Apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for beam management in multi-TRP scenarios are disclosed. An exemplary method generally includes receiving a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration from at least one base station (BS) for one or more transmission hypotheses, wherein the CSI-RS resource configuration includes CSI-RS resources corresponding to at least a first downlink (DL) demodulation reference signal (DMRS)-port-group and a second DL DMRS-port-group, performing one or more CSI-RS measurements for the one or more transmission hypotheses based, at least in part on the CSI-RS resource configuration, and determining, for each of the one or more transmission hypotheses, a preferred reception beam for communicating with the at least one BS based, at least in part, on the one or more CSI-RS measurements.

Beam management enhancements for multi-TRP scenarios

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for reporting channel state information (CSI) with spatial and time domain compression.

Channel state information (CSI) with spatial and time domain compression

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a wireless user equipment (UE) configured to receive a downlink in a network configured for full duplex communication. The UE receives from the network an indication of a maximum rank of an uplink from an interfering, aggressor UE. The UE measures interference of a signal from the aggressor UE, and based on the measurement, determines one or more rank values for the aggressor UE, less than or equal to the maximum rank. The UE may further determine one or more channel parameters for downlink transmissions the UE receives, corresponding to the determined rank values. The UE then transmits a channel state information (CSI) report that includes an indication of at least one of the one or more rank values for the aggressor UE. The CSI report may further include the determined channel parameters. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Interference rank indication by a victim node in full duplex

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for sending, from an upper layer at a transmitting device to a lower layer at the transmitting device, an indication by which the lower layer determines that a packet is to be transmitted as either an initial transmission or as a retransmission. The lower layer at the transmitting device may then determine a transmission process for transmitting the packet based on the indication, and the transmitting device may transmit the packet in accordance with the transmission process. Because the lower layer may identify whether the packet is to be transmitted as either the initial transmission or the retransmission, the lower layer may adapt the transmission process to improve the chances that the packet is received by a receiving device or to limit overhead.

Assistance signaling for radio link control retransmissions

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus relating to rate matching for new radio (NR) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). In certain aspects, a method includes receiving a rate matching resource (RMR) configuration from a serving cell. The method also includes identifying one or more first resource elements (REs) to be rate matched around at least in part based on a transmission numerology associated with the RMR configuration, wherein the one or more first REs are used for reference signal (RS) transmission in the serving cell or a neighboring cell. The method further includes mapping a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to one or more second REs not including the first REs.

Rate matching for new radio (NR) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)

In a probabilistic amplitude shaping (PAS) system, a distribution matching (DM) component may receive a uniform bit sequence with equal probabilities, which may be converted into symbols with a desired probability distribution (e.g., Gaussian). For example, the probability distribution may use inner constellation points associated with a lower energy and/or power more frequently and outer constellation points associated with a higher energy and/or power less frequently. In general, the DM component may map binary bits to positive amplitudes with a non-uniform distribution according to a DM rate that is based at least in part on a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which may vary significantly in a spatial and frequency selective wireless channel. Accordingly, some aspects described herein relate to configuring DM parameters and codeword and resource mappings in a spatial and frequency selective wireless channel.

Configuration for probabilistic amplitude shaping system on spatial and frequency selective wireless channel

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for precoder matrix quantization for compressed channel state information (CSI) feedback. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a CSI report configuration for frequency domain compressed precoder matrix feedback. The CSI report configuration configures the UE to report, for a plurality of selected beams at a plurality of time domain taps, a frequency domain compression basis vector and a plurality of linear combination coefficients associated with the frequency domain compression. For each of the beams, the UE groups the time domain taps into at least first and second groups. The groups each can have zero, one, or more than one time domain taps. The UE quantizes the corresponding linear combination coefficients and/or frequency domain compression basis vectors based on the grouping.

Precoder matrix quantization for compressed CSI feedback

Wireless communications systems and methods related to multi-transmission-reception point (multi-TRP) precoding matrix indication (PMI) operations are provided. A user equipment (UE) receives a configuration indicating a precoder size parameter for a plurality of transmission-reception points (TRPs). The UE receives, from a first TRP of the plurality of TRPs, a first reference signal. The UE receives, from a second TRP of the plurality of TRPs, a second reference signal, the second TRP being different from first TRP. The UE transmits, to the first TRP or the second TRP, a channel state information (CSI) report including a first feedback component based on the first reference signal and a second feedback component based on the second reference signal, where a combined payload size of the first feedback component and the second feedback component is based on the precoder size parameter.

Overhead reduction for high-resolution multi-transmission-reception point (mult-TRP) precoding matrix indication (PMI)

A method includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE) device, a joint transmission of channel state information (CSI) reference signals (CSI-RS) from a first transmission and reception point (TRP) associated with a wireless network and at least a second TRP associated with the wireless network. The method further includes determining a joint rank parameter associated with the joint transmission and accessing, based on the joint rank parameter, a rank-to-port mapping codebook to determine a port index parameter. The method further includes, after determining the port index parameter, communicating, by the UE device, with one or more of the first TRP or the second TRP. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Joint port selection for multiple transmission and reception points

Techniques and apparatus for configuring differential channel state information (CSI) reporting for high resolution CSI are provided. One technique includes determining a configuration for a user equipment (UE) to use for reporting differential CSI feedback. The configuration includes at least an indication of when the UE is to report differential CSI feedback, and is signaled to the UE. Once received, the UE reports differential CSI feedback according to the configuration.

Procedures for differential channel state information (CSI) reporting

The frequency domain basis may be fed back in a CSI report from a user equipment (UE), with extra overhead and computation cost. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE configured to receive, from a base station, CSI reference signals (CSI-RS). The apparatus may be further configured to receive, from the base station, a configuration including a frequency domain basis restriction indicating a frequency domain basis subset, where the frequency domain basis subset is selected from a frequency domain basis set. The apparatus may be configured to prepare, upon receiving the frequency domain basis restriction, a CSI report based on the CSI-RS and the frequency domain basis subset. The apparatus may be further configured to transmit the CSI report to the base station.

The methods, systems, and devices may enable a user equipment (UE) to receive a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration message that indicates one or more first reference signals from a first node or one or more SRS transmission beams associated with the first node and one or more second reference signals from a second node. The UE may determine an SRS transmission beam for transmitting an SRS signal based on a procedure for determining SRS transmission beams and the one or more reference signals from the first and second nodes. The UE may transmit the SRS signal using the SRS transmission beam.

Sounding reference signal configuration

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may perform distribution matching on at least a first subset of a set of bits, such as the bits of transport block. The distribution matching may include a variable-to-fixed (v2f) distribution matching procedure in which a ratio between a quantity of input bits to output interim symbols for the v2f distribution matching procedure is variable. The distribution matching include evaluating, after each instance of the v2f distribution matching procedure, whether additional bits remain for distribution matching, and if so, whether to perform an additional instance of the v2f distribution matching procedure or an alternative distribution matching procedure on the remaining bits. Corresponding techniques for a receiving device are also described, including distribution dematching techniques based on a v2f distribution dematching procedure.

A wireless transmission device may determine a sequence of amplitude symbols from a sequence of information bits using a distribution matcher (DM) configured for probabilistic amplitude shaping. The device may further apply error correction coding to encode an information block corresponding to at least a portion of the sequence of amplitude symbols. And the device may generate a sequence of output symbols for transmission based on the encoded information block. The device may apply interleaving to one or more of the sequence of amplitude symbols, the information block, the encoded information block, or a combination of the sequence of amplitude symbols and the encoded information block, for the generating of the sequence of output symbols.
