  • Publication number: 20250234299
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided. An example method includes receiving, from a second network entity associated with a set of TRPs, a PDCCH transmission. Each respective TRP of the set of TRPs may correspond to a respective TCI state of a set of TCI states. The PDCCH transmission is based on a BFR request, where the BFR request includes a failed cell ID/a failed TRP ID associated with one TRP of the set of TRPs. The failed cell ID/the failed TRP ID is associated with a unified TCI state of the set of TCI states. The example method may include transmitting, to the second network entity based on an adjustment to a first set of power control parameters, one or more UL transmissions. The one or more UL transmissions is associated with the unified TCI state and one of the failed cell ID/the failed TRP ID.

  • Publication number: 20250233695
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) are described. A UE may monitor a first slot for a semi-persistent scheduled transmission associated with a target slot for feedback information for the semi-persistent scheduled transmission. The UE may receive, during a second slot subsequent to the target slot, a control message requesting feedback for one or more downlink transmissions. In some examples, the UE may select a third slot subsequent to the second slot for transmission of the feedback information for the semi-persistent scheduled transmission based on the control message, a scheduling conflict between uplink transmission of the feedback information and a downlink reception at the target slot, and an availability of uplink resources during the third slot. The UE may then transmit, to a network entity, the feedback information according to the selection.

  • Patent number: 12363760
    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: 12363722
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates in first and second search space (SS) sets may be located in a same slot. When both SS sets have the same periodicity and the same offset, the UE may determine that SS sets are linked. The UE may expect the same number of monitoring occasions for each SS set within the slot, and may determine that a monitoring occasion in the first SS set having a first index value is linked with a monitoring occasion in the second SS set that has the same index value. The UE may determine that monitoring occasions for the different SS sets that have the same periodicity but different offsets are located in different slots, and that rules are satisfied such that a first PDCCH repetition is located in an earlier slot than the second PDDCH repetition.
