Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify an available energy for uplink transmission of a plurality of communication links of the UE. The UE may configure, from the available energy, a first set of energy allocations for the plurality of communication links. The UE may configure a second set of energy allocations for one or more communication links of the plurality of communication links, wherein the second set of energy allocations are allocated from a remainder of the available energy after the first set of energy allocations are allocated. The UE may transmit based at least in part on at least one of the first set of energy allocations or the second set of energy allocations. Numerous other aspects are described.

Techniques for per communication link energy reservation

Aspects of the present disclosure provide wireless communication devices and methods configured to operate with multiple active connections. A user equipment establishes a first active connection associated with a first subscription. The user equipment also establishes a second active connection, simultaneous to the first active connection, associated with a second subscription. The user equipment provides modem information corresponding to connection qualities of the first active connection and second active connection, to an operating system of the user equipment. Furthermore, the user equipment mitigates contention between the first active connection and second active connection by degrading at least one of the first active connection or second active connection in accordance with a decision given by the operating system based on the modem information.

Modem assisted contention handling of multiple active connections in wireless communications

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for generation of an encoded transport block (TB) that includes a number of systematic code blocks (CBs) and a number of parity CBs. The systematic CBs may be transmitted to a receiver, and the receiver may attempt to decode the systematic CBs. In some cases, one or more parity CBs may be transmitted with the systematic CBs, and the systematic CBs may be successfully decoded even in the event that one or more of the systematic CBs are not successfully received. In some cases, a receiver may provide feedback that requests that additional CBs be transmitted to decode the systematic CBs that were received, and it is not necessary to retransmit the missing systematic CBs. In some cases, a quantized value of a number of additional CBs needed to decode the TB may be transmitted.

Feedback techniques for wireless communications

Techniques are described herein to terminate a list decoding operation before its completion based on performing one or more error check processes. A transmitted codeword encoded using a polar code may include one or more error check vectors interspersed with one or more information vectors. Upon receiving the codeword, a decoder may perform a list decoding operation on the received codeword. Upon decoding one of the error check vectors, the decoder may determine whether at least one candidate path used in the successive cancellation list decoding operation passes an error check process based on the error check vector. If no candidate paths satisfy the error check process, the decoder may terminate the list decoding operation. In some examples, the decoder may recheck whether candidate paths satisfy the error check operation at intermediate positions between error check vectors. Such rechecking may occur while decoding information vectors.

Early termination of successive cancellation list decoding

Size ambiguity and false alarm rate reduction for polar codes. A user equipment (UE) may determine a decoding candidate bit sequence for a polar-encoded codeword having a codeword size based on a decoding hypothesis for control information having a particular bit length of multiple different bit lengths for the codeword size. The UE may calculate an error detection code (EDC) value for a payload portion of the decoding candidate bit sequence using an EDC algorithm, and may initialize an EDC variable state with at least one non-zero bit value. Scrambling or interleaving of bits may also be performed prior to, or after, polar encoding and may depend on the bit length. In examples, information bits may be bit-reversed prior to generating an EDC value. In examples, the encoded bits may include multiple EDC values to assist the UE in performing early termination and to reduce a false alarm rate.

Payload size ambiguity and false alarm rate reduction for polar codes

Decoding and encoding methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. One method may include receiving a codeword over a wireless channel, the codeword being encoded using a polar code, identifying a set of repeated bit locations in the received codeword, and identifying a set of bit locations of the polar code used for information bits for the encoding. The set of bit locations may be determined based at least in part on recursively partitioning bit-channels of the polar code for each stage of polarization and assigning portions of a number of the information bits to bit-channel partitions of each stage of polarization based on a mutual information transfer function of respective aggregate capacities of the bit-channel partitions. The method may also include decoding the received codeword according to the polar code to obtain an information bit vector at the set of bit locations, and other aspects and features.

Mutual-information based recursive polar code construction

Aspects of the present disclosure describe a guard band signal for communication on a guard band between a first frequency band utilized by a first radio access technology having a first sub-carrier spacing and a second frequency band utilized by a second radio access technology having a second sub-carrier spacing that is a multiple of the first sub-carrier spacing. The guard band signal includes a symbol that is repeated a number of times equal to the multiple. The guard band signal may be generated and transmitted by a transmitting device. The guard band signal may be received and decoded by a receiving device. The guard band signal is interpretable according to a first numerology of the first radio access technology and according to a second numerology of the second radio access technology.

Non-equal bit allocation for coexistence with scaled numerology systems

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communication devices and methods configured to operate with multiple communication protocols in tune-away operations. Some aspects of the present disclosure may improve the legacy tune-away operations at an access terminal. An access terminal establishes a call utilizing a first communication protocol, tunes away from the call to receive cell signaling utilizing a second communication protocol, and tunes back to the call utilizing the first communication protocol. Following the tuning back, during a first predetermined number of subframes and if the size of a reverse link (RL) packet is smaller than a first packet size and larger than a second packet size, the access terminal forces the RL packet to be a low latency (LoLat) packet.

Apparatus and method for improving data throughput of a tune-away operation in a wireless communication system

Methods and devices are disclosed for implementing opportunistic mobile receive diversity ('OMRD') on a multi-SIM wireless device. The wireless device may receive a request from a protocol stack associated with the first SIM to utilize the second RF resource for receive diversity, and determine whether a protocol stack associated with the second SIM currently has a lower priority than the protocol stack associated with the first SIM. Upon determining that the protocol stack associated with the second SIM currently has a lower priority than the protocol stack associated with the first SIM, the wireless device may grant control of the second RF resource to the protocol stack associated with the first SIM. Granting control may provide, to the protocol stack associated with the first SIM, a capability to enable and disable receive diversity using the first and second RF resources.

Opportunistic mobile receive diversity (OMRD) in a dual-SIM dual-active (DSDA) device

Aspects of the disclosure provide for an access terminal configured to enable communication with two or more wireless communications networks simultaneously. According to some aspects of the disclosure, an access terminal (e.g., dual-SIM access terminal) can be active simultaneously on both networks with reduced interference between transmission and reception. A number of different techniques for mitigating desense on a victim's Rx are illustrated in this disclosure with a GSM aggressor and an EV-DO victim as non-limiting examples. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Dual-SIM wireless communications device and method for mitigating receiver desense in dual-active operation

A method for performing mobile receive diversity may include: enabling a first receive chain associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) to receive one or more signals from a second RAT; receiving second RAT signals on a second receive chain; enabling receive diversity on a modem associated with a second receive chain; generating, by a diversity receiver, a receive diversity signal based on the one or more second RAT signals received by the first receive chain during periods of time the first receive chain does not receive a signal from the first RAT; and outputting the generated receive diversity signal to a decoder for the second RAT.

Enhanced opportunistic mobile receive diversity for dual-SIM dual-active mobile device

The various embodiments include a dual-SIM-dual-active (DSDA) device and methods for implementing robust receive (Rx) processing to resolve radio frequency coexistence interference between two subscriptions operating on the DSDA device. The DSDA device may detect when a subscription (the 'aggressor') de-senses the other subscription (the 'victim') as a result of the aggressor's transmissions, and in response, implement robust Rx processing to mitigate the effects of de-sense on the victim while causing minimal impact to the aggressor.
