Abstract:
A wireless device may receive a radio link control (RLC) protocol data unit (PDU) from a lower layer (e.g., from a media access control (MAC) layer) when processing communications (e.g., packets) received from another wireless device. The receiving wireless device may identify that the PDU is an RLC service data unit (SDU) segment based at least in part on an indication corresponding to a sequence number associated with the RLC SDU segment. The receiving wireless device may then determine that the RLC SDU segment is received out of order based on previously received PDUs or previously received RLC SDU segments, and initiate a reassembly timer based on the out of order determination for the RLC SDUs. If the remaining RLC SDU segments (e.g., that complete the RLC SDU) are received before reassembly timer expires, the wireless device may reassemble the RLC SDU to be passed to a higher layer.
Abstract:
In High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) communications in a Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) system (called TD-HSDPA), the payload of two High-Speed Shared Information Channels (HS-SICHs) may be bundled into one HS-SICH channel by reusing the unused uplink synchronization shift (SS) for power control purposes. Thus, the HS-SICH spreading factor (SF) 16 code channel overhead may be reduced by 50%.
Abstract:
Some techniques and apparatuses described herein provide an indication of a result of decoding a two-step random access channel (RACH) message and an action to be performed by a user equipment (UE). For example, some techniques and apparatuses described herein may provide the indication using a UE contention resolution identity-based approach, wherein the contention resolution identity of the UE may be provided in a random access response. Some techniques and apparatuses described herein may use a fallback indicator that indicates the result of decoding and/or the action to be performed. Some techniques and apparatuses described herein may use a random access response (RAR) subheader that selectively omits a random access preamble identifier based at least in part on the result of decoding and/or the action to be performed.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may directly send small data to a disaggregated base station without performing a random access procedure. The CU-CP may provide a list of routing identifiers and corresponding data resource bearers (DRBs) to a distributed unit (DU) and the DU may transmit a connection release message to the UE. The connection release message may include the list of routing identifiers and the list of DRB identifiers. The connection release message may also include a downlink monitoring timer. The UE may identify data for an uplink transmission and a DRB associated with that data. The UE may transmit a packet with the data and the routing identifiers to a DU, which may derive downlink address information from the routing identifiers and forward the data to a CU-UP of the aggregated base station.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for signaling for transmission configuration indication (TCI) state activation for multiple transmission reception points are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive at least one control message indicating a first set of beam configurations associated with a first downlink shared channel from a first transmission reception point (TRP) and a second set of beam configurations associated with a second downlink shared channel from a second TRP. The UE may receive downlink control information (DCI) from the first and second TRPs indicating a first beam configuration of the first set of beam configurations and a second beam configuration of the second set of beam configurations, respectively. The UE may subsequently decode a first downlink transmission from the first downlink shared channel according to the first beam configuration and a second downlink transmission from the second downlink shared channel according to the second beam configuration.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a response message associated with a random access message, wherein the response message includes an identifier of the UE; select a format of an uplink channel or an uplink signal for acknowledging successful decoding of the response message; determine a transmit power for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment (ACK) information based at least in part on at least one of: a message type of the response message, a mode of random access associated with the random access message, a power control configuration used by a previous transmission of the random access message, or the format of the uplink channel or the uplink signal; and transmit the HARQ ACK information using a power control procedure based at least in part on the transmit power. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, devices use machine learning (ML) models to support wireless communications. For example, a user equipment (UE) may download ML model information from a network to determine an ML model. The network may additionally configure a status reporting procedure, a fallback procedure, or both for the ML model. In some examples, based on a configuration, the UE may transmit a status report to a base station according to a reporting periodicity, a UE-based trigger, a network-based trigger, or some combination thereof. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may determine to fallback from operating using the ML model to operating in a second mode based on a fallback trigger. In some examples, to restore operating using a downloaded ML model, the UE may download an updated ML model or receive iterative updates to a previously downloaded ML model.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, information that configures multiple random access channel (RACH) partitions, wherein the multiple RACH partitions are each associated with a respective combination of one or more RACH features. The UE may select, from the multiple RACH partitions, a RACH partition based at least in part on the UE satisfying one or more criteria for the combination of one or more RACH features associated with the RACH partition. The UE may transmit, to the base station, a preamble on physical RACH (PRACH) resources associated with the RACH partition to initiate a RACH procedure supporting the combination of one or more RACH features associated with the RACH partition. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communication utilizing a modulation and coding scheme that selectively or dynamically applies probabilistically-shaped coding (PCS) to modulate a transmitted waveform. A communication device may determine whether to apply PCS. If PCS is to be applied, the device can encode the message based on a systematic code; and if PCS is not to be applied, the device can encode the message based on a non-systematic code. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a capability message indicating support for multiple configured grant small data transmission (CG-SDT) configurations and may receive one or more downlink messages that collectively indicate a downlink bandwidth part (BWP), an uplink BWP and a set of CG-SDT configurations based on transmitting the capability message. Each CG-SDT configuration may be associated with respective time and frequency resources for use in one or more CG-SDTs. The UE may transition out of a radio resource control (RRC) connected state based on receiving the one or more downlink messages. The UE may transmit an initial CG-SDT that includes a common control channel (CCCH) message using time and frequency resources associated with one or more of the set of CG-SDT configurations based on comparing the respective time and frequency resources associated with the each of the CG-SDT configurations.
