  • Patent number: 11382121
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for reliable control signaling, for example, in New Radio (NR). A receiver in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive one or more physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmissions comprising downlink control information (DCI). The WTRU may determine a transmission profile associated with an uplink control information (UCI). Based on the transmission profile, the WTRU may determine one or more transmission characteristics associated with the transmission of the UCI. The WTRU may transmit the UCI over a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The UCI may be transmitted using transmission characteristics determined by the WTRU. The WTRU may transmit the UCI based on at least one of a control resource set (CORESET), a search space, or a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI). The WTRU may determine a transmission profile differently based on what the UCI may comprise.

  • Patent number: 11382050
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for distinguishing between an antenna of a user equipment (UE) being blocked by a cover or by human tissue. The transmission power of uplink signals may be adjusted accordingly, with higher transmission power for open space (OS) or a cover and lower transmission power for tissue. One example method for wireless communications by a UE generally includes receiving a plurality of cross-polarization captures from multiple antenna arrays of the UE; detecting that the cross-polarization captures correspond to a first OS circle in an in-phase/quadrature (IQ) plane out of a set of possible OS circles for the UE; based on the detection, assigning the first OS circle as an active OS circle for the UE and deactivating other possible OS circles in the set; determining an environmental scenario corresponding to the active OS circle; and transmitting a signal using a transmission power based on the determined scenario.

  • Patent number: 11375459
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive configuration information indicating a master cell group (MCG) maximum power value and a secondary cell group (SCG) maximum power value. The UE may determine whether a combination of the maximum power values satisfies a threshold. The UE may perform a transmission on the SCG using a first transmit power and a transmission on the MCG using a second transmit power, wherein, based on the combination of the MCG maximum power value and the SCG maximum power value satisfying the threshold, the first transmit power is determined based on a time offset, or wherein, based on the combination of the MCG maximum power value and the SCG maximum power value failing to satisfy the threshold, the first transmit power is determined without using the time offset. Numerous other aspects are described.
