  • Publication number: 20220217712
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may communicate with a network device in an idle or disconnected state using preconfigured uplink resources (PURs). The UE may transmit uplink data, and may begin to monitor for a PUR response message corresponding to the uplink data after a configurable time offset. The Base station may indicate the configurable time offset in an RRC release message, another message, or the UE may select the configurable time offset from a set of configurable time offsets based on one or more system parameter values. Additionally, the UE may not monitor for PUR response messages after every PUR occasion during which it transmits uplink data.

  • Patent number: 11382007
    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems, devices, apparatuses, products, and methods for wireless communication. A communication system may include a user equipment (UE) that receives a configuration for contention-free random access (CFRA) and a configuration for contention-based random access (CBRA). The UE determines a first random access resource. The first random access resource maps to one or more beams from a target base station. The UE determines a beam quality associated with the first random access resource. The UE initiates a random access request using the CFRA when the first random access resource is a contention-free resource, and the beam quality of the first random access resource is above a threshold beam quality. The UE initiates the random access request using the CBRA when the first random access resource is the contention-free resource, and the beam quality of the first random access resource is below the threshold beam quality.

  • Patent number: 11356962
    Abstract: In aspects, a user equipment (UE) forms groups of overlapping uplink transmissions among component carriers (CCs), and moves in time all uplink transmissions within a group, except an earliest transmission, to align leading edges. The UE then determines, for each uplink transmission, if a joint timeline is satisfied, and allocates total transmission power depending on whether the timeline is satisfied for all uplink transmissions. In aspects, a base station transmits, to a UE, a transmit power configuration that identifies a reserved power for uplink transmissions of cell groups. The base station then transmits, to the UE, an uplink grant or configuration that identifies a transmission power for a cell group in excess of its reserved power, and receives, from the UE, uplink transmissions that exhibit an allocation of total transmission power according to the reserved power and the transmission power for the cell group in excess of the reserved power.

  • Patent number: 11350444
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station and while operating in a dual connectivity mode, an uplink grant in a first subframe of a set of subframes. The uplink grant may schedule transmission of uplink data. The UE may determine a second subframe of the set of subframes to transmit the uplink data and a third subframe of the set of subframes to monitor for feedback associated with transmission of the uplink data. The second subframe and the third subframe may be determined based on combinations of a primary cell time division duplex (TDD) uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration and a DL-reference UL-DL configuration. each of the combinations may have at least three uplink transmission subframes or three downlink monitoring subframes within a ten-subframe cycle. The UE may thus perform wireless communications in accordance with the transmission timelines.

  • Publication number: 20220167282
    Abstract: Power control in new radio (NR)-to-NR dual connectivity communications is disclosed. A UE, compatible for NR-to-NR dual connectivity, may receive a transmit power configuration and a power allocation configuration. The transmit power configuration identifies the designated reserved power for each of the cell groups participating in the dual connectivity communication. The power allocation configuration identifies to the UE whether to operate access to excess transmission power by either mode 1 rules, which may introduce phase discontinuity into ongoing transmissions, or mode 2 rules, which use a look-ahead functionality to trigger joint determination and allocation of transmission power among known uplink transmissions over a given transmission duration. After the determined transmission power allocation has been made, the UE transmits the dual connectivity transmissions according to the determined power.
