Abstract:
A method and apparatus for operating a satellite access network (SAN) of a satellite communication system to schedule communications with a user terminal. In some aspects, the SAN may provision a communication frame, for the user terminal, into a number of forward-link (FL) subframes and a different number of reverse-link (RL) subframes. The SAN then transmits the FL subframes to the user terminal via a forward link of the satellite communication system, and subsequently receives the RL subframes from the user terminal via a reverse link of the satellite communication system.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for performing channel estimation based on user equipment reference signals.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for transmit power savings comprising determining a rate of a previous frame; determining if a current frame is an ALWAYS-ON frame, wherein the current frame temporally succeeds the previous frame; and either ignoring every other reverse link power control (RLPC) bits received on a forward power control subchannel (F-PCSCH) or applying every RLPC bits received on the F-PCSCH. In one aspect, the apparatus and method for transmit power savings comprising using a rate determination algorithm (RDA) to determine a rate of a previous frame; detecting a pilot gating pattern at the end of the previous frame; comparing the rate of the previous frame to a threshold; determining if a current frame is an ALWAYS-ON frame; and declaring the current frame to be a 0 bps frame and puncturing the F-PCSCH to a predetermined frequency.
Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment, a method of transmitting signals is provided. Signal waveforms are transmitted from at least two respective sectors. The at least two respective sectors are from at least two different sets of a superset of sectors. The transmitted signal waveforms include signal waveforms at least nearly mutually orthogonal at least along a particular signal dimension. An advantage of such an embodiment, for example, is reduced signal interference.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a first downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a downlink transmission at the UE, where the first DCI includes an indication of a first resource allocation for the downlink transmission. The UE may determine that the downlink transmission includes a downlink data message multiplexed with second DCI. The UE may receive an indication of a second resource allocation for the second DCI. The UE may determine a transport block size (TBS) of the downlink data message based on the first resource allocation for the downlink transmission and the second resource allocation for the second DCI. The UE may then process the downlink transmission based on the TBS of the downlink data message.
Abstract:
A configuration to allow for scheduling communication with a UE having associated characteristics based on a timing indication. The apparatus receives, from a UE, a timing indication associated with a bandwidth, a subcarrier spacing, or a waveform. The timing indication identifying a delay duration based on a processing timeline for the UE. The apparatus receives from the UE, or transmits to the UE, a first data channel having the bandwidth, the subcarrier spacing, or the waveform scheduled based on the timing indication. The first data channel is transmitted or received at a first time based on the timing indication.
Abstract:
Aspects relate to configuration of a Layer 1 (L1) measurement report. A radio access network (RAN) node (e.g., a base station) can transmit at least one report setting, each associated with a selected information type, to a wireless communication device (e.g., a UE). The selected information type may be selected from a first information type and a second information type. When a report setting is associated with the first information type, the wireless communication device can transmit the L1 measurement report including both beam measurements and beam identifiers corresponding to the beam measurements for the report setting. When the report setting is associated with the second information type, the wireless communication device can exclude the beam identifiers from the L1 measurement report including the beam measurements for the report setting. Other aspects, features, and examples are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For example, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station, an indication of a capability of the UE to switch from monitoring a set of frequency resources according to a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) to monitoring the set of frequency resources according to a second SCS, less than the first SCS. The indication may indicate an amount of time for the UE to switch between SCSs. The UE may receive, from the base station, signaling that indicates a configuration for monitoring the set of frequency resources according to the second SCS (e.g., a configuration for a reduced SCS window). The UE may switch from monitoring the set of frequency resources according to the first SCS to monitoring the set of frequency resources according to the second SCS based on receiving the configuration for monitoring the set of frequency resources.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may identify an energy per resource element (EPRE) ratio between a synchronization signal block (SSB) symbol containing a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and an SSB symbol containing a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), or both, based on an operating band for the UE, a bandwidth of the SSB symbol containing the PSS and the SSB symbol containing the SSB, the PBCH, or both. The EPRE ratio may be based on maximum regulatory equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) limits, maximum regulatory power spectral density (PSD) limits for the band, or both. The EPRE ratios may be different for different SSB symbols, when different SSB symbols have different bandwidths. A base station may configure and transmit, and a UE may receive, the SSB according to the identified EPRE ratio.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication, by a user equipment (UE), includes receiving, from a first transmission and reception point (TRP) operating in a first band, assistance information comprising collocation information for both a second TRP operating in a second band and a communication node operating in the first band. The method also includes receiving, from the first TRP, configuration information for one or more reference signals (RSs) associated with the communication node. The method further includes communicating with the second TRP based on one or more features of the second band estimated from the one or more RSs.
