Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a coding rate threshold associated with transmitting an uplink control information (UCI) message during a time period, determine whether to reduce a size of the UCI message based on the coding rate threshold, and transmit at least a portion of the UCI message on uplink shared resources allocated for the time period. The UE may determine to reduce the size of the UCI message by dropping portions of the UCI message based on a size of uplink control resources, a size of uplink shared resources, additional parameters signaled to the UE, or some combination of these factors.

A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, obtaining uplink information associated with a plurality of communication devices transmitting wireless signals on a plurality of uplink paths, performing, based on the uplink information, a plurality of measurements of the plurality of uplink paths, identifying a measurement from the plurality of measurements that is below a threshold, and initiating a corrective action to improve a measurement of an affected uplink path of the plurality of uplink paths based on the identifying. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, obtaining uplink information associated with a downlink path, wherein the uplink information includes operational parameters used by a plurality of communication devices for transmitting wireless signals on a plurality of uplink paths; performing, based on the uplink information, a plurality of measurements of the plurality of uplink paths; identifying a measurement from the plurality of measurements that is below a threshold, thereby indicating an affected uplink path of the plurality of uplink paths; initiating a first filtering of the affected uplink path, wherein the initiating is based on the identifying and wherein the first filtering is based upon one or more first filtering parameters; and receiving instructions comprising one or more updated filtering parameters, wherein the instructions are received by the system at a port of the system. Other embodiments are disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to outer loop link adaptation adjustment methods and apparatus. In one example method, a base station obtains at least one piece of channel quality information of a terminal device, determines, based on the at least one piece of channel quality information of the terminal device and channel quality ranges of a plurality of clusters in a cell, a target cluster to which the terminal device belongs, updates a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) error adjustment amount of the target cluster and a channel quality fluctuation parameter of the cell based on the at least one piece of channel quality information of the terminal device, and finally determines an initial value of an outer loop link adaptation (OLLA) adjustment amount of the terminal device based on the SINR error adjustment amount of the target cluster and the channel quality fluctuation parameter of the cell.

A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, obtaining uplink information that describes a configuration for uplink wireless communications by a communication device, wherein the uplink information comprises a first assignment of a first resource block to the communication device for transport of control information as a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); performing a first Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) measurement of the PUCCH; initiating a first corrective action responsive to detecting the first SINR measurement being below a first SINR threshold; and initiating a second SINR measurement of the PUCCH to confirm the second SINR measurement is above the first SINR measurement. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Provided is a base station with which it is possible to appropriately arrange a reference signal. In a base station (100), a control unit (101) determines a second threshold value on the basis of a first threshold value used in determining the arrangement of a reference signal. A transmission unit (105) transmits the reference signal arranged on the basis of the second threshold value.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to dynamically adapting the mapping between spectral efficiencies and channel quality indicators in real-time based on the channel conditions. In some examples, a scheduled entity (e.g., a UE) may maintain two or more predefined tables or other mappings, each including a respective mapping between spectral efficiency threshold values and channel quality indicators for a respective channel type. The UE may then calculate respective weighted sums of the spectral efficiency threshold values across the two or more predefined tables based on the current wireless channel. For example, the UE may estimate the wireless channel and determine respective weights to be applied to the spectral efficiency threshold values across the two or more predefined tables based on the channel estimate. Other aspects, features, and embodiments are also claimed and described.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly to techniques for enhancing packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) duplication, for example, by allowing a user equipment (UE) to autonomously activate/deactivate (uplink (UL)) PDCP duplication. A method that may be performed by a UE includes detecting one or more events related to channel conditions and activating PDCP duplication at the UE in response to the detection. In some cases, the UE may provide a network entity an indication of the PDCP duplication activation/deactivation. In response to the indication, the network entity may, for example, activate/deactivate downlink (DL) PDCP duplication.

Provided are a method, apparatus and system for processing feedback information. The method includes: the first transmission node receiving a signal of a data shared channel, and determining data transmission level indication information of a transport block according to the signal; and the first transmission node transmitting the data transmission level indication information corresponding to the transport block to a second transmission node.

A method that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining, by a system comprising a processor, interference information associated with one or more physical resource blocks (PBS) from each base station of a plurality of base stations. Further, the method can include determining, by the system, from the interference information a strategy for improving a PRB utilization of a first base station of the plurality of base stations. In addition, the method can include conveying, by the system, the strategy to at least one base station of the plurality of base stations. Other embodiments are disclosed.
