Patent number: 11950263Abstract: A user equipment (UE) transmits concurrent channel state information (CSI) processing capability information to a base station. The capability information can take various forms, and is intended to constrain the base station in the types of CSI requests that can be made to the UE. For example, the UE may indicate different CSI processing capabilities for intra-CC and inter-CC cases and/or for different codebook types. The UE may also specify supported combinations of codebook types for concurrent CSI reporting. The UE may also specify maximum resources or weighting factors for different codebook types. The UE may further restrict the rank information it provides and use a priority rule for “dropping” CSI report data due to payload size restrictions. The base station may direct, or the UE may implement, improved utilization of CSI resources that are shared for multiple concurrent CSI reports. Minimum time requirements for CSI reporting may also be relaxed.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Chunhai Yao, Chunxuan Ye, Dawei Zhang, Ghaith N Hattab, Haitong Sun, Hong He, Ismael Gutierrez Gonzalez, Oghenekome Oteri, Wei Zeng, Weidong Yang, Yeong-Sun Hwang, Yuchul Kim, Yushu Zhang

Publication number: 20240097746Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for multi-TRP by a UE, including out of order delivery of PDSCH, PUSCH, and/or DL ACK/NACK. The UE may receive, from a base station, a configuration that may include multiple control resource set (CORESET) pools and each CORESET pool may be associated with an index value. The UE may determine that at least two DCIs of the multiple DCIs end at a common symbol and determine, based on one or more predetermined rules, when the UE may be scheduled to receive PDSCHs, transmit PUSCHs, and/or transmit ACK/NACKs from CORESETs associated with the at least two DCIs.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Haitong Sun, Yushu Zhang, Wei Zeng, Dawei Zhang, Yuchul Kim, Hong He, Weidong Yang, Chunhai Yao, Chunxuan Ye, Oghenekome Oteri, Ismael Gutierrez Gonzalez, Ghaith N.

Patent number: 11895689Abstract: An electronic device may receive, from a radio node, a measurement configuration associated with a wireless communication system. In response, the electronic device may perform measurements using narrow beam patterns based at least in part on a network configuration, where the narrow beam patterns are narrower than a wide beam pattern of the electronic device. Furthermore, performing the measurements using the narrow beams pattern may include performing a beam-pattern search up to the network configuration. Then, the electronic device may perform an SCell activation procedure of an SCell with the radio node. Note that the SCell activation procedure may include reporting, to the radio node, CSI of a narrow beam pattern of the SCell that is to be activated, where the narrow beam pattern is narrower than the wide beam pattern of the electronic device, and the narrow beam pattern is based at least in part on the measurements.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2020Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Rui Huang, Zhibin Yu, Qiming Li, Jie Cui, Yeong-Sun Hwang, Yang Tang, Andre Janssen

Publication number: 20240022309Abstract: Systems and methods for control signaling for beam searching latency reduction are disclosed herein. A g Node B (gNB) may determine that a first Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) and a second SSB are to be spatially correlated and may select a first transmit (Tx) beam to transmit the first SSB and a second Tx beam to transmit the second SSB accordingly. The gNB may also transmit a correlation message including spatial correlation information to help a UE determine the spatial correlation. The UE may measure the first SSB on a first subset of a plurality of receive (Rx) beams and measure the second SSB on a second subset of the plurality of Rx beams, and select an Rx beam for one or both. In some embodiments, channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) that are quasi co-located (QCLed) with a given SSB may be measured in place of the SSB.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Yushu Zhang, Chunhai Yao, Chunxuan Ye, Dawei Zhang, Fangli Xu, Haijing Hu, Haitong Sun, Hong He, Wei Zeng, Weidong Yang, Yeong-Sun Hwang, Yuchul Kim, Yuqin Chen
