Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for handling collisions between PUSCH and sounding reference signal (SRS) on additional SRS symbols in an uplink subframe using carrier aggregation. The techniques provide rules that a user equipment (UE) may apply to decide if and when to drop or apply power scaling to SRS or PUSCH transmissions scheduled on overlapping time resources.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may group multiple carriers with transmission time intervals (TTIs) having different durations into different physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups. The UE may reserve power per each PUCCH group. Alternatively, the UE may reserve power per each TTI duration across the one or more PUCCH groups.
Abstract:
Some aspects described herein reduce the negative performance impact associated with the voltage droop of a user equipment (UE) battery. For example, aspects described herein may be used to configure a UE with a pattern that includes a battery recovery time period that prevents a battery voltage of the UE from falling below a critical threshold and/or reduces the likelihood of the battery voltage falling below the critical threshold. In this way, UE performance may be improved, battery performance may be improved, battery life may be extended, and/or the like.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that support dynamic transient period configurations for shortened transmission time intervals (sTTIs). A transient period may be configured within uplink transmissions such that protection is enabled for reference signals and data. For example, a user equipment (UE) may receive a resource grant from a base station for an uplink transmission, where the uplink transmission includes at least a first reference signal and a transmission time interval (TTI) that includes data and a second reference signal. The UE may identify a type of the reference signals and data, and may determine a priority based on the identified types of reference signals and data. The UE may then configure a transient period that overlaps with the first reference signal, the TTI, or both, based on the priority.
Abstract:
An exemplary embodiment discloses a digital control block for dynamically regulating power consumption of the transmitter; and a first diver amplifier circuit comprising a plurality of bias-modes each corresponding to a power consumption level in the transmitter, the digital control block to instruct the first diver amplifier circuit to operate in a selected bias-mode to regulate power consumption of the transmitter.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some cases, a user equipment (UE) may be scheduled to transmit uplink signals on different carriers during transmission time intervals (TTIs) that have different durations. As such, a TTI on a first carrier (e.g. , a reference carrier) may overlap with multiple shortened TTIs (sTTIs) on a second carrier (e.g. , a non-reference carrier). Using the techniques described herein, the UE may select a calibration point (or a gain index) for uplink transmissions at the beginning of the TTI on the reference carrier based on an amount of power reserved for expected power increases during the TTI. As such, when the UE has to update its transmit power for an uplink transmission during an sTTI on the second carrier, the UE may apply a digital back-off from a power associated with the calibration point.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that support time mask techniques for shortened transmission time intervals (sTTIs) that may enhance low latency communications. Time masks may be identified and applied for transmissions that use sTTIs, in a manner that provides increased portions of sTTI durations having higher transmission power, and thus increase the likelihood of successful reception of such transmissions at a receiver. In some cases, a transmitter, such as a user equipment (UE), may identify one or more sTTIs for transmissions of a first wireless service (e.g., an ultrareliable low-latency communication (URLLC) service). An sTTI may be identified based on a duration of a TTI associated with the first wireless service being below a threshold duration (e.g., a TTI duration of less than 1ms may be identified as an sTTI).
Abstract:
The various embodiments include a dual-SIM-dual-active (DSDA)device and methods for implementing robust transmit (Tx) processing to resolve radio frequency coexistence interference between two subscriptions operating on the DSDA device. The DSDA device may detect when one subscription (the "aggressor") de-senses the other subscription (the "victim") as a result of the aggressor's transmissions, and in response, implement robust Tx processing to mitigate the effects of de-sense on the victim.
Abstract:
Various embodiments include methods for managing antennas on an aerial robotic vehicle used for wireless communications. A processor may receive position information identifying a location of the aerial robotic vehicle, determine whether to switch from using a first antenna to using a second antenna for active communications of the aerial robotic vehicle based on the position information, and switch active communications from using the first antenna to using the second antenna in response to determining that active communications of the aerial robotic vehicle should switch from using the first antenna to using the second antenna. The processor may make the determination using information from a database, which may correlate aerial robotic vehicle position to whether to use a particular one of the first and second antennas for active communications. The determination may also be based on a comparison of signal qualities obtained by both antennas.
