  • Patent number: 11870653
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for adaptive resource management in new radio operations that adapts a numerology including a subcarrier spacing and/or cyclic prefix for a user equipment (UE) traveling at a high speed. A base station may transmit via a plurality of remote radio heads (RRH) to a user equipment (UE) is moving along a high speed track. The base station may transmit, in a first time period, using a first numerology including a first subcarrier spacing and a first cyclic prefix ratio, a first transmission for the UE. The base station may transmit, in a subsequent time period, using a second numerology including a second subcarrier spacing and a second cyclic prefix ratio, a second transmission for the UE. At least one of the second subcarrier spacing is different than the first subcarrier spacing or the second cyclic prefix ratio is different than the first cyclic prefix ratio.

  • Patent number: 11863495
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives, from a network entity, a message indicating a change in a set of downlink beams for channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs), and a context associated with the change. The UE saves state values in an auto-encoder neural network in response to receiving the message and associates the saved state values in the auto-encoder neural network to the context in the received message. The UE also resets the state values in the auto-encoder neural network in response to receiving the message and estimates a channel state based on the CSI-RSs received on the changed set of downlink beams. The UE compresses the channel state with the auto-encoder neural network based on the reset state values and further sends to the network entity, the compressed channel state.

  • Publication number: 20230421219
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230421422
    Abstract: Sounding reference signals (SRS) transmitted by a UE, e.g., for positioning or channel estimation, may be configured for one or both of frequency tone level cyclic shift and symbol level code, which, for example, enables multiplexing a greater number of UEs. The frequency tone level cyclic shift is produced by jointly processing a number of symbols with an extended cyclic shift structure. The SRS may be configured using a symbol group level that indicates the number of symbols associated with a cyclic shift structure, and an outer code that indicates a multiplier applied to the SRS at the symbol level, which increases the multiplexing opportunities. The symbol level code may further indicate an extended cyclic shift indicating a linear increase in phase rotation across tones in symbols associated with the symbol group level.
