Information transmission and receiving method and device, storage medium and electronic device
Provided are an information transmission and receiving method and device, a storage medium and an electronic apparatus. The information transmission method includes: transmitting at least two pieces of the following information in a multiplexing manner on a physical channel: channel state information (CSI), first control information or data information. The first control information includes at least one of: hybrid automatic retransmission request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information or scheduling request (SR) information.
Dynamic beam pattern control using device velocity
Methods and systems are provided for dynamically adjusting broadcast beam patterns of a wavefront emitted by an antenna array based on the velocities of devices communicatively coupled to the base station associated with the antenna array. The broadcast beam patterns can be adjusted by modifying the broadcast mode or at least one phase, amplitude, or power of the at least one antenna associated with the base station. Adjusting the beam pattern, for example between multiple beams and a single unified beam, based on device types can improve the quality of service for the devices and reduce the processing burden of the base station.
Null-forming based on a self-interference measurement configuration
In an aspect, a network device (e.g., BS, core network component, etc.) determines a self-interference measurement (SIM) configuration associated with null-forming at a wireless device (e.g., UE or BS), the null-forming associated with steering at least one receive beam of the wireless device and/or at least one transmit beam of the wireless device away from one or more external sources of self-interference. The network device transmits the SIM configuration to the wireless device. The wireless device performs at least one null-forming procedure in accordance with the SIM configuration.
METHODS AND DEVICES FOR CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION TRANSMISSION
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for channel state information (CSI) transmission. In example embodiments, a method implemented in a terminal device includes performing a channel estimate between the terminal device and a network device across a predetermined frequency range for a set of beams having different spatial directions; determining, based on the channel estimate, first indication information indicating at least one beam selected from the set of beams and second indication information indicating frequency-related information for the at least one selected beam at a plurality of frequency locations in the predetermined frequency range; and transmitting to the network device the first indication information in a first part of a channel state information (CSI) report and the second indication information in a second part of the CSI report.
FAST BEAM SWITCHING FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
There is disclosed a method of operating a first radio node for a wireless communication network. The method includes determining one or more reception beams based on measurements on reference signaling and performing beam switch to a target reception beam associated to the reception beams based on a beam switch indication received from a second radio node. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.
DETERMINING AN ANTENNA PANEL FOR SIDELINK TRANSMISSION
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for directional transmission/reception of groupcast and unicast communication. One apparatus includes a memory comprising instructions executable by a processor to cause the apparatus to receive a sidelink (“SL”) configuration for SL communication, the SL configuration indicating a SL grant and a physical uplink control channel (“PUCCH”) resource for hybrid automatic repeat request (“HARQ”) feedback. The instructions are executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to transmit a positive acknowledgement on the PUCCH resource based at least in part on the HARQ feedback being disabled.
Determining beam settings for beam management
There is provided mechanisms for determining beam settings for beam management. A method is performed by a first radio transceiver device. The method comprises obtaining information about expected distribution of second radio transceiver devices in a network coverage region of the first radio transceiver device in which the beam management is to be performed. The method comprises determining beam settings for a first set of beams and a second set of beams. The first set of beams and the second set of beams are to be used for the beam management. There are fewer beams in the first set of beams than in the second set of beams. The beams in the first set of beams collectively cover all beams in the second set of beams. The beam settings for the beams in the first set of beams are determined according to the obtained information.
UE-ASSISTED SINGLE FREQUENCY NETWORK (SFN) MANAGEMENT
Aspects of the disclosure relate to radio access networks with a capability to dynamically reconfigure a number of transmission-reception points (TRPs) in a single-frequency network (SFN) based on channel measurements. In one example, a mobile device receives a configuration message including a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, and potentially further including an indication identifying one or more of the TCI states as main TCI states. The message may further include an indication that it includes the plurality of TCI states. The UE receives a downlink traffic channel and demodulates the traffic channel based on only a subset of the TCI states (e.g., the main TCI state (s)). The UE further measures one or more channel parameters corresponding to each TCI state of the plurality of TCI states, and transmits a channel state information report based on the channel parameters. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION REPORTING TECHNIQUES FOR WIDE BEAMS
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a user equipment (UE) may determine wide beam parameters for beamformed communications with a base station based on an identified narrow beam. A UE may receive a reference signal from a base station and identify a narrow beam based on measurements of the received reference signal. Based on the identified narrow beam, the UE may determine a set of wide beam parameters for a wide beam that is to be used for communications between the UE and the base station. The wide beam may have a beam direction that corresponds to a direction of the identified narrow beam, and may have a beam width that is determined as a multiple of a beam width of the identified narrow beam (e.g., x times the beam width of the narrow beam).
PORT SELECTION CODEBOOK ENHANCEMENT
Apparatus and methods are provided for port selection codebook configuration. A user equipment (UE) may decode a channel state information (CSI) report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) from a base station. The CSI-ReportConfig indicates up to L CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) ports for selection by the UE out of P CSI-RS ports configured for measuring and reporting CSI. The UE determines selected CSI-RS ports out of the P CSI-RS ports. The selected CSI-RS ports include the L CSI-RS ports or less. The UE generates a port selection matrix W.sub.1 corresponding to the selected CSI-RS ports. The UE also generates an indication of the port selection matrix W.sub.1 to the base station. The CSI-ReportConfig may further configure the UE to select a subset of frequency basis. The UE determines a selected subset of frequency basis and generates a frequency basis selection matrix W.sub.f corresponding to the selected subset of frequency basis.
