Technical Field

[0003] In summary, various aspects of this disclosure relate to wireless communication, and to techniques and apparatus for polarization and antenna panel configuration, as well as communication diversity configuration. Background Technology

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies that enable 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 / Improved LTE is an enhanced set of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard released by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0005] A wireless network may include one or more base stations that support communication for one or more user equipment (UE) devices. The UE may communicate with the base station via downlink and uplink communication. "Downlink" (or "DL") refers to the communication link from the base station to the UE, and "uplink" (or "UL") refers to the communication link from the UE to the base station.

[0006] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate at the city, country, region, and / or even global levels. New Radio (NR) (which may be referred to as 5G) is an enhancement set to the LTE mobile standard released by 3GPP. NR is designed to better integrate with other open standards by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving service, utilizing new spectrum, and using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Cyclic Prefix (CP) on the downlink (CP-OFDM), and CP-OFDM and / or Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Spectrum OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, thereby better supporting mobile broadband internet access, as well as beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful. Summary of the Invention

[0050] The various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any particular structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, an apparatus or a method may be implemented using any number of the aspects set forth herein.

It should be understood that any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0051] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be described with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in detail below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, through various frames, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such an element is implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the entire system.

[0052] While this document may use terms commonly associated with 5G or New Radio (NR) Radio Access Technology (RAT) to describe aspects, aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0053] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, as well as other examples. The wireless network 100 may include one or more base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d), user equipment (UE) 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as UE 120a, UE 120b, UE 120c, UE 120d, and UE 120e), and / or other network entities. Base station 110 is the entity that communicates with UE 120. Base station 110 (sometimes referred to as BS) may include, for example, an NR base station, an LTE base station, a Node B, an eNB (e.g., in 4G), a gNB (e.g., in 5G), an access point, and / or a Transmit / Receive Point (TRP). Each base station 110 may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term “cell” can refer to the coverage area of ​​base station 110 and / or the base station subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0054] Base station 110 can provide communication coverage for macro cells, pico cells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. A macro cell can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and can allow unrestricted access by UE 120 with service subscriptions. A pico cell can cover a relatively small geographic area and can allow unrestricted access by UE 120 with service subscriptions. A femtocell can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a residential area) and can allow restricted access by UE 120 associated with that femtocell (e.g., UE 120 in a Closed User Group (CSG)). Base station 110 for macro cells can be referred to as a macro base station. Base station 110 for pico cells can be referred to as a pico base station. Base station 110 for femtocells can be referred to as a femtocell or a home base station. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS 110a can be a macro base station for macro cell 102a, BS 110b can be a pico base station for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c can be a femto base station for femto cell 102c. A base station can support one or more (e.g., three) cells.

[0055] In some examples, the cell may not be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile base station 110 (e.g., a mobile base station). In some examples, base stations 110 may be interconnected with each other and / or with one or more other base stations 110 or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 via various types of backhaul interfaces, such as direct physical connections or virtual networks, using any suitable transport network.

[0056] Wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., base station 110 or UE 120) and transmit the data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., UE 120 or base station 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 capable of relaying transmissions for other UE 120s. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS 110d (e.g., a relay base station) can communicate with BS 110a (e.g., a macro base station) and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. The base station 110 for relay communication can be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, repeater, etc.

[0057] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of base stations 110 (such as macro base stations, pico base stations, femto base stations, relay base stations, etc.). These different types of base stations 110 can have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and / or different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro base stations can have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico base stations, femto base stations, and relay base stations can have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0058] Network controller 130 can be coupled to or communicate with a group of base stations 110, and can provide coordination and control for these base stations 110. Network controller 130 can communicate with base stations 110 via backhaul communication links. Base stations 110 can communicate with each other directly or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul communication links.

[0059] UE 120 may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. UE 120 may include, for example, access terminals, terminals, mobile stations, and / or user units. UE 120 may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), 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, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and / or a satellite radio unit, etc.), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a GPS device, and / or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.

[0060] Some UEs 120 can be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC UEs and / or eMTC UEs may include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and / or location tags, which can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 can be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) devices. Some UEs 120 can be considered customer premises equipment. UEs 120 may be included within a housing that houses the components of the UE 120, such as processor components and / or memory components. In some examples, the processor components and memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0061] Typically, any number of wireless networks 100 can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network 100 can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can be referred to as a carrier, channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0062] In some examples, 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 for communication with each other). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, or vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocols, and / or mesh networks. In such examples, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described herein as being performed by base station 110.

[0063] Devices in Wireless Network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., by frequency or wavelength. For example, devices in Wireless Network 100 can communicate using one or more operating frequency bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating frequency bands have been identified as frequency range names FR1 (410MHz–7.125GHz) and FR2 (24.25GHz–52.6GHz). It should be understood that although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6GHz, in various documents and articles, FR1 is often (interchangeably) referred to as the “below 6GHz” band. Similar naming issues sometimes arise regarding FR2; although it differs from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30GHz–300GHz), it is often (interchangeably) referred to in documents and articles as the “millimeter wave” band, which is identified as such by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

[0064] The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are generally referred to as intermediate frequencies (IFs). Recent 5G NR studies have identified the operating bands of these IFs as the frequency range name FR3 (7.125GHz–24.25GHz). Bands falling within FR3 can inherit FR1 and / or FR2 characteristics, and thus can effectively extend the characteristics of FR1 and / or FR2 to the IF. Furthermore, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation beyond 52.6GHz. For example, three higher operating frequency bands have been identified as the frequency range names FR4a or FR4–1 (52.6GHz–71GHz), FR4 (52.6GHz–114.25GHz), and FR5 (114.25GHz–300GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

[0065] Considering the examples above, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that when the term "below 6 GHz" is used herein, it can broadly refer to frequencies that are less than 6 GHz, within FR1, or may include intermediate frequency band frequencies. Furthermore, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that when the term "millimeter wave" is used herein, it can broadly refer to frequencies that may include intermediate frequency band frequencies, within FR2, FR4, FR4-a, or FR4-1 and / or FR5, or within the EHF band. It is anticipated that the frequencies included in these operating frequency bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and / or FR5) can be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0066] In some aspects, base station 110 may include communication manager 150. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, communication manager 150 may send information associated with identifying a communication diversity configuration; and send transport blocks on the downlink according to the communication diversity configuration. Alternatively, communication manager 150 may send antenna configuration information associated with configuring an antenna set for the UE to the UE; and send downlink data to the UE using a base station antenna configuration corresponding to a UE antenna configuration selected at least in part based on the antenna configuration information. Alternatively, communication manager 150 may receive from the UE an antenna configuration report identifying a UE antenna configuration for an antenna panel set for the UE; and communicate with the UE using a base station antenna configuration corresponding to the UE antenna configuration, at least in part based on the received antenna configuration report. Alternatively, communication manager 150 may send antenna configuration information associated with configuring an antenna panel set for the UE to the UE; and receive uplink data from the UE using a base station antenna configuration corresponding to a UE antenna configuration selected at least in part based on the antenna configuration information. Alternatively, communication manager 150 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0067] In some aspects, UE 120 may include a communication manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, communication manager 140 may receive information associated with identifying a communication diversity configuration; and receive transport blocks on the downlink according to the communication diversity configuration. Alternatively or alternatively, communication manager 140 may receive antenna configuration information associated with an antenna set configured for the UE from a base station; and receive downlink data from the base station using an antenna configuration selected at least in part based on the antenna configuration information. Alternatively or alternatively, communication manager 140 may send an antenna configuration report to the base station identifying an antenna configuration for an antenna panel set used by the UE; and communicate with the base station using the antenna configuration at least in part based on sending the antenna configuration report. Alternatively or alternatively, communication manager 140 may receive antenna configuration information associated with an antenna panel set configured for the UE from the base station; and send uplink data to the base station using an antenna configuration selected at least in part based on the antenna configuration information. Alternatively or alternatively, communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0069] Figure 2This is a diagram illustrating an example of communication between a base station 110 and a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a to 234t, such as T antennas (T≥1). The UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a to 252r, such as R antennas (R≥1).

[0070] At base station 110, transmitting processor 220 can receive data from data source 212 intended for UE 120 (or a set of UEs 120). Transmitting processor 220 can select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for UE 120, at least in part, based on one or more Channel Quality Indicators (CQIs) received from UE 120. Base station 110 can process (e.g., code and modulate) the data for UE 120, and provide data symbols for UE 120, at least in part, based on the MCS selected for UE 120. Transmitting processor 220 can process system information (e.g., semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper-layer signaling), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmitting processor 220 can generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding, if applicable) on data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, and can provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a set of corresponding modems 232 (e.g., T modems), shown as modems 232a to 232t. For example, each output symbol stream can be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of modem 232. Each modem 232 can use its respective modulator component to process its respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 can also use its respective modulator component to process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. Modems 232a to 232t can transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a set of corresponding antennas 234 (e.g., T antennas) (shown as antennas 234a to 234t).

[0071] At UE 120, an array of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a to 252r) can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations 110, and can provide a set of received signals (e.g., R received signals) to an array of modems 254 (e.g., R modems) (shown as modems 254a to 254r). For example, each received signal can be provided to a demodulator component (shown as a demodulator) of modem 254. Each modem 254 can use its respective demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and / or digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each modem 254 can use the demodulator component to further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain a received symbol. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbol from modulator 254, perform MIMO detection on the received symbol (if applicable), and can provide the detected symbol. The receiver processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for the UE 120 to the data sink 260, and provide decoded control and system information to the controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) parameters, Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) parameters, Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) parameters, and / or CQI parameters, among other examples. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0072] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. Network controller 130 may include one or more devices, such as those in a core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.

[0073] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include or may be included within the following: one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more antenna element sets, and / or one or more antenna arrays, and other examples. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements (within a single housing or multiple housings), coplanar antenna element sets, non-coplanar antenna element sets, and / or coupled to one or more transmitting and / or receiving components (such as...) Figure 2 One or more antenna elements (one or more components).

[0074] On the uplink, at UE 120, transmit processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reporting including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). Transmit processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from transmit processor 264 can be pre-coded (if applicable) by TX MIMO processor 266, further processed by modem 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some examples, modem 254 of UE 120 may include modulator and demodulator. In some examples, UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, and / or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., refer to...). Figure 5-18 ).

[0075] At base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs can be received by antenna 234, processed by modem 232 (e.g., demodulator components of modem 232, such as DEMOD), detected by MIMO detector 236 (if applicable), and further processed by receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receive processor 238 can provide decoded data to data sink 239 and decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and can communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 may include scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink and / or uplink communication. In some examples, modem 232 of base station 110 may include modulator and demodulator. In some examples, base station 110 includes transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 234, modem 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit processor 220, and / or TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., refer to...). Figure 5-9 ).

[0076] The controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120 and / or Figure 2Any other components may perform one or more techniques associated with polarization and antenna panel configuration and communication diversity configuration, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component can perform or direct, for example Figure 9 The process 900 to Figure 16 The operation of process 1600 and / or other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and 282 may store data and program code for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some examples, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) 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, translation, and / or interpretation), may cause one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 to perform or instruct, for example... Figure 9 The process 900 to Figure 16 The operation of process 1600 and / or other processes as described herein. In some aspects, execution instructions may include run instructions, transformation instructions, compilation instructions, and / or interpretation instructions, as well as other examples.

[0077] In some aspects, base station 110 includes: units for transmitting information associated with identifying a communication diversity configuration; and / or units for transmitting transport blocks on the downlink according to the communication diversity configuration. Alternatively, base station 110 includes: units for transmitting antenna configuration information associated with an antenna set configured for the UE to the UE; and units for transmitting downlink data to the UE using a base station antenna configuration corresponding to a UE antenna configuration selected at least in part based on the antenna configuration information. Alternatively, base station 110 includes: units for receiving from the UE an antenna configuration report identifying a UE antenna configuration for an antenna panel set for the UE; and units for communicating with the UE using a base station antenna configuration corresponding to the UE antenna configuration, based at least in part on the received antenna configuration report. Alternatively, base station 110 includes: units for transmitting antenna configuration information associated with an antenna panel set configured for the UE to the UE; and units for receiving uplink data from the UE using a base station antenna configuration corresponding to a UE antenna configuration selected at least in part based on the antenna configuration information. The unit for base station 110 to perform the operations described herein may include one or more of, for example, a communication manager 150, a transmit processor 220, a TX MIMO processor 230, a modem 232, an antenna 234, a MIMO detector 236, a receive processor 238, a controller / processor 240, a memory 242, or a scheduler 246.

[0078] In some aspects, UE 120 includes: a unit for receiving information associated with identifying a communication diversity configuration; and / or a unit for receiving transport blocks on the downlink according to the communication diversity configuration. Alternatively, UE 120 includes: a unit for receiving antenna configuration information associated with an antenna set configuring UE 120 from a base station; and a unit for receiving downlink data from the base station using an antenna configuration selected at least in part based on the antenna configuration information. Alternatively, UE 120 includes: a unit for sending an antenna configuration report to the base station identifying an antenna configuration for an antenna panel set for UE 120; and a unit for communicating with the base station using the antenna configuration at least in part based on sending the antenna configuration report. Alternatively, UE 120 includes: a unit for receiving antenna configuration information associated with an antenna panel set configuring UE 120 from a base station; and a unit for sending uplink data to the base station using an antenna configuration selected at least in part based on the antenna configuration information. The unit for UE 120 to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of the following: communication manager 140, antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, controller / processor 280, or memory 282.

[0079] Although Figure 2 The boxes in the diagram are shown as different components, but the functions described above with respect to these boxes can be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component, or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 can be performed by or under the control of controller / processor 280.

[0080] As pointed out above, Figure 2 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 2 The example described.

[0081] Figure 3 These are figures illustrating examples 300, 310, and 320 of the CSI-RS beam management process according to this disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, Examples 300, 310, and 320 include a UE 120 communicating with a base station 110 in a wireless network (e.g., wireless network 100). However, Figure 3 The devices shown are provided as examples, and the wireless network can support communication and beam management between other devices (e.g., between UE 120 and base station 110 or TRP, between mobile terminal nodes and control nodes, between integrated access and backhaul (IAB) child nodes and IAB parent nodes, between scheduled nodes and scheduling nodes, etc.). In some aspects, UE 120 and base station 110 can be in a connected state (e.g., radio resource control (RRC) connected state, etc.).

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, Example 300 may include base station 110 and UE 120 communicating to perform beam management using CSI-RS. Example 300 depicts a first beam management process (e.g., P1 CSI-RS beam management). The first beam management process may be referred to as a beam selection process, an initial beam acquisition process, a beam scanning process, a cell search process, a beam search process, etc. Figure 3 As shown in Example 300, CSI-RS can be configured to be transmitted from base station 110 to UE 120. CSI-RS can be configured to be periodic (e.g., using RRC signaling, etc.), semi-persistent (e.g., using Media Access Control (MAC) Control Element (MAC-CE) signaling, etc.) and / or non-periodic (e.g., using Downlink Control Information (DCI), etc.).

[0083] The first beam management process may include base station 110 performing beam scanning on multiple transmit (Tx) beams. Base station 110 may use each transmit beam for beam management to transmit CSI-RS. To enable UE 120 to perform receive (Rx) beam scanning, the base station may use the transmit beams to transmit each CSI-RS multiple times (e.g., using repetition) within the same set of reference signal (RS) resources, allowing UE 120 to scan the receive beams in multiple transmission instances. For example, if base station 110 has a set of N transmit beams and UE 120 has a set of M receive beams, CSI-RS may be transmitted M times on each of the N transmit beams, allowing UE 120 to receive M instances of CSI-RS for each transmit beam. In other words, for each transmit beam of base station 110, UE 120 may perform beam scanning using UE 120's receive beams. Therefore, the first beam management procedure enables UE 120 to use different receive beams to measure CSI-RS on different transmit beams, supporting the selection of base station 110 transmit beam / UE 120 receive beam pairs. UE 120 can report the measurements to base station 110, allowing base station 110 to select one or more beam pairs for communication between base station 110 and UE 120. Although Example 300 has been described in conjunction with CSI-RS, the first beam management procedure can also be performed using synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) in a similar manner to those described above.

[0084] like Figure 3 As shown, Example 310 may include base station 110 and UE 120 communicating to perform beam management using CSI-RS. Example 310 depicts a second beam management process (e.g., P2 CSI-RS beam management). This second beam management process may be referred to as a beam refinement process, a base station beam refinement process, a TRP beam refinement process, a transmit beam refinement process, etc. Figure 3As shown in Example 310, CSI-RS can be configured to be transmitted from base station 110 to UE 120. CSI-RS can be configured to be aperiodic (e.g., using DCI, etc.). A second beam management procedure may include base station 110 performing beam scanning on one or more transmit beams. The one or more transmit beams may be a subset of all transmit beams associated with base station 110 (e.g., determined at least in part based on measurements reported by UE 120 in conjunction with the first beam management procedure). Base station 110 may transmit CSI-RS using each of the one or more transmit beams used for beam management. UE 120 may measure each CSI-RS using a single (e.g., the same) receive beam (e.g., determined at least in part based on measurements performed in conjunction with the first beam management procedure). The second beam management procedure may enable base station 110 to select the optimal transmit beam at least in part based on measurements of CSI-RS reported by UE 120 (e.g., measured by UE 120 using a single receive beam).

[0085] like Figure 3 As shown, Example 320 depicts a third beam management process (e.g., P3 CSI-RS beam management). This third beam management process can be referred to as a beam refinement process, a UE beam refinement process, a receive beam refinement process, etc. Figure 3 As shown in Example 320, one or more CSI-RS can be configured to be transmitted from base station 110 to UE 120. The CSI-RS can be configured to be aperiodic (e.g., using DCI, etc.). A third beam management procedure may include base station 110 transmitting one or more CSI-RS using a single transmit beam (e.g., determined at least in part based on measurements reported by UE 120 in conjunction with the first and / or second beam management procedures). To enable UE 120 to perform receive beam scanning, the base station may transmit (e.g., utilize repetition) CSI-RS multiple times within the same RS resource set using the transmit beam, allowing UE 120 to scan through one or more receive beams in multiple transmission instances. The one or more receive beams may be a subset of all receive beams associated with UE 120 (e.g., determined at least in part based on measurements performed in conjunction with the first and / or second beam management procedures). The third beam management process enables base station 110 and / or UE 120 to select the optimal receive beam based at least in part on measurements reported from UE 120 (e.g., CSI-RS measurements of transmit beams using one or more receive beams).

[0086] As pointed out above, Figure 3 This is provided as an example of a beam management process. Other examples of beam management processes may differ from the one described above. Figure 3 Examples described. For instance, UE 120 and base station 110 may perform a third beam management procedure before performing a second beam management procedure, UE 120 and base station 110 may perform a similar beam management procedure to select the UE transmit beam, and so on.

[0087] Figures 4A-4B These are figures illustrating example 410-450 of a UE antenna configuration according to this disclosure.

[0088] As in Figure 4A As shown by reference numeral 410 in the accompanying drawings, in the first antenna configuration, the UE may include a single antenna panel capable of single polarization. For example, the UE may include a single antenna panel capable of vertical polarization or a single antenna panel capable of horizontal polarization. In such a case, the single antenna panel may be able to transmit a specific number of beams (e.g., horizontally polarized beams or vertically polarized beams).

[0089] As in Figure 4A As further shown by reference numeral 420 in the accompanying drawings, in the second antenna configuration, the UE may include a single antenna panel capable of dual polarization. For example, the UE may include a single antenna panel capable of both horizontal and vertical polarization. In this case, the UE can use horizontal polarization only, vertical polarization only, a combination of horizontal and vertical polarization, or a combination thereof (e.g., using dynamic switching).

[0090] As in Figure 4A As further shown by reference numeral 430 in the accompanying drawings, in the third antenna configuration, the UE may include multiple antenna panels, each of which is capable of single polarization. For example, the UE may include multiple antenna panels capable of vertical polarization, multiple antenna panels capable of horizontal polarization, or multiple antenna panels in which one or more antenna panels are capable of vertical polarization and one or more antenna panels are capable of horizontal polarization.

[0091] As in Figure 4B As further shown by reference numeral 440 in the accompanying drawings, in the fourth antenna configuration, the UE may include multiple antenna panels, wherein at least one antenna panel is capable of dual polarization, and at least one antenna panel is not capable of dual polarization. For example, the UE may include one or more antenna panels capable of both horizontal and vertical polarization (e.g., it may operate in a horizontal-only state, a vertical-only state, or a combination of horizontal and vertical states). In this case, the UE may also include one or more antenna panels with a single polarization. For example, the UE may include two or more hybrid polarization antenna panels without a single polarization antenna panel, two or more hybrid polarization antenna panels and one or more single polarization antenna panels, a single hybrid polarization antenna panel and one or more single polarization antenna panels.

[0092] As in Figure 4B As further shown by reference numeral 450 in the accompanying drawings, in the fifth antenna configuration, the UE may include multiple antenna panels capable of dual polarization. For example, the UE may include two or more antenna panels capable of horizontal polarization, vertical polarization, or a combination of horizontal and vertical polarization. In this case, the UE may not include any antenna panel capable of only single polarization.

[0093] As pointed out above, Figures 4A-4B This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figures 4A-4B The described example

[0094] As described above, the UE may include one or more antenna panels with one or more polarization configurations capable of being used for uplink transmission or downlink reception. Similarly, the base station may have one or more antenna panels with one or more polarization configurations capable of being used for downlink transmission or uplink reception. The base station uses specific polarizations, antenna panels, or beams, and other examples, to communicate with the UE.

[0095] In other words, a base station can use a first antenna panel with a first polarization to transmit or receive a first transport block (TB), and can later switch to using a second antenna panel with a second polarization to transmit or receive a second TB. Similarly, a UE can use a first antenna panel with a first polarization to receive or transmit the first TB, and later switch to using a second antenna panel with a second polarization to receive or transmit the second TB.

[0096] By aligning with the UE, the base station can improve network performance by reducing, for example, the likelihood of dropped communications. However, when the base station determines to change the antenna configuration (e.g., base station antenna configuration, which may include which polarizations the BS uses or the configuration of the antenna panels), the UE may lack the information used when changing the corresponding antenna configuration (e.g., UE antenna configuration, which may include which polarizations the UE uses or the configuration of the panels).

[0097] Similarly, the UE can switch from transmitting or receiving using a first antenna panel with a first polarization to transmitting or receiving using a second antenna panel with a second polarization. In this case, by aligning with the base station, the UE can improve network performance by reducing, for example, the possibility of dropped communications. However, when the UE decides to change the antenna configuration, the base station may lack the information needed to change the corresponding antenna configuration.

[0098] Furthermore, the first antenna panel and first polarization of the base station and the first antenna panel and first polarization of the UE can be the same or configured differently. However, although the base station and UE can align the antenna panels, polarizations, or beams, and other examples, to achieve improved communication performance, communication interruptions may still occur due to interference, the presence of other data, synchronization errors, and other examples.

[0099] Some aspects described herein implement polarization and antenna panel configuration. For example, the base station can configure CSI-RS or SRS (Sound Reference Signal) resources for the UE, and the UE can use the CSI-RS or SRS resources to identify the antenna panel configuration used for communicating with the base station. The UE can send a report to the base station identifying the polarization or antenna panel configuration. Alternatively, the UE can receive information from the base station identifying the antenna panel configuration that the UE will use to receive downlink data. In this way, the base station and the UE ensure the alignment of the corresponding antenna panel configurations, thereby reducing the likelihood of communication loss relative to scenarios where the corresponding antenna panel configurations are misaligned.

[0100] Some aspects described herein implement communication diversity configuration for downlink transmissions. For example, the base station can provide the UE with information identifying the communication diversity configuration to synchronize the corresponding antenna configurations of the base station and the UE. In this case, the base station can use multiple time slots, multiple frequency locations, multiple polarizations, multiple panels or multiple beams, and other examples, to transmit TBs, and the UE can use the communication diversity configuration to receive the TBs. For example, the UE can configure its polarization, panel, or beam to correspond to the base station's polarization, panel, or beam, and can monitor at the configured time slot or frequency location. In this case, at least in part, by enabling communication diversity using, for example, multiple polarizations, panels, or beams, and other examples, the base station and UE reduce the likelihood of dropped communication compared to scenarios where the corresponding antenna panel configuration is misaligned and / or communication diversity is not enabled.

[0101] Figure 5 This is a diagram illustrating example 500 associated with polarization and antenna panel configuration according to this disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, base station 110 and UE 120 can communicate with each other.

[0102] As in Figure 5As further shown by reference numeral 505, UE 120 can receive communication diversity configuration information. For example, base station 110 can send communication diversity configuration information to identify the configuration that base station 110 intends to use to send transport blocks. In some aspects, base station 110 can dynamically send information indicating the diversity configuration. For example, base station 110 can send dynamic signaling instructing UE 120 on the polarization to be used to receive transport blocks and the set of resources that UE 120 needs to monitor to receive transport blocks.

[0103] Alternatively, base station 110 may transmit information configuring UE 120 with a diversity configuration pattern or sequence. For example, base station 110 may transmit information identifying the polarization, panel, or beam, and other examples of sequences that UE 120 will use to receive transport blocks in a resource set sequence. Alternatively, base station 110 may transmit information configuring UE 120 with a pseudo-random pattern or sequence of diversity configuration. For example, base station 110 may provide information identifying a random pattern for receiving a set of consecutive transport blocks, instead of providing information identifying a non-random pattern for receiving a set of consecutive transport blocks. In this case, using a random or pseudo-random pattern can randomize or pseudo-randomize the interference applied to the transport blocks, thereby reducing the likelihood of communication being interrupted by pattern-based interference sources (e.g., periodic transmissions).

[0104] In some aspects, base station 110 may determine the communication diversity configuration to be indicated to UE 120 based at least in part on measurements. For example, base station 110 may receive measurement reports of a CSI-RS measurement set performed by UE 120 and may select the communication diversity configuration based at least in part on the measurement reports. Alternatively, base station 110 may receive information identifying a UE recommendation for the communication diversity configuration and may confirm the UE recommendation and provide an indication of confirmation to UE 120. Alternatively, base station 110 may perform an SRS measurement set and may determine the communication diversity configuration based at least in part on the SRS measurement set.

[0105] As in Figure 5As further illustrated by reference numerals 510 and 515, UE 120 can determine a communication diversity configuration and receive one or more transport blocks from base station 110 according to the communication diversity configuration. For example, UE 120 can receive a communication diversity configuration that explicitly identifies a set of polarizations, panels, or beams, and other examples, to be used by UE 120. Alternatively, UE 120 can receive information identifying the set of polarizations, panels, or beams to be used by base station 110 for transmission, and UE 120 can deduce the corresponding set of polarizations, panels, or beams to be used for reception. In this case, UE 120 can receive transport blocks according to the communication diversity configuration, at least in part, based on the determined communication diversity configuration. For example, base station 110 can use multiple time slots, multiple frequency locations, multiple polarizations, multiple panels, multiple beams, and other examples or combinations thereof to transmit multiple repetitions of the same transport block.

[0106] As pointed out above, Figure 5 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 5 The example described.

[0107] Figure 6 This is a diagram illustrating example 600 associated with polarization and antenna panel configuration according to various aspects of this disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, base station 110 and UE 120 can communicate with each other.

[0108] As in Figure 6 As further shown by reference numeral 605, UE 120 can receive antenna configuration information. For example, base station 110 can transmit antenna configuration information to enable UE 120 to select antenna panels, polarization, or beams, and other examples. In some aspects, base station 110 can provide antenna configuration information that identifies CSI-RS resources and / or uses CSI-RS resources to configure UE 120. For example, base station 110 can identify CSI-RS resource timing, CSI-RS resource frequency, or CSI-RS resource repetition parameters, and other examples. In this case, base station 110 can provide information for configuring CSI-RS resources to enable UE 120 to perform a polarization scan procedure or a panel scan procedure, and other examples, to measure CSI-RS transmitted on the CSI-RS resources. In some aspects, base station 110 can provide antenna configuration information to configure measurement reports. For example, base station 110 can provide information instructing UE 120 to report one or more parameters as a response to measured CSI-RS. In some aspects, base station 110 may include information identifying P3 measurements, such as UE polarization, UE antenna panel or UE receive (Rx) beam, and other examples regarding the measurement reports that UE 120 will provide.

[0109] As in Figure 6 As further shown by reference numeral 610 in the accompanying drawings, base station 110 can transmit one or more CSI-RS. For example, UE 120 can perform a polarization scanning procedure, wherein UE 120 attempts to receive one or more CSI-RS using one or more polarization configurations (e.g., horizontal polarization only, vertical polarization only, or mixed polarization configuration, as described above). Alternatively or concurrently, UE 120 can perform a panel scanning procedure, wherein UE 120 attempts to receive one or more CSI-RS using one or more antenna panel configurations (e.g., using a first antenna panel, a second antenna panel, or a combination of first and second antenna panels, and other examples).

[0110] In some aspects, UE 120 may perform a scanning process on a single beam. For example, UE 120 may perform polarization and / or panel scanning on a single beam that UE 120 intends to use to communicate with base station 110. Alternatively, UE 120 may perform polarization and / or panel scanning on multiple candidate beams that UE 120 may use to communicate with base station 110. In this case, UE 120 may select the beam for communication with base station 110 from the multiple candidate beams based at least in part on the result of performing the polarization and / or panel scanning process. In some aspects, base station 110 may include information identifying the configuration for polarization and / or panel scanning in its antenna configuration information. For example, base station 110 may indicate whether to perform polarization and / or panel scanning on a single beam or multiple beams, the selection of a subset of beams to which polarization and / or panel scanning is to be performed, etc.

[0111] In some aspects, as indicated by reference numeral 615, UE 120 may configure its antenna panel for communication based at least in part on one or more CSI-RS. For example, UE 120 may send a measurement report in response to measurements of one or more CSI-RS. For example, UE 120 may send a Layer 1 (L1) measurement report, which includes information identifying the signal-to-interference and noise ratio or reference signal received power (RSRP) value, and other examples.

[0112] In this scenario, base station 110 can determine the antenna configuration for base station 110 and can send information to UE 120 identifying the antenna configuration for base station 110 (e.g., from which UE 120 can deduce the corresponding antenna configuration for UE 120) or explicitly identifying the corresponding antenna configuration for UE 120. For example, base station 110 can identify a pairing between the base station 110 transmit (Tx) polarization and the UE 120 Rx polarization that is predicted to have the highest probability of communication success. Similarly, base station 110 can identify pairings between Tx beams and Rx beams or between Tx panels and Rx panels. In this scenario, base station 110 can send a DCI for a Dynamic Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) licensed reception scenario or a Medium Access Control (MAC) control element (MAC-CE) for a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) or Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) scenario to identify the antenna configuration (e.g., Rx polarization, Rx beam, or Rx panel, and other examples). Alternatively, base station 110 may be configured with a delay value. For example, base station 110 may be configured with a delay between indicating antenna configuration and the time when UE 120 will implement antenna configuration, to account for, for example, processing delay. In this case, base station 110 may determine the delay based at least in part on UE capabilities.

[0113] As in Figure 6 As further shown by reference numeral 620 in the accompanying drawings, UE 120 can receive downlink data from base station 110. For example, based at least in part on determining a UE antenna configuration corresponding to the BS antenna configuration of base station 110, UE 120 may use one or more selected polarizations, one or more selected antenna panels, or one or more selected beams, and other examples, to receive downlink data.

[0114] As pointed out above, Figure 6 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 6 The example described.

[0115] Figure 7 This is a diagram illustrating example 700 associated with polarization and antenna panel configuration according to various aspects of this disclosure. Figure 7 As shown, base station 110 and UE 120 can communicate with each other.

[0116] As in Figure 7As further shown by reference numeral 705 in the accompanying drawings, UE 120 can transmit antenna configuration information. For example, UE 120 can transmit antenna configuration information to enable base station 110 to select an antenna panel, polarization, or beam, and other examples. In some aspects, UE 120 can provide antenna configuration information identifying parameters of UE 120. For example, UE 120 can provide antenna configuration information to identify polarization selection, antenna panel selection, or beam selection, and other examples. Alternatively or concurrently, UE 120 can provide antenna configuration information to identify changes in UE 120 parameters, such as changes in polarization selection, antenna panel selection, or beam selection, and other examples.

[0117] In some respects, UE 120 may send reports including antenna configuration information based at least in part on base station 110 configuration reports. For example, base station 110 may send configuration information to configure periodic reporting, semi-persistent scheduling reporting, or aperiodic reporting (e.g., the base station may send a request for a specific report at a specific time), and other examples. Alternatively, base station 110 may configure event-based reporting. For example, when UE 120 changes the polarization selection of its antenna panel, base station 110 may instruct UE 120 to send a report including antenna configuration information.

[0118] In some aspects, the report may include information identifying the polarization, panel, or beam used for transmission or reception, and other examples. For example, UE 120 may send a report to identify a first polarization that UE 120 will use for transmission and a second different polarization that UE 120 will use for reception. In some aspects, UE 120 may include measurements (e.g., CSI-RS measurements, as described below) and indexes (e.g., indexes of the polarization, panel, or beam that UE 120 will use) or include indexes without measurements in the report or subsequent measurement report. In some aspects, UE 120 may include information in the report identifying multiple parameters, such as the first polarization that UE 120 used for previous communication and the second polarization that UE 120 will use for subsequent communication.

[0119] As in Figure 7 Furthermore, as shown by reference numeral 710, UE 120 and base station 110 can communicate to align their respective antenna panel configurations. For example, base station 110 can send a command to trigger UE 120 to perform an SRS scanning process, during which UE 120 transmits an SRS set having one or more different polarizations, antenna panels or beams, and other examples. In this case, as shown by reference numeral 715-1, for example, base station 110 can align the received polarization with the UE 120 antenna configuration at least in part based on the received SRS set.

[0120] Alternatively or alternatively, base station 110 may transmit information identifying a CSI-RS resource set, and may use the CSI-RS resources to transmit a CSI-RS set (e.g., having one or more different polarizations, panels, or beams). In this case, UE 120 may perform a measurement set on the CSI-RS set, at least in part, based on the information identifying the CSI-RS resources and / or its measurement configuration. Based at least in part on performing the measurement set, UE 120 may align its antenna configuration with that of base station 110, as shown by reference numeral 715-2. Alternatively or alternatively, UE 120 may transmit an L1 measurement report identifying the measurement set, enabling base station 110 to align, for example, the transmission beam or polarization, with UE 120's antenna configuration.

[0121] As in Figure 7 As further shown by reference numeral 720 in the accompanying drawings, UE 120 can communicate with base station 110. For example, based at least in part on the alignment of the respective antenna configurations, base station 110 and UE 120 can communicate on the uplink or downlink using selected polarization, antenna panels or beams, and other examples.

[0122] As pointed out above, Figure 7 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 7 The example described.

[0123] Figure 8 This is a diagram illustrating an example 800 associated with polarization and antenna panel configuration according to various aspects of this disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, base station 110 and UE 120 can communicate with each other.

[0124] As in Figure 8 As further illustrated by reference numeral 805, UE 120 can receive antenna configuration information. For example, base station 110 can transmit antenna configuration information to enable UE 120 to select antenna panels, polarizations, or beams, and other examples. In some aspects, base station 110 can provide antenna configuration information that identifies SRS resources and / or uses SRS resources to configure UE 120. For example, base station 110 can identify SRS resource timing, SRS resource frequency, or SRS resource repetition parameters, and other examples. In this case, base station 110 can provide information for configuring SRS resources to enable UE 120 to perform a polarization scan process or a panel scan process, and other examples, thereby transmitting SRS on the SRS resources using one or more polarizations, one or more panels, or one or more beams, and other examples.

[0125] As in Figure 8 As further shown by reference numeral 810 in the accompanying drawings, UE 120 can transmit one or more SRSs. For example, UE 120 can perform a polarization scanning procedure, wherein UE 120 uses one or more polarization configurations (e.g., horizontal polarization only, vertical polarization only, or mixed polarization configuration, as described above) to transmit one or more SRSs. Alternatively or alternatively, UE 120 can perform a panel scanning procedure, wherein UE 120 uses one or more antenna panel configurations (e.g., using a first antenna panel, a second antenna panel, or a combination of first and second antenna panels, and other examples) to transmit one or more SRSs. Alternatively or alternatively, UE 120 can perform a beam scanning procedure, wherein UE 120 uses one or more beam configurations (e.g., using a first beam, a second beam, or a combination of first and second beams, and other examples) to transmit one or more SRSs. In some aspects, UE 120 can determine the configuration for transmitting SRS (e.g., which polarizations, antenna panels, or beams to use) based at least in part on antenna configuration information received from base station 110.

[0126] In some aspects, UE 120 may perform a scanning process on a single beam. For example, UE 120 may perform polarization and / or panel scanning on a single beam that UE 120 intends to use to communicate with base station 110. Alternatively, UE 120 may perform polarization and / or panel scanning on multiple candidate beams that UE 120 may use to communicate with base station 110. In this case, UE 120 may select the beam for communication with base station 110 from the multiple candidate beams based at least in part on the result of performing the polarization and / or panel scanning process.

[0127] As in Figure 8 As further shown by reference numeral 815, base station 110 can configure its antenna panel for communication at least in part based on one or more SRSs. For example, base station 110 can perform a set of measurements on one or more SRSs and can select the receive polarization for base station 110 (and the corresponding transmit polarization for UE 120) at least in part based on the set of measurements.

[0128] As in Figure 8As further shown by reference numeral 820 in the accompanying drawings, base station 110 can send a feedback report to UE 120. For example, base station 110 can send a feedback report identifying a measurement set or identifying an antenna panel configuration selected at least in part based on the measurement set, and other examples. In some aspects, UE 120 can receive an L1 measurement report including information identifying the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SNR) or RSRP value, and other examples. In this case, UE 120 can deduce, at least in part, the beam, polarization, or antenna panel to be used for uplink transmission, and other examples, based on the measurement report.

[0129] Alternatively, UE 120 may receive a Scheduling Request Indicator (SRI) or a message including an antenna port field configured with values ​​indicating the beam, polarization, or antenna panel that UE 120 will use for uplink transmission, and other examples. For example, UE 120 may receive an indication of a value for the SRI or antenna port field and may map that value to a configuration of polarization, panel, or beam used for uplink transmission. In this case, UE 120 may map the value to the configuration at least in part based on the configured mapping. For example, base station 110 may send information identifying the mapping set (e.g., mapping values ​​to a configured lookup table) via static signaling and may later use dynamic signaling to send information identifying the values ​​that UE 120 will use to map using the mapping set.

[0130] In some aspects, base station 110 can be configured with a delay value. For example, base station 110 can be configured with a delay between the time indicated for antenna configuration and the time when UE 120 is to implement antenna configuration, to take into account, for example, processing delay. In this case, base station 110 can determine the delay at least in part based on UE capabilities. For example, base station 110 can determine the delay at least in part based on UE capabilities and send DCI or MAC-CE to identify the delay.

[0131] As in Figure 8 As further shown by reference numeral 825 in the accompanying drawings, UE 120 can transmit uplink data to base station 110. For example, based at least in part on determining a UE antenna configuration corresponding to the BS antenna configuration of base station 110, UE 120 can use one or more selected polarizations, one or more selected antenna panels, or one or more selected beams, and other examples, to transmit uplink data.

[0132] As pointed out above, Figure 8 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 8 The example described.
