  • Patent number: 12273881
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for determining a transport block (TB) configuration and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment (ACK)/negative acknowledgment (NACK) configuration for full duplex (FD) UE(s) are described. One technique involves receiving channel state information (CSI) report(s) from a UE operating in FD mode. At least one of a TB configuration or feedback type for a communication slot is determined based on the CSI report(s). The communication slot can include half duplex (HD) symbol(s) and FD symbol(s). An indication of at least one of the TB configuration or the feedback type is signaled to the UE. Another technique involves receiving, from a base station (BS), downlink data transmission(s) across a slot(s). A type of duplexing mode associated with each of the slot(s) is determined. The downlink data transmission(s) are acknowledged, based at least in part on the type of duplexing mode associated with each of the slot(s).

  • Patent number: 12267791
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be capable of operating according to a first transmission efficiency operating mode and a second transmission efficiency operating mode that is less power efficient than the first transmission efficiency operating mode. The first transmission efficiency operating mode may be associated with a first undesired emission level that is greater than a second undesired emission level associated with the second transmission efficiency operating mode. The UE may select to operate in one of the two transmission efficiency operating modes based on one or more communication parameters (e.g., indicated by control signaling received from a base station). For example, the UE may select to operate in the first transmission efficiency operating mode based on determining that one or more of the communication parameters satisfies at least one parameter criterion for operating in the first transmission efficiency operating mode.

  • Publication number: 20250105956
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support selection and quantization of time domain coefficients through an extended eType-II codebook. In a first aspect, a method of wireless communication includes measuring, by a user equipment (UE), a bundle of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) to determine channel quality information across a spatial domain, a frequency domain, and a time domain. The UE generates a first bitmap identifying a first plurality of non-zero coefficients (NZCs) selected to represent a first CSI for the spatial domain and the frequency domain, and a second bitmap identifying a second plurality of NZCs selected to represent a second CSI for the time domain. The UE would then transmit one or more CSI reports including one or both of the first bitmap and the second bitmap. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

  • Publication number: 20250106842
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may account for the application of orthogonal cover coding (OCC) to an uplink transmission when determining the transport block size (TBS) for the uplink transmission. OCC may be used to multiplex transmissions from multiple UEs and may involve spreading information. Described techniques may involve accounting for the spreading of information bits when determining the TBS for the uplink transmission to which OCC is applied. Sub-physical resource block (sub-PRB) frequency allocations may be provided for uplink transmissions. The UE may account for the allocated quantity of sub-carriers when determining the quantity of information bits. To indicate a sub-PRB, the UE may be configured to reinterpret one or more fields of an existing downlink control information (DCI) format as indicating the allocated sub-carriers, or a new DCI format may be configured that includes fields for indicating a sub-PRB allocation.

  • Patent number: 12262422
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) procedure for the random access channel (RACH) response message in a two-step RACH procedure. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes sending a RACH message to a base station (BS) during a two-step RACH procedure. The RACH message includes a RACH preamble and a RACH payload. The UE monitors a RACH response message from the BS during a random access response (RAR) window. The UE transmits a retransmission of the RACH message, an acknowledgement (ACK) to the RACH response message, a negative acknowledgment (NACK) to the RACH response message, or does not transmit, to the BS based on whether a RACH response message carrying a success RAR or a fallback RAR, or no RACH response message, is received from the BS during the window.

  • Patent number: 12262420
    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to the timing arrangements and the transmission gap configurations in 2-step random access channel (RACH) procedures to improve system latency and reliability of a RACH HARQ process are provided. The UE transmits a first message including a random access preamble and a payload, and then monitors for a second message in response to the first message during a random access response (RAR) window. In response to determining that no second message is received by the UE from the BS or a back off indicator is received within the RAR window, the UE re-transmits the preamble and payload of the first message after the RAR window lapses. In response to determining if the second message received within the RAR window carries a FallbackRAR or SuccessRAR, the UE then determines to re-transmit the payload of the first message based on the FallbackRAR, or to transmit an acknowledgement message based on the SuccessRAR.

  • Patent number: 12262443
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) operating in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode may receive a wake-up signal indicating that the UE may skip the next ON duration of the DRX cycle, i.e., the UE is instructed to not wake up during a next ON time during the DRX cycle to monitor communication signals, such as data signals or control signals. The UE may be configured to receive downlink (DL) positioning reference signals (PRSs), e.g., during the next ON duration of the DRX cycle. The UE respond to the PRS configuration and the wake-up signal by remaining in DRX sleep mode and not receiving the PRS or transitioning to DRX ON mode to receive the PRS during which the UE may monitor or not monitor communication signals. The location server may receive indications of the wake-up signal configuration and status from a base station or the UE.

  • Patent number: 12262366
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from another UE, a coordination message that includes resource information (e.g., a preference status) for communication resources. The UE receiving the coordination message may determine a status of one or more resources based on the resource information, an intended recipient of the coordination message (e.g., based on a destination identifier of the coordination message), or a communication connection associated with the one or more resources. The status may indicate that a respective resource of the one or more resources is available, reserved, preferred, or non-preferred, or some combination thereof. In some examples, the one or more resources may be for a sidelink connection or a unicast connection. The receiving UE may utilize the determined status to select one or more resources for a sidelink transmission.
