A communications apparatus. The RF signal processing device is capable of supporting carrier aggregation and configured to process RF signals. The baseband signal processing device is configured to process baseband signals. The processor is configured to control operations of the RF signal processing device and the baseband signal processing device. The processor further receives a power control signal from a peer communications apparatus, obtains an assigned transmission power which is assigned by the peer communications apparatus for the communications apparatus to transmit a reference signal according to information carried in the power control signal, determines a spectral efficiency estimation value of the communications apparatus and directs the RF signal processing device to transmit the reference signal with a reduced transmission power which is smaller than the assigned transmission power when the spectral efficiency estimation value is smaller than a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
Various examples and schemes pertaining to shared negative acknowledgement (NACK) for groupcast and multicast in New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications are described. An apparatus as a source user equipment (UE) transmits data to two or more destination UEs of a plurality of destination UEs via groupcast or multicast with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). The apparatus then receives a NACK on a single time-frequency resource from at least one of the two or more destination UEs. The single time-frequency resource is shared by the plurality of destination UEs to transmit the NACK to the source UE.
Abstract:
An apparatus determines a code block size (CBS) of information bits contained in a codeword of low-density parity check (LDPC) coding. The apparatus compares the CBS with at least one threshold, determines, based on a result of the comparison, a Kb number and determines a Kp number based on a code rate and the Kb number. The apparatus generates a parity check matrix. An information portion of the parity check matrix is a first matrix formed by M number of second square matrices. M is equal to Kp multiplied by Kb. A total number of columns in the Kb number of second square matrices is equal to a total number of bits of the CBS. One or more matrices of the M number of second square matrices are circular permutation matrices. The apparatus operates an LDPC encoder or an LDPC decoder based on the parity check matrix.

Abstract:
A communications apparatus. A first radio module communicates with a first wireless network and provides wireless communication services in compliance with a first RAT. A second radio module communicates with a second wireless network and provides wireless communication services in compliance with a second RAT. At least two antennas are shared by the first radio module and the second radio module. When the first radio module operates in an idle mode and when the timing of the first radio module performing a first receiving activity coincides with the timing of the second radio module performing a second receiving activity, the second radio module uses the antennas to perform the second receiving activity when a DRX cycle duration of the first radio module in the idle mode is shorter than a DRX cycle duration of the second radio module.
Abstract:
A receive (Rx) UE performs blind detection to decode a first-stage Sidelink Control Information (SCI) in a received signal. The first-stage SCI contains control information for the Rx UE to locate time-and-frequency resources used by a transmit (Tx) UE. The time-and-frequency resources are used to transmit the first-stage SCI and a second-stage SCI via a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) and to transmit data via a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) associated with the PSCCH. The Rx UE locates the second-stage SCI in the time-and-frequency resources based on the first-stage SCI. The second-stage SCI contains additional control information from the Tx UE to the Rx UE for the sidelink V2X communication. The Rx UE decodes the second-stage SCI using at least in part an identifier which identifies the Rx UE as a destination of the received signal.

The transceiver circuit is configured to transmit signals that carry a data unit to another apparatus and receive signals that carry a response from the other apparatus. The baseband processing circuit is configured to provide a first digital stream to carry a data unit to the transceiver circuit for transmission, and provide a second digital stream to carry a portion of the data unit to the transceiver circuit for retransmission when the transceiver circuit receives a response that is indicative of a partial receiving failure of the data unit at the other apparatus.
