Patent №: 12082287 (September 3, 2024) – TCI change enhancement.

The UE determines a time span for using the current TCI state before switching to the new TCI state and then switches states after the specified time span.

Patent №: 12082174 (September 3, 2024) – Cross carrier scheduling(CCS) with different sub-carrier spacing capability reporting(SCS). CCS with different SCS involve generating and sending a message to a base station. This message indicates the user equipment’s (UE’s) CCS capability with varying SCS.

Patent №: 12082160 (September 3, 2024) – V2X frequency and time resource indication signaling. Systems and methods for sidelink communication involve receiving a signal from a second UE on the PSSCH. Decoding it with a scrambling initialization value (Cinit) derived from the PSCCH CRC code. Receiving the transport block (TB) based on the decoded sidelink control information (SCI) stage 2.

Patent №: 12082158 (September 3, 2024) – Sidelink wake-up signal for a wireless device. Techniques for power savings by a wireless device include: receiving sidelink resources from a wireless node; deciding to transmit data to a second device; receiving DRX configuration info for the second device; sending a resources request with this info to the wireless node; receiving a grant; and transmitting the data based on the grant.

Patent №: 12082032 (September 3, 2024) – Reporting interference and noise power fluctuations. A UE reports CSI to a base station. It receives config info for IMRs, measures noise power, and sends a reference CSI report. It then measures CSI reference signals, updates interference and noise data, and sends a final CSI report with either power fluctuations or SINR stats.

Patent №: 12082031 (September 3, 2024) – Measurement enhancement for L1-RSRP. A UE performs Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 3 (L3) measurements. It receives configurations for both types, detects collisions between L3 and L1 reference signals, mutes L1 measurements during these collisions, and adjusts reports to exclude the colliding L1 data.

Patent №: 12082028 (September 3, 2024) – Apparatus, method for user equipment, user equipment and method for network element to configure measurement gap (MG) patterns. An apparatus includes processor circuitry that causes a UE to: encode a message with UE capability information indicating support for concurrent measurement gap (MG) patterns; and transmit the message to the network.

Patent №: 12082017 (September 3, 2024) – Physical downlink control channel monitoring in collocation scenarios. A base station provides a UE with details for monitoring a PDCCH across multiple component carriers (CCs) in a carrier aggregation (CA) scheme. The base station configures the first and second CCs and informs the UE whether they are collocated.

Patent №: 12081493 (September 3, 2024) – Method for enhanced direct secondary cell activation. Some embodiments involve a UE receiving an RRC command from a gNB with SCell configuration data. The UE activates the SCell using the TCI state from the command and receives a PDCCH transmission from the SCell with an antenna beam specified by the TCI state.

Patent №: 12081487 (September 3, 2024) – Systems and methods for signaling scheme for cast-type indication and resource indication. Methods and systems for signaling in wireless communications involve: receiving a first stage SCI format at a first UE from a second UE. Decoding the first stage SCI. Determining and decoding a second stage SCI format based on the first stage. Using this to determine if sidelink feedback is enabled. The second stage SCI may include a distance setting for the communication range.

Patent №: 12081480 (September 3, 2024) – Multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) enhancements for high speed travel. This disclosure covers techniques for wireless communication with rapidly moving user equipment. The UE adapts its communication methods based on its motion, including transmitting and receiving reference signals through additional points or configurations.

Patent №: 12081305 (September 3, 2024) –Beamformed measurement for new radio (NR). Embodiments describe methods and systems for measuring reference signals while a UE uses beamforming for optimal reception. They include techniques for measuring beamformed reference signals and determining reported values when multiple beams are used or receiver diversity is employed.

Patent №: 12081294 (September 3, 2024) – NR MIMO operation enhancement. Embodiments describe a UE establishing a cellular connection by receiving MIMO uplink configuration and SRS resources from a base station. The UE also receives DCI specifying MIMO parameters and performs uplink MIMO communication based on these configurations and parameters.

Patent №: 12082169 (September 3, 2024) – Uplink channel repetition in aggregated slots for full duplex systems.

A method for user equipment (UE) involves receiving scheduling information from a network entity for transmitting a first uplink (UL) channel repetition in a first full duplex (FD) slot.

Patent №: 12081482 (September 3, 2024) – CSI-RS configuration for SBFD. A device with a processor and memory receives control channel transmissions including CSI-RS resource configuration from a network node. It then receives a CSI-RS transmission in an SBFD slot, where the CSI-RS resources cover multiple downlink subbands.

Patent №: 12081337 (September 3, 2024) – Hybrid automatic repeat request feedback with multiple uplink channels. Techniques allow a user equipment (UE) to report multiple feedbacks for the same transport block (TB). If the first decoding attempt fails, the UE can try a second attempt with different antennas and report both results separately. Soft feedback can also be provided to indicate the likelihood of success for the second attempt.

Patent №: 12081248 (September 3, 2024) – Directional digital pre-distortion for inter user equipment interference mitigation. A user equipment (UE) receives configuration for applying directional digital pre-distortion (DPD) to reduce interference. The UE then transmits data to a wireless node using the configured DPD.
