  • Patent number: 12658992
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to the generation of channel state reports and precoding a wireless transmission based on frequency division duplex (FDD) reciprocity. A base station (BS) uses at least two precoders to transmit signals to A user equipment (UE). The UE generates a set of channel state reports, in which the UE transmits a first set of channel coefficients using a first timing, a set of port attributes using a second timing, and a second set of channel coefficients using a third timing. The first set of channel coefficients correspond to a first precoded portion of the wireless transmission, and the set of port attributes and the second set of channel coefficients correspond to a second portion of the wireless transmission. The BS modifies at least one of the precoders based on the channel state reports. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 12634081
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present application relate to techniques for configuring and/or performing channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource aggregation. For example, the techniques described herein enable multiple resource mappings within a single CSI-RS resource. These multiple mappings may facilitate the aggregation of a greater number of CSI-RS resources, thereby supporting a larger number of CSI-RS ports. A user equipment (UE) may then perform CSI measurements using this expanded set of CSI-RS ports.

  • Publication number: 20260121700
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described my support dedicated codebooks for sparse antenna arrays, and channel state information (CSI) reporting procedures with reduced overhead. Precoding matrix indicator (PMI) reporting (e.g., in a CSI report) may be based on such dedicated codebook structures. For a CSI report for sparse antenna arrays, each precoding vector for each transmission layer may be constructed from two sub-vectors. Each sub-vector may include an overlapping entry (e.g., one entry in the first sub-vector is the same as one entry in the other sub-vector). Each sub-vector may correspond to an antenna subarray. The overlapping entry may correspond to a same antenna element in both of the two subarrays. The network may provide a UE with an indication of a sparse codebook type, and one or more parameter values for the sparse codebook type.

    Abstract: A UE measures multiple occasions of CSI-RS. The UE also transmits, at a first stage, a first coefficient selection bitmap for CSI based on measurement of the CSI-RS and associated with a first domain and a second domain, first the coefficient selection bitmap indicating locations of NZCs. In one aspect, the UE further transmits, at a second stage, a second coefficient selection bitmap indicating, for each NZC location indicated in the first coefficient selection bitmap, a corresponding NZC location in a time domain. In another aspect, the UE further transmits, at a second stage, a second coefficient selection bitmap indicating, for each subset in each time domain basis of a three-dimensional bitmap and that is associated with one of a first domain or a second domain, whether an NZC is located in the subset.
