  • Patent number: 11743913
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for compact downlink control information (DCI) signaling design for ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). A method for wireless communications performed by a base station (BS) is provided. The method generally includes generating DCI, the DCI scheduling at least one transmission, according to a first DCI format. The first DCI format is compressed relative to a second DCI format and includes a carrier indicator field (CIF) and/or a rate-matching indicator field. The BS transmits the DCI to a user equipment (UE). The UE communicates with the BS based on the received DCI.

  • Patent number: 11742994
    Abstract: A UE may identify slots to transmit and/or receive information related to one or more HARQ processes in frame structure that includes both sub-band full duplex slot types and time division duplex slot types. Based on a first slot used for control information, a UE can identify a second slot for PUSCH or PDSCH communication based on an offset between the first slot and the second determined by calculating slot offsets (e.g., based on parameters received from a base station). In some aspects, a UE may exclude certain slot duplex types (e.g., SBFD or TDD) when calculating slot offsets. In some aspects, a UE may calculate slot offsets differently for different HARQ processes corresponding to one frame. In some aspects, slot offset behaviors may be based on priority of information associated with a HARQ process.

  • Patent number: 11743897
    Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. An orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) configuration of an uplink channel is identified for communications in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. An OFDMA waveform is generated based on the identified OFDMA configuration. The OFDMA waveform is communicated in a signal in the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. A virtual cell identifier of a first base station may be associated with transmissions between the first base station and a first user equipment (UE). A set of common resource blocks may be identified for transmission of a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) between the first base station and the first UE. A configuration of an uplink channel may be dynamically selected for uplink communications in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. A waveform may be generated based on the selected configuration. The waveform may be communicated in a signal in the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band.

  • Publication number: 20230266429
    Abstract: Disclosed are various techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a base station calculates statistics of one or more time-angle metrics based on a signal received from a user equipment, and reports the statistics to a network entity, such as a location server, which uses the statistics to estimate a position of the UE. In some aspects, the network entity receives statistics from multiple base stations, which allows the network entity to more accurately determine the position of the UE. In some aspects, the base station reports the statistics to a network entity according to a statistics reporting configuration, which the network entity may provide to the base station.

  • Publication number: 20230269722
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications system, a base station may schedule multiple user equipment (UEs) for unicast transmissions using a single downlink control information (DCI) format. For example, a first UE may receive, from a base station, DCI that includes unicast scheduling information for multiple UEs including the first UE. The first UE may determine, from the unicast scheduling information, a set of resources on which to communicate data with the base station. In such cases, the UE may transmit or receive data transmissions using the determined set of resources. In some examples, each UE of the multiple UEs may determine respective sets of resources based on one or more UE-specific transformation rules applied to common scheduling parameters of the DCI.

  • Publication number: 20230269710
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a grant delay request to a base station. The grant delay request may indicate a future time, at or thereafter a base station is requested to allocate resources to the UE. The base station may transmit the uplink grant to the UE allocating the resources to the UE based on the grant delay request, and the UE may transmit, to the base station, an uplink transmission including the uplink data based on the uplink grant. The UE may transmit the grant delay request as part of a scheduling request (SR), or as part of a buffer status report (BSR), or a combination of these.

  • Patent number: 11737106
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device and a second device may communicate via a channel. The first device may generate and transmit a reference signal, which may be a distortion probing reference signal with a high peak to average power ratio. In one implementation, the first device may use the reference signal as an input for a neural network model to learn a nonlinear response of the second device transmission components. In another implementation, the second device may sample the generated reference signal, and use the samples as inputs for a neural network model to learn the nonlinear response. The first device and the second device may exchange signaling based on learning the nonlinear response, and each device may compensate for the nonlinear response when communicating via the channel.

  • Patent number: 11737033
    Abstract: Power control in new radio (NR)-to-NR dual connectivity communications is disclosed. A UE, compatible for NR-to-NR dual connectivity, may receive a transmit power configuration and a power allocation configuration. The transmit power configuration identifies the designated reserved power for each of the cell groups participating in the dual connectivity communication. The power allocation configuration identifies to the UE whether to operate access to excess transmission power by either mode 1 rules, which may introduce phase discontinuity into ongoing transmissions, or mode 2 rules, which use a look-ahead functionality to trigger joint determination and allocation of transmission power among known uplink transmissions over a given transmission duration. After the determined transmission power allocation has been made, the UE transmits the dual connectivity transmissions according to the determined power.

  • Patent number: 11729807
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for triggering generation and transmission of a channel state information (CSI) report by the user equipment (UE) in response to issuance of at least one downlink grant by the base station. Additionally, in order to address unique challenges that may arise with respect to traffic collisions and desynchronizations based on downlink grant CSI report triggering (e.g., missing downlink control information (DCI)), aspects of the present disclosure may further implement restrictions for transmission of aperiodic CSI (A-CSI) by the UE on physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) triggered by downlink grant. Additionally, aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for utilizing a duplicate CSI trigger indication (e.g., indicator in downlink DCI) between multiple messages in order to signal to the UE that the transmission of A-CSI may be multiplexed or merged with another uplink message (e.g., acknowledgement).
