  • Patent number: 11968686
    Abstract: A method of wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) includes decoding information received from a base station via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The UE determines whether to update channel state feedback based on the decoded information. The channel state feedback is updated based on the determination to generate updated channel state feedback. The updated channel state feedback is transmitted to the base station. The UE is configured to update the channel state feedback without an additional measurement of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

    Abstract: A processor-implemented method includes sampling, according to a priority sampling policy, a set of node priorities from a computation graph. Each node priority of the set of node priorities may be associated with a respective node on the computation graph. Additionally, each node may represent an operation of a task performed by an artificial neural network. The method also includes converting, via a list scheduling function, the node priorities to a schedule that associates each node of the computation graph with a processor of a group of processors of a device associated with the artificial neural network, the schedule associated with a makespan. The method further includes performing the task in accordance with the schedule.

  • Publication number: 20230376735
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method for generating a topological order using an artificial neural network (ANN) includes receiving a set of tasks to be performed. The tasks are represented in a graph including multiple nodes connected by edges. Each node corresponds to a task in the set of tasks. A scheduling priority is assigned to each node in the graph. A next node of potential next nodes is selected according to a probability of each of the potential next nodes based on the assigned scheduling priorities and a topology of the graph. A topological order of the tasks is generated by repeating the selection of the next node.

  • Publication number: 20230114870
    Abstract: A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving different sets of parameters from different sources as input to a receiver neural network. The method also includes receiving, from a base station, a set of target long-term energy values associated with the receiver neural network. The method further includes calculating a scaling factor for each of the different sets of parameters based on the set of target long-term energy values, and separately scaling each of the different sets of parameters based on the scaling factor calculated for that set in order to generate multiple sets of scaled parameters. The method still further includes transmitting the multiple sets of scaled parameters to the receiver neural network.

  • Patent number: 11388728
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitter may identify a contention window for a no-energy-detection protocol for determining a channel availability for a data transmission. After the contention window expires, the transmitter may send a request message to a receiver. The receiver may measure a quality of the request message against a request threshold and transmit a response message if the measured quality exceeds the request threshold. The transmitter may then measure a quality of the response message against a response threshold. If the measured quality exceeds the response threshold, the transmitter may initiate a data transmission with the receiver. If the quality falls below the response threshold or the response message is not received, the transmitter may adjust the contention window and reattempt the no-energy-detection protocol. The contention window may also be adjusted based on an acknowledgement message received after the data transmission.

  • Patent number: 11337095
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a request that the UE report a predicted future channel state information measurement. Upon receiving the request, the UE may measure, during a first time period, a channel to obtain measured channel state information. The UE may then determine the predicted future channel state information for a second time period based on the measured channel state information. In some case, the second time period may be subsequent to the first time period. Upon determining the predicted future channel state information measurement, the UE may transmit, to the base station, a channel state information report. In some aspects, the channel state information report may be indicative of the predicted future channel state information measurement.

  • Patent number: 11317438
    Abstract: Two-phase floating-instant coordinated multipoint (CoMP) operation is disclosed. The CoMP operation may be initiated by the network via a CoMP cluster of network nodes or by user equipments (UEs) configured for uplink CoMP transmissions. The first phase is initiated after a first node to conduct a successful full listen before talk (LBT) procedure signals the other participating nodes to perform an abbreviated LBT procedure and identifies the beginning of the second phase. After success of the full and abbreviated LBT procedures, each associated node will initiate a first transmission in the first phase. The leading node determines how many of the other nodes are available for transmission and decides, based on that amount and the rules of the network, whether to continue with the CoMP operations. If enough of the other nodes are available, the participating nodes will conduct the CoMP transmissions at the identified beginning of the second phase.

  • Patent number: 11246116
    Abstract: Multiple modulation and coding scheme (MCS) tables for new radio (NR) networks is disclosed. Multiple MCS tables are defined with different sets of MCS values selected for improved performance in various transmission conditions. The multiple MCS tables may be known to base stations and user equipments (UEs) in the network. A serving base station may determine a set of transmission characteristics related to a transmission environment of a UE. The base station selects one of the MCS tables of the multiple MCS tables based on the set of transmission characteristics. The selected MCS table includes MCS values that may provide improved performance for the UE considering one or more of the characteristics of the set of transmission characteristics. The base station will then transmit an indication of the selected MCS table to the served UE.
