  • Patent number: 11882458
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station of a first network operator (OP) may determine a priority for the first OP for a transmission opportunity of a shared or unlicensed channel. The priority may be lower than a priority of a second OP for the transmission opportunity. Base station may transmit a tentative grant to a user equipment (UE) of the first OP scheduling transmissions over resources of the transmission opportunity. The transmitting device of the first OP may monitor a contention window for reservation signals communicated by devices of the second OP. Based on the monitoring and the tentative grant, the transmitting device of the first OP may perform the transmission over the resources of the shared or unlicensed channel.

  • Patent number: 11881920
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor for a first transmission of a first service type (e.g., enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)) and a second transmission of a second service type (e.g., ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC)). The UE may identify a feedback codebook size for the first service type. The UE may multiplex a first feedback codebook having the identified feedback codebook size and generated for the first transmission with a second feedback codebook generated for the second transmission. Multiplexing the first and second feedback codebooks may produce a multiplexed feedback codebook. In some cases, the UE may perform the multiplexing based on a feedback multiplexing condition being satisfied. The UE may transmit the multiplexed feedback codebook in a control channel (e.g., a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH)) or a shared data channel (e.g., a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)).

  • Publication number: 20240023064
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may operate in an idle mode in which the UE does not actively monitor for incoming transmissions. In some cases, the network may probe the idle UE by sending a paging early indication (PEI), which may trigger the UE to monitor paging occasions for incoming data. If the UE does not receive the PEI on the first PEI occasion, the UE may continue to monitor subsequent PEI occasions. However, the UE may stop monitoring subsequent PEI occasions once the data has been received. Accordingly, the network may indicate a stop trigger implicitly or explicitly to the UE. In some cases, the stop trigger may be an indication in a short message or downlink control information (DCI). Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may stop monitoring after receiving any downlink transmission.

  • Patent number: 11877319
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For example, a first communication device may receive, from a second communication device, control signaling triggering a channel access procedure at the first communication device. In some case, the channel access procedure may be for accessing the shared radio frequency spectrum. The first communication device may then perform the channel access procedure based on the control signaling. In some examples, the first communication device may, based on the channel access procedure, transmit an indication of a channel occupancy initiated by the first communication device to the second communication device. The first communication device may relay communications between the second communication device and a third communication device during a channel occupancy time (COT) based on the transmitted indication of the channel occupancy initiated by the first communication device.

  • Patent number: 11876748
    Abstract: A base station may identify an association between a set of physical cell identifiers (PCIs) identifying different transmission reception points (TRPs) and a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for a user equipment (UE). The base station may transmit a TCI state and PCI association indication to the UE. The UE may receive a downlink transmission using a receive beam associated with a TCI state, and may identify a PCI of the set of PCIs to use to decode the received downlink transmission. In cases where the TCI state used to receive the downlink transmission is associated with multiple PCIs, the UE may select a default PCI from the multiple PCIs, and may decode the received transmission accordingly. In some examples, the UE may receive reference signals from one or more of the serving TRPs and may identify a PCI to use to decode the received reference signals.
