Publication number: 20230042538Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing capability signaling design for 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) release 15 (Rel-15) and/or release 16 (Rel-16) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) enhancement. For example, systems and methods are provided implementing designs for New Radio (NR) MIMO channel state information (CSI) for a small bandwidth part (BWP) and/or a small number of subbands. For example, some aspects relate to a user equipment (UE) including a transceiver configured to communicate with a base station and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor receives, from the base station, a CSI reporting configuration message. The processor determines, using the CSI reporting configuration message, that a number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) of a BWP associated with the CSI reporting configuration message is less than a threshold number. The processor also generates and transmits a CSI report for the BWP.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2020Publication date: February 9, 2023Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Haitong SUN, David NEUMANN, Dawei ZHANG, Ghaith N.

Patent number: 11570782Abstract: 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: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: 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: 20230025057Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for using group based reporting for beam management in a 5G wireless communications system. A user equipment (UE) can determine based on a signal-to-interference-plus noise ratio (SINR) or reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement, a ranking of two or more beam combinations, and transmit the ranking to a 5G node B (gNB). The UE can receive from the gNB, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) codepoint that identifies a combination of two or more beams, where the TCI codepoint is based at least on the ranking. The UE can receive simultaneous transmissions via the combination, and transmit a report to the gNB that identifies by the TCI codepoint, SINRs that corresponds to the combination. In some embodiments the UE can simultaneously transmit on a second combination identified by a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator (SRI) codepoint.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2020Publication date: January 26, 2023Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Haitong SUN, Chunhai YAO, Chunxuan YE, Dawei ZHANG, Hong HE, Jia TANG, Oghenekome OTERI, Pengkai ZHAO, Tianyan PU, Wei ZENG, Wei ZHANG, Weidong YANG, Yeong-Sun HWANG, Yuchul KIM, Yushu ZHANG
