  • Publication number: 20240305367
    Abstract: Bandwidth part (BWP) switching may benefit a wireless communications system. Such BWP switching may include indication of one or more timing parameters used for time domain resource allocation. For example, the timing parameters may be indicated based on an index to a look-up table (e.g., a bit field in a control transmission). In some cases, one or more tables may be configured for a given BWP, and different tables may contain a different number of rows. The size of the bit field indexing the table may in turn depend on the number of rows. When switching from a first BWP to a second BWP, the size of the bit field may be based on the table of the first BWP, but the bit field may index the table of the second BWP. Techniques supporting improved timing parameter management during BWP switching are discussed herein.

  • Publication number: 20240298198
    Abstract: A victim user equipment (UE) may experience cross-link interference (CLI) from transmissions from an aggressor UE. The present disclosure provides for configuration of a CLI report that accurately characterizes the CLI experienced by the victim UE. A base station may transmit to the victim UE, a configuration for CLI reporting associated with one or more channel state information interference measurement (CSI-IM) resources. The victim UE may generate a CLI report based on the configuration for CLI reporting and the CSI-IM resources. The victim UE may transmit the CLI report to the base station. The base station may use the CLI report to mitigate the CLI, for example, by scheduling the aggressor UE and the victim UE to reduce CLI experienced by the victim UE.

  • Publication number: 20240297692
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) codebook configuration for wireless downlink communications. A user equipment or a scheduled entity receives a reference signal (channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and transmits a CSI report based on the reference signal. The CSI report includes a rank indicator configured to indicate one or more ranks among multiple ranks corresponding to multiple antenna panels associated with the reference signal, and a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) corresponding to a codebook for the plurality of antenna panels. In some examples, a first rank of the multiple ranks is different from a second rank of the plurality of ranks. In other examples, a first antenna panel of the multiple antenna panels having a different number of antenna ports than a second antenna panel of the multiple antenna panels. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 12081301
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and a network entity may support communication of a compressed channel state information (CSI) feedback. The UE and the network entity may use closed-loop feedback to improve beamforming tracking accuracy. For example, the UE may receive a CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) that is beamformed based on a channel estimate of a sounding reference signal (SRS) or a previous CSI feedback, or both. The UE may transmit a feedback message including compressed CSI that is generated through encoding a measurement of the CSI-RS. The compressed CSI may be generated based on a predicted channel estimate at the network entity, determined based on the channel estimate of the SRS or the previous CSI feedback.

  • Patent number: 12056609
    Abstract: A method of wireless communication performed by a receiving device includes determining a transmission reference point value and determining a transmission reference point gradient of a loss based on the transmission reference point value. The receiving device also transmits a message comprising the transmission reference point gradient to a transmitting device. A method of wireless communication by a transmitting device includes receiving a transmission reference point gradient of a loss from a receiving device. The transmitting device determines a transmission point-payload gradient of a transmission reference point value with respect to an encoded value generated by a transmitter neural network. The transmitting device also determines a payload gradient of the loss based on a product of the transmission reference point gradient and the transmission point-payload gradient. The transmitting device further updates weights of the transmitter neural network based on the payload gradient.

  • Patent number: 12058715
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to estimate interference for concurrent uplink and downlink communications based on an indication of one or more one or more characteristics of an interfering uplink signal communicated between a base station and a second user equipment (UE). The base station or the second UE may transmit, to a first UE, an indication of one or more characteristics of an uplink signal, such as a baseband of the uplink signal or one or more parameters of the uplink signal. The first UE may use the characteristic(s) of the uplink signal to estimate the baseband of the uplink signal and cancel interference associated with the uplink signal. For example, the first UE may use the baseband signal to estimate the interference and may subtract the estimated interference from a downlink signal received at the first UE.
