  • Patent number: 11985669
    Abstract: A method of wireless communication performed by a base station includes receiving one or more particular signals. The method further includes receiving one or more transmissions associated with a first CC and a second CC. The one or more transmissions include first data and a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) that are associated with the first CC, and the one or more transmissions further include second data and a second DMRS that are associated with the second CC. A determination whether to demodulate the second data using the first DMRS is based on the one or more particular signals.

  • Patent number: 11985647
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for sidelink groupcast communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a beam training request to a base station to determine beams for use with other UEs in a sidelink groupcast communications group. The base station may receive the beam training request, identify wireless resources that a group of UEs may use to perform beam training, and may transmit a beam training grant to each UE of the group of UEs. The UE may transmit a number of training beams using the wireless resources provided in the beam training grant, and the other UEs may measure received signals on the wireless resources to identify one or more beams. Each UE may provide a beam training report to the base station. The base station, based on the beam training reports, may determine beams and resources for use in the groupcast sidelink communications.

  • Publication number: 20240154726
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may accumulate a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) bits as a result of one or more resource conflicts and may store the number of HARQ bits for a later transmission opportunity. The UE may transmit a scheduling request that requests resources for a transmission of the number of HARQ bits that are stored at the UE as a result of the number of HARQ bits satisfying a triggering condition. For example, the UE may transmit the scheduling request if a quantity of the number of HARQ bits satisfies a threshold quantity. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may transmit the scheduling request if the number of HARQ bits include triggering content. For example, the UE may transmit the scheduling request if any HARQ bit stored at the UE conveys a negative acknowledgement (NACK).

  • Publication number: 20240155649
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for downlink control information format for indication of transmission configuration indication state. A user equipment may receive, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI); determining whether the DCI is used for beam indication with or without downlink assignment. The UE also may apply transmission configuration indication (TCI) states based on TCI codepoints in a TCI field of the DCI, when the DCI is used for beam indication. The base station may generate the DCI with information indicating whether the DCI is intended for beam indication with or without downlink assignment, in which the DCI includes the TCI codepoints to apply the TCI states at the UE when the information in the DCI indicates that the DCI is intended for beam indication. The base station may transmit, to the UE, the DCI.

  • Publication number: 20240154682
    Abstract: Aspects relate to measuring and scheduling reference signals. A user equipment (UE) detects reference signals having overlapping resources, and determines a context associated with the reference signals. A Layer 1 (L1) measurement is then performed of at least one reference signal according to a prioritization associated with the context. In another aspect, a network entity determines a scheduling of resources that enables a UE to prioritize performing an L1 measurement of a reference signal from a non-serving cell, and communicates with the UE according to the scheduling. In yet another aspect, a UE communicates with a gNb using transmission configuration indication (TCI) states associated with a corresponding control resource set (CORESET) pool of CORESETs. Beam failure detection (BFD) reference signals are then identified explicitly via a configuration signaling, or implicitly based on the TCI states. The BFD reference signals are then monitored to facilitate detecting a beam failure event.

  • Publication number: 20240155653
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A mobile wireless node (e.g., a mobile integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node) may transmit a control message to a parent wireless node indicating one or more supported network connectivity modes. A network connectivity mode may provide network connectivity to one or more user equipments (UEs) via the mobile wireless node when wireless backhaul connectivity is lost between the mobile wireless node and the parent wireless node. The parent wireless node may authorize the mobile wireless node to use a first network connectivity mode, and the mobile wireless node may communicate with a first UE in accordance with the first network connectivity mode. In this way, the mobile wireless node may use a network connectivity mode to extend coverage of a network to the first UE even if the first UE is outside of the coverage area of the network.
