  • Patent number: 11818711
    Abstract: Aspects relate to wireless communications utilizing cross carrier scheduling Methods and apparatus include generating at least one slot in a control channel from a scheduling cell, the at least one slot including a plurality of control channel segments such as PDCCH segments, which are arranged at respective times within the at least one slot. Each of the control channel segments includes control information such as DCIs corresponding to respective slots for a scheduled cell. Distributing the control channel information in segments or spans over time affords improved decoding timing in a UE in the scheduled cell.

  • Patent number: 11817931
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a base station providing a user equipment (UE) with a sticky uplink beam assignment for one or more uplink signals. The UE may use the sticky uplink beam assignment for transmission of uplink signals until a new sticky uplink beam assignment is received. In some examples, the sticky uplink beam assignment may include an uplink beam identifier (ID) identifying an uplink beam associated with the transmission of an uplink signal. The uplink beam identified by the uplink beam ID may be used by the UE for transmission of the uplink signal and either all subsequent uplink signals (e.g., physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and/or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)) or subsequent uplink signals of particular uplink channel types (e.g., dynamic PUSCH, configured grant (CG), PUCCH, etc.) until a new uplink beam ID is received. Other aspects, features, and examples are also claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 11818723
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may provide hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for multiple physical channels (e.g., multiple physical downlink shared channels (PDSCH)) scheduled via multi-component carrier. The UE may monitor control channel occasions (e.g., physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) occasions), to receive wireless communications from a base station (e.g., a next-generation NodeBs (gNB)). For example, the UE may receive multiple downlink control information (DCI) messages that may schedule multiple PDSCH over different component carriers. The UE may identify one or multiple downlink assignment indices (DAI) in the received DCI messages. In some examples, the UE may generate one or more feedback bits of a HARQ feedback codebook (also referred to as an acknowledgement codebook). The one or more feedback bits include a same number of feedback bits for each downlink assignment index associated with each DCI message.

  • Patent number: 11817959
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to support codebook construction for enhanced hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to support a first type of HARQ feedback and a second type of HARQ feedback that includes additional information relative to the first type. A base station may transmit multiple downlink transmissions to the UE, where a first set of the downlink transmissions may be associated with the first type of HARQ feedback and a second set of the downlink transmissions may be associated with the second type of HARQ feedback. The UE may attempt to decode the downlink transmissions and may generate respective feedback for the downlink transmissions. The UE may construct a single HARQ codebook to multiplex the different types of HARQ feedback for the downlink transmissions and may transmit the HARQ codebook to the base station.

  • Publication number: 20230361970
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a payload for inclusion in an uplink transmission. The UE may organize the payload into a code block group (CBG) that includes one or more code blocks (CB). The UE may map each CB of the CBG to a corresponding uplink shared channel resource unit (e.g., a physical uplink shared channel resource unit) of an uplink transmission occasion of the first UE. The uplink transmission occasion may also be shared with one or more additional UEs such that the CBG of the first UE is multiplexed with additional CBGs from the additional UEs. The UE may transmit, to a base station, the uplink transmission including each uplink shared channel resource unit on which the CBG is organized.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for indicating sidelink CSI information to a base station. A UE and a base station may determine a priority of a sidelink CSI report on an uplink channel in association with a priority of one or more of at least one uplink transmission or at least one other sidelink transmission. The sidelink CSI report may correspond to one or more sidelink transmissions between the UE and at least one other UE. The UE may transmit, and the base station may receive, via the uplink channel, the sidelink CSI report based on the priority of the sidelink CSI report on the uplink channel being determined in association with the priority of the one or more of the at least one uplink transmission or the at least one other SL transmission.

  • Patent number: 11811570
    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.
