  • Publication number: 20240147453
    Abstract: An apparatus and system for deferring hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions in a time-domain duplexing (TDD) system are described. After an SPS PDSCH configuration indicating that deferral of the SPS HARQ feedback is enabled is received, a user equipment (UE) determines whether a PUCCH associated with a particular SPS PDSCH transmission is able to be transmitted on valid uplink (UL) symbols. The PUCCH carries a SPS HARQ-ACK bits to acknowledge the particular SPS PDSCH transmission. If the PUCCH is unable to be transmitted using the timing of the SPS PDSCH configuration, the transmission is deferred until the next valid occasion on which the PUCCH is able to be transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20240147471
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to avoiding overlapping uplink transmissions. A user equipment (UE) device may identify a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission and a second PDCCH transmission received from a 5th Generation node (gNB) device; determine, based on the first PDCCH transmission, that the UE device is to transmit a first physical uplink control channel transmission to the gNB device; determine, based on the second PDCCH transmission, that the UE device is to transmit a second physical uplink control channel transmission to the gNB device at a time overlapping the first physical uplink control channel transmission; set a time period after the second PDCCH transmission and during which the UE device is to refrain from transmitting the second physical uplink control channel transmission to the gNB device; and transmit the second physical uplink control channel transmission to the gNB device after the time period.

  • Publication number: 20240129929
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein provide techniques for cancelation of one or more uplink (UL) transmissions from a user equipment (UE). The UE may receive an indication of a parameter d to use for determining a start of a reference UL resource (RUR). The parameter d may be UE-specific. The UE may further receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that includes a downlink control information (DCI) to indicate that a UL transmission is to be canceled in a RUR. The UE may determine a starting symbol of the RUR based on the parameter d. In embodiments, the UE may scale the parameter d based on a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) associated with the parameter d and a second SCS associated with the uplink transmission to obtain a scaled parameter d? that is used to determine the starting symbol of the RUR. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11917709
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5G NR) network may be configured with two or more secondary cells (SCells) of a group of SCells. In these embodiments, the UE may monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for detection of a downlink control information (DCI) format 1_1. The UE may interpret the DCI format 1_1 as indicating SCell dormancy, rather than scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception, if the UE is configured with resourceAllocationType1 and if all bits of a frequency domain resource assignment field in the DCI format 1_1 are equal to 1. For SCell dormancy, the UE may interpret fields of the DCI format 1_1 as a bitmap for SCell dormancy indication and either activate or deactivate a downlink bandwidth part (DL BWP) for an SCell of the group of configured SCells when indicated by the bitmap.

  • Patent number: 11888592
    Abstract: A user equipment (LTE) for operation in a fifth-generation system (5GS) is configured to decode configuration information for a first hybrid-automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) (HARQ-ACK) codebook for first priority HARQ-ACK bits and for a second HARQ-ACK codebook for second priority HARQ-ACK bits. The configuration information may indicate a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource for the first HARQ-ACK codebook and a PUCCH resource for the second HARQ-ACK codebook. The UE may multiplex the first priority HARQ-ACK bits and the second priority HARQ-ACK bits in a PUCCH transmission when the PUCCH resources for the first and the second HARQ-ACK codebooks overlap. The LTE may use the PUCCH resource for the higher priority HARQ-ACK bits to multiplex the first priority HARQ-ACK bits and the second priority HARQ-ACK bits.

  • Publication number: 20240023117
    Abstract: Systems for providing prioritization of UL transmissions in a UE are described. The prioritization information is used to resolve resource conflicts among UL transmissions that include conflicts between high priority UL transmissions, between an aperiodic-channel state information transmission and a scheduling request, and between a low priority UL transmission and a high priority UL transmission when timeline conditions for multiplexing in a single UL transmission are not met. The prioritization is based on timing and priority of the UL transmissions to determine which of the UL transmissions to transmit and which to cancel. Additional prioritization is based on reception by the UE of a cancelation index or in an additional overlapping high priority UL grant received in a DCI of a PDCCH that overlaps with at least one other PDCCH associated with the UL transmissions.

  • Publication number: 20230422172
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein provide techniques for a low power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) with two parts. The LP-WUS may be received by a wake-up receiver of a user equipment (UE) and used to trigger a main receiver of the UE to wake up (e.g., turn on or enter a higher power state). The first part may be used to indicate the presence and/or other characteristics of the second part. The first and second parts may each be transmitted in one or more symbols, slots, or time resource units. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11711813
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to downlink (DL) control channel signaling for an aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) trigger. In one example, a user equipment (UE) communicates with a network to receive first configuration signaling to identify a first downlink control information (DCI) in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The UE also receives, from the network, the first DCI. The first DCI is appended with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits that are scrambled by a common radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) and is to indicate an aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) trigger. Next, the UE receives, from the network, channel state information (CSI) reference signals in one or more occasions that follow an occasion in which the first DCI is received and generates and transmits a CSI report in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) based on the CSI reference signals.

  • Patent number: 11700672
    Abstract: Systems and methods for PDCCH monitoring in NR systems. The UE provides to a serving cell UE capability information indicating a capability of the UE to monitor PDCCH. The UE capability information indicates a carrier aggregation capability larger than multiple serving cells and has a maximum number indication for a maximum number of PDCCH candidates that the UE can monitor per span. The serving cell transmits an RRC message to a UE in response to the UE capacity information. The RRC message has a per-slot and/or per-span indication to monitor PDCCHs on the serving cell for a maximum number of PDCCH candidates and non-overlapping CCEs. The UE monitors PDCCH candidates and, in the event that a span contains larger than a maximum number of PDCCH candidates or non-overlapping CCEs across multiple served cells, determines whether to monitor a particular PDCCH candidate in the span.

  • Publication number: 20230217267
    Abstract: User equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for multi-transmission reception point (TRP) reception, the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling. The RRC signaling includes configuration information configuring a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states. A media access control (MAC) control element (CE) is decoded, where the MAC CE indicates multiple active TCI states of the configured plurality of TCI states. Multiple received beams are determined using the multiple active TCI states. Downlink information is decoded, where the downlink information originates from multiple TRPs and is received via the determined multiple receive beams associated with the multiple active TCI states.
