  • Publication number: 20260205968
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for multiplexing and prioritization techniques for uplink signaling and non-serving cell synchronization signals. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) and a network entity may support a prioritization rule according to which the UE and the network entity may enable uplink multiplexing with a set of non-serving cell synchronization signal blocks (SSBs). For example, an uplink signal and a set of non-serving cell SSBs may be scheduled for the UE and may at least partially overlap in time and the UE may prioritize one of the uplink signal or the set of non-serving cell SSBs in accordance with the prioritization rule. The prioritization rule may be associated with a scheduling offset of the uplink signal or may be associated with whether the set of non-serving cell SSBs are indicated for measurement at the UE.

  • Publication number: 20260205848
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling that identifies a set of candidate cells associated with a mobility procedure at the UE, where the control signaling indicates a quality metric associated with a first communication link between the UE and the set of candidate cells. The UE may additionally obtain, for one or more candidate cells of the set of candidate cells, a respective first measurement corresponding to the first communication link and a respective second measurement corresponding to a second communication link between the UE and the set of candidate cells. Accordingly, the UE may transmit a mobility report that indicates a subset of candidate cells of the set of candidate cells in accordance with obtaining the control signaling, where the respective first measurement of each candidate cell of the subset of candidate cells satisfies the quality metric.

  • Publication number: 20260206066
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, via a serving cell served by a network entity, a first control message that indicates a first random access channel (RACH) configuration associated with a candidate cell and a second RACH configuration associated with the candidate cell.

  • Patent number: 12684492
    Abstract: In a wireless network, a user equipment (UE) may be unable to determine a default path loss reference signal associated with an uplink transmission if the uplink transmission is transmitted using abeam associated with a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state and/or the uplink transmission and/or a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) scheduling the uplink transmission is associated with a repetition configuration. In such cases, depending on a type associated with the uplink transmission, the UE may determine the default path loss reference signal based on the repetition configuration associated with the PDCCH and/or a TCI state for an uplink control channel or uplink reference signal. Accordingly, the UE may perform an uplink power control operation for the uplink transmission using the default path loss reference signal determined based on the repetition configuration associated with the PDCCH and/or the TCI state for the uplink control channel or uplink reference signal.

  • Patent number: 12683721
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE).

  • Patent number: 12684621
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for full-duplex communications using shared radio frequency spectrum. An uplink user equipment (UE) may be scheduled for an uplink transmission in a full-duplex channel occupancy time (COT), concurrently with one or more downlink transmissions of a downlink UE using the same wireless resources. Prior to transmitting the uplink communications, the uplink UE may perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure, may provide an indication that LBT has passed, and then transmit the uplink communication. The network entity may monitor for the indication from the uplink UE and, upon detection, may continue to transmit a downlink grant to the downlink UE. If the network entity does not detect a signal from the uplink UE, it may transmit a different uplink grant to a different uplink UE, or may adjust the downlink transmission to use different resources or transmission parameters.

  • Publication number: 20260197822
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network entity may allocate two resource pools for user equipments (UEs) to perform self-scheduled uplink transmission to the network entity. For example, the network entity may allocate a first uplink resource pool for uplink control information (UCI) and a second uplink resource pool for the UE self-scheduled data transmissions (e.g., physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communications that carry data). A UE may transmit a UCI message via a resource of the first uplink resource pool that reserves or schedules a resource of the second uplink resource pool for a PUSCH communication. Accordingly, the network entity may perform blind-decoding on the resources of the first resource pool but may refrain from performing blind decoding on the resources of the second resource pool.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Various aspects relate to mechanisms according to which a user equipment (UE) may manage multiple resource allocation requests in UE-initiated beam reporting. Some aspects more specifically relate to a timer that restricts resource allocation requests associated with UE-initiated uplink beam reporting. Some aspects more specifically relate to mechanisms according to which the UE operates in scenarios in which conditions associated with downlink and uplink UE-initiated beam reporting are satisfied within a threshold duration of each other. Some aspects more specifically relate to one or more mechanisms according to which the UE operates in scenarios in which the UE transmits a first resource allocation request associated with a first type of UE-initiated beam reporting and detects, prior to receiving a corresponding resource grant, that a condition associated with a second type of UE-initiated beam reporting is also satisfied.
