COLLECTING BUFFERED CSI FROM A UE
20230045947 · 2023-02-16 ·

Aspects are provided allowing a base station to configure a UE to accumulate CSI over time for downlink data transmissions, and to transfer the accumulated CSI to a base station in a CSI report in response to a CSI report trigger event, thereby improving efficiency in CSI reporting and subsequent transmission reliability. Initially, the base station configures a CSI report trigger event and sends a plurality of data transmissions to a UE. The UE receives the data transmissions and then identifies the CSI report trigger event. Afterwards, the UE sends a CSI report to the base station including a CSI for each of the data transmissions in response to the CSI report trigger event. The base station may then adjust MCS or other parameters for subsequent data transmissions in response to the CSI report.

A system information indication method and apparatus and a communication system. In the embodiments of this disclosure, by indicating a correspondence between an area related ID or a system information related index and system information, and/or notifying information on a change of the area related ID or system information related index, a case may be avoided where a UE needs still to obtain system information from a network side when system information of a current cell is stored, thereby efficiently lowering power consumption of the UE in acquiring the system information.

Retransmission technique with compressed feedback in a wireless communication system

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for a retransmission protocol that utilizes compressed feedback. Various implementations relate generally to a compressed feedback technique for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). Upon receiving a compressed feedback value, a sending device may generate a retransmission codeblock. The retransmission codeblock may be derived from multiple codeblocks in a set of codeblocks. A receiving device can use the retransmission codeblock to obtain any failed codeblock in the set of codeblocks based on all other previously decoded codeblocks in the set of codeblocks. Thus, the receiving device does not need to indicate which codeblock in the set failed, but only needs to send a compressed feedback value that indicates which sets of codeblocks have had a single codeblock failure.

Channel state information feedback methods and systems

Disclosed are methods, systems and devices for channel state information feedback to facilitate, for example, high-performance beamforming or precoding in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. One example method includes performing multiple transmissions of a channel measurement report on multiple transmission occasions. Another example method includes performing multiple receptions of a channel measurement report on multiple reception occasions, where the multiple receptions at a network node correspond to multiple transmissions from a wireless device. In both exemplary methods, a timing of the multiple transmissions is based on at least one of a number of the multiple transmission occasions, a time gap between adjacent transmission occasions of the multiple transmission occasions, and one or more timeslots that include the multiple transmission occasions.

Systems and methods for transmission of uplink control information over multiple carriers in unlicensed spectrum
11582077 · 2023-02-14 · ·

Wireless communication between a user equipment (UE) and a base station may occur on unlicensed spectrum. When wirelessly communicating on unlicensed spectrum, there is an expectation that there may be interference from others devices also transmitting on the same resources in the unlicensed spectrum. Systems and methods are therefore disclosed that aim to facilitate wireless communication in unlicensed spectrum. In some embodiments, systems and method are disclosed that are directed to the transmission of uplink control information (UCI) in unlicensed spectrum. The UCI may be or include hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. The HARQ feedback may correspond to a downlink data transmission that was also sent on unlicensed spectrum.
