Description

Technical Field

[0001]

[0006] Generally speaking, aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications and to techniques and apparatus for multiplexing uplink control information for user equipment having multiple panels. Background Art

[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple access technologies that can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and long term evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard released by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0003] A wireless network may include several base stations (BS) that can support communications for several user equipments (UEs). User equipments (UEs) may communicate with base stations (BSs) via downlinks and uplinks. A downlink (or forward link) refers to a communication link from a BS to a UE, while an uplink (or reverse link) refers to a communication link from a UE to a BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, gNB, access point (AP), radio head, transmit receive point (TRP), new radio (NR) BS, 5G Node B, etc.

[0004] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user devices to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global level. New Radio (NR) (which may also be referred to as 5G) is an enhancement set to the LTE mobile standard released by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). NR is designed to better integrate with other open standards by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving services, utilizing new spectrum, and using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) with cyclic prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL), using CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also referred to as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), so as to better support mobile broadband Internet access, as well as support beamforming, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna technology and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, it is still useful to further improve LTE, NR and other radio access technologies. Summary of the invention

[0031] The following is a more complete description of various aspects of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure can be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout the present disclosure. More specifically, these aspects are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and the scope of the present disclosure will be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the present disclosure disclosed herein, whether the aspect is implemented independently of any other aspect of the present disclosure or implemented in combination with any other aspect of the present disclosure. For example, using any number of aspects set forth herein, a device can be implemented or a method can be implemented. In addition, the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover such a device or method implemented using other structures, functionality, or structure and functionality other than the various aspects of the present disclosure set forth herein or different from the various aspects of the present disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the present disclosure disclosed herein can be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0032] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as "elements"). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0033] It should be noted that although various aspects may be described herein using terminology generally associated with 5G or NR radio access technologies (RATs), various aspects of the present disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RATs, 4G RATs, and / or RATs beyond 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0034] Figure 1is a diagram showing an example of a wireless network 100 according to various aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (NR) network, an LTE network, etc. The wireless network 100 may include several base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, Node B, gNB, 5G Node B (NB), access point, transmit receive point (TRP), etc. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to a coverage area of ​​a BS and / or a BS subsystem serving the coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0035] A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and / or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a residence) and may allow restricted access by UEs associated with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A BS for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro BS. A BS for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In Figure 1 In the example shown in , BS 110a may be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b may be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c may be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS may support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms "eNB", "base station", "NR BS", "gNB", "TRP", "AP", "Node B", "5G NB", and "cell" may be used interchangeably herein.

[0036] In some aspects, the cells may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of ​​the cells may move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may be interconnected with each other and / or with one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections, virtual networks, etc.) using any suitable transport network.

[0037] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity that can receive data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown in , relay BS 110d may communicate with macro BS 110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay BS may also be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, relay, or the like.

[0038] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network including different types of BSs (e.g., macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc.). These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, a macro BS may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while a pico BS, a femto BS, and a relay BS may have a lower transmit power level (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0039] A network controller 130 may be coupled to a set of BSs and may provide coordination and control for these BSs. The network controller 130 may communicate with the BSs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicate with each other via a wireless or wired backhaul (eg, directly or indirectly).

[0040] UE 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) can be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE can be stationary or mobile. UE can also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, subscriber unit, station, etc. UE can be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet device, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or apparatus, a biometric sensor / device, a wearable device (smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio unit), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, an industrial manufacturing device, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0041] Some UEs may be considered as machine type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, etc., which may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide a connection to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or a cellular network) via, for example, a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs may be considered as customer premises equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE 120 (such as a processor component, a memory component, etc.). In some aspects, a processor component and a memory component may be coupled together. For example, a processor component (e.g., one or more processors) and a memory component (e.g., a memory) may be operationally coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, electrically coupled, etc.

[0042] Generally, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. RAT can also be referred to as radio technology, air interface, etc. Frequency can also be referred to as carrier, channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographic area to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0043] In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate with each other). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol, etc.), mesh network, etc. In this case, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by base station 110.

[0044] The devices of the wireless network 100 can communicate using an electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, frequency bands, channels, etc. based on frequency or wavelength. For example, the devices of the wireless network 100 can communicate using an operating frequency band having a first frequency range (FR1) (which can span from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz), and / or can communicate using an operating frequency band having a second frequency range (FR2) (which can span from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz). Frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as intermediate frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as a "sub-6 GHz" band. Similarly, FR2 is often referred to as a "millimeter wave" band, although FR2 is different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz–300 GHz) identified as a "millimeter wave" band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Therefore, unless otherwise expressly stated, it should be understood that the term "sub-6 GHz" and the like (if used herein) can broadly represent frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or intermediate frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless explicitly stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term "millimeter wave" and the like (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or intermediate frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is contemplated that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 may be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0045] As pointed out above, Figure 1 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figure 1 Examples described.

[0046] Figure 2 2 is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of a base station 110 in a wireless network 100 communicating with a UE 120 in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a through 234t, and the UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a through 252r, where in general, T≥1 and R≥1.

[0047] At the base station 110, the transmit processor 220 may receive data for one or more UEs from the data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on a channel quality indicator (CQI) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for the UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for each UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. The transmit processor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI), etc.) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, upper layer signaling, etc.), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS), demodulation reference signals (DMRS), etc.) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signals (PSS) and secondary synchronization signals (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MOD) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 may process a corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t may be transmitted via T antennas 234a to 234t, respectively.

[0048] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r may receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations, and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMOD) 254a to 254r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain received symbols. MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols (if applicable), and provide detected symbols. Receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor may determine reference signal received power (RSRP), received signal strength indicator (RSSI), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), channel quality indicator (CQI), etc. In some aspects, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284 .

[0049] The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller / processor 290, and a memory 292. The network controller 130 may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. The network controller 130 may communicate with the base station 110 via the communication unit 294.

[0050] On the uplink, at the UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information from a controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, etc.). The transmit processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 (if applicable), further processed by modulators 254a to 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, etc.), and transmitted to the base station 110. In some aspects, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antennas 252, modulators and / or demodulators 254, MIMO detectors 256, receive processors 258, transmit processors 264, and / or TX MIMO processors 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (eg, controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein, for example, as described with reference to Figure 3-15 Described.

[0051] At the base station 110, uplink signals from the UE 120 and other UEs may be received by the antenna 234, processed by the demodulator 232, detected by the MIMO detector 236 (if applicable), and further processed by the receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to the data sink 239 and provide the decoded control information to the controller / processor 240. The base station 110 may include a communication unit 244 and communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The base station 110 may include a scheduler 246 that schedules the UE 120 for downlink and / or uplink communications. In some aspects, the base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antennas 234, modulators and / or demodulators 232, MIMO detectors 236, receive processors 238, transmit processors 220, and / or TX MIMO processors 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (eg, controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein, for example, as described with reference to Figure 3-15 Described.

[0052] The controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component in the base station 110 may perform one or more techniques associated with multiplexing uplink control information (UCI) for a UE having multiple panels, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component in may perform or direct e.g. Fig.12 The process 1200 Fig.13 1300 and / or operations of other processes as described herein. Memories 242 and 282 may store data and program codes for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code, program code, etc.) for wireless communication. For example, one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly, or after compilation, conversion, interpretation, etc.), may cause one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 to perform or direct, for example, Fig.12 The process 1200 Fig.13The process 1300 and / or operations of other processes as described herein. In some aspects, executing instructions may include running instructions, converting instructions, compiling instructions, interpreting instructions, etc.

[0053] In some aspects, the UE 120 may include: a unit for determining that a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to be transmitted on a first antenna panel of the UE and downlink control information (DCI) of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to be transmitted on a second antenna panel of the UE will overlap with a PUSCH; a unit for determining to transmit UCI on one or more of the PUCCH or the PUSCH based at least in part on the determination that the PUCCH will overlap with the PUSCH; a unit for transmitting UCI on one or more of the PUCCH or the PUSCH based at least in part on the determination that the UCI is to be transmitted on one or more of the PUCCH or the PUSCH; etc. In some aspects, such a unit may include a unit for determining that the PUCCH will overlap with the PUSCH based at least in part on the determination that the UCI is to be transmitted on one or more of the PUCCH or the PUSCH; etc. In some aspects, such a unit may include a unit for determining that the PUCCH will overlap with the PUSCH based at least in part on the determination that the UCI is to be transmitted on one or more of the PUCCH or the PUSCH; etc. Figure 2 One or more components of UE 120 are depicted, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, etc.

[0054] In some aspects, the base station 110 may include: means for transmitting a first DCI that schedules a PUCCH to be transmitted on a first antenna panel of the UE and a second DCI that schedules a PUSCH to be transmitted on a second antenna panel of the UE, wherein the PUCCH will overlap with the PUSCH; means for receiving UCI associated with the first DCI and the second DCI on one of the PUCCH or the PUSCH; etc. In some aspects, such means may include combining Figure 2 One or more components of base station 110 are depicted, such as antenna 234, DEMOD 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller / processor 240, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, MOD 232, antenna 234, and the like.

[0055] Although Figure 2 The blocks in the 200 and 210 are shown as distinct components, but the functionality described above with respect to these blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functionality described with respect to the transmit processor 264, the receive processor 258, and / or the TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of the controller / processor 280.

[0056] As pointed out above, Figure 2is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figure 2 Examples described.

[0057] Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of a time slot format according to various aspects of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the time-frequency resources in the radio access network can be divided into resource blocks, shown by a single resource block (RB) 305. RB 305 is sometimes referred to as a physical resource block (PRB). RB 305 includes a subcarrier set (e.g., 12 subcarriers) and a symbol set (e.g., 14 symbols) that can be scheduled as a unit by base station 110. In some aspects, RB 305 may include a subcarrier set in a single time slot. As shown, a single time-frequency resource included in RB 305 may be referred to as a resource element (RE) 310. RE 310 may include a single subcarrier (e.g., in frequency) and a single symbol (e.g., in time). A symbol may be referred to as an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol. RE 310 may be used to send a modulated symbol, which may be a real value or a complex value.

[0058] In some telecommunication systems (e.g., NR), RB 305 may span 12 subcarriers over a 0.1 millisecond (ms) duration, with subcarrier spacings of, for example, 15 kilohertz (kHz), 30kHz, 60kHz, or 120kHz, as well as other examples. A radio frame may include 40 time slots and may have a length of 10ms. Thus, each time slot may have a length of 0.25ms. However, the time slot length may be changed according to the numerology used for communication (e.g., subcarrier spacing, cyclic prefix format, etc.). A time slot may be configured with a link direction (e.g., downlink or uplink) for transmission. In some aspects, the link direction of a time slot may be dynamically configured. In some communication systems (such as 5G or NR), a UE may send communications to a base station on a physical uplink channel (e.g., PUCCH, PUSCH, etc.) in one or more time slots.

[0059] As pointed out above, Figure 3 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figure 3 Examples described.

[0060] Figure 44 is a diagram illustrating an example of a downlink (DL)-centric time slot or wireless communication structure in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. The DL-centric time slot may include a control portion 402. The control portion 402 may be present at an initial or beginning portion of the DL-centric time slot. The control portion 402 may include various scheduling information and / or control information corresponding to various portions of the DL-centric time slot. In some configurations, the control portion 402 may be a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), such as Figure 4 In some aspects, the control portion 402 may include legacy PDCCH information, shortened PDCCH (sPDCCH) information, a control format indicator (CFI) value (e.g., carried on a physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH)), one or more grants (e.g., downlink grant, uplink grant, etc.), etc.

[0061] The DL-centric time slot may also include a DL data portion 404. The DL data portion 404 may sometimes be referred to as the payload of the DL-centric time slot. The DL data portion 404 may include communication resources for transmitting DL data from a scheduling entity (e.g., a UE or BS) to a subordinate entity (e.g., a UE). In some configurations, the DL data portion 404 may be a physical DL shared channel (PDSCH).

[0062] The DL-centric time slot may also include an uplink (UL) short burst portion 406. The UL short burst portion 406 may sometimes be referred to as a UL burst, a UL burst portion, a common UL burst, a short burst, a UL short burst, a common UL short burst, a common UL short burst portion, and / or various other appropriate terms. In some aspects, the UL short burst portion 406 may include one or more reference signals. Additionally or alternatively, the UL short burst portion 406 may include feedback information corresponding to various other portions of the DL-centric time slot. For example, the UL short burst portion 406 may include feedback information corresponding to the control portion 402 and / or the data portion 404. Non-limiting examples of information that may be included in the UL short burst portion 406 include an acknowledgement (ACK) signal (e.g., PUCCH ACK, PUSCH ACK, immediate ACK), a negative acknowledgement (NACK) signal (e.g., PUCCH NACK, PUSCH NACK, immediate NACK), a scheduling request (SR), a buffer status report (BSR), a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) indicator, a channel state indication (CSI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), a sounding reference signal (SRS), a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), PUSCH data, and / or various other suitable types of information. The UL short burst portion 406 may include additional or alternative information, such as information related to a random access channel (RACH) procedure, a scheduling request, and various other suitable types of information.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, the end of the DL data portion 404 can be separated in time from the beginning of the UL short burst portion 406. This time separation may sometimes be referred to as a gap, a guard period, a guard interval, and / or various other appropriate terms. This separation provides time for switching from DL communication (e.g., a receive operation performed by a slave entity (e.g., a UE)) to UL communication (e.g., a transmit operation performed by a slave entity (e.g., a UE)). The foregoing is an example of a DL-centric wireless communication structure, and alternative structures with similar features may exist without necessarily departing from the aspects described herein.

[0064] As pointed out above, Figure 4 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figure 4 Examples described.

[0065] Figure 5 5 is a diagram 500 illustrating an example of a UL-centric time slot or wireless communication structure in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. The UL-centric time slot may include a control portion 502. The control portion 502 may be present at an initial or beginning portion of the UL-centric time slot. Figure 5The control portion 502 in can be similar to the above reference Figure 5 The control portion 502 described above. The UL-centric time slot may also include a UL long burst portion 504. The UL long burst portion 504 may sometimes be referred to as the payload of the UL-centric time slot. The UL portion may refer to communication resources used to transmit UL data from a subordinate entity (e.g., a UE) to a scheduling entity (e.g., a UE or a BS). In some configurations, the control portion 502 may be a PDCCH.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, the end of the control portion 502 can be separated in time from the beginning of the UL long burst portion 504. This time separation may sometimes be referred to as a gap, a guard period, a guard interval, and / or various other appropriate terms. This separation provides time for switching from DL communication (e.g., receiving operations performed by the scheduling entity) to UL communication (e.g., transmitting by the scheduling entity).

[0067] The UL-centric timeslot may also include a UL short burst portion 506 . Figure 5 The UL short burst portion 506 in the embodiment may be similar to that described above with reference to Figure 4 The UL short burst portion 406 described above may include the combination of Figure 4 Any of the information described herein. The foregoing is one example of a UL-centric wireless communication structure, and alternative structures with similar features may exist without necessarily departing from aspects described herein.

[0068] As pointed out above, Figure 5 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figure 5 Examples described.

[0069] Figure 6 An example 600 of transmission with multiple antenna panels in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure is shown.

[0070] The UE may use multiple antenna panels for transmission or reception, and may use different kinds of information to distinguish each antenna panel from other antenna panels. Although antenna panels or antenna panel identifiers (IDs) are used herein for discussion purposes, antenna panels may be associated with a signal or channel set, and correspondingly, antenna panel IDs may be derived or associated with a signal or channel ID set. For example, a control resource set (CORESET) may be configured with a CORESET pool index. A first antenna panel may be associated with a DCI in a CORESET having a first CORESET pool index value (e.g., 0), and a second antenna panel may be associated with a DCI in a CORESET having a second CORESET pool index value (e.g., 1). Other information may be used to distinguish antenna panels. An SRS set ID or an SRS resource ID may be associated with a first antenna panel, and another SRS set ID or an SRS resource ID may be associated with a second antenna panel. A beam ID or a beam group ID may be associated with a first antenna panel, and another beam ID or a beam group ID may be associated with a second antenna panel.

[0071] The beam may be configured with a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state or spatial filter setting for downlink reception or uplink transmission, or the beam may be configured with indicated spatial relationship information for transmitting an uplink signal. In some aspects, the beam may be indicated by a reference signal (RS) such as a synchronization signal block (SSB), a channel state information RS (CSI-RS), or an SRS. When a beam ID set is configured, the first half of the beam ID set may be associated with a first antenna panel, and the second half of the beam ID set may be associated with a second antenna panel. When a TCI state pair is indicated in the DCI, the first TCI state ID in the pair may be associated with a first antenna panel, and the second TCI state ID in the pair may be associated with a second panel.

[0072] Other information may be used to indicate the antenna panel. For example, the uplink transmit power control configuration may include a closed loop index, and a first closed loop index value (e.g., 0) may be associated with the first antenna panel, and a second closed loop index value (e.g., 1) may be associated with the second antenna panel. An antenna port ID or an antenna port group ID may be associated with the first antenna panel, and another antenna port ID or an antenna port group ID may be associated with the second antenna panel, wherein the antenna port may include but is not limited to a PUSCH antenna port, an SRS antenna port, and a phase tracking RS antenna port. A DMRS code division multiplexing (CDM) group ID may be associated with the first antenna panel, and another DMRS CDM group ID may be associated with the second antenna panel. A timing advance group (TAG) ID may be associated with the first antenna panel, and another TAG ID may be associated with the second antenna panel. A PUCCH resource ID or a resource group ID may be associated with the first antenna panel, and another PUCCH resource ID or a resource group ID may be associated with the second antenna panel. When configuring a PUCCH resource ID set, the first half of the PUCCH resource ID set can be associated with a first antenna panel, and the second half of the PUCCH resource ID set can be associated with a second antenna panel. A radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) can be associated with the first antenna panel, and another RNTI can be associated with the second antenna panel. A physical cell identifier (PCI) or a synchronization signal block (SSB) set ID can be associated with the first antenna panel, and another PCI or SSB set ID can be associated with the second antenna panel. By indicating a signal or a channel ID, the associated panel can be indicated, and the corresponding panel ID can be indicated.

[0073] Figure 6 An example of a UE that will send multiple PUSCHs with the same cell index and / or the same start time is shown. The UE may use spatial division multiplexing (SDM) to send PUSCHs (e.g., Figure 6 For each panel, PUSCH has a different transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI), spatial relationship information (SRI) and / or transmission configuration indicator (TCI). The UE may use time division multiplexing (TDM) to send PUSCH1 before PUSCH2. The UE may use frequency division multiplexing (FDM) to send PUSCH1 and PUSCH2 at the same time but in different frequency bands.

[0074] As pointed out above, Figure 6 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figure 6 Examples described.

[0075] Figure 7An example 700 of transmission with multiple antenna panels in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 7 It is shown how different CORESET pool indices can be used to distinguish multiple TRPs or multiple antenna panels.

[0076] A UE may use multiple panels to transmit to or receive from multiple TRPs. PUCCH / PUSCH collisions from different panels may be avoided by various techniques, and overlapping PUCCH / PUSCH transmissions to different TRPs are not expected by the UE. For PUCCH / PUSCH transmissions to the same TRP, Release 15 multiplexing rules may apply, such as in combination with Figure 6 In some aspects, PUCCH resources may be associated with CORESETs and these CORESETs may be used to differentiate between TRPs in order to determine if there are overlapping PUCCH / PUSCH transmissions between TRPs. PUSCH may be associated with a TRP and differentiated by scheduling a CORESET for a target TRP. For example, Figure 7 It is shown that the first DCI scheduling PUSCH1 or PUCCH1 may be located in CORESET A with a CORESET pool index value of 0, and the second DCI scheduling PUSCH2 or PUCCH2 may be located in CORESET B with a CORESET pool index value of 1. Figure 7 , PUxCH1 represents PUSCH1 or PUCCH 1. Therefore, the first DCI may be associated with the first TRP, and the second DCI may be associated with the second TRP, and correspondingly, PUSCH1 or PUCCH1 may be associated with the first TPP, and PUSCH2 or PUCCH2 may be associated with the second TRP.

[0077] As pointed out above, Figure 7 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figure 7 Examples described.

[0078] Figure 8 An example 800 of transmission with multiple antenna panels in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 8 Joint feedback for a first DCI (DCI1) and a second DCI (DCI2) is shown.

[0079] If a first DCI (DCI1) in a CORESET having a CORESET pool index value of 0 and a second DCI (DCI2) in a CORESET having a CORESET pool index value of 1 are provided to a UE (e.g., each of the first DCI and the second DCI schedules a PDSCH transmission), the UE may provide a joint ACK / NACK for both the first DCI associated with a first TRP and the second DCI associated with a second TRP, wherein UCI for ACK / NACK for the first DCI associated with the first TRP and UCI for ACK / NACK for the second DCI associated with the second TRP are jointly sent in one uplink channel. If the first DCI associated with the first TRP is used to schedule a PUSCH and the second DCI associated with the second TRP is used to schedule a PUCCH, the UE may send UCI for ACK / NACK associated with different TRPs in a single uplink channel via the PUSCH or via the PUCCH. For example, Figure 8 PUxCH1 in the figure indicates that UCI is sent on PUSCH1 or PUCCH1.

[0080] The UE may transmit on uplink channels using multiple panels. For example, the UE may transmit UCI associated with two TRPs from any of the multiple panels of the UE on a joint PUCCH. The UE may also transmit from one or more of the multiple panels on one or more PUSCHs. The UE may have to transmit UCI on one or more of these uplink channels. However, when there are PUCCH / PUSCH transmissions on multiple panels, it is not specified on which channel or channels the UE will transmit UCI. In the absence of clear direction for UCI transmissions associated with transmissions on multiple panels, the UE may not be able to efficiently transmit UCI to the base station, and scheduling may be affected. As a result, communications may be degraded.

[0081] According to various aspects described herein, if PUCCH and PUSCH are transmitted on multiple panels, the UE may be configured with instructions for transmitting UCI. For example, the UE may have stored configuration information (e.g., associated with a standard) with instructions for directing the UE how to transmit UCI. The UE may also provide UE capability information to the base station, and the base station may provide instructions in a radio resource control (RRC) configuration message based at least in part on the UE capability information.

[0082] The UE may determine, at least in part, based on the DCI that schedules the PUCCH sent on the first antenna panel of the UE and the PUSCH sent on the second antenna panel of the UE that the PUCCH will overlap with the PUSCH. The UE may provide feedback to the base station in the UCI to help the base station determine whether the downlink transmission is received and / or learn the conditions related to the received transmission. The UCI may include any one of ACK / NACK information, CSI report information, and scheduling request information. When the PUCCH and the PUSCH overlap in time, the UE may determine to send the UCI on one or more of the PUCCH or the PUSCH. For example, the UE may send the UCI on the PUSCH instead of the PUCCH. If the PUCCH is a joint PUCCH that sends UCI associated with different TRPs and overlaps with the PUSCH, the UE may send the UCI associated with different TRPs on the joint PUCCH instead of the PUSCH. The base station that sent the DCI may know how the UE is configured to send the UCI, and may receive the UCI based at least in part on how the UE is configured to send the UCI. After having received the UCI, the base station is able to schedule uplink channel transmissions. Thus, the UE and the base station avoid degraded communications transmitted on multiple panels of the UE.

[0083] As pointed out above, Figure 8 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figure 8 Examples described.

[0084] Fig. 9 An example 900 of multiplexing UCI for a UE with multiple antenna panels is shown in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. Fig. 9 Three options for UCI transmission involving joint PUCCH are shown.

[0085] Option 1 shows that the first DCI and the second DCI scheduled on the joint PUCCH and PUSCH will overlap in time. Fig. 9 , uplink transmissions on the first panel of the UE are shown as dark boxes, uplink transmissions on the second panel of the UE are shown as white boxes with solid lines, and the joint PUCCH is shown with a shaded box. The canceled uplink transmissions are shown as dashed boxes. For this option, when a joint PUCCH with UCI associated with different TRPs overlaps with the PUSCH, the UE may send UCI for both the first DCI associated with the first TRP and the second DCI associated with the second TRP on the overlapping PUSCH, the UE may not send UCI on the joint PUCCCH, and the PUCCH transmission may be canceled.

[0086] Option 2-1 shows a first DCI and a second DCI scheduling a joint PUCCH and PUSCH (PUSCH1) that will overlap in time. Another PUSCH (PUSCH2) is scheduled, but PUSCH2 does not overlap with the joint PUCCH. For this option, when a joint PUCCH with UCI associated with both the first DCI associated with the first TRP and the second DCI associated with the second TRP overlaps with the PUSCH, the UE may send the UCI on the joint PUCCCH, and the UE may cancel the PUSCH transmission. The UE may not cancel PUSCH2 because PUSCH2 does not overlap with the joint PUCCH.

[0087] Option 2-2 shows that the first DCI and the second DCI of the joint PUCCH and PUSCH are scheduled to overlap in time. For this option, the UE may be enabled to transmit PUCCH and PUSCH simultaneously, and the UE may transmit UCI on the joint PUCCH and on the PUSCH.

[0088] In some aspects, each of the options may use a separate UE capability report and a separate RRC configuration. For example, the UE may indicate UE capabilities for option 1, UE capabilities for option 2-1, and / or UE capabilities for option 2-2. Correspondingly, the UE may receive an RRC configuration message for option 1, an RRC configuration message for option 2-1, and / or an RRC configuration message for option 2-2.

[0089] As pointed out above, Fig. 9 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Fig. 9 Examples described.

[0090] Fig.10 An example 1000 of multiplexing UCI for a UE with multiple antenna panels is shown in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. Fig.10 Three additional options for UCI transmission involving joint PUCCH are shown. Fig.10 In , the UE may have a PUSCH scheduled on each antenna panel.

[0091] Option 3 shows scheduling the first DCI and the second DCI of the joint PUCCH and PUSCH (PUSCH1 and PUSCH2) to overlap in time. Fig.10, uplink transmissions on a first panel of the UE are shown as dark boxes, uplink transmissions on a second panel of the UE are shown as white boxes with solid lines, and joint PUCCH transmissions are shown with shaded boxes. Cancelled uplink transmissions are shown as dashed boxes. For this option, when a joint PUCCH having UCI for both a first DCI associated with a first TRP and a second DCI associated with a second TRP overlaps with multiple PUSCHs from different antenna panels, the UE may send UCI for both PUSCH1 and PUSCH2, and the joint PUCCH transmission may be canceled.

[0092] Option 3A shows scheduling a first DCI and a second DCI for a joint PUCCH, PUSCH1, and PUSCH2 that will overlap in time. In some aspects, the UE may send UCI on PUSCH1 or PUSCH2 based at least in part on the starting position of each PUSCH. For example, the UE may send UCI on any PUSCH with the earliest starting symbol. In some aspects, when a joint PUCCH having UCI for both a first DCI associated with a first TRP and a second DCI associated with a second TRP overlaps with multiple PUSCHs from different antenna panels, the UE may send UCI on PUSCH1 or PUSCH2 based at least in part on a DMRS CDM group index or a frequency domain resource assignment (FDRA). For example, the UE may send UCI on any PUSCH with the lowest DMRS CDM group index or FDRA.

[0093] Option 4 shows scheduling a first DCI and a second DCI for a joint PUCCH and PUSCH that will overlap in time. For this option, the UE may send UCI on a PUSCH associated with the same panel. For example, when a joint PUCCH having UCI for both a first DCI associated with a first TRP and a second DCI associated with a second TRP overlaps with multiple PUSCHs from different antenna panels, the UE may send UCI (e.g., UCI1) for the first DCI associated with the first TRP on PUSCH1, which is associated with the first panel because the first TRP may be associated with the first panel. The UE may send UCI (e.g., UCI2) for the second DCI associated with the second TRP on PUSCH2, which is associated with the second panel because the second TRP may be associated with the second panel.

[0094] As pointed out above, Fig.10 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Fig.10 Examples described.

[0095] Fig.11An example 1100 of multiplexing UCI for a UE with multiple antenna panels in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure is shown. Fig.11 As shown, example 1100 includes a base station (BS) 1110 (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 110) and UE 1120 (e.g., in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some aspects, base station 1110 and UE 1120 may be included in a wireless network, such as wireless network 100. Base station 1110 and UE 1120 may communicate over a wireless access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink.

[0096] As indicated by reference numeral 1130, BS 1110 may transmit a first DCI that schedules a PUCCH to be transmitted on a first panel of UE 1120 and a second DCI that schedules a PUSCH to be transmitted on a second panel of UE 1130. In some aspects, the first DCI may be transmitted in a first CORESET and the second DCI may be transmitted in a second CORESET. In some aspects, the second DCI may schedule multiple PUSCHs on multiple panels. In some aspects, the first DCI may schedule a joint PUCCH.

[0097] As indicated by reference numeral 1135, UE 1120 may determine that the PUCCH will overlap with the PUSCH based at least in part on the first DCI and the second DCI. UE 1120 may determine that the PUCCH will overlap with the PUSCH based at least in part on a result of comparing the resources assigned to the PUCCH and the resources assigned to the PUSCH. The PUCCH and the PUSCH are considered to overlap if one or more of the resources are aligned in time, frequency, and / or space.

[0098] As indicated by reference numeral 1140, UE 1120 may determine to send UCI on PUCCH and / or PUSCH based at least in part on determining that PUCCH will overlap with PUSCH. UCI may provide feedback to BS 1110 to help BS 1110 determine whether a downlink transmission is received and / or feedback on conditions related to receiving a transmission. UE 1120 may determine based at least in part on combining Fig. 9 and Fig.10One or more of the described aspects may determine which channels to send UCI on. For example, UE 1120 may receive DCI that schedules the UE to send a PUCCH on both a first panel and a second panel, which may be a joint PUCCH. UE 1120 may determine to send UCI on a PUSCH instead of a joint PUCCH based at least in part on a configuration for sending UCI. UE 1120 may obtain the configuration from stored configuration information or from an RRC message from BS 1110. In some aspects, UE 1120 may send UCI on a joint PUCCH instead of a PUSCH.

[0099] As indicated by reference numeral 1145, UE 1120 may transmit UCI associated with the first DCI and the second DCI based at least in part on a channel determined for the UCI by UE 1120. BS 1110 may receive the UCI and schedule future transmissions on the PUCCH and / or on the PUSCH.

[0100] As pointed out above, Fig.10 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Fig.10 Examples described.

[0101] Fig.12 1 is a diagram illustrating an example process 1200 performed, for example, by a UE according to various aspects of the present disclosure. The example process 1200 is a diagram in which a UE (e.g., UE 120, Fig.11 An example of UE 1120, etc. depicted in FIG. 1 performing operations associated with UCI multiplexing for multiple panels.

[0102] like Fig.12 As shown, in some aspects, process 1200 may include determining that a PUCCH will overlap with a PUSCH based at least in part on a DCI that schedules a PUCCH to be transmitted on a first antenna panel of the UE and a PUSCH to be transmitted on a second antenna panel of the UE (block 1210). For example, the UE (e.g., using receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, controller / processor 280, memory 282, etc.) may determine that a PUCCH will overlap with a PUSCH based at least in part on a DCI that schedules a PUCCH to be transmitted on a first antenna panel of the UE and a PUSCH to be transmitted on a second antenna panel of the UE, as combined with Figure 6-11 Described.

[0103] like Fig.12As further shown, in some aspects, process 1200 may include determining to send UCI on one or more of the PUCCH or the PUSCH based at least in part on determining that the PUCCH will overlap with the PUSCH (block 1220). For example, the UE (e.g., using receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, controller / processor 280, memory 282, etc.) may determine to send UCI on one or more of the PUCCH or the PUSCH based at least in part on determining that the PUCCH will overlap with the PUSCH, as described above in conjunction with Figure 6-11 Described.

[0104] like Fig.12 As further shown, in some aspects, process 1200 may include sending UCI on one or more of the PUCCH or the PUSCH based at least in part on determining to send the UCI on one or more of the PUCCH or the PUSCH (block 1230). For example, the UE (e.g., using receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, controller / processor 280, memory 282, etc.) may send UCI on one or more of the PUCCH or the PUSCH based at least in part on determining to send the UCI on one or more of the PUCCH or the PUSCH, as described above in conjunction with Figure 6-11 Described.
