METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING OR RECEIVING DOWNLINK CHANNEL FROM MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION RECEPTION POINTS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
A method and a device of transmitting or receiving a downlink channel from multiple transmission and reception points in a wireless communication system is disclosed. A method of receiving a downlink signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include repeatedly receiving a downlink control channel including same downlink control information (DCI) in at least one transmission occasion (TO) from at least one transmission reception point (TRP); and based on the DCI including control information related to downlink signal reception, based on a time offset between a specific TO of the at least one TO and a receiving timing of a downlink signal related to the DCI being less than a predetermined threshold, receiving the downlink signal from a single TRP based on a default transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state and the default TCI state may be a TCI state related to a search space set or a control resource set (CORESET) having a lowest identifier in a latest slot that the terminal monitors.
APERIODIC MEASUREMENT CONFIGURATION
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for aperiodic measurement configurations. In one aspect, delaying transitioning of a secondary cell group (SCG) to an active state until a next synchronization signal block (SSB) or periodic reference signal may result in an excessive delay in obtaining network resources of the SCG. Some aspects described herein enable a base station (BS) to transmit signaling using a master cell group (MCG) cell to schedule resources for an aperiodic reference signal transmission and measurement using the SCG. For example, the BS may transmit signaling to a user equipment (UE) to identify a reference signal resource for an aperiodic reference signal transmission and measurement. In this case, the BS may transmit the aperiodic reference signal using an SCG cell, and the UE may measure the aperiodic reference signal and provide a report identifying the measurement of the aperiodic reference signal.
PILOT TONES IN DISTRIBUTED RESOURCE UNIT (DRU) TRANSMISSION
This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for increasing the transmit power of wireless communication devices operating on power spectral density (PSD)-limited wireless channels. Some implementations more specifically relate to pilot tone designs that support distributed transmission. A transmitting device may modulate a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) on a number (M) of tones representing a logical RU associated with the legacy tone plan and may further map the M tones to M noncontiguous subcarrier indices associated with a wireless channel. The transmitting device may transmit the PPDU, over the wireless channel, with a number (N) of pilot tones each having a respective location relative to the M tones as mapped to the M noncontiguous subcarrier indices. In some implementations, the relative locations of the N pilot tones may be different than relative locations of a number (K) of pilot tones associated with the logical RU.
DEMODULATION REFERENCE SIGNAL BUNDLING FOR SIDELINK COMMUNICATIONS
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first wireless device may establish a sidelink communications link with a second wireless device. The first wireless device may transmit, to the second wireless device, an indication of a capability to support a configuration for phase continuity between multiple physical channel transmissions of the sidelink communication link. The first wireless device may transmit one or more physical channel transmissions, which each may be associated with a set of one or more demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) to the second wireless device in accordance with the indicated configuration for phase continuity between the physical channel transmissions. The second wireless device may determine channel parameters associated with the one or more physical channel transmissions based on a joint channel estimation associated with the one or more sets of DMRSs.
METHOD AND DEVICE IN NODES USED FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
The present disclosure provides a method and device in a node for wireless communications. A first node determines a first resource set and a first resource set group out of M resource sets; monitors a first-type channel in the first resource set group in a first time window. Any two of the M resource sets are overlapped in time domain, and the first resource set group comprises the first resource set; any of the M resource sets is connected to one or two spatial states; a reference resource set is any of the M resource sets different from the first resource set; whether the reference resource set satisfies a first condition is used to determine whether the reference resource set belongs to the first resource set group. The above method avoids the performance loss incurred by UE's unnecessary dropping the monitoring on some PDCCH candidates.
METHOD FOR MONITORING TRACKING REFERENCE SIGNAL AND RELATED DEVICE
A method for a user equipment (UE) of determining a tracking reference signal (TRS) resource set availability is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station (BS), a TRS configuration that indicates one or more TRS resource sets for the UE to monitor reference signals; determining whether a Layer 1 (L1)-based availability indication for the one or more TRS resource sets is received from the BS; and determining the one or more TRS resource sets are unavailable when the UE determines that the L1-based availability indication has not been received from the BS.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BEAM DIRECTIONAL NULLING FOR SRS-BASED DATA BEAMS
An apparatus in a wireless communication system is configured to perform a method for directional beam nulling of SRS-based data beams. A base station (BS) includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to transmit a data beam to at least one user equipment (UE). The processor is also configured to configure the data beam to have a null area in a direction of a satellite earth station (ES), the null area defining a space within a coverage area of the data beam in which a signal from the data beam is suppressed. The data beam is configured by: generating one or more steering vectors to the ES; obtaining a UE channel matrix via a sounding reference signal (SRS) and determining a rank value; and generating a beamforming precoder configured to directional null the data beam in the direction of the ES.
