  • Patent number: 12317336
    Abstract: Wireless communications systems may support flexible waveform configuration for autonomous uplink transmissions. A base station may transmit broadcast signaling (e.g., a system information block (SIB)) indicating waveform configuration information for an autonomous uplink transmission by a user equipment (UE). In some cases, the broadcast signaling may include a waveform configuration field (WCF) that may indicate whether flexible waveforms for autonomous uplink are supported, may configure a waveform type, may indicate waveform configuration mapping rules, etc. As such, a UE may identify whether flexible waveform configuration for autonomous uplink is supported, and may determine waveform types for autonomous uplink transmissions based on waveform type configuration information from a base station (e.g., which may include an indication of whether flexible waveform configuration is supported, an indication of waveform type/scenario mapping rules, etc.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information (DCI) associated with a DCI format for shared channel scheduling on a set of cells, wherein the DCI is associated with a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) and a configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier (CS-RNTI). The UE may decode the DCI to identify a scheduling on the set of cells or to identify downlink feedback information (DFI) based at least in part on a determination of whether the C-RNTI or the CS-RNTI satisfies a cyclic redundancy check (CRC).

  • Patent number: 12302300
    Abstract: Techniques are described that provide for waveform selection for uplink (UL) and/or downlink (DL) wireless transmissions based on one or more factors associated with the wireless transmission, a transmitter that is to transmit the wireless transmission, or combinations thereof. UL and DL transmissions may use one of a number of different waveforms, such as single-carrier waveforms that use a single carrier for information transmission of a wireless channel, and multi-carrier waveforms that use multiple carriers at different frequencies to transmit some of the bits on each channel. Multi-carrier transmission waveforms or single-carrier waveforms may be selected for wireless transmissions based on a bandwidth allocated for the transmissions, a capability of a transmitter that is to transmit the transmissions, or combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 12302334
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication using various patterns of data and reference signals are described. For example, in a system that supports operation using different duration transmission time intervals (TTIs), a base station may initiate communication with a user equipment (UE) or between two UEs, and UEs may communicate with the base station or with one another using an indicated pattern of data and reference signals. The base station may send a downlink control message indicating a transmission pattern selected from a set of patterns. UEs may identify the pattern based on the indicator and decode a sequence of data and reference signals based on the pattern. In some examples, the sequence may include a set of TTIs, which may have a shorter duration than other TTIs.

  • Patent number: 12301393
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems (e.g., non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems), a base station may serve a large number of user equipments (UEs) on the uplink. To improve detectability for these uplink transmissions (e.g., if reference signals are not available for the transmissions), the UEs may implement parallel transmissions of preambles with uplink data. A UE may split the uplink data into one or more data layers, and may select one or more preamble layers to transmit superposed with the data layers. These preambles may be sequences known to both the UE and the base station to aid in detectability. The UE may assign different signature sequences to each of these layers based on cross-correlation values (e.g., assigning sequences with higher cross-correlation values to the data layers for improved detectability), and may scramble the layers into a single shared signal for transmission.
