  • Patent number: 11683767
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for synchronizing an end of an exchange of frames during a transmission opportunity (TXOP) with a target synchronization time using a synchronization short inter-frame space (SynSIFS) before a transmission by a wireless communication device that controls the medium. The wireless communication device obtains control of the medium for the TXOP by completing a CCA procedure. An exchange of frames during the TXOP includes transmissions from the wireless communication device and responses from other devices while the wireless communication device controls the medium. A duration of the SynSIFS may be adjustable at a microsecond granularity. Accordingly, the wireless communication device may select a duration of the SynSIFS that allows alignment of the end of the exchange with the target synchronization time. The wireless communication device also may adjust a number of symbols in the transmission from the wireless communication device.

  • Patent number: 11683821
    Abstract: In general terms, network resource allocation takes place within a wireless communication channel in which resource is defined with respect to time and frequency; a resource allocation process involves joint allocation of resource for communication to and from group of devices, to enable a cyclic exchange of information between the devices and a base-station and thus to enable wireless closed loop control of the device. By jointly allocating resources in one go, overheads are reduced thereby providing a more efficient resource allocation mechanism. Furthermore, bundled transmissions are scheduled, including repetitions of transmissions to increase the likelihood of transmission success. By determining a minimum bundle length required to meet a predefined threshold for received signal quality, the reliability of the transmissions can be ensured.

In one preferred embodiment, hybrid of bandwidth part (BWP) and power profile is proposed. UE is configured with multiple BWPs and each BWP includes a set of power profiles. Two types of adaptation triggering can be used, a first type of trigger is based on power saving signals sent from the network, and the second type of trigger is based on timers. When the traffic characteristic for UE changes, the network can send a power saving signal to UE to trigger power profile adaptation, e.g., BWP+power profile switching. When traffic has been digested and becomes sporadic, then power profile adaptation can be triggered based on timers, e.g., a timer for BWP adaptation and another timer for power profile adaptation.

  • Patent number: 11617143
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a sidelink synchronization signal and may identify a set of parameters (e.g., cyclic shifts or orthogonal cover codes) that are configured for generating a set of reference signals for transmission within a sidelink broadcast resource based on receiving the sidelink synchronization signal. The UE may transmit, within the sidelink broadcast channel resource, a first reference signal of the set of reference signals that is generated based on applying, to a reference signal sequence, a first parameter of the set of parameters that is orthogonal to a second parameter of the set of parameters that is applied to the reference signal sequence to generate a second reference signal of the set of reference signals.

  • Patent number: 11611961
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit uplink (UL) messages in unlicensed spectrum with a reduced UL timing delay. The UL timing delay may be reduced by using a shortened transmission time interval (TTI) (e.g., a TTI that is reduced in duration relative to other TTIs in the system or in a legacy system) or by reducing the number of TTIs between a grant and the corresponding UL message. The reduced UL timing delay may decrease the likelihood that the UE will wait for a subsequent transmit opportunity (TxOp) to transmit the UL message. In some cases, the reduced UL timing delay corresponds to a reduced hybrid automatic repeat request (HARM) processing delay. In some cases, a time difference (e.g., measured in TTIs) between a measurement reference TTI a corresponding channel state information (CSI) report may also be reduced.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device (base station or UE) may receive an indication of a listen before talk (LBT) gap for sharing a channel occupancy time (COT), the COT being acquired by another wireless device (base station or UE), and detect whether a slot within the COT is occupied by the other wireless device, the slot occurring prior to the LBT gap. The wireless device may also, responsive to detecting that the slot is occupied by the other wireless device, perform an LBT procedure during the LBT gap, and, responsive to a successful LBT procedure, transmit a signal to the other wireless device within the COT.

  • Patent number: 11601244
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A control resource set (CORESET) may be configured to support multiple transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state control channels. Space division multiplexing (SDM) may be implemented to enable multi-TCI states by using multiple ports and layers. A certain layer and demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port may be associated with a certain TCI state. For orthogonal ports, resources elements (REs) may be assigned such that a first set of REs are assigned to the first DMRS port and a second set of REs are assigned to the second port. The multiple DMRS ports may be code division multiplexed (CDM'd) within an RE such that multiple DMRS ports may be associated with the same RE. For non-orthogonal ports, the same RE may be used for multiple TCI states, where scrambling sequences may be applied to DMRSs associated with the TCI states.
