  • Publication number: 20250023962
    Abstract: A wireless device may output a first message or a compression context message. The first message may include (a) a first payload associated with a first RTP-SN, (b) the first RTP SN, and (c) a first PDCP SN that is incrementally synchronized with the first RTP SN. The compression context message may include an indicator of compression context between the first RTP SN and the first PDCP SN. The wireless device may obtain a confirmation that a compression context between the first RTP SN and the first PDCP SN is established at a receiver. In response, the wireless device may output a second message. The second message may have a second payload associated with a second RTP SN and a second PDCP SN that is incrementally synchronized with the second RTP SN. The second message does not comprise a ROHC header having an RTP SN field.

  • Publication number: 20240430741
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for enhanced downlink and uplink scheduling based on assistance information related to PDCP status reports. Some aspects specifically relate to a wireless communication system including a disaggregated base station architecture in which a CU provides a DU assistance information related to PDCP status reports from which assistance information the DU may determine appropriate downlink or uplink scheduling start timing for a UE. In some examples, the DU obtains from the CU assistance information indicating an unreceived PDCP SDU at a UE or the CU, and sends downlink data or an uplink grant to the UE based on the assistance information. The CU may deliver the downlink data to the DU prior to sending the assistance information or obtain uplink data from the DU after sending the assistance information. Duplication of PDCP SDU transmissions and unnecessarily extended scheduling delays may thus be minimized.

  • Patent number: 12137457
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a signaling mechanism associated with activating a secondary cell (SCell) for uplink control information (UCI), including under circumstances in which the SCell is deactivated and belongs to a timing advance group (TAG) lacking a valid timing advance (TA) value. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) and one or more components of a network entity may employ a signaling mechanism for establishing an SCell as a PUCCH-SCell in scenarios in which the PUCCH-SCell belongs to a secondary TAG (sTAG) lacking a valid TA value. The signaling mechanism may include signaling to directly provide the network entity with beam measurement information associated with one or more SCells of the sTAG or may include singling that the network entity may use to derive the beam measurement information associated with the one or more SCells of the sTAG.

  • Patent number: 11991564
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that transmission of one or more first messages, to a wireless device and via a first radio access technology (RAT), does not meet a transmission quality threshold associated with the one or more first messages, wherein the one or more first messages are time domain multiplexed with one or more second messages that are to be transmitted to the wireless device via a second RAT. The UE may adjust a prioritization of the one or more first messages or the one or more second messages to prioritize the transmission of the one or more first messages over the one or more second messages. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20240048341
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling that includes an indication of a configuration for wireless communications with a wireless device using a first operating band of a radio frequency spectrum band. The first operating band may include a first carrier that is paired with a second carrier of the first operating band. The first carrier may be separated in frequency from the second carrier and used for one of transmissions from the UE or receptions at the UE, while the second carrier may be used for both transmissions from the UE and receptions at the UE. The UE may use the second carrier for both transmissions and receptions using time division duplexing (TDD) according to the configuration. The UE may concurrently communicate messages with the wireless device using the first carrier and the second carrier.

  • Publication number: 20230247477
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to buffer communications with a network node. A buffer size of a buffer used to buffer the communications may be specific to a non-terrestrial network (NTN) via which the UE communicates with the network node. For example, the UE may calculate the buffer size based on a maximum data rate of a connection with the network node via the NTN and a radio link control (RLC) round trip time (RTT). The RLC RTT may be specific to NTNs. The UE may use a buffer having the calculated buffer size to buffer the communications between the UE and the network node over the connection.
