Patent №: 12058741 (August 6, 2024) – Coverage enhancements in NTN.

In an NTN, a UE decodes a timing value based on its distance to the farthest UE. It encodes PRACH, PUSCH, and content resolution communications with repetitions based on this value and decodes a RAR with repetitions also determined by this value.

Patent №: 12058727 (August 6, 2024) –  Systems and methods for overriding grants for CSI-feedback. Systems and methods for controlling overrides of grants for CSI feedback are provided. A UE manages the override of a first radio resource grant by a second grant when they overlap. The UE determines the physical layer priority based on whether the grants involve CSI feedback transmission over PUSCH to a base station.

Patent №: 12058701 (August 6, 2024) – Scheduling of control signaling on a primary cell by a secondary cell. A base station configures two search spaces for monitoring control signals: one in a special cell (SpCell) with a first search space ID (SSID) and one in a secondary cell (SCell) with a second SSID. It sends an RRC configuration to a UE, instructing it to monitor the first search space for a first type of control signaling and the second search space for a second type.

Patent №: 12058689 (August 6, 2024) – Reducing the overhead of tracking reference signal (TRS) configurations for idle/inactive user equipments (UES). To reduce signaling overhead for TRS configuration in idle and inactive UEs, an approach removes redundant information, consolidates multiple configurations into one, reduces field sizes, and shares fields. Another method uses an SIB message for TRS configurations of specific beams.

Patent №: 12058573 (August 6, 2024) –  Delay requirements determination for handover with primary secondary cell. A method for a user equipment (UE) involves obtaining a processing delay for handover (HO) with a primary secondary cell (PSCell) and performing the HO procedure based on this delay.

Patent №: 12058549 (August 6, 2024) –  Systems and methods for UE coordination based CSI feedback. Systems and methods enable coordinated CSI measurement and reporting. The first or second UE can perform CSI measurement, but only the first UE reports CSI to the base station.

Chunxuan Ye

System Engineer at Apple.

Patent №: 12058741 (August 6, 2024) – Coverage enhancements in NTN.

Indicating repetitions at a UE in an NTN involves decoding a communication with a timing value based on the distance to the farthest UE. The PRACH, RAR, PUSCH, and content resolution communications are encoded or decoded with repetitions determined by this timing value.

Patent №: 12058727 (August 6, 2024) – Systems and methods for overriding grants for CSI-feedback. In an NTN, a UE decodes a timing value based on distance to the farthest UE. It encodes or decodes PRACH, RAR, PUSCH, and content resolution communications with repetitions based on this timing value.

Patent №: 12058710 (August 6, 2024) – Procedures for enabling simultaneous transmission of different types. Systems enable simultaneous transmission of various protocols. A WTRU receives configuration info and a data packet, determines the transmission type based on the info and conditions, and transmits the packet. Transmission types include network-scheduled, WTRU-scheduled, LTE, NR, unicast, groupcast, and broadcast.

Patent №: 12058701 (August 6, 2024) – Scheduling of control signaling on a primary cell by a secondary cell. A base station configures a first search space in a special cell (SpCell) and a second search space in a secondary cell (SCell) for monitoring control signaling. It sends an RRC configuration to the UE with both SSIDs, instructing the UE to monitor the first search space for one type of control signaling and the second search space for another.

Patent №: 12058647 (August 6, 2024) – Configured grant transmission rules. A network device (e.g., UE, gNB) processes or generates a configured grant (CG) transmission based on a logical channel. It selects an uplink (UL) or supplementary UL (SUL) for the CG transmission on an uplink channel, using a consistency test to check for interference or collisions.

Patent №: 12058549 (August 6, 2024) – Systems and methods for UE coordination based CSI feedback. Systems and methods enable coordinated CSI measurement and reporting. Either the first or second UE measures CSI, but only the first UE reports it to the base station.
