Description

[0001] Public domain

[0002] Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and relate to techniques and apparatus for physical uplink shared channel repetition using hybrid waveforms.

[0003] Background

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. A typical wireless communication system may employ multiple access techniques capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access techniques include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and long term evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is an enhanced set of the universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) mobile standards promulgated by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0005] A wireless communication network may include several base stations (BSs) capable of supporting communication of several user equipments (UEs). A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station (BS) via a downlink and an uplink. The downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, and the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a B node, gNB, access point (AP), radio head, transmission reception point (TRP), new radio (NR) BS, 5G B node, and so on.

[0006] The above multiple access techniques have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipments to communicate at the urban, national, regional, and even global levels. New Radio (NR), which may also be referred to as 5G, is an enhanced set of the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing with Cyclic Prefix (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL), CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also referred to as Discrete Fourier Transform Spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), and supporting beamforming, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation to improve spectral efficiency, reduce costs, improve services, utilize new spectrum, and better integrate with other open standards. However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, there is a need for further improvement of LTE and NR technologies. Preferably, these improvements should be applicable to other multiple access techniques and the telecommunication standards that employ these techniques.

[0026] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Aspects of the present disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the present disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of the present disclosure. For example, any number of the aspects set forth herein may be used to implement a device or practice a method. Additionally, the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover such devices or methods practiced using other structures, functionality, or a combination of structures and functionality that supplement or are additional to the various aspects of the present disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the present disclosure disclosed herein may be implemented by one or more elements of a claim.

[0028] Certain aspects of a telecommunications system will now be presented with reference to various devices and technologies. These devices and technologies will be described in detail hereinafter and illustrated in the drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as "elements"). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0029] Note that while aspects may be described herein using terms typically associated with 3G and / or 4G wireless technologies, aspects of the present disclosure may be applied in communication systems based on other generations (such as 5G and later generations, including NR technologies).

[0030] Figure 1 FIG. 100 is a diagram illustrating a wireless network 100 in which aspects of the present disclosure may be practiced. The wireless network 100 may be an LTE network or some other wireless network, such as a 5G or NR network. The wireless network 100 may include several BSs 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A BS is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as a base station, NR BS, Node B, gNB, 5G Node B (NB), access point, transmission reception point (TRP), etc. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of a BS and / or the BS subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0031] The BS can provide communication coverage for macro cells, pico cells, femto cells, and / or another type of cell. A macro cell can cover a relatively large geographical area (e.g., with a radius of several kilometers) and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A pico cell can cover a relatively small geographical area and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A femto cell can cover a relatively small geographical area (e.g., a residence) and can allow restricted access by UEs associated with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG)). The BS for a macro cell can be referred to as a macro BS. The BS for a pico cell can be referred to as a pico BS. The BS for a femto cell can be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In Figure 1 the example shown in, BS 110a can be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b can be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c can be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. The BS can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB”, “base station”, “NR BS”, “gNB”, “TRP”, “AP”, “B node”, “5G NB” and “cell” are used interchangeably herein.

[0032] In some aspects, the cell may not have to be stationary, and the geographical area of the cell can move according to the location of the mobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs can be interconnected with each other and / or interconnected to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 using any suitable transport network via various types of backhaul interfaces such as direct physical connections, virtual networks, etc.

[0033] The wireless network 100 can also include relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send the transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station can also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. In Figure 1 the example shown in, relay station 110d can communicate with macro BS 110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. The relay station can also be referred to as a relay BS, a relay base station, a relay, etc.

[0034] The wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network including different types of BSs (e.g., macro BS, pico BS, femto BS, relay BS, etc.). These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, a macro BS may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0035] The network controller 130 can be coupled to a set of BSs and can provide coordination and control of these BSs. The network controller 130 can communicate with each BS via a backhaul. These BSs can also communicate with each other directly or indirectly, e.g., via a wireless or wired backhaul.

[0036] UEs 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) can be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE can be stationary or mobile. A UE can also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, subscriber unit, station, etc. A UE can be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, a superbook, a medical device or equipment, a biometric sensor / device, a wearable device (smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0037] Some UEs may be considered machine type communication (MTC) UEs, or evolved or enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, etc., which may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide connectivity to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or a cellular network) or provide connectivity to the network via, for example, a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or may be implemented as narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) devices. Some UEs may be considered customer premise equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as a processor component, a memory component, etc. In some aspects, the processor component and the memory component may be coupled together. For example, the processor component (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory component (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, electrically coupled, etc.

[0038] Generally, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network may support a specific radio access technology (RAT) and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, etc. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, etc. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, an NR or 5G RAT network may be deployed.

[0039] In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., communicate with each other without using the base station 110 as an intermediary). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, etc.), a mesh network, etc. In this case, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station 110.

[0040] As indicated above, Figure 1 is provided as an example. Other examples may be different from the example regarding Figure 1 described.

[0041] Figure 2FIG. 200 is a block diagram of a design 200 of a base station 110 and a UE 120, where the base station 110 and the UE 120 can be Figure 1 one of the base stations and one of the UEs in []. The base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a to 234t, and the UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a to 252r, where generally T≥1 and R≥1.

[0042] At the base station 110, the transmit processor 220 may receive data for one or more UEs from the data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) for the UE at least in part based on the channel quality indicator (CQI) received from each UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for the UE at least in part based on the MCS selected for each UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. The transmit processor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI), etc.) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, upper layer signaling, etc.), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRSs)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signals (PSSs) and secondary synchronization signals (SSSs)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols when applicable, and provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 may process its respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from the modulators 232a to 232t may be transmitted via the T antennas 234a to 234t, respectively. According to various aspects described in more detail below, position coding may be utilized to generate synchronization signals to convey additional information.

[0043] At the UE 120, antennas 252a through 252r may receive downlink signals from the base station 110 and / or other base stations and may provide the received signals to demodulators (DEMOD) 254a through 254r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, down-convert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain received symbols. The MIMO detector 256 may obtain the received symbols from all R demodulators 254a through 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols when applicable, and provide detected symbols. The receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide the decoded data for the UE 120 to the data sink 260, and provide the decoded control information and system information to the controller / processor 280. The channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP), a received signal strength indicator (RSSI), a reference signal received quality (RSRQ), a channel quality indicator (CQI), etc. In some aspects, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in a housing.

[0044] On the uplink, at the UE 120, the transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from the data source 262 and control information from the controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, etc.). The transmit processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by the TX MIMO processor 266 when applicable, further processed by modulators 254a through 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, etc.), and transmitted to the base station 110. At the base station 110, the uplink signals from the UE 120 and other UEs may be received by the antenna 234, processed by the demodulator 232, detected by the MIMO detector 236 when applicable, and further processed by the receive processor 238 to obtain the decoded data and control information transmitted by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to the data sink 239 and provide the decoded control information to the controller / processor 240. The base station 110 may include a communication unit 244 and communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller / processor 290, and a memory 292.

[0045] The controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2Any other component may perform one or more techniques associated with Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetition using a hybrid waveform, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 any other component may perform or direct, for example Figure 7 process 700 of Figure 8 process 800 of Figure 7 process 700 of Figure 8 process 800 of

[0046] In some aspects, the UE 120 may include means for receiving a PUSCH configuration that configures a first waveform and a second waveform different from the first waveform; means for transmitting a first PUSCH repetition using one of the first waveform or the second waveform and transmitting a second PUSCH repetition using the other of the first waveform or the second waveform, at least in part based on the PUSCH configuration; and so on. In some aspects, such means may include one or more components of the UE 120 described in conjunction with Figure 2 such as the controller / processor 280, the transmit processor 264, the TX MIMO processor 266, the MOD 254, the antenna 252, the DEMOD 254, the MIMO detector 256, the receive processor 258, and so on.

[0047] In some aspects, the base station 110 may include means for transmitting a PUSCH configuration that configures a first waveform and a second waveform different from the first waveform; means for receiving a first PUSCH repetition using one of the first waveform or the second waveform and receiving a second PUSCH repetition using the other of the first waveform or the second waveform, at least in part based on the PUSCH configuration; and so on. In some aspects, such means may include those described in conjunction with Figure 2One or more components of the described base station 110, such as antenna 234, DEMOD 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller / processor 240, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, MOD 232, antenna 234, and so on.

[0048] As indicated above, Figure 2 is provided as an example. Other examples may be different from the example Figure 2 described.

[0049] Figure 3 FIG. 300 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of multi-panel uplink transmission in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. UE 120 and BS 110 may communicate in conjunction with an uplink multi-panel transmission of UE 120. UE 120 may employ multiple transmit antenna panels. The antenna panel may be a group of antenna ports or a group of antennas. The uplink multi-panel transmission may employ spatial division multiplexing, time division multiplexing, or frequency division multiplexing.

[0050] Figure 3 FIG. 310 shows spatial division multiplexing (SDM) 310 of a first PUSCH transmission opportunity 320 and a second PUSCH transmission opportunity 330, time division multiplexing (TDM) 340 of PUSCH transmission opportunities 320 and 330, and frequency division multiplexing (FDM) 350 of PUSCH transmission opportunities 320 and 330.

[0051] According to SDM 310 (e.g., non-coherent joint transmission), UE 120 may transmit a first PUSCH transmission opportunity 320 (shown as the first layer) and a second PUSCH transmission opportunity 330 (shown as the second layer superimposed on the first layer) in the same time and frequency resources but different spatial resources. According to TDM 340, UE 120 may transmit a first PUSCH transmission opportunity 320 and a second PUSCH transmission opportunity 330 in the same frequency resources and different time resources. According to FDM 350, UE 120 may transmit a first PUSCH transmission opportunity 320 and a second PUSCH transmission opportunity 330 in the same time resources and different frequency resources.

[0052] In some aspects, UE 120 may use a first antenna panel 360 to transmit a first PUSCH transmission opportunity 320, and UE 120 may use a second antenna panel 370 to transmit a second PUSCH transmission opportunity 330. In other words, UE 120 may form a first beam on the first antenna panel 360, while UE 120 may form a second beam on the second antenna panel 370.

[0053] For codebook-based MIMO, the transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) index per antenna panel can be identified by DCI, the uplink transmission configuration indicator (TCI) per antenna panel can be identified by DCI, and the sounding reference signal (SRS) set for the codebook per panel can be radio resource control (RRC) configured. For non-codebook-based MIMO, the SRS resource indicator (SRI) index per antenna panel can be identified by DCI, the uplink TCI per antenna panel can be identified by DCI, and the SRS set for the non-codebook per panel can be RRC configured. The uplink TCI is used to indicate the beam for the antenna panel, which can be the beam associated with the indicated reference signal ID. The SRS set ID can be used to indicate the antenna panel ID, where each antenna panel is associated with an SRS set.

[0054] Some wireless communication standards support multiple waveforms to be RRC configured for PUSCH transmission. Generally, for each PUSCH transmission, only one waveform can be used. The waveform can be a discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform, a cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) waveform, etc. In these wireless standards, if transform precoding is enabled, the DFT-s-OFDM waveform is used, and if transform precoding is not enabled, the CP-OFDM is used.

[0055] Different mechanisms are used to determine whether transform precoding is enabled. If the DCI with a scheduling grant is received in DCI format 0_0, for this PUSCH transmission, the UE can consider enabling or disabling transform precoding according to the higher layer configured parameter msg3-transformPrecoder. If the DCI with a scheduling grant is not received in DCI format 0_0, and if the UE is configured with the higher layer parameter transformPrecoder in pusch-Config, the UE can consider enabling or disabling transform precoding according to this parameter. If the UE is not configured with the higher layer parameter transformPrecoder in pusch-Config, the UE can consider enabling or disabling transform precoding according to the higher layer configured parameter msg3-transformPrecoder.

[0056] Different panels, beams, etc. can have corresponding signal characteristics that interact differently with different waveforms. For example, a first panel can use a DFT-s-OFDM waveform to produce a more powerful and / or less noisy transmission than a second panel, which can use a CP-OFDM waveform to produce a more powerful and / or less noisy transmission. Thus, if the first panel is used for a first PUSCH repetition and the second panel is used for a second PUSCH repetition, and both use the same waveform, one of the repetitions can have lower quality than the other, reducing the likelihood of successful transmission.

[0057] In some aspects described herein, techniques are provided for using hybrid waveforms for PUSCH repetitions. In this way, a first PUSCH repetition can be transmitted using a first waveform and a second PUSCH repetition can be transmitted using a second waveform, thereby enabling more efficient use of time and frequency resources and increasing the likelihood of successful transmission.

[0058] As indicated above, Figure 3 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the example regarding Figure 3 described.

[0059] Figure 4 FIG. 400 is a diagram illustrating an example of PUSCH repetition employing a hybrid waveform in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. As shown, a base station 110 and a UE 120 can communicate with each other.

[0060] As indicated by reference numeral 405, the base station 110 can transmit and the UE 120 can receive a PUSCH configuration that configures a first waveform and a second waveform different from the first waveform. In some aspects, the first waveform can include a discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform, while the second waveform can include a cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) waveform.

[0061] In some aspects, the PUSCH configuration can be carried in an RRC message. The RRC message can configure transform precoder parameters. In some aspects, the transform precoder parameters can be enabled or disabled for the first and second waveforms based on values assigned to the transform precoder parameters from a set of enumerated values. The set of enumerated values can include a first value corresponding to a transmission state in which the first waveform is enabled and the second waveform is disabled, a second value corresponding to a transmission state in which the first waveform is disabled and the second waveform is enabled, a third value corresponding to a transmission state in which the first waveform is enabled and the second waveform is enabled, and so on.

[0062] As shown by reference numeral 410, base station 110 may transmit and UE 120 may receive a downlink control information (DCI) transmission (shown as DCI) that schedules a first PUSCH repetition (shown as PUSCH 1) and a second PUSCH repetition (shown as PUSCH 2). The DCI may schedule any number of additional PUSCH repetitions. The DCI transmission may also indirectly indicate the waveform to be associated with each PUSCH repetition. This determination may be made at least in part based on another association that may be established, for example, via PUSCH configuration.

[0063] In some aspects, the PUSCH configuration may associate a first waveform with a first beam identifier (ID) and a second waveform with a second beam ID, and the DCI transmission may indicate an association between the first beam ID and one of the first PUSCH repetition or the second PUSCH repetition and an association between the second beam ID and the other of the first PUSCH repetition or the second PUSCH repetition. The beam ID may be provided by a reference signal ID (such as a synchronization signal block (SSB) index, a channel state information (CSI)-RS, or a sounding reference signal (SRS) ID).

[0064] In some aspects, the PUSCH configuration may associate a first waveform with a first panel ID and a second waveform with a second panel ID. The DCI transmission may indicate an association between the first panel ID and one of the first PUSCH repetition or the second PUSCH repetition and an association between the second panel ID and the other of the first PUSCH repetition or the second PUSCH repetition. The panel ID may be an explicit identity, such as a control resource set (CORESET) pool index value. In some aspects, the panel ID may be implicitly associated with a reference signal ID (such as CSI-RS, SSB, SRS, etc.). In some aspects, the panel ID may be associated with a CSI-RS or SRS port group or a set identifier of a CSI-RS or SRS resource set.

The TCI ID may be associated with a reference signal ID (such as CSI-RS, SSB, SRS, etc.). In some aspects, the TCI ID may be associated with a serving cell index, a bandwidth part index, etc.

[0066] In some aspects, the PUSCH configuration can associate a first waveform with a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator (SRI) ID and a second waveform with a second SRI ID, and the DCI transmission can indicate the association between the first SRI ID and one of the first PUSCH repetition or the second PUSCH repetition and the association between the second SRI ID and the other of the first PUSCH repetition or the second PUSCH repetition. In some aspects, the SRS can be configured for codebook-based MIMO transmission.

[0067] In some aspects, the PUSCH configuration can associate a first waveform with a first transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) and a second waveform with a second TPMI, and the DCI transmission can indicate the association between the first TPMI and one of the first PUSCH repetition or the second PUSCH repetition and the association between the second TPMI and the other of the first PUSCH repetition or the second PUSCH repetition.

In some aspects, the SRS set can be configured for non-codebook-based MIMO transmission.

[0069] As shown by reference numeral 415, the UE 120 can transmit and the base station 110 can receive multiple PUSCH repetitions. The PUSCH repetitions can be transmitted at least in part based on the PUSCH configuration, DCI transmission, etc. The PUSCH repetitions can include a first PUSCH repetition transmitted using one of the first waveform or the second waveform and a second PUSCH repetition transmitted using the other of the first waveform or the second waveform. In some aspects, the two PUSCH repetitions can be transmitted using the same waveform. In some aspects, the UE 120 can multiplex the first PUSCH repetition and the second PUSCH repetition using at least one of frequency division multiplexing, time division multiplexing (as Figure 4 shown), etc.

[0070] In some aspects, the waveform association configured via RRC can be updated using a Medium Access Control Control Element (MAC-CE). In some aspects, the UE 120 can create an initial waveform association by associating a first set of PUSCH occasions with a first waveform and a second set of PUSCH occasions with a second waveform using a MAC-CE. The first set of PUSCH occasions can be associated with a first uplink beam, and the second set of PUSCH occasions can be associated with a second uplink beam. A first PUSCH repetition can be associated with at least one PUSCH occasion in the first set of PUSCH occasions, and a second PUSCH repetition can be associated with at least one PUSCH occasion in the second set of PUSCH occasions. The UE 120 can create an updated waveform association by updating the initial waveform association using another MAC-CE. In some aspects, the UE 120 can update the initial waveform association by associating the first set of PUSCH occasions with the first waveform and the second set of PUSCH occasions with the second waveform using the other MAC-CE.

[0071] In some of the aspects described above, techniques are provided for using a hybrid waveform for PUSCH repetitions. In this way, a first PUSCH repetition can be transmitted using a first waveform and a second PUSCH repetition can be transmitted using a second waveform, thus enabling a more efficient use of time and frequency resources and increasing the likelihood of successful transmission.

[0072] As indicated above, Figure 4 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the example described with respect to Figure 4 above.

This determination may be made at least in part based on another association that may be established, for example, via PUSCH configuration.

[0076] As shown by reference numeral 515, the UE 120 may transmit and the base station 110 may receive a first PUSCH repetition and a second PUSCH repetition.

[0077] In some aspects, the PUSCH configuration may associate a first waveform with a first effective code rate and a second waveform with a second effective code rate. The DCI transmission may schedule the first PUSCH repetition to be transmitted in a first PUSCH occasion and the second PUSCH repetition to be transmitted in a second PUSCH occasion. The DCI transmission may indicate the association between the first effective code rate and one of the first PUSCH occasion or the second PUSCH occasion and the association between the second effective code rate and the other of the first PUSCH occasion or the second PUSCH occasion.

[0078] In some aspects, the UE 120 may perform rate matching procedures, puncturing procedures, etc. at least in part based on the first effective code rate and the second effective code rate. For example, as Figure 5 shown, the second PUSCH occasion may have more OFDM symbols available compared to the first PUSCH occasion. Rate matching may be used to achieve a higher code rate in the first PUSCH occasion than in the second PUSCH occasion.

[0079] In some aspects, the PUSCH configuration may associate a first waveform and a second waveform with a code rate threshold, and the DCI transmission may indicate an association between a first code rate value that meets the code rate threshold and one of a first PUSCH occasion or a second PUSCH occasion, and an association between a second code rate value that fails to meet the code rate threshold and the other of the first PUSCH occasion or the second PUSCH occasion. The threshold may be configured by RRC signaling or be predetermined as a fixed value.

[0080] In some aspects, the PUSCH configuration may associate a first waveform with a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configuration and a second waveform with a second DMRS configuration, and the DCI transmission may indicate an association between the first DMRS configuration and one of a first PUSCH occasion or a second PUSCH occasion, and an association between the second DMRS configuration and the other of the first PUSCH occasion or the second PUSCH occasion.

In some aspects, the DMRS port indication may indicate a first DMRS port associated with one of the first PUSCH occasion or the second PUSCH occasion and a second DMRS port associated with the other of the first PUSCH occasion or the second PUSCH occasion.

[0081] In some aspects, the first DMRS configuration may include a first DMRS port index in a first set of DMRS port indices having a first number of DMRS port indices and associated with the first waveform, and the second DMRS configuration may include a second DMRS port index in a second set of DMRS port indices having a second number of DMRS port indices and associated with the second waveform. The second number may be greater than the first number, and the second DMRS port index may be selected from a subset of DMRS indices in the second set of DMRS port indices corresponding to the first set of DMRS port indices.
