  • Publication number: 20250097140
    Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to power control for independent links. For example, power control at a device may be based on transmissions on multiple links. In some aspects, the independent links may involve a first device (e.g., a user equipment) communicating via different independent links with different devices (e.g., transmit receive points (TRPs) or sets of TRPs). For example, the first device may communicate with a second device (e.g., a TRP) via a first link and communicate with a third device (e.g., a TRP) via a second link. In some scenarios, power control for the first device may be based on power control commands received on multiple links. In some scenarios, a power control constraint may be met taking into account the transmission power on multiple links.

  • Patent number: 12255743
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may configure a user equipment (UE) with a list of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state patterns where each entry in the list may correspond to a different TCI state pattern. The base station may transmit an indication of a selected entry from the TCI state pattern list and transmit a grant to the UE indicating that resources have been allocated in for transmitting a transport block (TB). The UE may receive the grant and attempt to receive the TB in accordance with the indicated TCI state pattern. The UE may generate multi-bit feedback to indicate whether the UE was able to successfully decode the TB and transmit the feedback to the base station. The base station may use the multi-bit feedback for determining whether to select a different TCI state pattern.

  • Patent number: 12256375
    Abstract: In certain aspects, the disclosure is directed to a user equipment (UE) configured for wireless communications with a network node. The UE may include a memory comprising instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions. In some examples, the UE may transmit, to a network node, an indication of an expected communication. In some examples, the UE may receive, from the network node, updated scheduling in response to the indication of the expected communication. For example, the UE may predict a future sidelink/uplink communication based on whether the UE expects data for a future uplink transmission. If the UE expects that it will have data for a future uplink transmission, the UE may notify the network node so that the network node can enter into a low power state until the future transmission, then provide the UE with a sidelink/uplink grant for the future uplink transmission.

  • Patent number: 12256437
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a wireless device may select random access channel occasions (ROs) based jointly on synchronization signal block (SSB) measurements and cross-link interference (CLI) measurements. The base station may configure the wireless device with a set of SSB occasions during which to measure SSBs and a set of interference measurement occasions on which to measure CLI caused by other wireless devices. The wireless device may perform measurements on the received SSBs to determine channel quality for communications with the base station, and CLI measurements during the interference measurement occasions to determine whether CLI exceeds a threshold. The wireless device may then select a beam and an associated RO (e.g., a full duplex RO or a half duplex RO) on which to transmit the random access message using the selected beam.
