11606781 · 2023-03-14 · ·

Method and apparatus for configuring a triggering condition of a beam failure event and a communication system. The method includes: a network device configures a UE with one or more control channel monitoring groups, so that when the UE detects that all beams to which a monitoring group corresponds fail in transmission, the UE reports beam failure event of the monitoring group fails in transmission; wherein, each monitoring group corresponds to one or more pieces of downlink control information (DCI). By configuring regarding the triggering conditions of the beam failure events, detection and report of beam failure in more complex scenarios may be supported, such as a scenario where one piece of DCI is transmitted in multiple control resource sets, and a scenario where multiple pieces of DCI are transmitted in one control resource set, etc.

Wide band tunable transceiver

A transceiver having a transceiver including a down-converter for converting a radio-frequency (RF) input signal to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal with an analog low latency bypass path coupled to the IF signal and configured to provide a low latency IF signal. There is a digital path coupled to the IF signal and configured to provide a digitally processed IF signal, and an up-converter for converting at least one of the low latency IF signal and the digitally processed IF signal to an RF output signal. In a further example, the down-converter and the up-converter convert to millimeter wave frequencies and filters the millimeter wave frequencies with cavity filters comprising quartz.

Data transfer with multiple threshold actions

One example may include transmitting data between a client device and a server over a first channel, determining an error rate on at least one of the first channel and a second channel not mirrored with the first channel, when the error rate crosses a first error rate threshold then mirroring the first channel and the second channel, and when the error rate is between the first error rate threshold and a second error rate threshold that is different than the first error rate threshold, determining whether to continue mirroring or discontinue the mirroring of the first channel and the second channel.

CHANNEL ACCESS IN UNLICENSED SPECTRUM

Channel access in unlicensed spectrum may be a function of the type of physical channel and/or a procedure that initiated a transmission. An LBT procedure may be performed as a function of beam management. A WTRU may access a channel using multiple channel access methods associated with multiple uplink transmissions based on a determination of persistent interference associated with the channel. Channel access methods may be performed with different parameters or characteristics based on the resource type/timing of the transmission/measurements of DL/UL RS. Channel access methods may be characterized by a sensing duration, an ED threshold, a beam width, and/or a beam direction. Different ED thresholds may be applied as a function of one or more characteristics of an applicable beam. Multiple sensing methods and/or related parameters may be applied as a function of the type of physical channel and/or the type of procedure associated with a transmission.
