  • Publication number: 20240297693
    Abstract: A UE may determine a number of antenna ports associated with a frequency band that includes one or more CCs. The determined number of antenna ports may be based on a plurality of UL Tx chains for the one or more CCs/frequency band. The UE may switch from a first UL Tx chain to a second UL Tx chain, at least one of which may be associated with the one or more CCs/frequency band. The number of antenna ports may correspond to a maximum number of antenna ports of an individual CC of the one or more CCs, or to a sum of antenna ports of the one or more CCs. For the latter, the number of antenna ports may be limited to an available number of UE antenna ports when the sum of antenna ports is greater than the available number of UE antenna ports.

  • Publication number: 20240243821
    Abstract: Aspects are provided which resolve neighbor beam-wise interference. A UE obtains a plurality of reference signals from each of at least one neighbor base station, where each of the reference signals is obtained in a different beam, and each of the neighbor base station(s) is in a different neighbor cell. The UE then measures a signal strength associated with each of the reference signals, and the UE indicates one or more of the reference signals to a serving base station in a serving cell, where the signal strength of each of the reference signal(s) indicated to the serving base station exceeds a threshold RSRP. After the serving base station obtains the indication from the UE, the serving base station coordinates with the neighbor base station(s) to modify one or more transmission parameters in response to the indication.

  • Publication number: 20240237036
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may support two or more uplink switching periods for transmit chain switching. The UE may transmit a UE capability message indicating the UE capability to support a first uplink switching period and a second uplink switching period for transmit chain switching. The first uplink switching period and the second uplink switching period may each correspond to different switching periods associated with configuration switches between different transmit chain configurations of the UE. The UE and a base station may select an uplink switching period from among the first uplink switching period and the second uplink switching period. The UE may transmit an uplink data message to the base station after a preparation time that is based on the uplink switching period.

    Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a location of a UE accessing a network via non-3GPP access to be determined or estimated. In one aspect, a UE establishes a connection with at least one network entity and a non-network connection entity. The UE transmits, to the at least one network entity, an ID of the non-network connection entity when connected to the at least one network entity. The UE receives, from the at least one network entity, a request for a location of the non-network connection entity. The UE transmits, to the at least one network entity, an indication of location information for the non-network connection entity.

  • Publication number: 20240187899
    Abstract: Aspects are provided which improve RLM by allowing a UE to apply a longer monitoring window for out-of-sync determinations before the UE triggers an RLM timer for in-sync determinations. The UE first obtains a reference signal from a base station. The UE then determines multiple groups of consecutive out-of-sync indications in response to the reference signal. For example, the UE may perform looped out-of-sync monitoring, multi-cell or carrier monitoring, or a combination of such monitoring to determine the multiple groups of out-of-sync indications. Afterwards, the UE triggers the RLM timer in response to determining the multiple groups of consecutive out-of-sync indications. As a result, the UE may perform additional out-of-sync monitoring during RLM before proceeding with in-sync monitoring, thus allowing the UE to account for rapid BLER changes (ping-pong effects) that may occur in HAPS systems due to tropospheric turbulence and enabling more accurate RLM determinations and minimal RLF detections.
