TECHNIQUES FOR CARRIER PRIORITIZATION IN MULTI-SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE FEATURES
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) user equipment (UE) may communicate, using a first SIM, on a plurality of component carriers. The multi-SIM UE may select a first subset of component carriers from the plurality of component carriers based at least in part on a component carrier prioritization. The multi-SIM UE may identify an amount of memory available to a second SIM. The multi-SIM UE may tune away, based at least in part on the amount of memory available to the second SIM, from a second subset of component carriers The first subset of component carriers may be different from the second subset of component carriers. Numerous other aspects are described.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING ACTIVATION INDICATOR REGARDING COMPONENT CARRIER IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
A method for supporting activation/deactivation of serving cells by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system provides decreased overhead and decreased power consumption for a user equipment (UE). The method includes configuring M supportable serving cells in the UE, configuring an indicator indicating activation/deactivation of each of the M serving cells, configuring a medium access control (MAC) message which includes a MAC control element (CE) and a logical channel identifier (LCID), the MAC CE including the indicator configured for each of the M serving cells and having a length corresponding to an integer multiple of 8 bits, the LCID indicating that the MAC CE includes the indicator indicating activation/deactivation of each serving cell, and transmitting the configured MAC message to the UE. Accordingly, a control channel or data channel regarding a component carrier is selectively received depending on whether the component carrier is activated.
Bandwidth Part for Multicast and Broadcast Services
A wireless device may receive radio resource control messages indicating, among other things, a bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell, having at least first resource blocks (RBs) and second RBs; common frequency resources, including at least the first RBs of the BWP, associated with a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) configured for wireless devices comprising the wireless device; and a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with the MBS. The wireless device may also receive a group common downlink control information (DCI) addressed to the RNTI via the common frequency resources of the BWP. In an embodiment, the group common DCI may indicate a multicast transmission of a transport block to the wireless device. The wireless device may also start a BWP inactivity timer of the cell in response to receiving the group common DCI.
TERMINAL, RADIO COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND BASE STATION
A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a receiving section that receives configuration information on monitoring capability of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for each serving cell; and a control section that controls derivation of at least one of a first parameter and a second parameter, the first parameter being used for restriction at carrier aggregation on a number of a span-based PDCCH candidates monitoring, the second parameter being used for restriction at carrier aggregation on a number of a slot-based PDCCH candidates monitoring. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, appropriate PDCCH monitoring can be performed even when a span is used.
APERIODIC SRS TRIGGERING AND TRANSMISSION
Methods and apparatuses for associating aperiodic SRS triggering state(s) with SRS resource sets or SRS CC sets are disclosed. A method comprises transmitting an Activation/Deactivation MAC CE to indicate or update the association between aperiodic SRS triggering state(s) and the aperiodic SRS resource set(s) for the SRS request field value carried by DCI format 0_1 or 1_1 or DCI format 2_3 with a higher layer parameter srs-TPC-PDCCH-Group=typeB or the SRS CC set(s) for the SRS request field value carried by DCI format 2_3 with the higher layer parameter srs-TPC-PDCCH-Group=typeA.
COMMUNICATION METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM
Embodiments of this application provide a communication method, apparatus, and system. The method includes: A network device sends first signaling to a terminal device on a downlink primary component carrier, where the first signaling includes configuration information of a secondary cell; the network device sends second signaling to the terminal device; and the network device determines, based on a channel state information CSI report and/or feedback signaling received from the terminal device, that the terminal device successfully activates the secondary cell.
METHOD RELATED TO PHYSICAL UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL CELL SWITCHING AND USER EQUIPMENT
A method related to physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) cell switching and a user equipment (UE) are provided. The method includes: receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message from a base station; determining a PUCCH cell from the first cell and the second cell according to at least one PUCCH cell pattern; and transmitting the PUCCH transmission on the PUCCH cell during the time resource units. The RRC message includes at least one PUCCH cell pattern associated with multiple cell indexes and a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) associated with a first cell and a second SCS associated with a second cell. Each cell index corresponds to a cell, and the PUCCH cell pattern indicates which cell corresponds to one time resource unit used for PUCCH transmission.
TECHNIQUES FOR SIDELINK CARRIER AGGREGATION
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured with a cross-component carrier or cross-beam quasi co-location (QCL) configuration in a sidelink carrier aggregation configuration. For example, a first beam on a first component carrier may be QCLed with a second beam on a second component carrier. The first beam may have a different beam width than the second beam or be in a different frequency range than the first beam, or both. If an application at the UE requests the UE to configure a beam on the second component carrier, the UE may use some parameters used to receive on the first component carrier to communicate using the second beam on the second component carrier.
Dynamic modification of antenna beamforming functionality
Methods and systems are provided for dynamically disabling beamforming functionality of a first frequency band. The first frequency band is determined to have beamforming enabled. The user device is detected as being connected to the first frequency band for access to a wireless telecommunications network. A first fading channel measurement of the first frequency band is determined to be above a threshold. In response to determining that the first fading channel measurement is above the threshold, beamforming of the first frequency band is dynamically disabled.
Use of per-connection frequency bandwidth as basis for dynamic control of air-interface communication with dual-connected device
A method and system for controlling data split of a dual-connected user equipment device (UE) when the UE has at least two co-existing air-interface connections including a first air-interface connection with a first access node and a second air-interface connection with a second access node. An example method includes (i) comparing an aggregate frequency bandwidth of the first air-interface connection with an aggregate frequency bandwidth of the second air-interface connection, (ii) based at least on the comparing, establishing a split ratio that defines a distribution of data flow of the UE between at least the first air-interface connection and the second air-interface connection, and (iii) based on the establishing, causing the established split ratio to be applied. Further the method could include using the comparison as a basis to set one of the UE's air-interface connections as the UE's primary uplink path.
