.

  • Patent number: 11974321
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may perform a random access (RACH) procedure based on a selected synchronization signal block (SSB). During this RACH procedure, a base station may transmit physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) messages for UE RACH message handling. To receive PDCCH signaling for RACH Messages 2, 3, or 4 (Msg 2/3/4), the UE may identify a set of time resources used by the base station for transmitting SSBs that are not quasi-co-located (QCL) with the selected SSB. The UE may identify a Msg 2/3/4 search space that does not overlap with this identified set of resources, and may monitor this identified search space. The search space may correspond to a modified remaining minimum system information (RMSI) search space indicated by the base station, or a valid RMSI search space not indicated by the base station.

  • Patent number: 11973546
    Abstract: In some access networks, group-based beam reporting configured for a UE may be based on heuristics and/or based on UE implementation, and therefore, may lack adequate information regarding joint channel properties for simultaneous transmission and reception on a channel configured with a base station. Configurations of UEs and base stations are described herein that support various feedback metrics for resource grouping in association with transmission and reception operation modes and/or channel states, such as MIMO schemes, SINRs, channel properties, and the like. Base stations may dynamically indicate metrics to be reported by UEs so that simultaneous transmission and reception may be sufficiently supported.

  • Patent number: 11974234
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for including power reporting for network power modification are described. That is, a user equipment (UE) and a base station may exchange signaling supporting an MPR update at the UE. In some examples, the UE may transmit, to the base station, a request for resources for performing channel measurements in accordance with a power reduction update associated with the UE. In response, the UE may receive, from the base station, an indication of a set of resources. In some examples, the UE may perform one or more channel measurements using the set of resources based on receiving the indication of the set of resources. In such examples, the UE may transmit, to the base station, a report indicating one or more power parameters associated with the power reduction update based on the one or more channel measurements.

  • Patent number: 11974334
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatuses, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for determining, such as by a user equipment (UE), a bundle size for demodulation reference signal (DMRS) bundling for an uplink random access channel (RACH) message sent with repetition and transmitting the uplink RACH message with DMRS bundling according to the determined bundle size. For example, in some aspects of the present disclosure, the uplink RACH message is sent with a number of repetitions and the bundle size is determined as a function of the number of repetitions. In some aspects, the bundle size is determined based on operation band. In some aspects, the bundle size is determined, based on a duplexing mode in which the UE is operating. In some aspects, the bundle size is determined, at least in part, based on signaling from the base station.
