GROUP COMMON DCI FOR CLI MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING

This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for grouping common DCI for CLI measurement and reporting. In a first aspect, a UE may receive DCI that is common to a group of UEs that includes the UE. The DCI may be configured to trigger at least one of an SRS transmission or a CLI measurement. The UE may transmit the SRS transmission and/or report the CLI measurement based on the DCI that is common to the group of UEs. In a second aspect, a base station may transmit at least one DCI that is common to the group of UEs to trigger the at least one of the SRS transmission or the CLI report for the group of UEs. The base station may receive the CLI report from at least a subset of UEs in the group of UEs.

Communication apparatus and communication method

A communication apparatus comprises a generator that generates frequency resource position information corresponding to a first information which is based on the communication quality information received from user equipments, the frequency resource position information indicating validity or invalidity of the first information for each frequency resource, and a transmitter that transmits the first information, the frequency resource position information and a cell ID which the frequency resource position is applied, to another communication apparatus via a backhaul.

Linerless labels
11224043 · 2022-01-11 · ·

Linerless labels are presented. A label includes a specific pattern or set of patterns of adhesive applied to one side of the label. The adhesive pattern(s) reduces contact between a cutter blade of a printer and the adhesive on the one side of the label. Moreover, the adhesive patterns reduce buildup of adhesive on the cutter blade and reduce buildup at specific locations on the cutter blade. That is, the adhesive patterns more evenly distribute adhesive buildup across the cutter blade. Consequently, the cutter blade can be used for a longer period of time before the cutter blade needs to be cleaned of the adhesive.

Association of transmission configuration indicator states to physical cell identities

A base station may identify an association between a set of physical cell identifiers (PCIs) identifying different transmission reception points (TRPs) and a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for a user equipment (UE). The base station may transmit a TCI state and PCI association indication to the UE. The UE may receive a downlink transmission using a receive beam associated with a TCI state, and may identify a PCI of the set of PCIs to use to decode the received downlink transmission. In cases where the TCI state used to receive the downlink transmission is associated with multiple PCIs, the UE may select a default PCI from the multiple PCIs, and may decode the received transmission accordingly. In some examples, the UE may receive reference signals from one or more of the serving TRPs and may identify a PCI to use to decode the received reference signals.

User-Equipment-Coordination Set for a Wireless Network
20220006493 · 2022-01-06 · ·

This document describes techniques and apparatuses for a user equipment (UE)-coordination set for a wireless network. In aspects, a base station specifies a set of UEs to form a UE-coordination set for joint transmission and reception of data intended for a target UE within the UE-coordination set. The base station selects one of the UEs within the UE-coordination set to act as a coordinating UE for the UE-coordination set and transmits a request message that directs the coordinating UE to coordinate the joint transmission and reception of the data intended for the target UE. Then, the base station transmits a downlink signal to each UE within the UE-coordination set. Each UE within the UE-coordination set demodulates and samples the downlink signal and then forwards the samples to the coordinating UE, which combines the samples and processes the combined samples to provide decoded data.

A radio communication system includes: a plurality of cells having different scrambling sequences, respectively, wherein at least two cells communicate with at lease two user terminals connected to different serving cells; and a controller which controls the plurality of cells and provides a single scrambling sequence to said at least two cells and said at least two user terminals for control signal transmission and reception.

NETWORK SIGNALING FOR NETWORK-ASSISTED INTEREFERENCE CANCELLATION AND SUPPRESSION

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a cellular communication network that can determine whether communications between one base station-UE pair may interfere with another UE that is in the same cell or a different cell. The network identifies interference parameters associated with interference signals that may be received by a UE. The interference signals may be generated by the base station itself, such as communications with other UEs, or by a neighboring base station. The base station transmits the interference parameters to the UE. The UE receives the one or more parameters comprising information about signals expected to cause intra-cell or inter-cell interference. The UE then processes received signals using the one or more parameters to suppress the intra-cell or inter-cell interference.

MAPPING A CONTROL RESOURCE TO A PHYSICAL CELL

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to enable one or both of a base station or a user equipment (UE) to identify one or more physical cell identifiers (PCIs) for a scheduled communication, using an association between the one or more PCIs and a control resource set (CORESET), for example, used to transmit a grant scheduling the communication. The base station may identify a mapping between one or more PCIs associated with a communication and may transmit, to the UE, a grant scheduling the communication on a CORESET associated with the one or more PCIs. The UE may identify a mapping between the CORESET and the one or more PCIs associated with the communication based on receiving the grant in the CORESET. The UE and the base station may communicate a message scheduled by the grant using parameters associated with the one or more identified PCIs.
