11523297 · 2022-12-06 · ·

The present disclosure relates to apparatus and methods of signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR)-based group beam reporting. In particular, this disclosure relates to measurement report configurations for initiating a protocol layer 1 (L1)-SINR based group beam report, and corresponding measurement resource transmissions by a base station and measurement and reporting actions of the UE to report the L1-SINR for each of at least two beams that can be simultaneously received. The measurement report configurations include a channel measurement resource (CMR) configuration, an interference measurement resource (IMR) configuration, or both. The measurement configuration may indicate a plurality of CMR repetition sets, or N resource sets of 1 CMR resource plus N−1 IMRs, e.g., 1 CMR mapped to N−1 IMRs, or N×(N−1) resource sets of a CMR and an IMR, e.g., 1 CMR mapped to 1 IMR, where N is the number of candidate Tx beams.

Sidelink measurements in V2X communication

Methods and apparatuses in a wireless communication system. A method of operating a user equipment (UE) includes storing a previous layer 3 (L3) filtered measurement result; receiving L3 filtering configuration information including a first filter coefficient value (k) and a first filtering window value; identifying a generation time instance of the previous L3 filtered measurement result; identifying the first filter coefficient value (k) and the first filtering window value included in the L3 filtering configuration information; in response to receiving a latest measurement result from a lower layer, determining whether the generation time instance of the previous L3 filtered measurement result was obtained within a time window that is a function of a first time instance and a second time instance; and performing an L3 filtering operation to trigger a measurement report based on a result of the determination.

Low noise amplifier saturation mitigation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive signaling from a base station and may pass the signaling through one or more low noise amplifiers (LNAs) at a receiver of the UE. The UE may determine a saturation threshold at the one or more LNAs is exceeded. The UE may transmit an indication to the base station that the saturation threshold is exceeded. The base station may send additional signaling to the UE whose content, schedule, or configuration is responsive to the indication that the saturation threshold is exceeded. The UE may process the additional signaling using a digital linearizer at a receive chain of the UE. A base station may indicate an LNA saturation state to a UE in advance. The UE may respond to the indication (e.g., by setting LNA and digital linearizer states to accommodate predicted saturation).

SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE AND MAXIMUM PERMITTED EXPOSURE MITIGATION

Systems for performing radiation exposure monitoring that accommodate operating in multiple frequency bands are provided. A WTRU may be configured to monitor radiation exposure by determining an averaged power over an evaluation period. The radiation may be measured over a moving averaging window. The averaged measured power may be compared against SAR or MPE limits which may be defined in terms of normalized fractions or ratios in dB. The WTRU may be configured to measure for an averaged power periodically and/or in response to triggers.

Memory sub-system for decoding non-power-of-two addressable unit address boundaries

A system generating, using a first addressable unit address decoder, a first addressable unit address based on an input address, an interleaving factor, and a number of first addressable units. The system then generating, using an internal address decoder, an internal address based on the input address, the interleaving factor, and the number of first addressable units. Generating the internal address includes: determining a lower address value by extracting lower bits of the internal address, determining an upper address value by extracting upper bits of the internal address, and adding the lower address value to the upper address value to generate the internal address. Using an internal power-of-two address boundary decoder and the internal address, the system then generating a second addressable unit address, a third addressable unit address, a fourth addressable unit address, and a fifth addressable unit address.

Channel state information configuration and reporting for ultra reliable low latency communication

The present disclosure provides techniques configuring channel state information (CSI) reporting for certain service types, such as the ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) service type. In some cases, a UE may obtain information regarding a first set of channel state information (CSI) reporting configurations for a first service type separate from a second set of CSI reporting configurations for a second service type, receive a first downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a CSI report for the first service type on at least one physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), generate at least one CSI report for the first service type based on one of the first set of CSI reporting configurations selected based on a field in the DCI, and transmitting the CSI report for the first service type on the PUSCH.
