The UE may monitor for and generate feedback for the downlink transmission. The UE may then utilize the bits indicated by the UL grant to transmit the feedback. In some examples, the UE may determine whether the indicated bits are adequate to transmit the feedback for the later downlink transmissions. When the UE determines that the extra bits are not adequate (e.g., there are not enough bits), then the UE may determine to transmit the feedback separate from the PUSCH resources scheduled by the uplink grant.

  • Patent number: 12058720
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving the robustness of a DCI triggered beam update in 5G NR are disclosed herein. A g Node B (gNB) may associate a reference signal to a beam pattern (or beam configuration) and prepare Downlink Control Information (DCI) of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) that includes aperiodic Channel-State Information Reference Signal (AP CSI-RS) information indicating the beam pattern. A user equipment (UE) may decode the DCI, extract the AP CSI-RS information, update the beam pattern of a reference signal based on the AP CSI-RS information, and generate an uplink (UL) feedback message indicating that the PDCCH was successfully decoded by the UE. The gNB may then decode the uplink (UL) feedback message and, in response, update a receive (RX) beam of the gNB to correspond to the beam pattern associated to the reference signal.

  • Patent number: 12057945
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to transmit a transport block multiple times in a set of transmission time intervals (TTIs) of a repetition window to improve the chances that the transport block is received by a receiving device. In some cases, however, the transport block may not be available to be transmitted in the repetition window until after a first TTI of the repetition window. In such cases, the UE may use the techniques described herein to identify appropriate configurations for transmitting the transport block in the repetition window. In particular, the UE may determine whether to use a fixed repetition window or a sliding repetition window for transmitting the transport block based on various factors in an attempt to satisfy latency and reliability constraints associated with the transport block.

  • Patent number: 12047142
    Abstract: Certain aspects provide techniques for precoder matrix quantization for compressed channel state information (CSI) feedback. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a CSI report configuration for frequency domain compressed precoder matrix feedback. The CSI report configuration configures the UE to report, for a plurality of selected beams at a plurality of time domain taps, a frequency domain compression basis vector and a plurality of linear combination coefficients associated with the frequency domain compression. For each of the beams, the UE groups the time domain taps into at least first and second groups. The groups each can have zero, one, or more than one time domain taps. The UE quantizes the corresponding linear combination coefficients and/or frequency domain compression basis vectors based on the grouping.

  • Patent number: 12047168
    Abstract: According to a possible embodiment, a control channel can be received in a first downlink slot. The control channel can contain DCI with a downlink DCI format. The DCI can contain a CSI report trigger that triggers a CSI report. The DCI can schedule PDSCH transmissions repeated a number of times in a set of downlink slots. Each PDSCH transmission of the repeated PDSCH transmissions can be in a separate downlink slot. A CSI report can be generated in response to receiving the CSI report trigger. At least one uplink resource to transmit the generated CSI report can be determined. The at least one uplink resource can be determined based on the number of repeated PDSCH transmissions. The generated CSI report can be transmitted in the determined at least one uplink resource.

  • Patent number: 12047922
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmission and reception method of a radio signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system. According to the present specification, disclosed is a method comprising the steps of: determining whether or not transmission of an uplink radio signal or reception of a downlink radio signal allocated to a terminal is possible on a slot configured to comprise at least one of one or more downlink symbols for downlink transmission, one or more flexible symbols and one or more uplink symbols for uplink transmission; and controlling the transmission of the uplink radio signal or the reception of the downlink radio signal on the basis of the determination. According to the present invention, the terminal can transmit the uplink radio signal even if the configuration of the slot is changed, and thus uplink radio signal transmission omission or unnecessary retransmission of the uplink radio signal can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 12035359
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may perform a random access channel (RACH) procedure with a base station. The UE may receive a message configuring a RACH preamble occasion and an uplink data occasion. The message may be a radio resource control (RRC) message or a system information (SI) message. In some cases, the UE may determine if the RACH preamble occasion, the uplink data occasion, or both are restricted for cancellation based on the message. The UE may determine when to monitor a downlink control channel for dynamic scheduling based on determining which occasions are restricted for cancellation and may transmit a RACH message based on monitoring—or not monitoring—the downlink control channel for dynamic scheduling preempting a RACH occasion. In some other cases, a base station may schedule transmissions to not overlap with configured RACH occasions.
