  • Patent number: 12063540
    Abstract: Processes, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device may monitor a wakeup signal monitoring occasion in an inactive duration of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. The communication device may transmit, in a first active duration of the DRX cycle, a channel state information (CSI) report on one or more resources based on monitoring the wakeup signal monitoring occasion. In some examples, the communication device may transmit an indication that the communication device requests reporting of the CSI report in the first active duration of the DRX cycle. The communication device may, in some examples, receive, in a second active duration of the DRX cycle, control information for the UE based on the CSI report.

  • Patent number: 12063623
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Wireless communications systems may support both access links and sidelinks (e.g., D2D communication links) for communications between one or more communication devices. Wireless devices may communicate sidelink control information in two stages, where first stage sidelink control information (SCI-1) may be transmitted via a physical sidelink channel and second stage sidelink control information (SCI-2) may be transmitted via a physical shared channel. In cases where sidelink communications use several (e.g., three or more) layers, the described layer mapping techniques may provide for robust transmission of control information, higher data rates, improved spectral efficiency, etc. For example, SCI-1 and/or SCI-2 may be mapped to physical channel layers by repeating the same modulation symbols across all layers, across groupings or sets of layers, across layers associated with each codeword, etc.

  • Publication number: 20240267865
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives one or more timing advance commands from a non-terrestrial network (NTN). The UE resets, after a GNSS fix, a cumulative timing advance value based on the one or more timing advance commands from the NTN and transmits an uplink transmission with a timing advance based on a self-estimated delay and the cumulative timing advance value. The UE may adjust a self-estimated delay based on at least one GNSS fix. The UE may transmit an uplink transmission with a timing advance based on the adjusted self-estimated delay and a cumulative timing advance value based on the one or more timing advance commands from the NTN.

  • Publication number: 20240267844
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive first signaling, and may transmit a first wake-up signal (WUS) based on information associated with a channel, where the information may be determined based on receiving the first signaling. The UE may monitor one or more channels, during a duration, for one or more signals based on transmitting the first WUS. If the UE fails to receive the one or more signals via the one or more channels during the duration, the UE may transmit a second WUS after the duration. The UE may communicate second signaling with a network entity based on transmitting the first WUS based on the information and successfully receiving the one or more signals, or based on transmitting the second WUS after the duration and successfully receiving one or more additional signals.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A method at a user equipment (UE) includes receiving signaling that indicates a carrier aggregation (CA) configuration (having carriers configured for UL and downlink (DL) data transmissions) and an auxiliary uplink (UL) configuration (having carriers configured for UL reference signal transmissions). The method also includes receiving a resource assignment on a DL carrier of the CA configuration, and transmitting an aperiodic sounding reference signal (A-SRS) using the one or more carriers of the auxiliary UL configuration based at least in part on the received resource assignment. Another method is performed by a UE having a CA configuration and an A-SRS configuration, including receiving a resource assignment on a DL carrier in the CA configuration, detecting a trigger for transmitting an A-SRS, determining UL resources of the A-SRS configuration for transmitting the A-SRS, and transmitting the A-SRS on the determined UL resources.

  • Patent number: 12057945
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to transmit a transport block multiple times in a set of transmission time intervals (TTIs) of a repetition window to improve the chances that the transport block is received by a receiving device. In some cases, however, the transport block may not be available to be transmitted in the repetition window until after a first TTI of the repetition window. In such cases, the UE may use the techniques described herein to identify appropriate configurations for transmitting the transport block in the repetition window. In particular, the UE may determine whether to use a fixed repetition window or a sliding repetition window for transmitting the transport block based on various factors in an attempt to satisfy latency and reliability constraints associated with the transport block.

  • Patent number: 12047930
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques that may allow a base station and user equipment (UE) to be in agreement on spatial quasi co-location (QCL) assumptions for transmission in certain scenarios. The techniques may be used, for example, to determine QCL assumptions for downlink transmissions sent in an initial control resource set (CORESET) on an initial downlink bandwidth part (BWP) where dedicated signaling of such assumptions may be lacking. In some cases, the techniques may involve a UE determining a beam to use for monitoring for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission on the initial CORESET in the initial downlink BWP that lacks dedicated signaling of QCL information and monitoring for the PDCCH on the initial CORESET in the initial BWP using the determined beam. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
