  • Patent number: 11963258
    Abstract: Methods and devices for prematurely terminating a transmission are provided. The method includes that a base station in a machine type communication (MTC) system receives a first data repeatedly uploaded by a terminal in the MTC system. Additionally, the base station determines whether all data blocks included in the first data are successfully demodulated. The first target number of times is a maximum number of times configured by the base station for the terminal for repeatedly uploading the first data. When determining that all the data blocks included in the first data are successfully demodulated before the total number of times of repeatedly uploading the first data reaches the first target number of times, target downlink control information (DCI) is transmitted to the terminal. The target DCI is configured to instruct the terminal to prematurely terminate uploading the first data to the base station.

  • Patent number: 11855763
    Abstract: In NR networks with dynamic TDD operation, two types of cross-link interference (CLI) arise: UE-to-UE and TRP-to-TRP. UE-to-UE CLI measurement and reporting can assist the network in managing CLI. The problem is that, for a cell to be able to measure the CLI reference signal transmitted by UEs in another neighboring cell, the cell needs to know what CLI-RS transmission resources assigned to the UEs in the neighboring cells. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for the exchange of such information between cells. In some embodiments, for example, a gNB sends a request message to a neighboring gNB and the neighboring gNB sends back a response message that includes TDD DL/UL Configurations of its cells and a list of the resources assigned to its UEs for transmission of UE-to-UE CLI reference signal.

  • Patent number: 11855930
    Abstract: TDD configuration may be dynamically and/or semi-statically signaled to user equipment devices by a base station. Semi-static TDD configuration may include: an initial portion for downlink transmission; a flexible portion; and a terminal portion for uplink transmission. TDD structure of the flexible portion may be determined later by transmission of dynamic physical layer configuration information such as downlink control information (DCI) and/or slot format indicator (SFI). (The SFI may be included in a group common PDCCH of a slot.) The downlink portion and/or the uplink portion may include subsets whose nominal transmit direction is subject to override by transmission of dynamic physical layer configuration information.
