Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for generating a capability message indicating a first coherence capability of a first frequency, a second coherence capability of a second frequency, and an uplink (UL) transmission (TX) switching coherence capability, transmitting the capability message to a base station, receiving UL scheduling information for transmitting first UL data using the first frequency and second UL data using the second frequency, and transmitting at least one of the first UL data or the second UL data based on the UL scheduling information and based on at least one of the first coherence capability, the second coherence capability, or the UL TX switching coherence capability.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may mitigate self-interference and intermodulation products caused by communicating over two carriers in order to improve measurements of a third carrier. The UE may determine a measurement configuration to determine the quality of the third carrier. The measurement configuration may include identifying time periods with no scheduled uplink transmissions, time periods with a transmit power below a power threshold, time periods with frequency locations with an expected lower intermodulation interference, or time periods with a scheduled reference signal transmission (e.g., a synchronization signal (SS) block). The UE may also reduce a transmit power for a time period or drop a scheduled uplink transmission in order to perform more accurate measurements on the third carrier. In some cases, a base station may schedule a measurement gap for the UE to perform the measurements.
Abstract:
Techniques for signaling carrier bandwidths supported by a user equipment (UE) for carrier aggregation are disclosed. A UE may be configured with a plurality of carriers for carrier aggregation. Each carrier may have one carrier bandwidth of a set of possible carrier bandwidths. The set of possible carrier bandwidths may be dependent on a band in which the carrier belongs. Multiple combinations of carrier bandwidths for the plurality of carriers may be possible. The UE may identify at least one supported carrier bandwidth combination for the plurality of carriers. Each of the supported carrier bandwidth combinations may include a particular carrier bandwidth for each configured carrier. The UE may send signaling indicative of the at least one supported carrier bandwidth combination. The UE may thereafter communicate on the plurality of carriers based on a carrier bandwidth combination selected from the supported carrier bandwidth combination(s).
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a plurality regulation requirement parameters corresponding to an unlicensed carrier, where the unlicensed carrier spans at least a portion of a first unlicensed band associated with a first set of regulation requirements and at least a portion of a second unlicensed band associated with a second set of regulation requirements. The UE may identify, from the plurality of regulation requirement parameters, a set of regulation requirement parameters for an uplink transmission based at least in part on whether a set of frequency resources for the uplink transmission overlaps with the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band. The UE may transmit the uplink transmission using the set of regulation requirement parameters.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine that uplink communications are to be performed between the UE and a first cell group associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) and between the UE and a second cell group associated with a second RAT. The UE may determine that the UE is configured for power sharing for the uplink communications with the first cell group associated with the first RAT and the second cell group associated with the second RAT. The UE may calculate, based at least in part on the power sharing and the uplink communications, a power reduction factor for the uplink communications between the UE and the second cell group. The UE may perform the uplink communications with the first cell group and selectively perform the uplink communications with the second cell group.
Abstract:
A method, computer-readable medium, and apparatus operate to reduce or eliminate interference with one or more other communication systems having specific transmission requirements within a specific geographic area. For example, aspects operate by determining that a user equipment (UE) is in a protection zone where additional transmission requirements apply. The additional transmission requirements enable coexistence with one or more other communication systems in the protection zone. The UE may identify, based on being in the protection zone and a coexistence mode, one or more transmit emission limit requirements to be met. The UE may identify, based on being in the protection zone and the coexistence mode, one or more maximum transmit power requirements to be met. The UE may configure a transmit output power, at which the UE can meet the one or more transmit emission limit requirements and the one or more maximum transmit power requirements.

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines to change a mode of operation from a first signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) mode to an increased SNR mode, sends channel quality information (CQI) to a base station indicating an ability to receive data at the increased SNR, and receives the data from the base station according to a higher order modulation and coding scheme (MCS) corresponding to the increased SNR when the base station is capable of providing the data at the higher order MCS..
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for signaling reduced user equipment (UE) feature support in wireless networks. A UE may retrieve a performance capability of the UE in relation to a feature of a wireless communication system for which a minimum performance capability is specified by a wireless communication standard. The UE may accordingly signal to a base station a capability of the UE to support the wireless communication feature at a reduced level that is below the minimum performance capability specified by the wireless communication standard, and communicate with the base station using the feature at the reduced level based on an indication from the base station.
