  • Publication number: 20240080851
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) that activates periodic channel state information (CSI) reporting via uplink shared channel transmissions (e.g., via physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions). The UE may then identify a trigger condition that triggers a transmission of both a first instance of a CSI report and a second instance of the CSI report within a period of the periodic CSI reporting. Based on the satisfaction of the trigger condition, the UE may transmit the first instance of the CSI report via a first uplink shared channel transmission and the second instance of the CSI report via a second uplink shared channel transmission, where both uplink channel transmissions are within the period of the periodic CSI reporting.

  • Patent number: 11924127
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may receive a control signal that triggers the UE to transmit one or more SRSs of an SRS resource set, where the SRS resource set spans multiple slots, and to receive configuration information that includes timing information for transmission of the one or more SRSs relative to a timing of receipt of the control signal. Additionally, the described techniques provide for a UE to receive a control signal that indicates an SRS beam management configuration that identifies at least a first SRS resource set and a second SRS resource set that are linked together such that the UE may determine a transmit beam for an SRS resource of the second SRS resource set based on an additional transmit beam for a corresponding SRS resource of the first SRS resource set.

  • Patent number: 11917603
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and apparatus for encoding repetitions of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). In some aspects, the disclosed methods or techniques include first determining that a first number of REs of a first PUCCH repetition used for UCI transmission is different than a second number of REs of a second PUCCH repetition used for the UCI transmission. Based on the determination, the UE performs one or more actions to provide a same mother polar code length for generating coded bits for each of the first and second PUCCH repetitions. The UE performs polar code encoding of information bits of the UCI for the first PUCCH repetition and the second PUCCH repetition based on the same mother polar code length. The UE transmits the first and the second PUCCH repetitions including the respective polar-encoded UCI.
