20230043655 · 2023-02-09 ·

An access point (AP) communicates to one or more stations (STAs) information indicating a set of channels and/or resource units (RUs), corresponding to a wideband basis service set (BSS) for an authorized unlicensed radio local area network (RLAN) using 6 GHz spectrum, which are subject to a lower power spectral density (PSD) level than other portions of the BSS frequency range or are not to be used for transmission. In some, but not necessarily all, embodiments, the AP and the STAs do not encode data on the identified channels or RUs, but do encode data on other channels and/or other RUs, which are not subject to the lower PSD constraint.

POWER CONTROL PARAMETER CONFIGURATION FOR CONFIGURED GRANTS
20230041585 · 2023-02-09 ·

This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems supporting power control parameter configuration for configured grants (CGs). In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling configuring multiple sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets and multiple sets of power control parameters for CG uplink transmission. The UE may receive downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a retransmission and indicating which set of power control parameters the UE is to use for the CG uplink retransmission. In some other implementations, the control signaling may configure multiple SRS resources sets but a single set of power control parameters. The UE may receive DCI activating the CG configuration or scheduling a retransmission, the DCI indicating a second set of power control parameters not configured by the control signaling. The UE may automatically use the power control parameters configured by the control signaling or may determine a second set based on the DCI.

Non-orthogonal design for channel state information reference signals for a 5G air interface or other next generation network interfaces

Channel state information reference signal transmission can be used to estimate channel state information. Although resources needed for channel state information reference signals can be small, when multiple bandwidths are deployed within the same orthogonal frequency division multiplexing bandwidth, estimating the channel state information can comprise a channel state information reference signal resource grid for every bandwidth. Therefore, time-frequency resources for channel state information reference signals can be high and occupy a lot of bandwidth, thereby reducing the number of resources for data transmission. Therefore, a non-orthogonal design for channel state information reference signals for a 5G air interface can mitigate bandwidth loss in a 5G network.

Power control techniques for a communication system that includes a repeater

This disclosure generally relates to systems, devices, apparatuses, products, and methods for wireless communication. For example, a communication system may include a repeater that relays communications between communication devices. The repeater determines a downlink gain value to use for one or more downlink initial access messages received at the repeater. The repeater determines an uplink gain value to use for one or more downlink initial access messages received at the repeater. The uplink gain value is based on the downlink gain value and a noise level related to a channel between the communication device and the repeater. The repeater receives a downlink initial access message, and applies the downlink gain value to the downlink initial access message. The repeater receives an uplink initial access message, and applies the uplink gain value to the uplink initial access message.
