  • Patent number: 11729049
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some wireless communication systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling from a base station based on an uplink beam failure. The control signaling may indicate one or more uplink beams for uplink communications, and the one or more uplink beams may be decoupled from a downlink beam for downlink communications by the UE. The UE may transmit a feedback message acknowledging the one or more uplink beams for the uplink communications based on receiving the control signaling. The UE may switch from one or more current uplink beams to the one or more uplink beams indicated via the control signaling during a time period after receiving the control signaling. The UE may transmit the uplink communications using the one or more uplink beams based on the feedback message.

  • Patent number: 11728947
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described in which a user equipment (UE) may transmit one or more uplink communications to multiple transmission-reception points (TRPs). Transmission parameters for each repetition may be based on parameters (e.g., a number of antenna ports, a spatial domain filter or beam, a rank or number of layers, or any combinations thereof) that are determined from an indication of whether the repetitions are to use different sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets, and indicated SRS resource of each SRS resource set. The indication may include a same number of bits regardless of whether one SRS resource set is used or multiple SRS resource sets are used, and may be based on a prior configuration of the UE.

  • Publication number: 20230246760
    Abstract: Providing downlink and uplink processing is disclosed for a cooperative user equipment (UE) operations. A UE participating in the cooperative UE may determine a processing capability associated with each cooperative operational mode of one or more cooperative operation modes of which the UE is capable. The UE sends a cooperative capability report to a serving base station that includes identification of the one or more capable cooperative operation modes and the processing capability of the UE associated with the each cooperative operation mode. The base station may then configure the UEs based on this capability information. The UEs would receive a cooperative mode configuration message from the serving base station with the configuration of a cooperative operation mode for the UE. The UE may then conduct cooperative UE communications using the configured mode according to its associated processing capability. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

  • Publication number: 20230246756
    Abstract: Downlink schemes are disclosed for a cooperative user equipment (UE) with joint baseband processing. UEs may establish a cooperative UE unit with one or more neighboring UEs, where one of the UEs operates as the primary UE. The participating UEs of the cooperative UE unit determine a downlink transmission scheme for the cooperative transmissions from a serving base station and receive cooperative transmissions of one or more transport blocks from the serving base station according to the downlink transmission scheme. The secondary UEs of the cooperative UE unit generate and transmit cooperative process data to the primary UE, where the cooperative process data is based on the receipt of the cooperative transmissions by the secondary UEs. The primary UE processes its received cooperative transmission along with the cooperative process data to decode the one or more transport blocks. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
