Abstract:
Wireless communications systems and methods related to allocating resource blocks and resource block groups in a system band in order to reduce overhead associated with resource allocation. To reduce overhead, the wireless communication device communicates a signal in a control channel that indicates a general area and a resource block in the general area that stores data. The wireless communication device then communicates multiple resource blocks that include the resource block and communicates the data in the resource block using the signal. To reduce overhead, the wireless communication device also communicates multiple mappings for each resource block group into a set of resource blocks and a signal in a control channel that selects one of the multiple mappings. The communication device then determines resource blocks that are included in the resource block group according to the mapping, and communicates data in these resource blocks.
Abstract:
The various embodiments include a dual-SIM-dual-active (DSDA)device and methods for implementing robust transmit (Tx) processing to resolve radio frequency coexistence interference between two subscriptions operating on the DSDA device. The DSDA device may detect when one subscription (the "aggressor") de-senses the other subscription (the "victim") as a result of the aggressor's transmissions, and in response, implement robust Tx processing to mitigate the effects of de-sense on the victim.
Abstract:
Channel estimation at a user equipment includes estimating channel quality of at least one channel. A first algorithm or a second algorithm is selected based on the estimated channel quality. Channel estimation is performed based on the selected algorithm. The first algorithm may be a midamble multiplication-based algorithm. The second algorithm may be a midamble division algorithm. Channel estimation may also include estimating noise of a channel and adaptively setting a threshold based on the estimated noise to refine the channel estimation. The estimating channel quality, selecting of a first or second algorithm and channel estimation may be performed iteratively for contributing signals on a channel. An adaptive threshold may be modified across iterations. The channel estimation may also include determining a delay profile of a channel to refine the channel estimation.

Abstract:
A method for performing mobile receive diversity may include: enabling a first receive chain associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) to receive one or more signals from a second RAT; receiving second RAT signals on a second receive chain; enabling receive diversity on a modem associated with a second receive chain; generating, by a diversity receiver, a receive diversity signal based on the one or more second RAT signals received by the first receive chain during periods of time the first receive chain does not receive a signal from the first RAT; and outputting the generated receive diversity signal to a decoder for the second RAT.
Abstract:
Methods and devices are disclosed for implementing opportunistic mobile receive diversity ("OMRD") on a multi-SIM wireless device. The wireless device may receive a request from a protocol stack associated with the first SIM to utilize the second RF resource for receive diversity, and determine whether a protocol stack associated with the second SIM currently has a lower priority than the protocol stack associated with the first SIM. Upon determining that the protocol stack associated with the second SIM currently has a lower priority than the protocol stack associated with the first SIM, the wireless device may grant control of the second RF resource to the protocol stack associated with the first SIM. Granting control may provide, to the protocol stack associated with the first SIM, a capability to enable and disable receive diversity using the first and second RF resources.

Abstract:
A control resource region of an New Radio system slot structure may be separated into control resource sets, only some of which may be used for control transmissions. Aspects presented herein improve the efficient utilization of resources by enabling data transmission in resources of the DL control resource region and/or the UL control resource region. A UE receives an indication of a control resource set in a control resource region of a slot that may provide a control channel resource or a data channel resource and performs rate matching for data transmissions in the data channel based at least in part on the indication. The indication may be a semi-static indication, e.g., RRC signaling, of the control resource set.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication at a wireless device. One method includes receiving a control channel and a data channel over a radio frequency spectrum, decoding the control channel, and decoding a packet received over the data channel. The control channel indicates a parameter of a codeblock group (CBG). The parameter of the CBG may indicate at least one of a number of codeblocks (CBs) associated with the CBG, a CBG size, or a combination thereof. The packet may include a set of CBGs. Each CBG of the set of CBGs may be associated with a set of encoded CBs and a CBG-level CRC. The associated CBG-level CRC for each CBG may be based at least in part on the parameter of the CBG. Each encoded CB may be encoded based at least in part on a low-density parity-check (LDPC) encoding scheme.
Abstract:
Interference cancellation at a user equipment includes performing channel estimation for each component of an aggregate received signal using at least one received midamble of at least one time slot. The aggregate received signal is received from at least one Node B. A combined channel is computed for each channelization code based on the channel estimation. A linear transfer function is obtained for all user equipment within a cell. This linear transfer function includes a combined channel for each channelization code. An equalization matrix is derived from the linear transfer function and then applied to the aggregate received signal to obtain the component intended for the user equipment.
