Combining Or Distributing Information Via Time Channels Patents (Class 370/336)
  • Patent number: 12089253
    Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for a shared channel occupancy time (COT) procedure in a wireless channel of unlicensed spectrum. The shared COT can be utilized among one or more user equipment (UE) and a 5G Node B (gNB). A UE contends for access to the channel to acquire the COT, and transmits in the uplink (UL) according to the UEs time-domain configuration. When the UL transmission does not utilize the entire COT, the UE can signal to the gNB that the COT can be shared. In particular, the UE transmits an indication of a COT boundary that the gNB can use to determine when to transmit DL data in the shared COT. The COT can also be shared between two or more UEs in addition to the gNB.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for an on-demand measurement gap for inter-frequency radio resource management (RRM) measurements. A method for wireless communications by a base station (BS) includes configuring a user equipment (UE) in the serving cell for measurement of target cell (s) and with an on-demand measurement gap configuration for measuring the target cell (s). Neighbor cells in a same frequency can coordinate to align synchronization signal block (SSB) or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) transmission and provide timing information of the aligned SSB or CSI-RS transmission to a cell in a different frequency. A method by a UE includes receiving an on-demand measurement gap configuration from a serving cell co and measuring target cell (s) based on the measurement gap configuration.

  • Patent number: 12047220
    Abstract: A central challenge in next-generation 5G/6G networks is achieving high message reliability despite very dense usage and unavoidable signal fading at high frequencies. To provide enhanced fault detection, localization, and mitigation, the disclosed procedures can enable an AI model (or an algorithm derived from it) to discriminate between faulted and unfaulted message elements according to signal quality, modulation parameters, and other inputs. The AI model can estimate the likelihood that each message element is faulted, and predict the most probable corrected value, among other outputs. The AI model can also consider the quality of a demodulation reference used to demodulate the message, and the quality of the associated error-detection code. The AI model can also consider previously received messages to the same receiver, or messages of a similar type. Fault mitigation by the receiver can save substantial time and resources by avoiding a retransmission. Many other aspects are disclosed.

The capability message may indicate a capability of the UE to monitor a defined number of resources across a set of component carriers (CCs) within a time period. The resources may be channel measurement resources (CMRs) or interference measurement resources (IMRs) for signal to interference plus noise measurement, reference signal (RS) resources for channel state information (CSI) measurement, beam failure detection (BFD), reference signal receive power (RSRP) measurement, link quality monitoring, or different active beams. Based on the capability of the UE, the base station may transmit a monitoring configuration to the UE that indicates a set of resources or active beams for the UE to monitor in the set of CCs. The UE may monitor the defined resources or beams received in the monitoring configuration from the base station.

  • Patent number: 12047875
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station on multiple component carriers (CCs) in a carrier aggregation (CA) configuration. The base station may transmit an indication to the UE that identifies a new power mode (e.g., a power mode adjustment) that the UE is to implement. The power mode may identify communication parameters that the UE is to adjust. The UE may determine a delay for applying the new power mode on the CCs. The delay may provide the UE time to activate or deactivate components or elements based on the new power mode. In some examples, the UE may determine the delay based on one or more selected CCs and then apply the delay across the CCs. The UE may implement the power mode on one or more (or all) of the CCs following the delay.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for determining a number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates and non-overlapped control channel elements (CCEs) for a UE configured with a plurality of component carriers having more than one subcarrier spacing (SCS). The plurality of component carriers are assigned to a number of cell groups. Each cell group includes a scheduling component carrier providing scheduling information for the other component carriers in the cell group. A reference slot window is selected based on an SCS of component carriers assigned to each cell group. And a number of PDCCH candidates and non-overlapped CCEs per the reference slot window are determined based on a number of and SCS of the component carriers in each cell group. Control information in a downlink radio frame is monitored by the UE based on the number of PDCCH candidates and non-overlapped CCEs.
