  • Patent number: 11985515
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to dynamic antenna array reconfiguration and signaling in millimeter wave bands. A user equipment (UE) may detect an antenna array change condition. The UE may transmit a request for beam training for an antenna array configuration in response to the detecting. The request for beam training may include a requested antenna array configuration for the UE and an indication of beam weights to use with the requested antenna array configuration. A base station may determine whether to grant or deny the requested antenna array configuration for the UE. The UE may receive, from the base station, an indication of an antenna array configuration for the UE. The base station may transmit the number of reference signals as a set of contiguous channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS). The UE may train the reconfigured active antenna array configuration based on the reference signals.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11963023
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some systems may support the transmission of a predicted negative acknowledgment (NACK) indication for a downlink data message. In some cases, a base station may transmit a downlink data message to a user equipment (UE). The UE may perform a decoding process for the message. The UE may determine whether the decoding process is likely to fail during a first portion of the decoding process prior to completion of the decoding process. The UE may transmit a predicted NACK message to the base station prior to a feedback opportunity configured for the UE to transmit feedback based on a result of the completed decoding process. The base station may determine whether to retransmit the downlink data message based on the predicted NACK message, such that the predicted NACK message may reduce the latency associated with retransmission of downlink data messages.

  • Patent number: 11956062
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to millimeter wave (mmWave) device discovery for relay communication using pseudo-omnidirectional beams. A first user equipment (UE) may transmit a synchronization signal over each pseudo-omnidirectional beam to enable a second UE to discover a presence of the second UE within a range of the first UE. Upon the occurrence of an external event, a base station may either trigger a beam training procedure with the second UE to establish a relay link between the first and second UEs or broadcast a message to all UEs requesting a relay link be established with the first UE. The first and second UEs may then select a directional beam pair link (BPL) for the relay link and establish the relay link to enable information to be relayed between the base station and the first UE via the relay link.
