Technical Field

[0003] The following relates generally to wireless communications, and more particularly to configuration for a carrier overlapping multiple unlicensed bands. Background Art

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, message transceiving, broadcasting, etc. These systems can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems such as long term evolution (LTE) systems, advanced LTE (LTE-A) systems or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems that can be referred to as new radio (NR) systems. These systems can use techniques such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) or discrete Fourier transform extended orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system can include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each base station or network access node simultaneously supporting communication for multiple communication devices, which can be referred to as user equipment (UE) in addition.

[0005] Different unlicensed spectrum bands (e.g., unlicensed national information infrastructure (U-NII) bands) may be associated with different sets of regulatory requirements. In some wireless communication systems, a UE may be configured with an unlicensed carrier associated with a single set of regulatory requirements. However, these restrictions may limit the flexibility and utility of unlicensed carriers. Summary of the invention

[0006] The described technology relates to improved methods, systems, devices and apparatuses for supporting configuration of carriers overlapping with multiple unlicensed bands. In general, the described technology provides resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier spanning multiple unlicensed bands or at least a portion of multiple unlicensed bands. A user equipment (UE) may receive resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier (e.g., an NR-U carrier) spanning a first unlicensed band (e.g., a first unlicensed national information infrastructure (U-NII) band) and a second unlicensed band (e.g., a second U-NII band). The first and second unlicensed bands may be associated with different sets of requirements (e.g., maximum power requirements, regulation requirements). The UE may additionally receive one or more sets of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., network signaling (NS) values) corresponding to the unlicensed carrier. In some aspects, the UE may receive a single NS value indicating a parameter corresponding to the most stringent requirement across the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may receive multiple NS values ​​associated with multiple resource subsets (e.g., subbands, bandwidth parts (BWPs), resource sets allocated for uplink transmissions) of an unlicensed carrier. When performing uplink transmissions, if the corresponding resource subset (e.g., subband, BWP) is completely set within the first or second unlicensed band, the UE may apply a parameter set associated with the corresponding unlicensed band. Alternatively, in the case where the corresponding resource subset (e.g., subband, BWP) is set within both the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band, the UE may apply a parameter subset associated with the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band (e.g., the most stringent parameter set between the first subband and the second subband) when performing uplink transmissions. The most stringent parameter set may include parameters associated with the first subband or the second subband, or a mixture of the most stringent parameters associated with the first subband and the second subband. By enabling a single unlicensed carrier to be associated with multiple NS values, the techniques described herein may result in improved communication resource utilization within the unlicensed spectrum.

[0060] In some wireless communication systems that support unlicensed spectrum bands (e.g., unlicensed national information infrastructure (U-NII) bands), different unlicensed bands may present different regulation requirements. The regulation requirements may be related to the maximum transmission power level among other parameters and may be defined by various regulation entities. The parameters associated with each set of regulation requirements may be indicated to the user equipment (UE) via a network signaling (NS) value indicated by a system information block (SIB). In some wireless communication systems (e.g., enhanced licensed assisted access (eLAA)), unlicensed carriers may present a predefined bandwidth (e.g., 20 MHz), and each unlicensed carrier may be associated with only a single set of regulation requirements. That is, each unlicensed carrier may be associated with only one NS value. However, in other wireless communication systems (e.g., NR-U), the bandwidth of the unlicensed carrier may be much wider than the predefined carrier bandwidth (e.g., wider than 20 MHz). In this case, because the carrier may be associated only with a signal NS value, the unlicensed carrier may have to be divided to achieve more aggregated carriers (e.g., divided into 20 MHz portions), or some spectrum of the unlicensed carrier may not be utilized by the UE. Accordingly, an unlicensed carrier spanning multiple unlicensed bands may result in underutilization of communication resources.

[0061] In order to solve the problems associated with unlicensed spectrum, a technology for resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier across multiple unlicensed bands is described. A UE may receive a resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier (e.g., an NR-U carrier) across a first unlicensed band (e.g., a first U-NII band) and a second unlicensed band (e.g., a second U-NII band). The first and second unlicensed bands may be associated with different sets of requirements (e.g., maximum power requirements, regulation requirements). The UE may additionally receive one or more regulation requirement parameter (e.g., NS value) sets corresponding to the unlicensed carrier. The UE may receive a single NS value indicating a parameter corresponding to the most stringent requirement across the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may receive multiple NS values ​​associated with multiple resource subsets of an unlicensed carrier. Multiple NS values ​​may be associated with subbands of an unlicensed carrier and / or a bandwidth part (BWP) of an unlicensed carrier. When performing uplink transmission, if the corresponding resource subset (e.g., subband, BWP) is completely set within the first or second unlicensed band, the UE may apply the parameter set associated with the corresponding unlicensed band. Alternatively, in the case where the corresponding resource subset (e.g., subband, BWP) is set within both the first and second unlicensed bands, the UE may apply the most stringent parameter set between the first subband and the second subband when performing uplink transmission. The most stringent parameter set may include parameters associated with the first subband or the second subband, or a mixture of the most stringent parameters associated with the first subband and the second subband. By enabling a single unlicensed carrier to be associated with multiple NS values, the techniques described herein may result in improved communication resource utilization within the unlicensed spectrum.

[0062] Aspects of the disclosure are initially described in the context of wireless communication systems. Aspects of the disclosure are additionally described in the context of example resource allocations and example process flows. Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flow charts related to techniques for configuring a carrier that overlaps multiple unlicensed bands.

[0063] Figure 1 An example of a wireless communication system 100 supporting configuration for a carrier overlapping with multiple unlicensed bands according to various aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more base stations 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a long term evolution (LTE) network, an advanced LTE (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a new radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission-critical) communications, low-latency communications, communications with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof.

[0064] The base stations 105 may be dispersed across a geographic area to form the wireless communication system 100 and may be devices of different forms or with different capabilities. The base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 may provide a coverage area 110 over which the UEs 115 and the base stations 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which the base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may support communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies.

[0065] The UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary, mobile, or both at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices of different forms or with different capabilities. Figure 1 Some example UEs 115 are illustrated in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the UE 115 described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, base stations 105, or network devices (e.g., core network nodes, relay devices, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network devices).

[0066] Base stations 105 may communicate with core network 130, or with each other, or with both. For example, base stations 105 may be connected to core network 130 via one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via S1, N2, N3, or other interfaces). Base stations 105 may communicate with each other via backhaul links 120 (e.g., via X2, Xn, or other interfaces) directly (e.g., directly between base stations 105) or indirectly (e.g., via core network 130), or both. In some examples, backhaul links 120 may be or include one or more wireless links.

[0067] One or more of the base stations 105 described herein may include or may be referred to by a person of ordinary skill in the art as: a base station transceiver station, a radio base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a Node B, an eNode B (eNB), a next generation Node B or a Gigabit Node B (any of which may be referred to as a gNB), a Home Node B, a Home eNode B, or other suitable terminology.

[0068] UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where a "device" may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communication (MTC) device, etc., which may be implemented in various objects, such as appliances or vehicles, meters, etc.

[0069] The UE 115 described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, which may sometimes act as relays, as well as base stations 105 and network devices (including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations), and other examples, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0070] The UE 115 and the base station 105 may wirelessly communicate with each other over one or more carriers via one or more communication links 125. The term "carrier" may refer to a set of radio spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication link 125. For example, a carrier for the communication link 125 may include a portion of a radio spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) that operates according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling for coordinating carrier operations, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communication system 100 may support communication with the UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. Depending on the carrier aggregation configuration, the UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers. Carrier aggregation may be used with frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers.

[0071] In some examples (e.g., in a carrier aggregation configuration), a carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling that coordinates the operation of other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (EARFCN)) and may be located based on a channel raster for discovery by UE 115. A carrier may operate in a standalone mode, where a UE 115 may perform initial acquisition and connection via a carrier, or a carrier may operate in a non-standalone mode, where a connection is anchored using a different carrier (e.g., of the same or different radio access technology).

[0072] The communication link 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include an uplink transmission from the UE 115 to the base station 105, or a downlink transmission from the base station 105 to the UE 115. A carrier may carry downlink or uplink communications (e.g., in FDD mode), or may be configured to carry both downlink and uplink communications (e.g., in TDD mode).

[0073] A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of a radio spectrum, and in some examples, a carrier bandwidth may be referred to as a "system bandwidth" of a carrier or wireless communication system 100. For example, a carrier bandwidth may be one of a plurality of determined bandwidths of a carrier for a particular radio access technology (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 megahertz (MHz)). Devices of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., a base station 105, a UE 115, or both) may have a hardware configuration that supports communications on a particular carrier bandwidth, or may be configured to support communications on one of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include a base station 105 or a UE 115 that supports simultaneous communications via carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate on a portion (e.g., a sub-band, a BWP) or all of the carrier bandwidth.

[0074] The signal waveform transmitted on the carrier may be composed of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may include a symbol period (e.g., the duration of a modulation symbol) and a subcarrier, where the symbol period and the subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Therefore, the more resource elements received by UE 115 and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate of UE 115 may be. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of radio spectrum resources, time resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers may further increase the data rate or data integrity of communications with UE 115.

[0075] One or more parameter sets for a carrier may be supported, where the parameter set may include a subcarrier spacing (Δf) and a cyclic prefix. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs with the same or different parameter sets. In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier may be active at a given time, and communications of the UE 115 may be restricted to one or more active BWPs.

[0076] The time interval of the base station 105 or the UE 115 may be expressed as a multiple of a basic time unit, which may be, for example, T s =1 / (Δf max ·N f ) seconds sampling period, where Δf max It can represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and N f The maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size may be indicated. The time intervals of the communication resources may be organized according to radio frames, each radio frame having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0077] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or time slots, and each subframe or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, the frame may be divided into subframes (e.g., in the time domain), and each subframe may be further divided into multiple time slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each time slot may include multiple symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix appended to each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, the time slot may be further divided into multiple micro-time slots containing one or more symbols. In addition to the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may contain one or more (e.g., N f ) sampling period. The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or the frequency band of operation.

[0078] A subframe, slot, mini-slot, or symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst of a shortened TTI (sTTI)).

[0079] Physical channels may be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. Physical control channels and physical data channels may be multiplexed on a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of a time division multiplexing (TDM) technique, a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technique, or a hybrid TDM-FDM technique. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) of a physical control channel may be defined by a plurality of symbol periods and may extend across a system bandwidth of a carrier or a subset of a system bandwidth. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 may monitor or search a control region for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or more control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. The aggregation level of a control channel candidate may refer to the number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with coded information of a control information format having a given payload size. A search space set may include a common search space set configured for sending control information to a plurality of UEs 115 and a UE-specific search space set for sending control information to a specific UE 115.

[0080] In some examples, base stations 105 may be mobile and thus provide communication coverage for mobile geographic coverage areas 110. In some examples, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same base station 105. In other examples, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of base stations 105 provide coverage for various geographic coverage areas 110 using the same or different radio access technologies.

[0081] The wireless communication system 100 can be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low-latency communication or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 100 can be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) or mission-critical communication. UE115 can be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency or critical functions (e.g., mission-critical functions). Ultra-reliable communication can include private communication or group communication, and can be supported by one or more mission-critical services, such as mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT), mission-critical video (MCVideo), or mission-critical data (MCData). Support for mission-critical functions can include service priorities, and mission-critical services can be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, mission-critical, and ultra-reliable low-latency can be used interchangeably in this article.

[0082] In some examples, UE 115 may also be able to communicate directly with other UEs 115 via a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or device-to-device (D2D) protocol). One or more of the UEs 115 utilizing D2D communication may be within the geographic coverage area 110 of the base station 105. Other UEs 115 in the group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of the base station 105, or otherwise unable to receive transmissions from the base station 105. In some examples, a group of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to each other UE 115 in the group. In some examples, the base station 105 facilitates resource scheduling for D2D communication. In other cases, D2D communication is performed between UEs 115 without the involvement of the base station 105.

[0083] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) for managing access and mobility and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)) for routing or interconnecting packets to an external network. The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management of UE 115 served by a base station 105 associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be delivered through a user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to a network operator IP service 150. The operator IP service 150 may include access to the Internet, (multiple) intranets, an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), or a packet-switched streaming service.

[0084] Some of the network devices, such as the base station 105, may include subcomponents such as an access network entity 140, which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity 140 may communicate with the UE 115 through one or more other access network transmission entities 145, which may be referred to as radio heads, smart radio heads, or transmit / receive points (TRPs). Each access network transmission entity 145 may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, the various functions of each access network entity 140 or base station 105 may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs), or merged into a single network device (e.g., base station 105).

[0085] The wireless communication system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands typically in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is referred to as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelength distance is from about 1 decimeter to 1 meter long. Buildings and environmental features may block or redirect UHF waves, but the waves can fully penetrate the structure of the macro cell to provide service to UEs 115 located indoors. Transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter distances (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to transmission of smaller frequencies and longer waves using the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portion of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0086] The wireless communication system 100 can utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 can employ license assisted access (LAA), unlicensed LTE (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in an unlicensed band such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. When operating in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, devices such as base stations 105 and UEs 115 can employ carrier sensing for conflict detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations in unlicensed bands can be based on carrier aggregation configurations together with component carriers operating in licensed bands (e.g., LAA). Operations in unlicensed spectrum can include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among others.

[0087] The base station 105 or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that may be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of the base station 105 or UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels that may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with the base station 105 may be located at different geographic locations. The base station 105 may have an antenna array having multiple rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station 105 may use to support beamforming for communications with the UE 115. Similarly, the UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for signals sent via the antenna ports.

[0088] The base station 105 or UE 115 can use MIMO communication to exploit multipath signal propagation and improve spectral efficiency by sending or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. This technology can be referred to as spatial multiplexing. For example, multiple signals can be sent by a transmitting device via different antennas or different antenna combinations. Similarly, multiple signals can be received by a receiving device via different antennas or different antenna combinations. Each of the multiple signals can be referred to as a separate spatial stream and can carry bits associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers can be associated with different antenna ports for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO technology includes single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are sent to the same receiving device, and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are sent to multiple devices.

[0089] Beamforming (which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception) is a signal processing technique that can be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a base station 105, a UE 115) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming can be achieved by combining signals communicated via antenna elements in an antenna array so that signals propagating in a particular orientation relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference, while other signals experience destructive interference. Adjustments to signals communicated via antenna elements can include a transmitting device or a receiving device applying an offset, a phase offset, or both to a signal carried via an antenna element associated with the device. Adjustments associated with each antenna element can be defined by a set of beamforming weights associated with a particular orientation (e.g., relative to an antenna array of a transmitting device or a receiving device, or relative to some other direction).

[0090] The base station 105 or the UE 115 may use beam scanning techniques as part of a beamforming operation. For example, the base station 105 may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to perform beamforming operations for directional communication with the UE 115. For example, some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be sent multiple times by the base station 105 in different directions, which may include sending signals according to different sets of beamforming weights associated with different transmission directions. Transmissions in different beam directions may be used to identify (e.g., by the base station 105 or a receiving device such as the UE 115) a beam direction for subsequent transmissions or receptions by the base station 105.

[0091] Some signals, such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device, may be transmitted by base station 105 in a single beam direction (e.g., a direction associated with a receiving device such as UE 115). In some examples, a beam direction associated with transmission along a single beam direction may be determined based on signals transmitted in one or more beam directions. For example, UE 115 may receive one or more signals transmitted by base station 105 in different directions and may report to base station 105 an indication of the signal received by UE 115 with the highest signal quality or other acceptable signal quality.

[0092] In some examples, transmissions by a device (e.g., base station 105 or UE 115) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may generate a combined beam for transmission (e.g., from base station 105 to UE 115) using a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming. UE 115 may report feedback indicating precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and the feedback may correspond to a configured number of beams across the system bandwidth or one or more subbands. Base station 105 may send reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS), channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS)) that may be precoded or unprecoded. UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., multi-panel type codebook, linear combination type codebook, port selection type codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals sent by base station 105 in one or more directions, UE 115 may employ similar techniques for sending signals multiple times in different directions (e.g., for identifying a beam direction for subsequent transmission or reception by UE 115), or for sending signals in a single direction (e.g., for sending data to a receiving device).

[0093] When receiving various signals (such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) from the base station 105, the receiving device (e.g., UE 115) can try multiple reception configurations (e.g., directional listening). For example, the receiving device can try multiple reception directions by receiving via different antenna subarrays, processing received signals according to different antenna subarrays, receiving according to different reception beamforming weight sets (e.g., different directional listening weight sets) applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array, or processing received signals according to different reception beamforming weight sets applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array, any of which can be referred to as "listening" according to different reception configurations or reception directions. In some examples, the receiving device can use a single reception configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). A single receive configuration may be aligned on a beam direction determined based on listening according to different receive configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have the highest signal strength, highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or other acceptable signal quality based on listening according to multiple beam directions).

[0094] The wireless communication system 100 may be a packet-based network that operates according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, the communication at the bearer or packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer may be IP-based. The radio link control (RLC) layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate through logical channels. The medium access control (MAC) layer may perform priority processing and multiplex logical channels into transport channels. The MAC layer may also use error detection techniques, error correction techniques, or both to support retransmission at the MAC layer to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the radio resource control (RRC) protocol layer may provide the establishment, configuration, and maintenance of an RRC connection between a UE 115 and a base station 105 or a core network 130 that supports radio bearers for user plane data. At the physical layer, transport channels may be mapped to physical channels.

[0095] UE 115 and base station 105 can support retransmission of data to increase the possibility of successfully receiving data. Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is a technology for increasing the possibility of correctly receiving data through communication link 125. HARQ can include a combination of error detection (e.g., using cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC) and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ can improve the throughput at the MAC layer under poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise ratio conditions). In some examples, the device can support HARQ feedback for the same time slot, wherein the device can provide HARQ feedback for data received in the previous symbol in the time slot in a specific time slot. In other cases, the device can provide HARQ feedback in subsequent time slots or according to some other time interval.

[0096] The UE 115 and the base station 105 of the wireless communication system 100 may support techniques for resource allocation for unlicensed carriers across multiple unlicensed bands. Specifically, aspects of the wireless communication system 100 may allow a single unlicensed carrier across multiple unlicensed bands to be associated with one or more regulation requirement parameter sets. Specifically, the base station 105 may be configured to signal the regulation requirement parameter (e.g., NS value) set to the UE 115 at different granularities. In some aspects, the base station 105 may indicate one or more regulation requirement parameter sets for each unlicensed band (e.g., on a per unlicensed band basis), for each subband or BWP (e.g., on a per BWP basis), or for each uplink transmission (e.g., on a per uplink transmission basis).

[0097] For example, UE 115 may receive from base station 105 a resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier (e.g., an NR-U carrier) spanning a first unlicensed band (e.g., a first U-NII band) and a second unlicensed band (e.g., a second U-NII band). The first and second unlicensed bands may be associated with different sets of regulatory requirements. The regulatory requirements may include any number or type of regulatory or standard requirements associated with wireless communications or unlicensed spectrum. The regulatory requirement parameters may be defined by various regulatory entities. In this regard, the regulatory requirements may include any regulatory or standard requirements known in the art, including but not limited to effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) values, power spectral density (PSD) power values, maximum power reduction (MPR) values ​​(e.g., additional MPR (A-MPR) values), UE transmission values, and the like.

[0098] In some aspects, the base station 105 may signal a single set of regulatory requirement parameters associated with an unlicensed carrier that spans a first unlicensed band and a second unlicensed band to the UE 115. For example, the base station 105 may determine a first set of regulatory requirement parameters associated with the first unlicensed band, and a second set of regulatory requirement parameters associated with the second unlicensed band. In this example, the base station 105 may determine a subset of regulatory requirement parameters that have the most stringent requirements between the first set of regulatory requirement parameters and the second set of regulatory requirement parameters, and may signal the subset of regulatory requirement parameters to the UE 115. The UE 115 may then communicate with the base station 105 via the unlicensed carrier using the subset of regulatory requirement parameters.

[0099] In additional or alternative aspects, the base station 105 may signal to the UE 115 a plurality of regulation requirement parameter sets associated with an unlicensed carrier spanning a first unlicensed band and a second unlicensed band. For example, the base station 105 may indicate a first regulation requirement parameter set for the first unlicensed band, and a second regulation requirement parameter set for the second unlicensed band. As another example, the base station 105 may indicate a first regulation requirement parameter set for a first configured BWP for an unlicensed carrier, and a second regulation requirement parameter set for a second configured BWP for an unlicensed carrier. In these examples, the UE 115 may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters from the first and second regulation requirement parameter sets for uplink transmissions based on whether the frequency resources used for the uplink transmission overlap with the first and second unlicensed bands and / or the first configured BWP and the second configured BWP.

[0100] For example, if the set of frequency resources used for uplink transmission corresponds to a first configured BWP that is completely within the first unlicensed band, UE 115 may perform uplink transmission using a first set of regulation requirement parameters associated with the first unlicensed band (or the first configured BWP). In contrast, if the set of frequency resources used for uplink transmission corresponds to a configured BWP that overlaps both the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band, UE 115 may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements between the first regulation requirement parameter set and the second regulation requirement parameter set as the set of regulation requirement parameters, and may perform uplink transmission using the subset of regulation requirement parameters.

[0101] In additional or alternative aspects, the base station 105 may signal to the UE 115 a set of regulation requirement parameters associated with each uplink transmission from the UE 115. In this regard, the base station 105 may indicate the set of regulation requirement parameters to the UE 115 on a per uplink transmission basis. For example, the base station 105 may send to the UE 115 a resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier that spans at least a portion of a first unlicensed band and a second unlicensed band. The base station 105 may also send to the UE 115 an uplink resource configuration that includes a set of frequency resources for uplink transmissions and a set of regulation requirement parameters for uplink transmissions. Subsequently, the UE 115 may send an uplink transmission using the set of regulation requirement parameters indicated in the uplink resource configuration.

[0102] The techniques described herein may enable a single unlicensed carrier spanning two or more unlicensed bands to be associated with one or more sets of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., NS values). Specifically, the techniques described herein may enable a UE 115 and / or a base station 105 of a wireless communication system 100 to determine a set of regulation requirement parameters to be used by the UE 115 on an unlicensed carrier for uplink transmissions, so that the resources of the unlicensed carrier may be effectively utilized without further subdividing the unlicensed carrier. In this regard, the techniques described herein may facilitate effective and efficient use of time and frequency resources in the context of an unlicensed carrier.

[0103] Figure 2 An example of a wireless communication system 200 that supports configuration for a carrier overlapping with multiple unlicensed bands according to aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, the wireless communication system 200 can implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100. The wireless communication system 200 may include a base station 105-a and a UE 115-a, which may be as described in reference Figure 1 Examples of UE 115 and base station 105 are described.

[0104] UE 115-a may communicate with base station 105-a using communication link 205. In some cases, communication link 205 may include an example of an access link (e.g., a Uu link). In some cases, communication link 205 may include an example of a unicast channel between base station 105-a and UE 115-a. Communication link 205 may include a bidirectional link that can include both uplink and downlink communications. In one aspect, UE 115-a may use communication link 205 to send uplink transmissions (such as uplink messages or uplink signals) to base station 105-a, and base station 105-a may use communication link 205 to send downlink transmissions (such as downlink messages or downlink signals) to UE 115-a.

[0105] The UE 115-a and base station 105-a of the wireless communication system 200 may support a technology for resource allocation of unlicensed carriers across multiple unlicensed bands. As previously mentioned herein, some wireless communication systems may allow a single unlicensed carrier to be associated with a single set of adjustment requirement parameters (e.g., a single NS value). However, when the bandwidth of the unlicensed carrier is greater than the bandwidth of the corresponding unlicensed band, this may result in a waste of resources or require the unlicensed carrier to be subdivided. Therefore, the technology described herein may allow a single unlicensed carrier across multiple unlicensed bands or at least a portion of multiple unlicensed bands to be associated with one or more sets of adjustment requirement parameters (e.g., NS values). Specifically, the base station 105-a may be configured to signal the adjustment requirement parameter set to the UE 115-a at different granularities. In some aspects, the base station 105-a may indicate one or more sets of adjustment requirement parameters for each unlicensed band (e.g., on a per unlicensed band basis), for each subband or BWP (e.g., on a per BWP basis), or for each uplink transmission (e.g., on a per uplink transmission basis).

[0106] For example, UE 115-a may receive a control message 210 or other downlink message from base station 105-a indicating resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier spanning a first unlicensed band and a second unlicensed band. As used herein, an unlicensed carrier or unlicensed band may refer to the use of a radio frequency spectrum that is not licensed or otherwise reserved for a specific entity (e.g., by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)). Such unlicensed spectrum may also be referred to as a shared spectrum. An unlicensed carrier may include any unlicensed carrier known in the art, including but not limited to an unlicensed carrier configured for the NR-U protocol. Similarly, an unlicensed band may include any unlicensed band known in the art, including but not limited to the U-NII band. In some aspects, the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band may be associated with different sets of regulatory requirements. The regulatory requirements may include any number or type of regulatory or standard requirements associated with wireless communications or unlicensed spectrum. In this regard, the regulatory requirements may include any regulatory or standard requirements known in the art, including but not limited to EIRP values, PSD power values, MPR values ​​(e.g., A-MPR values), UE transmission values, etc.

[0107] In some aspects, a UE 115-a may receive a SIB 215 from a base station 105-a indicating one or more sets of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., NS values) corresponding to an unlicensed carrier. The base station 105-a may be configured to signal the sets of regulation requirement parameters to the UE 115-a via the SIB 215 at different granularities. In some aspects, the base station 105-a may indicate one or more sets of regulation requirement parameters for each unlicensed band (e.g., on a per unlicensed band basis), for each subband or BWP (e.g., on a per BWP basis), or for each uplink transmission (e.g., on a per uplink transmission basis). Although described in the context of the SIB 215, the regulation requirement parameters may be used to determine the NS value of the unlicensed carrier. Figure 2 , but the base station 105 - a may use any form of downlink messaging or signaling to indicate one or more sets of conditioning requirement parameters for each unlicensed band.

[0108] In some aspects, the base station 105-a may signal to the UE 115-a via the SIB 215 a single set of regulation requirement parameters associated with an unlicensed carrier that spans a first unlicensed band and a second unlicensed band. For example, the base station 105-a may determine a first set of regulation requirement parameters associated with the first unlicensed band, and a second set of regulation requirement parameters associated with the second unlicensed band. In this example, the base station 105-a may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters that have the most stringent requirements between the first set of regulation requirement parameters and the second set of regulation requirement parameters, and may signal the subset of regulation requirement parameters to the UE 115-a. The UE 115-a may then send an uplink transmission 220 to the base station 105 via the unlicensed carrier using the subset of regulation requirement parameters.

[0109] As used herein, the term "most stringent requirement" and similar terms may refer to a parameter that is the most restrictive or conservative among a set of similar parameters. For example, a first maximum transmit power limit that is lower than a second maximum transmit power limit may be more restrictive, and therefore more "stringent," because it imposes more restrictions on the operation of the UE 115 than the second maximum transmit power limit. In other words, a parameter that presents the "most stringent requirement" between a first parameter and a second parameter may include a parameter that will ensure compliance with both the first parameter and the second parameter.

[0110] By indicating a single set of regulation requirement parameters with the most stringent requirements for the unlicensed carrier, the base station 105-a can ensure that communications on the unlicensed carrier at the UE 115-a comply with the regulation requirement parameters for both the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band. In some aspects, the set of regulation requirement parameters with the most stringent requirements (e.g., the most conservative requirements) may include the first regulation requirement parameter set or the second regulation requirement parameter set. Additionally or alternatively, the subset of regulation requirement parameters with the most stringent requirements may include one or more parameters from the first regulation requirement parameter set and one or more parameters from the second regulation requirement parameter set. In this regard, the set of regulation requirement parameters with the most stringent requirements may include a mixture of the first regulation requirement parameter set and the second regulation requirement parameter set.

[0111] For example, a first set of adjustment requirement parameters may include a first PSD value and a first UE transmit value, and a second set of adjustment requirement parameters may include a second PSD value and a second UE transmit value. In this example, the base station 105-a may compare the first PSD value and the second PSD value, and may determine which PSD value has the most stringent requirement to be included in the subset of the adjustment requirement parameters. For example, the base station 105-a may determine that the lowest PSD value between the first PSD value and the second PSD value has the most stringent requirement, and thus the lower PSD value of the first PSD value and the second PSD value may be included in the subset of the adjustment requirement parameters. Similarly, the base station 105-a may compare the first UE transmit value and the second UE transmit value, and may determine which UE transmit value has the most stringent requirement to be included in the subset of the adjustment requirement parameters. For example, the base station 105-a may determine that the lowest UE transmit value between the first UE transmit value and the second UE transmit value has the most stringent requirement, and thus the lower of the first UE transmit value and the second UE transmit value may be included in the subset of the adjustment requirement parameters indicated to the UE 115-a via the SIB 215.

[0112] In additional or alternative aspects, SIB 215 may include multiple regulation requirement parameter sets (e.g., multiple NS values ​​for unlicensed carriers) associated with unlicensed carriers spanning first and second unlicensed bands. For example, base station 105-a may indicate a first regulation requirement parameter set for a first unlicensed band and a second regulation requirement parameter set for a second unlicensed band via SIB 215. In this regard, SIB 215 may indicate the regulation requirement parameter set on a per-unlicensed band basis. As another example, base station 105-a may indicate a first regulation requirement parameter set for a first configured BWP for an unlicensed carrier and a second regulation requirement parameter set for a second configured BWP for an unlicensed carrier via SIB 215. In this regard, SIB 215 may indicate the regulation requirement parameter set on a per-BWP basis.

[0113] In these examples, the UE 115-a may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters from the first and second regulation requirement parameter sets to use for the uplink transmission 220 based on whether the frequency resources used for the uplink transmission overlap with the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band and / or the first configured BWP and the second configured BWP. For example, if the set of frequency resources used for the uplink transmission 220 corresponds to the first configured BWP that is entirely within the first unlicensed band, the UE 115-a may use the first regulation requirement parameter set associated with the first unlicensed band (or the first configured BWP) to perform the uplink transmission 220. In contrast, if the set of frequency resources used for the uplink transmission 220 corresponds to a configured BWP that overlaps with both the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band, the UE 115-a may determine the subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements between the first regulation requirement parameter set and the second regulation requirement parameter set as the set of regulation requirement parameters, and may send the uplink transmission 220 to the base station 105-a using the subset of regulation requirement parameters.

[0114] In additional or alternative aspects, the base station 105-a may signal to the UE 115-a via the SIB 215 a set of regulation requirement parameters associated with each individual uplink transmission 220 from the UE 115-a. In this regard, the SIB 215 may indicate the set of regulation requirement parameters on a per-uplink transmission basis. For example, the base station 105-a may send to the UE 115-a via the control message 210-a a resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier that spans at least a portion of a first unlicensed band and a second unlicensed band. The base station 105-a may also send an uplink resource configuration via the control message 210 and / or the SIB 215, the uplink resource configuration including a set of frequency resources for the uplink transmission 220 and a set of regulation requirement parameters for the uplink transmission 220. Subsequently, the UE 115-a may send an uplink transmission 220 to the base station 105-a using the set of regulation requirement parameters indicated in the uplink resource configuration.

[0115] The techniques described herein may enable a single unlicensed carrier spanning two or more unlicensed bands to be associated with one or more sets of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., NS values). Specifically, the techniques described herein may enable a UE 115-a and / or a base station 105-a of a wireless communication system 200 to determine a set of regulation requirement parameters to be used by the UE 115-a for uplink transmission 220 on an unlicensed carrier, so that the resources of the unlicensed carrier may be effectively utilized without further subdividing the unlicensed carrier. In this regard, the techniques described herein facilitate effective and efficient utilization of time and frequency resources in the context of an unlicensed carrier.

[0116] Figure 3A and Figure 3B Examples of resource allocations 300-a and 300-b supporting configuration for a carrier overlapping multiple unlicensed bands in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure are illustrated. In some examples, resource allocations 300-a and 300-b may implement aspects of wireless communication systems 100 or 200.

[0117] As previously mentioned herein, some wireless communication systems may allow a single unlicensed carrier to be associated with a single set of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., a single NS value). However, when the bandwidth of the unlicensed carrier is greater than the bandwidth of the corresponding unlicensed band, this may result in a waste of resources or require the unlicensed carrier to be subdivided. Therefore, the techniques described herein may allow a single unlicensed carrier spanning multiple unlicensed bands to be associated with one or more sets of regulation requirement parameters. Specifically, the base station 105 may be configured to signal the regulation requirement parameter sets to the UE 115 at different granularities. In some aspects, the base station 105 may indicate one or more sets of regulation requirement parameters for each unlicensed band (e.g., on a per unlicensed band basis), for each subband or BWP (e.g., on a per BWP basis), or for each uplink transmission (e.g., on a per uplink transmission basis).

[0118] Now we will refer specifically to Figure 3A . In some aspects, UE 115 can receive a resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier 305-a (e.g., an NR-U carrier) from base station 105, which unlicensed carrier 305-a spans a first unlicensed band 310-a (e.g., a first U-NII band) and a second unlicensed band 310-a (e.g., a second U-NII band). In some aspects, the first unlicensed band 310-a can be associated with a first set of regulatory requirements and the second unlicensed band 310-b can be associated with a second set of regulatory requirements, which can be different from the first set of regulatory requirements.

[0119] In some cases, certain regulatory requirement parameters associated with the first unlicensed band 310-a may be more stringent (e.g., more conservative, more restrictive) than corresponding regulatory requirement parameters associated with the second unlicensed band 310-b. Conversely, certain regulatory requirement parameters associated with the second unlicensed band 310-b may be more stringent (e.g., more conservative, more restrictive) than corresponding regulatory requirement parameters associated with the first unlicensed band 310-a. In this regard, simply applying the first set of regulatory requirement parameters or the second set of regulatory requirement parameters to the entire unlicensed carrier 305-a may result in communications on the unlicensed carrier 305-a not complying with certain parameters of the first unlicensed band 310-a, the second unlicensed band 310-b, or both.

[0120] Thus, in some aspects, the base station 105 may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements between a first set of regulation requirement parameters associated with a first unlicensed band 310-a and a second set of regulation requirement parameters associated with a second unlicensed band 310-b. In this regard, the base station 105 may compare the sets of regulation requirement parameters associated with the first unlicensed band 310-a and the second unlicensed band 310-b, and may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements between the first and second sets of regulation requirement parameters. In this regard, the base station 105 may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements that comply with all relevant regulation requirement parameters of the first unlicensed band 310-a and the second unlicensed band 310-b. Subsequently, the base station 105 may indicate the subset of regulation requirement parameters to the UE 115 (e.g., via a downlink message such as a SIB). The UE 115 may then use the subset of regulation requirement parameters to communicate with the base station 105 on the unlicensed carrier 305-a. For example, as Figure 2 As shown, the UE 115-a may send an uplink transmission 315 to the base station 105-a via the unlicensed carrier 305-a using the subset of regulatory requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements.

[0121] By indicating a subset of single regulatory requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements for the unlicensed carrier 305-a, the base station 105 can ensure that communications at the UE 115 on the unlicensed carrier 305-a comply with the regulatory requirement parameters for both the first unlicensed band 310-a and the second unlicensed band 310-b.

[0122] In additional or alternative aspects, the UE 115 may receive (e.g., via the SIB) a plurality of sets of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., a plurality of NS values ​​for the unlicensed carrier 305-a) associated with an unlicensed carrier 305-a that spans a first unlicensed band 310-a and a second unlicensed band 310-b. For example, the UE 115 may receive a first set of regulation requirement parameters for the first unlicensed band 310-a, and a second set of regulation requirement parameters for the second unlicensed band 310-b. In this regard, the UE 115 may receive the set of regulation requirement parameters on a per-unlicensed band basis.

[0123] In this example, the UE 115 may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters from the first regulation requirement parameter set and the second regulation requirement parameter set to use for the uplink transmission 315 based on whether the frequency resources used for the uplink transmission 315 overlap with the first unlicensed band 310-a and the second unlicensed band 310-a. For example, if the set of frequency resources used for the uplink transmission 315-a is entirely within the first unlicensed band 310-a, the UE 115 may perform the uplink transmission 315-a using the first regulation requirement parameter set associated with the first unlicensed band 310-a. Similarly, if the set of frequency resources used for the uplink transmission 315-c is entirely within the second unlicensed band 310-b, the UE 115 may perform the uplink transmission 315-c using the second regulation requirement parameter set associated with the second unlicensed band 310-b.

[0124] In contrast, if the set of frequency resources used for uplink transmission 315-b overlaps with both the first unlicensed band 310-a and the second unlicensed band 310-b, UE 115 may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements between the first regulation requirement parameter set and the second regulation requirement parameter set. For example, UE 115 may compare a first regulation requirement parameter set associated with the first unlicensed band 310-a and a second regulation requirement parameter set associated with the second unlicensed band 310-b, and may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements for uplink transmission 315-b. Subsequently, UE 115 may use the subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements to send uplink transmission 315-b to base station 105.

[0125] In some aspects, the subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements (e.g., the most conservative requirements) may include a first regulation requirement parameter set associated with the first unlicensed band 310-a or a second regulation requirement parameter set associated with the second unlicensed band 310-b. Additionally or alternatively, the subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements may include one or more parameters from the first regulation requirement parameter set and one or more parameters from the second regulation requirement parameter set. In this regard, the subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements may include a mix of the first regulation requirement parameter set and the second regulation requirement parameter set.

[0126] For example, a first set of regulation requirement parameters may include a first PSD value and a first UE transmit value, and a second set of regulation requirement parameters may include a second PSD value and a second UE transmit value. In this example, the UE 115 may compare the first PSD value and the second PSD value, and may determine which PSD value has the most stringent requirement to be included in the subset of regulation requirement parameters. For example, the UE 115 may determine that the lowest PSD value between the first PSD value and the second PSD value has the most stringent requirement, and thus the lower PSD value of the first PSD value and the second PSD value may be included in the subset of regulation requirement parameters. Similarly, the UE 115 may compare the first UE transmit value and the second UE transmit value, and may determine which UE transmit value has the most stringent requirement to be included in the subset of regulation requirement parameters. For example, the UE 115 may determine that the lowest UE transmit value between the first UE transmit value and the second UE transmit value has the most stringent requirement, and thus the lower of the first UE transmit value and the second UE transmit value may be included in the subset of regulation requirement parameters. Subsequently, the UE 115 may send an uplink transmission 315-b using the subset of regulation requirement parameters with the most stringent requirement.

[0127] In additional or alternative aspects, the UE 115 may receive multiple sets of regulation requirement parameters for an unlicensed carrier 305-b across multiple unlicensed bands on a per-BWP basis (e.g., via a SIB). Figure 3B , the UE 115 may receive a first set of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., a first NS value) for a first configured BWP 320-a for an unlicensed carrier 305-b, and a second set of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., a second NS value) for a second configured BWP 320-a for the unlicensed carrier 305-b.

[0128] In this example, the UE 115 may determine a set of regulation requirement parameters for the uplink transmission 315 from the first and second regulation requirement parameter sets based on whether the frequency resources used for the uplink transmission 315 overlap with the first configured BWP 320-a and the second configured BWP 320-b. For example, if the set of frequency resources used for the uplink transmission 315-d is completely within the first configured BWP 320-a, the UE 115 may perform the uplink transmission 315-d using the first set of regulation requirement parameters associated with the first configured BWP 320-a. Similarly, if the set of frequency resources used for the uplink transmission 315-f is completely within the second configured BWP 320-b, the UE 115 may perform the uplink transmission 315-f using the second set of regulation requirement parameters associated with the second configured BWP 320-b.

[0129] In addition, in a case where the UE 115 determines that a set of frequency resources for uplink transmission 315 corresponds to a configured BWP 320 (e.g., a first configured BWP 320-a, a second configured BWP 320-b) that is entirely within an unlicensed band (e.g., entirely within the first unlicensed band 310-a or the second unlicensed band 310-b), the UE 115 may perform uplink transmission based on the configured BWP 320 being entirely within the first or second unlicensed band 310, using a set of adjustment requirement parameters associated with the corresponding configured BWP 320 and / or unlicensed band 310.

[0130] In contrast, if the set of frequency resources used for uplink transmission 315-e overlaps with both the first configured BWP 320-a and the second configured BWP 320-b, UE 115 may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements between the first set of regulation requirement parameters associated with the first configured BWP 320-a and the second set of regulation requirement parameters associated with the second configured BWP 320-b. For example, UE 115 may compare the regulation requirement parameters associated with the first configured BWP 320-a and the second configured BWP 320-b, and may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements for uplink transmission 315-e. Subsequently, UE 115 may use the subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements to send uplink transmission 315-e to base station 105.

[0131] In addition, in a case where the UE 115 determines that a set of frequency resources for uplink transmission 315 corresponds to a configured BWP 320 (e.g., a first configured BWP 320-a, a second configured BWP 320-b) that overlaps with multiple unlicensed bands (e.g., overlaps with a first unlicensed band 310-a and a second unlicensed band 310-b), the UE 115 may perform the uplink transmission 315 using a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements among the sets of regulation requirement parameters associated with the first unlicensed band 310-a and the second unlicensed band 310-b based on the overlap of the configured BWP 320 with the first unlicensed band 310-a and the second unlicensed band 310-b.

[0132] In additional or alternative aspects, the UE 115 may receive (e.g., via the SIB) a set of adjustment requirement parameters for each individual uplink transmission 315. In this regard, the UE 115 may receive the set of adjustment requirement parameters on a per uplink transmission basis. For example, referring again to Figure 3A, UE 115 can receive a resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier 305-a that spans at least a portion of a first unlicensed band 310-a and at least a portion of a second unlicensed band 310-b. UE 115 can also receive an uplink resource configuration that includes a set of frequency resources for uplink transmission 315-a and a set of regulation requirement parameters for uplink transmission 315-a. Subsequently, UE 115-a can send an uplink transmission 315-a to base station 105-a using the set of regulation requirement parameters indicated in the uplink resource configuration. Similarly, UE 115 can also receive an uplink resource configuration that includes a set of frequency resources for uplink transmission 315-b and a set of regulation requirement parameters for uplink transmission 315-b. The UE 115 may then send an uplink transmission 315 - b to the base station 105 using the set of conditioning requirement parameters indicated in the uplink resource configuration.

[0133] The techniques described herein may enable an unlicensed carrier 305 spanning two or more unlicensed bands 310 to be associated with one or more sets of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., NS values). Specifically, the techniques described herein may enable a UE 115 and / or a base station 105 to determine a set of regulation requirement parameters to be used by the UE 115 for uplink transmissions 315 on the unlicensed carrier 305 so that resources of the unlicensed carrier 305 may be effectively utilized. In this regard, the techniques described herein may facilitate effective and efficient utilization of time and frequency resources in the context of an unlicensed carrier.

[0134] Figure 4 An example of a process flow 400 for supporting configuration of a carrier overlapping with multiple unlicensed bands according to aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, the process flow 400 can implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100 or 200 or resource allocation 300-a or 300-b. The process flow 400 can be described as referring to Figures 1 to 3B Receiving a regulation requirement parameter corresponding to an unlicensed carrier, identifying a set of regulation requirement parameters for an uplink transmission, and sending an uplink transmission, among other aspects, are described.

[0135] In some aspects, process flow 400 may include UE 115-b and base station 105-b, which may be examples of corresponding devices as described herein. Figure 4 The UE 115-b described in Figure 2 Similarly, in Figure 4The base station 105-b described in Figure 2 An example of a base station 105-a is illustrated in FIG.

[0136] In some aspects, the operations illustrated in process flow 400 may be performed by hardware (e.g., including circuit systems, processing blocks, logic components, and other components), code executed by a processor (e.g., software or firmware), or any combination thereof. The following alternative examples may be implemented in which some of the steps are performed in a different order than described or not performed at all. In some cases, the steps may include additional features not mentioned below, or additional steps may be added.

[0137] At 405, UE 115-b may receive one or more sets of regulation requirement parameters corresponding to an unlicensed carrier from base station 105-b. In some aspects, the unlicensed carrier may span (e.g., cross) at least a portion of a first unlicensed band (e.g., a first U-NII band) associated with a first set of regulation requirements, and at least a portion of a second unlicensed band (e.g., a second U-NII band) associated with a second set of regulation requirements. The regulation requirements associated with the corresponding sets of regulation requirement parameters may include any regulation or standard requirements known in the art, including but not limited to EIRP values, PSD power values, MPR values ​​(e.g., A-MPR values), UE transmit values, etc.

[0138] In some aspects, the base station 105-b may send a SIB to the UE 115-b, wherein the SIB includes an indication of one or more regulation requirement parameter sets. For example, in some cases, the SIB (or other downlink message) indicated by the base station 105 may indicate a first regulation requirement parameter set associated with a first unlicensed band and a second regulation requirement set associated with a second unlicensed band. In this example, the base station 105 may indicate a set of regulation requirement sets on a per-unlicensed band basis. As another example, in other cases, the base station 105 may indicate a first regulation requirement parameter set associated with a first configured BWP of an unlicensed carrier, and a second regulation requirement set associated with a second configured BWP of an unlicensed carrier. In this example, the base station 105 may indicate a set of regulation requirement sets on a per-BWP basis.

[0139] At 410, UE 115-b may identify a set (or subset) of conditioning requirement parameters for uplink transmissions. In some aspects, UE 115-b may determine the set of conditioning requirement parameters for uplink transmissions based on the one or more sets of conditioning requirement parameters indicated at 405. In additional aspects, UE 115-b may determine the set of conditioning requirement parameters for uplink transmissions based on whether the set of frequency resources used for uplink transmissions overlaps with the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band.

[0140] For example, where a first set of regulation requirement parameters is associated with a first unlicensed band and a second set of regulation requirement parameters is associated with a second unlicensed band, UE 115-b may determine that a set of frequency resources for uplink transmission is entirely within the first unlicensed band or the second unlicensed band (or corresponds to a configured BWP entirely within the first unlicensed band or the second unlicensed band). In this example, UE 115-b may select the first set of regulation requirement parameters or the second set of regulation requirement parameters as a set of regulation requirement parameters for uplink transmission based on the set of resources being entirely within the first unlicensed band or entirely within the second unlicensed band (or based on the set of resources corresponding to a configured BWP entirely within the first unlicensed band or the second unlicensed band). For example, if the frequency set of uplink transmission resources is entirely within the first unlicensed band (or corresponds to a configured BWP entirely within the first unlicensed band), UE 115-b may select the first set of regulation requirement parameters. Similarly, if the frequency set of uplink transmission resources is entirely within the second unlicensed band (or corresponds to a configured BWP entirely within the second unlicensed band), UE 115-b may select the second set of regulation requirement parameters.

[0141] In contrast, UE 115-b may determine that a set of frequency resources for uplink transmission overlaps with the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band (or corresponds to a configured BWP that overlaps with the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band). In this example, UE 115-b may select a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements between the first regulation requirement parameter set and the second regulation requirement parameter set from the first regulation requirement parameter set and the second regulation requirement parameter set as the set of regulation requirement parameters for uplink transmission. UE 115-b may select a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements based on a set of frequency resources for uplink transmission that overlaps with the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band (or based on a set of frequency resources corresponding to a configured BWP that overlaps with the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band).

[0142] In some aspects, the subset of adjustment requirement parameters with the most stringent requirements (e.g., the most conservative requirements) may include the first adjustment requirement parameter set or the second adjustment requirement parameter set. Additionally or alternatively, the subset of adjustment requirement parameters with the most stringent requirements may include one or more parameters from the first adjustment requirement parameter set and one or more parameters from the second adjustment requirement parameter set. In this regard, the subset of adjustment requirement parameters with the most stringent requirements may include a mixture of the first adjustment requirement parameter set and the second adjustment requirement parameter set.

[0143] For example, a first set of regulation requirement parameters may include a first PSD value and a first UE transmit value, and a second set of regulation requirement parameters may include a second PSD value and a second UE transmit value. In this example, UE 115-b may compare the first PSD value and the second PSD value, and may determine which PSD value has the most stringent requirement to be included in the subset of regulation requirement parameters. For example, UE 115-b may determine that the lowest PSD value between the first PSD value and the second PSD value has the most stringent requirement, and thus may include the lower PSD value of the first PSD value and the second PSD value in the subset of regulation requirement parameters. Similarly, UE 115-b may compare the first UE transmit value and the second UE transmit value, and may determine which UE transmit value has the most stringent requirement to be included in the subset of regulation requirement parameters. For example, UE 115-b may determine that the lowest UE transmit value between the first UE transmit value and the second UE transmit value has the most stringent requirement, and thus may include the lower of the first UE transmit value and the second UE transmit value in the subset of regulation requirement parameters.

[0144] At 415, UE 115-b may send an uplink transmission to base station 105-b. In some aspects, UE 115-b may send an uplink transmission to base station 105-a at 415 based on receiving one or more sets of adjustment requirement parameters at 405, determining a set (or subset) of adjustment requirement parameters at 410, or both.

[0145] The techniques described herein may enable a single unlicensed carrier spanning a first unlicensed band and a second unlicensed band to be associated with a first set of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., a first NS value) and a second set of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., a second NS value). Specifically, UE 115-b may be able to determine whether to use the first set of regulation requirement parameters or the second set of regulation requirement parameters, or a mixture of the two (e.g., a subset of regulation requirement parameters with the most stringent requirements) for uplink transmission based on whether a set of frequency resources associated with the uplink transmission overlaps with the first unlicensed band and the second unlicensed band. In this regard, the techniques described herein may facilitate effective and efficient use of time and frequency resources in the context of an unlicensed carrier.

[0146] Figure 5 An example of a process flow 500 for supporting configuration for a carrier overlapping with multiple unlicensed bands according to aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, the process flow 500 can implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100 or 200 or resource allocation 300-a or 300-b. The process flow 500 can be described as referring to Figures 1 to 3BReceiving a resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier, receiving an uplink resource configuration indicating a set of regulation requirement parameters for an uplink transmission, and sending an uplink transmission, among other aspects, are described.

[0147] In some aspects, process flow 500 may include UE 115-c and base station 105-c, which may be examples of corresponding devices as described herein. Figure 5 The UE 115-c described in Figure 2 Similarly, in Figure 5 The base station 105-c shown in FIG. Figure 2 An example of a base station 105-a is shown in FIG.

[0148] In some aspects, the operations illustrated in process flow 500 may be performed by hardware (e.g., including circuit systems, processing blocks, logic components, and other components), code executed by a processor (e.g., software or firmware), or any combination thereof. The following alternative examples may be implemented in which some of the steps are performed in a different order than described or not performed at all. In some cases, the steps may include additional features not mentioned below, or additional steps may be added.

[0149] At 505, the base station 105-c may send a resource allocation for the unlicensed carrier to the UE 115-b. In some aspects, the unlicensed carrier may span (e.g., span) at least a portion of a first unlicensed band associated with a first set of regulation requirements (e.g., a first U-NII band) and at least a portion of a second unlicensed band associated with a second set of regulation requirements (e.g., a second U-NII band). In some aspects, the resource allocation sent at 505 may be indicated in a control message, a configuration message, or other downlink transmission from the base station 105-c. The regulation requirements associated with the corresponding set of regulation requirement parameters may include any regulation or standard requirements known in the art, including but not limited to EIRP values, PSD power values, MPR values ​​(e.g., A-MPR values), UE transmit values, etc.

[0150] At 510, the base station 105-c may send an uplink resource configuration to the UE 115-c. In some aspects, the uplink resource configuration may indicate a set of frequency resources for uplink transmissions. In additional or alternative aspects, the uplink resource configuration may indicate a set of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., NS values) for uplink transmissions. In this regard, the base station 105-c may indicate the set of regulation requirement parameters to the UE 115-c via the uplink resource configuration on a per uplink transmission basis.

[0151] The uplink transmission may include a dynamically configured physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, a semi-statically configured PUSCH transmission, an uplink control message (e.g., a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) message, a physical random access channel (PRACH) message), a reference signal (e.g., SRS), or any combination thereof. Similarly, the uplink resource configuration message may include an uplink grant, a configured grant, a downlink control information (DCI) message (e.g., an activation DCI message), a resource configuration message, or any combination thereof. For example, in the case where the uplink transmission includes a dynamically configured PUSCH transmission, the uplink resource configuration may include an uplink grant. As another example, in the case where the uplink transmission includes a semi-statically configured PUSCH transmission, the uplink resource configuration may include a configured grant or an activation DCI message. As another example, in the case where the uplink transmission includes an uplink control message or a reference signal, the uplink resource configuration may include a resource configuration message for the uplink control message or the reference signal.

[0152] In some aspects, the base station 105-c may determine a set of regulation requirement parameters for uplink transmission based on a set of frequency resources used for uplink transmission. For example, in a case where the frequency resource set is entirely within a first unlicensed band, the base station 105-c may determine that the resource parameter set for uplink transmission includes a set of regulation requirement parameters associated with the first unlicensed band. Similarly, in a case where the frequency resource set is entirely within a second unlicensed band, the base station 105-c may determine that the resource parameter set for uplink transmission includes a set of regulation requirement parameters associated with the second unlicensed band. As another example, in a case where the frequency resource set overlaps with a first and a second unlicensed band, the base station 105-c may determine that the resource parameter set for uplink transmission includes a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements between the corresponding regulation requirement parameters associated with the first and second unlicensed bands.

[0153] At 515, the UE 115-c may send an uplink transmission to the base station 105-c. In some aspects, the UE 115-c may send the uplink transmission to the base station 105-c at 515 based on receiving the resource allocation at 505, receiving the uplink resource configuration at 510, or both. For example, the UE 115-c may send the uplink transmission using the set of adjustment requirement parameters indicated in the uplink resource configuration.

[0154] The techniques described herein can improve resource utilization associated with a single unlicensed carrier that spans a first unlicensed band and a second unlicensed band. Specifically, by signaling to the UE 115-c a set of regulation requirement parameters for each respective uplink transmission (e.g., on a per-uplink transmission basis), the base station 105-d can ensure that each uplink transmission complies with the applicable regulation requirement parameters associated with the first and second unlicensed bands. In this regard, the techniques described herein can facilitate effective and efficient utilization of time and frequency resources in the context of an unlicensed carrier.

In some examples, the process flow 600 can implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100 or 200 or the resource allocation 300-a or 300-b. The process flow 600 can illustrate the process flow of FIG. Figures 1 to 3B Determining a subset of regulatory requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements, sending a resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier, sending the subset of regulatory requirement parameters, and receiving an uplink transmission, among other aspects, are described.

[0156] In some aspects, process flow 600 may include UE 115-d and base station 105-d, which may be examples of corresponding devices as described herein. Figure 6 The UE 115-d shown in FIG. 1 may be a Figure 2 115-a. Figure 6 The base station 105-d shown in FIG. 1 may be a base station 105-d in FIG. Figure 2 An example of a base station 105-a is shown in FIG.

[0157] In some aspects, the operations illustrated in process flow 600 may be performed by hardware (e.g., including circuits, processing blocks, logic components, and other components), code executed by a processor (e.g., software or firmware), or any combination thereof. The following alternative examples may be implemented in which some of the steps are performed in a different order than described or not performed at all. In some cases, the steps may include additional features not mentioned below, or additional steps may be added.

[0158] At 605, the base station 105-d may determine a subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements between a first regulation requirement parameter set associated with a first unlicensed band (e.g., a first U-NII band) and a second regulation requirement parameter set associated with a second unlicensed band (e.g., a second U-NII band). For example, the base station 105-d may determine a first regulation requirement parameter set associated with the first unlicensed band, and may determine a second regulation requirement parameter set associated with the second unlicensed band. In this example, the base station 105-d may compare the first regulation requirement parameter set and the second regulation requirement parameter set to determine the subset of regulation requirement parameters having the most stringent requirements. The regulation requirements associated with the corresponding set of regulation requirement parameters may include any regulation or standard requirements known in the art, including but not limited to EIRP values, PSD power values, MPR values ​​(e.g., A-MPR values), UE transmit values, etc.

[0159] At 610, the base station 105-d may send a resource allocation for the unlicensed carrier to the UE 115-d. In some aspects, the unlicensed carrier may span (e.g., straddle) at least a portion of an associated first unlicensed band and at least a portion of a second unlicensed band. In some aspects, the resource allocation sent at 610 may be indicated in a control message, a configuration message, or other downlink transmission from the base station 105-c.

[0160] At 615, the base station 105-d may send an indication of a subset of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., NS values) for uplink transmissions on the unlicensed carrier. In this regard, the base station 105-d may send a single subset of regulation requirement parameters (e.g., a single NS value) for the unlicensed carrier (e.g., on a per unlicensed carrier basis). In some aspects, the base station 105-d may send an indication of the subset of regulation requirement parameters at 615 based on determining the subset of regulation requirement parameters at 605, sending the resource allocation at 610, or both.

[0161] At 620, the UE 115-d may send an uplink transmission to the base station 105-d. In some aspects, the UE 115-d may send an uplink transmission to the base station 105-d at 620 based on receiving the resource allocation at 610, receiving the indication of the subset of adjustment requirement parameters at 615, or both.

[0162] The techniques described herein can improve resource utilization associated with a single unlicensed carrier that spans a first unlicensed band and a second unlicensed band. Specifically, by signaling to a UE 115-c a subset of a single regulation requirement parameter for uplink transmissions on an unlicensed carrier (e.g., on a per-unlicensed carrier basis), a base station 105-d can ensure that uplink transmissions performed via the unlicensed carrier comply with the applicable regulation requirement parameters associated with the first and second unlicensed bands. In this regard, the techniques described herein can facilitate effective and efficient utilization of time and frequency resources in the context of an unlicensed carrier.

[0163] Figure 7 A block diagram 700 of a device 705 supporting configuration for a carrier overlapping with multiple unlicensed bands according to aspects of the present disclosure is shown. The device 705 may be an example of aspects of a UE 115 as described herein. The device 705 may include a receiver 710, a communication manager 715, and a transmitter 720. The device 705 may also include a processor. Each of these components may communicate with each other (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0164] The receiver 710 may receive information such as packets, user data, or control information associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, and information related to configuration for carriers overlapping with multiple unlicensed bands, etc.). The information may be passed to other components of the device 705. The receiver 710 may be a reference Fig.10 Examples of various aspects of the transceiver 1020 are described.

The communication manager 715 may also receive a resource allocation for an unlicensed carrier, the unlicensed carrier spanning at least a portion of a first unlicensed band associated with a first regulation requirement set and at least a portion of a second unlicensed band associated with a second regulation requirement set; receive an uplink resource configuration indicating a set of frequency resources for uplink transmission and a set of regulation requirement parameters for uplink transmission; and use the set of regulation requirement parameters to send uplink transmission. The communication manager 715 may be an example of aspects of the communication manager 1010 described herein.

[0166] The actions performed by the communication manager 715 as described herein may be implemented to achieve one or more potential advantages. For example, enabling a single unlicensed carrier spanning multiple unlicensed bands to be associated with multiple regulation requirement parameter sets may facilitate effective and efficient utilization of time and frequency resources in the context of an unlicensed carrier. Thus, by improving resource utilization, the efficiency and reliability of wireless communications over an unlicensed carrier may be reduced, and the number of UEs 115 that may be supported by an unlicensed carrier may be increased.

[0167] By enabling a single unlicensed carrier spanning multiple unlicensed bands to be associated with multiple sets of regulation requirement parameters, a processor of UE 115 (e.g., a processor controlling receiver 710, communication manager 715, transmitter 720, etc.) can reduce processing resources used for uplink communications. For example, by enabling UE 115 to utilize the entire bandwidth of the unlicensed carrier, a larger amount of data can be transmitted for each uplink transmission, thereby correspondingly reducing the number of times the processor ramps up processing power and turns on processing units to handle uplink transmissions.

[0168] The communication manager 715 or its subcomponents may be implemented in hardware, in code executed by a processor (e.g., software or firmware), or any combination thereof.
