  • Patent number: 11888665
    Abstract: A system and method of communicating sounding reference signals (SRSs) in a cellular time division duplex (TDD) mmWave system. A transmission point (TP) may transmit beamformed reference signals to a user equipment (UE), each of the beamformed reference signals having been transmitted according to a beam direction in a set of beam directions available to the TP. The TP may receive a feedback message from the UE that identifies one of the beamformed reference signals transmitted to the UE. The TP may select, from the set of beam directions available to the TP, a subset of beam directions for SRS reception based on the feedback message received from the UE, and receive uplink SRS signals according to beam directions in the subset of beam directions. The set of beam directions available to the TP includes at least one beam direction that is excluded from the subset of beam directions.

  • Patent number: 11889479
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may transmit a control channel such as a PDCCH using one or more control resource sets (CORESETs). A CORESET may be associated with a number of different transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states which may specify information that a UE may use to receive the PDCCH. In some cases, the UE may identify an association between resources of the CORESET and a number of TCI states assigned to a CORESET using various different multiplexing techniques, such as time division multiplexing (TDM). Some associations between the resources of the CORESET and the TCI states may include a mapping of the resources of the CORESET to the different TCI states. The UE may decode the PDCCH based on the different TDM techniques used to configure the CORESET.

  • Patent number: 11777586
    Abstract: Methods and a wireless communication device for carrying out beam failure recovery include, according to various implementations, using a beam failure recovery request media access control-control element (BFRR MAC CE) to transfer beam failure recovery information (e.g., from one node of a wireless network to another—such as from a mobile wireless communication device to a base station (BS)). The BFRR MAC CE may include one or more of: the reference signal (RS) type (i.e., the type of RS resource), the identity of the RS resource, the identity of a frequency location (e.g., the identity of a bandwidth part in cases where bandwidth part (BWP) is used), and the identity of the serving cell.

  • Patent number: 11765698
    Abstract: An electronic device that communicates with a second electronic device is described. During operation, an electronic device communicates first messages with the second electronic device in time slots corresponding to first channels in a first band of frequencies using a peer-to-peer communication protocol (such as neighbor awareness networking or NaN), where, in a given time slot, a given first channel in the first band of frequencies is used in the communication of the first messages. Moreover, the electronic device communicates second messages with the second electronic device in the time slots corresponding to second channels in a second band of frequencies using the peer-to-peer communication protocol, where, in the given time slot, a given second channel in the second band of frequencies is used in the communication of the second messages. Note that the communicating of the first messages and the second messages may at least partially overlap in time.

  • Patent number: 11757600
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for measurement without gaps for narrow bandwidth part (BWP) hopping. A user equipment (UE) may measure one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) while performing BWP hopping according to a hopping pattern. The UE may receive data and measure an SSB in a same frequency hop during a same measurement window without a gap. A base station (BS) may transmit a control message to the UE to configure an active BWP for the UE, a set of measurement windows, a hopping pattern, and a set of SSBs that occur within a set of frequency hops to support the measurement without gaps. The active BWP may be defined for measurement purposes to reduce ambiguity. The control message may support alignment of a measurement window with an active frequency hop to support measurement without gaps.
