CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION FEEDBACK FOR MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION RECEPTION POINTS
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to support communication between a base station and a user equipment (UE) via multiple transmission reception points (TRPs). The base station may configure the UE to report a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) for various transmission modes, including one or more transmission modes for multiple TRPs. The UE may determine and report first PMI to the base station for each single TRP transmission mode, and the base station may use the first PMI to determine a precoding matrix for each TRP. The UE may determine and report partial PMI to the base station for the one or more multi-TRP transmission modes. The base station may use respective partial PMI to determine a precoding matrix for each multi-TRP transmission mode and may communicate with the UE using the determined precoding matrix or matrices.
Frequency Hopping in Multiple Transmission and Reception Points
A wireless device receives one or more configuration parameters indicating a mapping pattern that indicates a cyclical mapping of spatial domain transmission filters to physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitions. The wireless device receives a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling repetitions of a PUSCH transmission, where the DCI comprises a frequency hopping field set to one and indicates a frequency offset. Based on the frequency hopping field being set to one and the mapping pattern indicating the cyclical mapping, the wireless device sequentially transmits, starting from a first resource block, a first repetition of the PUSCH transmission using a first spatial domain transmission filter and a second repetition using a second spatial domain transmission filter; and sequentially transmits, starting from a second resource block, a third repetition using the first spatial domain transmission filter and a fourth repetition using the second spatial domain transmission filter.
TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATE ACTIVATION FOR MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION RECEPTION POINTS
Methods, systems, and devices for signaling for transmission configuration indication (TCI) state activation for multiple transmission reception points are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive at least one control message indicating a first set of beam configurations associated with a first downlink shared channel from a first transmission reception point (TRP) and a second set of beam configurations associated with a second downlink shared channel from a second TRP. The UE may receive downlink control information (DCI) from the first and second TRPs indicating a first beam configuration of the first set of beam configurations and a second beam configuration of the second set of beam configurations, respectively. The UE may subsequently decode a first downlink transmission from the first downlink shared channel according to the first beam configuration and a second downlink transmission from the second downlink shared channel according to the second beam configuration.
TECHNIQUES FOR MODIFYING UPLINK COMMUNICATIONS TO AVOID MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
Aspects described herein relate to detecting maximum permissible exposure (MPE) events and/or reporting the MPE event, related metrics, associated requests for beam switching or new time division duplexing (TDD) patterns, etc. In an aspect, a MPE event can be detected on at least one component carrier (CC) of multiple CCs configured with a first cell in inter-band carrier aggregation (CA), and one of a MPE report or a beam switching request can be transmitted to a second cell on a different CC of the multiple CCs. In another aspect, the cell can detect the MPE and can transmit, to the device, a beam switching command to switch to a new beam for uplink communications. In another aspect, the cell can transmitting, to another cell having another CC of the multiple CCs configured with the device, an indication to perform beam switching for the device.
ASSIGNMENT FOR CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION REPORTING ON PHYSICAL UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A receiving device (such as user equipment (UE)) may receive a downlink grant including an indication to report channel state information. The receiving device may identify, based on the downlink grant, a number of channel state information processing units associated with reporting the channel state information, and may determine that an available number of channel state information processing units is less than the number of channel state information processing units. In some cases, the receiving device may allocate, based on the determining, a set of channel state information processing units including the available number of channel state information processing units and one or more additional channel state information processing units. The receiving device may then transmit the channel state information report based on the set of channel state information processing units.
