[Technical Field]

[0002] The following relates to wireless communications, including parameter configuration for configured permission-based multi-transmit / receive point communications. [Background technology]

[0003] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, and broadcasts. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple-access systems include fourth-generation (4G) systems, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth-generation (5G) systems, sometimes referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ technologies such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple-access communication system may include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each simultaneously supporting communication for multiple communication devices, sometimes known as user equipment (UE).

[0004]

[0004] Configured grant uplink communication (UL CG) is a communication in which a UE receives in advance (on a semi-persistent basis) configuration for multiple UL transmissions. The configuration received by the UE configures various parameters so that UL transmissions can occur without dynamic grants. Among these parameters are redundancy version (RV) orders and power control parameters. The RV orders represent various levels of redundancy used by the UE when transmitting repetitions of UL CG transmissions. Summary of the Invention

The UE may map the first and second sets of power control parameters to the first and second sets of repetitions according to a mapping rule.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0072]

[0082] A configured grant uplink communication (UL CG) is a communication in which the UE receives in advance (on a semi-persistent basis) a configuration for multiple UL transmissions. The configuration received by the UE configures various parameters so that UL transmissions can occur without dynamic grants. Among these parameters are redundancy version (RV) value orders and power control parameters. The RV value orders represent various levels of redundancy used by the UE when transmitting repetitions of the UL CG transmission. The power control parameters are used to determine the transmit power of the UL CG transmissions.

[0073]

[0083] A wireless communication system may also support channel repetition of various channels to improve communication reliability, among other benefits. For example, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to repeat uplink data or control channel transmissions to increase the likelihood of successful reception at a base station. Various repetition configurations may be supported for various channels. In some cases, channel repetition may be configured into two or more different sets, where each set is to be transmitted according to a respective set of transmission parameters. In some cases, the transmission parameters correspond to a transmit beam, and thus each set of repetitions may be transmitted using a different transmit beam. Using different transmit beams may support an increased likelihood of reception and decoding of the channel at a receiving device, such as a base station, with multiple transmit / receive points (TRPs). For example, a wireless communication system may support repetition of uplink transmissions according to a UL CG configuration.

[0074]

[0084] The techniques described herein support determining different parameters for two different sets of UL CG repetitions and applying different rules. For example, a UE may be configured with a pair of RV sequences such that each sequence in the pair is to be applied to a corresponding set of repetitions. Each sequence may be explicitly signaled to the UE (as a pair of sequences). Alternatively, one sequence may be signaled with an offset value. The offset value is used to determine the second sequence (e.g., using a shift or modulo operation). Furthermore, the starting position of the initial transmission of the repetition may be determined based on the transmission occasion corresponding to a zero-valued RV of one or both sequences.

[0075]

[0085] Further techniques described herein support mapping first and second sets of power control parameters (configured in the UE) to first and second sets of transmissions using various techniques. To determine the mapping order, the UE may consider a lower or higher identifier value of the power control parameter, the configuration order of the parameter, the configured repetition set transmission order, whether the downlink control information (DCI) is an activation DCI, or some combination of these considerations. These and other techniques are described in further detail with respect to the following figures.

[0076]

[0086] Aspects of the present disclosure are first described in the context of a wireless communication system. Aspects of the present disclosure are further described in the context of a wireless communication system illustrating transmission repetitions in a UL CG, a set of repetition mapping configurations, and process flow diagrams. Aspects of the present disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts related to parameter configuration for CG-based multi-transmit / receive point communications.

[0077]

[0087] 1 illustrates an example of a wireless communication system 100 that supports parameter configuration for CG-based multi-transmit / receive point communication in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more base stations 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission-critical) communications, low-latency communications, communications using low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof.

[0078]

[0088] The base stations 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communication system 100 and may be devices of different types or with different capabilities. The base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 may provide a coverage area 110 over which the UEs 115 and the base station 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which the base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may support communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies.

[0079]

[0089] The UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be fixed, mobile, or both at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices of different forms or with different capabilities. Some example UEs 115 are shown in FIG. 1. The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, base stations 105, or network equipment (e.g., core network nodes, relay devices, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network equipment), as shown in FIG. 1.

[0080]

[0090] The base stations 105 may communicate with the core network 130, with each other, or both. For example, the base stations 105 may interface with the core network 130 through one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via an S1, N2, N3, or other interface). The base stations 105 may communicate with each other over the backhaul links 120 (e.g., via an X2, Xn, or other interface) either directly (e.g., directly between the base stations 105) or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130), or both. In some examples, the backhaul links 120 may be or include one or more wireless links.

[0081]

[0091] One or more of the base stations 105 described herein may include or be referred to by those skilled in the art as a base transceiver station, radio base station, access point, radio transceiver, Node B, eNode B (eNB), Next Generation Node B or GigaNode B (any of which may be referred to as gNB), Home Node B, Home eNode B, or other suitable terminology.

[0082]

[0092] The UE 115 may include or be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where a “device” may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. The UE 115 may also include or be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, the UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine-type communication (MTC) device, among other examples, which may be implemented in various objects, such as an appliance, a vehicle, a meter, among other examples.

[0083]

[0093] The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, which may act as relays at times, as shown in FIG. 1, as well as base stations 105 and network equipment, including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, among other examples.

[0084]

[0094] The UE 115 and the base station 105 may wirelessly communicate with each other via one or more communication links 125 via one or more carriers. The term “carrier” may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication link 125. For example, a carrier used for the communication link 125 may include a portion of a radio frequency spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) operated according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling coordinating operation for the carrier, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communication system 100 may support communication with the UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. The UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation can be used with both frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers.

[0085]

[0095] In some examples (e.g., in a carrier aggregation configuration), a carrier may also have acquisition or control signaling that coordinates operation for other carriers. Carriers may be associated with frequency channels (e.g., Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Numbers (EARFCNs)) and may be arranged according to a channel raster for discovery by UE 115. A carrier may be operated in a standalone mode, where initial acquisition and connection may be made by UE 115 via the carrier, or a carrier may be operated in a non-standalone mode, where a connection is established using a different carrier (e.g., of the same or different radio access technology).

[0086]

[0096] The communication links 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include uplink transmissions from the UE 115 to the base station 105 or downlink transmissions from the base station 105 to the UE 115. A carrier may carry downlink or uplink communications (e.g., in FDD mode) or may be configured to carry downlink and uplink communications (e.g., in TDD mode).

[0087]

[0097] A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of the radio frequency spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as the carrier or the “system bandwidth” of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of several determined bandwidths (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 megahertz (MHz)) for a carrier of a particular radio access technology. The devices of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., the base station 105, the UE 115, or both) may have a hardware configuration that supports communication over a particular carrier bandwidth or may be configurable to support communication over one of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include a base station 105 or a UE 115 that supports simultaneous communication via carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate over a portion (e.g., a sub-band, BWP) or all of the carrier bandwidth.

[0088]

[0098] A signal waveform transmitted on a carrier may be composed of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using a multicarrier modulation (MCM) technique such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing an MCM technique, a resource element may consist of one symbol period (e.g., the duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and the subcarrier spacing have an inverse relationship. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Thus, the more resource elements and the higher the order of the modulation scheme received by the UE 115, the higher the data rate for the UE 115 may be. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of radio frequency spectrum resources, time resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers may further increase the data rate or data integrity for communications with the UE 115.

[0089]

[0099] One or more numerologies may be supported for a carrier, where the numerology may include a subcarrier spacing (Δf) and a cyclic prefix. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs having the same or different numerologies. In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier may be active at a given time, and communication for the UE 115 may be limited to one or more active BWPs.

[0090]

[0100] The time interval for the base station 105 or the UE 115 may be, for example, T s =1 / (Δf max N f ) seconds, where Δf max may represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and N fmay represent the maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size. The communication resource time intervals may be organized according to radio frames, each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0091]

[0101] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided into subframes (e.g., in the time domain), and each subframe may be further divided into several slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of slots, and the number of slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each slot may include several symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of a cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communications systems 100, a slot may be further divided into multiple minislots containing one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may include one or more (e.g., N f The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or the frequency operating band.

[0092]

[0102] A subframe, slot, minislot, or symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

[0093]

[0103] Physical channels may be multiplexed on carriers according to various techniques. Physical control channels and physical data channels may be multiplexed on downlink carriers using, for example, one or more of a time division multiplexing (TDM) technique, a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technique, or a hybrid TDM-FDM technique. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) of a physical control channel may be defined by several symbol periods and may span the system bandwidth of a carrier or a subset of the system bandwidth. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESET) may be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 may monitor or search the control region for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or more control channel candidates at one or more aggregation levels configured in a cascaded manner. The aggregation level of the control channel candidates may refer to several control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with coded information for a control information format having a given payload size. The search space sets may include a common search space set configured for sending control information to multiple UEs 115 and a UE-specific search space set for sending control information to a specific UE 115.

[0094]

[0104] Each base station 105 may provide communication coverage via one or more cells, e.g., macro cells, small cells, hot spots, or other types of cells, or any combination thereof. The term “cell” may refer to a logical communication entity used for communication with the base station 105 (e.g., on a carrier) and may be associated with an identifier (e.g., a physical cell identifier (PCID), a virtual cell identifier (VCID), or other) to distinguish neighboring cells. In some examples, a cell may also refer to a geographic coverage area 110 or a portion (e.g., a sector) of a geographic coverage area 110 in which the logical communication entity operates. Such a cell may range from a smaller area (e.g., a structure, a subset of a structure) to a larger area, depending on various factors such as the capabilities of the base station 105. For example, a cell may be or include a building, a subset of a building, or an outer space between or overlapping with the geographic coverage area 110, among other examples.

[0095]

[0105] A macro cell generally covers a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 115 with a service subscription with the network provider that supports the macro cell. Small cells may be associated with lower-power base stations 105 compared to macro cells, and the small cells may operate in the same or different (e.g., licensed, unlicensed) frequency bands as the macro cell. A small cell may provide unrestricted access to UEs 115 with a service subscription with the network provider, or may provide restricted access to UEs 115 that have an association with the small cell (e.g., UEs 115 in a closed subscriber group (CSG), UEs 115 associated with users at home or in the office). A base station 105 may support one or more cells and may also support communication on one or more cells using one or more component carriers.

[0096]

[0106] In some examples, a carrier may support multiple cells, and different cells may be configured according to different protocol types (e.g., MTC, Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB)) that may provide access to different types of devices.

[0097]

[0107] In some examples, the base stations 105 are mobile and may therefore provide communication coverage to moving geographic coverage areas 110. In some examples, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same base station 105. In other examples, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include a heterogeneous network in which different types of base stations 105 provide coverage to various geographic coverage areas 110, for example, using the same or different radio access technologies.

[0098]

[0108] The wireless communications system 100 may support synchronous or asynchronous operation. For synchronous operation, the base stations 105 may have similar frame timing, and transmissions from different base stations 105 may be approximately aligned in time. For asynchronous operation, the base stations 105 may have different frame timing, and transmissions from different base stations 105 may, in some examples, not be aligned in time. The techniques described herein may be used for either synchronous or asynchronous operation.

[0099]

[0109] Some UEs 115, such as MTC or IoT devices, may be low-cost or low-complexity devices and may provide automated communication between machines (e.g., via machine-to-machine (M2M) communication). M2M communication or MTC may refer to data communication technologies that enable devices to communicate with each other or with a base station 105 without human intervention. In some examples, M2M communication or MTC may include communication from devices that incorporate sensors or meters to measure or capture information and relay such information to a central server or application program that utilizes the information or presents the information to a human interacting with the application program. Some UEs 115 may be designed to collect information or enable automated behavior of machines or other devices. Examples of applications for MTC devices include smart metering, inventory monitoring, water level monitoring, equipment monitoring, healthcare monitoring, wildlife monitoring, weather and geological event monitoring, fleet management and tracking, remote security detection, physical access control, and transaction-based business billing.

[0100]

[0110] Some UEs 115 may be configured to employ operating modes that reduce power consumption, such as half-duplex communication (e.g., a mode that supports one-way communication via transmission or reception rather than simultaneous transmission and reception). In some examples, half-duplex communication may be implemented at a reduced peak rate. Other power-saving techniques for UEs 115 include entering a power-saving deep sleep mode when not engaged in active communication, operating on a limited bandwidth (e.g., pursuant to narrowband communication), or a combination of these techniques. For example, some UEs 115 may be configured for operation using a narrowband protocol type associated with a defined portion or range (e.g., a set of subcarriers or resource blocks (RBs)) within a carrier, within a guard band of the carrier, or outside of the carrier.

[0101]

[0111] The wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable or low-latency communications, or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) or mission-critical communications. The UE 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions (e.g., mission-critical functions). Ultra-reliable communications may include private or group communications and may be supported by one or more mission-critical services, such as mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT), mission-critical video (MCVideo), or mission-critical data (MCData). Support for mission-critical functions may include service prioritization, and the mission-critical services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, mission-critical, and ultra-reliable low-latency may be used interchangeably herein.

[0102]

[0112] In some examples, the UE 115 may also be able to communicate directly with other UEs 115 over a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol). One or more UEs 115 utilizing D2D communication may be within the geographic coverage area 110 of the base station 105. Other UEs 115 in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of the base station 105 or may otherwise be unable to receive transmissions from the base station 105. In some examples, a group of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to every other UE 115 in the group. In some examples, the base station 105 facilitates scheduling of resources for D2D communication. In other cases, D2D communication occurs between UEs 115 without the involvement of the base station 105.

[0103]

[0113] In some systems, the D2D communication link 135 may be an example of a communication channel, such as a sidelink communication channel, between vehicles (e.g., UE 115). In some examples, vehicles may communicate using vehicle-to-anything (V2X) communication, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, or some combination thereof. Vehicles may signal information regarding traffic conditions, signal scheduling, weather, safety, emergency situations, or any other information relevant to the V2X system. In some examples, vehicles in a V2X system may communicate with roadside infrastructure, such as roadside units, or a network via one or more network nodes (e.g., base stations 105) using vehicle-to-network (V2N) communication, or both.

[0104]

[0114] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or 5G core (5GC) that may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) that manages access and mobility, and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)) that routes packets or interconnections to external networks. The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management, for UEs 115 served by base stations 105 associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be forwarded through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entities may be connected to IP services 150 for one or more network operators. The IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, intranet(s), IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0105]

[0115] Some of the network devices, such as the base station 105, may include sub-components such as an access network entity 140, which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity 140 may communicate with the UE 115 through one or more other access network transmitting entities 145, which may be referred to as a radio head, a smart radio head, or a transmit / receive point (TRP). Each access network transmitting entity 145 may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, various functions of each access network entity 140 or base station 105 may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs) or integrated into a single network device (e.g., the base station 105).

[0106]

[0116] The wireless communication system 100 may typically operate using one or more frequency bands in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally, the 300 MHz to 3 GHz region is known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because wavelengths range from approximately 1 decimeter to 1 meter in length. Although UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, the waves may penetrate structures sufficiently for a macrocell to provide service to UEs 115 located indoors. Transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter distances (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to transmissions using smaller frequencies and longer waves in the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0107]

[0117] The wireless communication system 100 may also operate in the very high frequency (SHF) region, using the frequency band from 3 GHz to 30 GHz, also known as the centimeter band, or the extremely high frequency (EHF) region of the spectrum, also known as the millimeter band (e.g., from 30 GHz to 300 GHz). In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support millimeter wave (mmW) communications between the UE 115 and the base station 105, and the EHF antennas on each device may be smaller and more closely spaced than the UHF antennas. In some examples, this may facilitate the use of antenna arrays within the device. However, propagation of EHF transmissions may experience greater atmospheric attenuation and be shorter distances than SHF or UHF transmissions. The techniques disclosed herein may be employed across transmissions using one or more different frequency regions, and the designated use of bands across these frequency regions may vary by country or regulatory authority.

[0108]

[0118] The wireless communication system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may employ license-assisted access (LAA), LTE unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in an unlicensed band, such as the 5 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band. When operating in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, devices such as the base station 105 and the UE 115 may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operation in an unlicensed band may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration with component carriers operating in a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operation in an unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among other examples.

[0109]

[0119] The base station 105 or the UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that can be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of the base station 105 or the UE 115 may be located in one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels that can support MIMO operation or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located in an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with the base station 105 may be located in various geographic locations. The base station 105 may have an antenna array with several rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station 105 can use to support beamforming of communications with the UE 115. Similarly, the UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that can support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for signals transmitted through the antenna ports.

[0110]

[0120] The base station 105 or UE 115 may use MIMO communications to exploit multipath signal propagation and increase spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. Such techniques are sometimes referred to as spatial multiplexing. Multiple signals may be transmitted by a transmitting device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas, for example. Similarly, multiple signals may be received by a receiving device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry bits associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device, and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices.

[0111]

[0121] Beamforming, sometimes referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting or receiving device (e.g., base station 105, UE 115) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., transmit beam, receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting and receiving devices. Beamforming may be achieved by combining signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating in a particular orientation relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference and others experience destructive interference. Adjustment of signals communicated via antenna elements may include the transmitting or receiving device applying an amplitude offset, a phase offset, or both to signals carried via the antenna element associated with the device. The adjustment associated with each of the antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting or receiving device or to some other orientation).

[0112]

[0122] The base station 105 or the UE 115 may use beam sweeping techniques as part of a beamforming operation. For example, the base station 105 may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to perform a beamforming operation for directional communication with the UE 115. Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be transmitted multiple times in different directions by the base station 105. For example, the base station 105 may transmit signals according to different beamforming weight sets associated with different transmission directions. The transmissions in different beam directions may be used (e.g., by a transmitting device such as the base station 105 or by a receiving device such as the UE 115) to identify beam directions for subsequent transmission or reception by the base station 105.

[0113]

[0123] Some signals, such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device, may be transmitted by the base station 105 in a single beam direction (e.g., a direction associated with a receiving device such as the UE 115). In some examples, the beam direction associated with a transmission along a single beam direction may be determined based on signals transmitted in one or more beam directions. For example, the UE 115 may receive one or more of the signals transmitted by the base station 105 in different directions and may report to the base station 105 an indication of the signal that the UE 115 received with the best or otherwise acceptable signal quality.

[0114]

[0124] In some examples, transmission by a device (e.g., by the base station 105 or the UE 115) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may use a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming to generate a composite beam for transmission (e.g., from the base station 105 to the UE 115). The UE 115 may report feedback indicating precoding weights for one or more beam directions, where the feedback may correspond to a configured number of beams across the system bandwidth or one or more subbands. The base station 105 may transmit a reference signal (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)), which may be precoded or ampliconed. The UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., a multi-panel type codebook, a linear combination type codebook, a port selection type codebook). Although these techniques have been described with respect to signals transmitted in one or more directions by the base station 105, the UE 115 may employ similar techniques to transmit a signal multiple times in different directions (e.g., to identify a beam direction for subsequent transmission or reception by the UE 115) or to transmit a signal in a single direction (e.g., to transmit data to a receiving device).

[0115]

[0125] A receiving device (e.g., UE 115) may attempt multiple receive configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals from the base station 105, such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals. For example, the receiving device may attempt multiple receive directions by receiving via different antenna subarrays, by processing received signals according to different antenna subarrays, by receiving according to different receive beamforming weight sets (e.g., different directional listening weight sets) applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array, or by processing received signals according to different receive beamforming weight sets applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array, any of which may be referred to as “listening” according to different receive configurations or receive directions. In some examples, the receiving device may use a single receive configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). A single receiving configuration may be aligned in a beam direction determined based on listening along different receiving configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have the highest signal strength, highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or otherwise acceptable signal quality based on listening along multiple beam directions).

[0116]

[0126] The wireless communication system 100 may be a packet-based network operating according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communications at the bearer or Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer may be IP-based. The Radio Link Control (RLC) layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate over logical channels. The Medium Access Control (MAC) layer may perform priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels onto transport channels. The MAC layer may also use error detection techniques, error correction techniques, or both to support retransmissions at the MAC layer to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol layer may provide establishment, configuration, and maintenance of an RRC connection between the UE 115 and the base station 105 or core network 130, which supports radio bearers for user plane data. In the physical layer, transport channels may be mapped to physical channels.

[0117]

[0127] The UE 115 and the base station 105 may support retransmission of data to increase the likelihood that the data will be successfully received. Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback is one technique for increasing the likelihood that data will be accurately received over the communication link 125. HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the MAC layer in poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise conditions). In some examples, a device may support same-slot HARQ feedback, where the device may provide HARQ feedback in a particular slot for data received in a previous symbol in that slot. In other cases, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent slot or according to some other time interval.

[0118]

[0128] The wireless communication system 100 may support UL CG transmissions, where the UE 115 receives a configuration for multiple UL transmissions in advance (e.g., from a base station 105) (e.g., on a semi-persistent basis). Additionally, the wireless communication system 100 may support repetition of a communication channel, such as an uplink control channel or an uplink shared channel. In some examples, the UL CG transmissions may be repetitions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). In some cases, the repetitions are configured in two sets, where each may be transmitted according to different transmission parameters (e.g., different beams) but contain the same content or data (e.g., PUSCH data). These techniques may improve the reliability and robustness of transmissions in multi-TRP or multi-panel scenarios (e.g., multi-TRP configured in one or more base stations 105). For example, if one link is blocked, another repetition may be decoded by the other TRP / panel, thus increasing the likelihood that the PUSCH will be received at the base station.

[0119]

[0129] The techniques described herein support assigning different parameters to two different sets of UL CG repetitions and applying different rules. For example, the UE 115 may be configured by the base station 105 with two sets of parameters to be assigned to each set of UL CG repetitions. The two sets of parameters may include RV sequences, power control parameters, or a combination thereof. To configure the UE with two sets of RV sequences, the base station 105 may explicitly indicate the two RV sequences (as a pair) or may indicate one RV sequence along with an indication of an offset value to be used by the UE 115 to determine the other RV sequence. Each set of uplink transmissions may be transmitted according to the respective RV sequence of the pair. Furthermore, the UE 115 may use one or both RV sequences to determine the starting position of an initial transmission of an uplink transmission.

[0120]

[0130] The UE 115 may be configured with two sets of power control parameters, where each set of power control parameters is to be mapped to a respective set of uplink transmissions. The UE 115 may consider an identifier value, a configuration order, a configured repetition set transmission order, a DCI type activating a transmission, or some combination thereof to map the sets of power control parameters to the respective sets of uplink transmissions. Thus, using these techniques, the UE 115 can improve communication reliability of the wireless communication system by applying parameters to the respective transmission sets, which may improve transmit diversity and result in an increased probability of successful transmission.

[0121]

[0131] 2 illustrates an example of a wireless communication system 200 that supports parameter configuration for CG-based multi-transmit / receive point communication in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communication system 200 may implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the wireless communication system 200 includes a base station 105-a and a UE 115-a, which may be examples of the corresponding devices of FIG. 1. FIG. 2 illustrates example communication 205 between the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a, which may be located within the coverage area 110-a of the base station 105-a.

[0122]

[0132] As indicated by communication 205, the wireless communication system 200 may support UL CG communication. Two types of UL CG communication are shown. According to UL CG Type 1, UL communication is activated and configured via one or more control messages, such as RRC message 210-a. The RRC message 210-a may include, among other configuration parameters, an indication of power control (PC) parameters, a period, a number of repetitions (K), an offset, a modulation and coding scheme, and a demodulation reference signal configuration. The RRC message 210-a may activate UL CG transmissions (grant-free (GF) transmissions 215-a and 215-b), and another RRC message may deactivate the grant (e.g., unconfigure the grant).

[0123]

[0133] According to UL CG Type 2, a grant is a DCI that is activated upon receipt of an activation DCI (e.g., DCI message 220-a). Transmission parameters may be configured via one or more control messages, such as RRC and DCI messaging. For example, RRC message 210-b may indicate some parameters, such as power control (PC) parameters, a period, a modulation and coding scheme, and the number of repetitions (K), while activation DCI message 220-a may indicate other parameters, such as one or more sounding reference signal resource indicators (SRIs) and one or more transmit precoding matrix indices (TPMIs). A grant is deactivated using a deactivation DCI, which may include an offset value, a modulation and coding scheme, and a demodulation reference signal configuration. DCI message 220-a may activate GF transmissions 215-c and 215-d.

[0124]

[0134] As described herein, each GF transmission 215 may correspond to one or more sets of repetitions. For an initial transmission of a PUSCH in a UL CG Type 1 or Type 2 GF transmission 215, the UE 115-a may be configured with repK and repK-RV, where repK is the number of repetitions {1, 2, 4, 8} and repK-RV is an RV sequence {0231, 0303, 0000}. An RV sequence may be configured when repK>1. The nth transmission occasion uses the (mod(n-1, 4)+1)th value in the RV sequence, effectively cycling the UE 115 to the next value in the sequence for each subsequent transmission occasion. In some cases, the first transmission may start at the occasion corresponding to an RV of 0. Thus, if the configured RV sequence is {0, 2, 3, 1}, the first transmission may start at the first transmission occasion of the K repetitions. Furthermore, if the configured RV sequence is {0,3,0,3}, the first transmission may start in any of the transmission occasions for the K repetitions associated with the RV = 0. Furthermore, if the configured RV sequence is {0,0,0,0}, the first transmission may start in any of the transmission / repetition occasions of the K repetitions except for the final transmission / repetition occasion when K = 8. If startingFromRV0 is set to 'off', the initial transmission of a transport block may start only at the first transmission occasion of a repetition (for PUSCH repetition type A) or actual repetition (for PUSCH repetition type B).

[0125]

[0135] In some cases, a repetition is not transmitted if it would cross a slot boundary or fall into a downlink slot or a slot where uplink and downlink resources are separated in the frequency domain (e.g., S slot). According to some configurations, a repetition crosses a slot and terminates after K repetitions if it would cross into a UL CG period or is canceled by a dynamic grant.

[0126]

[0136] As described herein, to improve the reliability and robustness of uplink (e.g., control channel or PUSCH) repetitions, the repetitions may be transmitted in two different sets. Each set may be transmitted according to a different set of transmission parameters (e.g., beams). This technique may be useful in multi-TRP and / or multi-panel scenarios. That is, when the base station 105-b is configured with multiple TRPs or panels, using two different sets of repetitions may improve communication reliability by increasing transmission diversity. For UL CG, repetitions of a transport block may be transmitted to multiple TRPs of the base station 105-a in multiple PUSCH transmission occasions of a single CG configuration.

[0127]

[0137] To configure parameters such as power control parameters, a second field may be used to configure a second set of parameters. For example, the second fields of p0-PUSCH-Alpha and powerControlLoopToUse may be configured in the ConfiguredGrantConfig. Furthermore, for Type 1 CG-based multi-TRP PUSCH repetition, the second fields of pathlossReferenceIndex, srs-ResourceIndicator, and precodingAndNumberOfLayers may be configured in the rrc-ConfiguredUplinkGrant. For Type 2 CG-based multi-TRP PUSCH repetition, two seSRIs / TPMIs may be indicated via the activation DCI. For beam configuration, the two sets of repetitions may correspond to two sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets. Therefore, the DCI may indicate two beams and two sets of power control parameters by indicating one or more SRS resources in each of these two SRS resource sets.

[0128]

[0138] The techniques described herein support determining RV sequences, initial transmission start positions, and power control parameters for CG-based multi-TRP PUSCH repetitions. To configure two RV sequences for the two sets of repetitions, the base station 105-a may transmit one or more control messages to the UE 115-a. The control message (e.g., the RRC message 210 and / or the DCI message 220) may indicate a first redundancy version sequence to be applied to the first set of repetitions and a second redundancy version sequence to be applied to the second set of repetitions. Further, the UE 115-a may use the configured sequences to determine the starting position of the initial repetition from among the zero-value redundancy version values ​​of one or both redundancy version sequences configured in the UE 115-a. Further, the base station 105-a may transmit a control message (e.g., the RRC message 210 and / or the DCI message 220) to configure two sets of power control parameters in the UE 115-a. The UE 115-a may use a mapping rule to determine which set of power control parameters should be used to transmit which set of repetitions. These techniques are described in further detail with respect to FIGS. 3 and 4.

[0129]

[0139] FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a repetition pattern 300 supporting parameter configuration for CG-based multi-transmit / receive point communications according to aspects of the present disclosure. The repetition pattern 300 may be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication systems 100 and 200 described with respect to FIGS. 1 and 2. For example, the UE 115 may be configured by the base station 105 to transmit first and second sets of repetitions of uplink transmissions. The UE 115 may transmit the first and second sets of repetitions of uplink transmissions according to one of the repetition patterns 300 of FIG. 3, which may also be configured by the base station 105. The mapping pattern may be an example of a cyclic mapping pattern 305, where one repetition of one set is followed by a repetition of the other set, and this technique is repeated for the remaining repetitions. The mapping pattern may also be an example of a sequential mapping pattern 310, where consecutive (e.g., two) repetitions of one set are followed by consecutive (e.g., two) repetitions of the other set, and this technique is repeated for the remaining repetitions. Additionally, the UE 115 may be configured by the station 105 with the RV sequence for each set of repetitions using the techniques described herein.

[0130]

[0140] To configure RV sequences in UL CG Type 1 and Type 2, the base station 105 may configure the UE 115-a with RV sequence pairs from the following list in an RRC message (e.g., RRC message 210 of FIG. 2): {(0231,0231), (0231,0000), (0000,0231), (0231,0303), (0303,0231), (0303,0303), (0303,0000), (0000,0303), (0000,0000)}. Pairs may be configured when the number of repetitions, K, is greater than 1. Thus, as shown in cyclic mapping pattern 305-a, UE 115 is configured with an RV sequence pair (0231, 0303), where the first RV sequence of the pair (0231) is mapped to the first set of repetitions 320 in a sequential order, and the second RV sequence of the pair (0303) is mapped to the second set of repetitions 325 in a sequential order.

[0131]

[0141] Another technique configures a pair of sequences in UE 115-a by indicating a sequence (e.g., from {0231, 0303, 0000}) and an offset value (Δ). The offset and the first sequence may be used to determine a second sequence. According to one example, the offset value is interpreted as a shift in the configured sequence. For example, if Δ=1 and the indicated RV sequence is 0231, the second sequence may be determined as 2310 by shifting each value of the first sequence by the offset value (1). The shift may be applied when the configured RV sequence is not 0000. Thus, as shown in consecutive mapping pattern 310-a, UE 115 is configured with an RV sequence of 0231 and an offset value of 1. UE 115 uses the shift technique to determine the second RV sequence as 2310. The RV sequence is mapped to the first set of repetitions 320 and the second set of repetitions 325.

[0132]

[0142] According to another technique, the offset may be used in a modulo operation with the configured RV sequence to determine the second sequence. For example, if Δ=1 and an RV sequence 0231 is configured, the second RV sequence is (0231+1) mod 4=1302. In this manner, the offset is added to each value of the sequence, and each value is used in a modulo 4 operation (e.g., 4 is the length of the sequence), thereby resulting in a value of the second sequence. As shown in successive mapping pattern 310-b, the UE is configured with the RV sequence 0231 and an offset value of 1. The UE 115 uses the first sequence and the offset according to the modulo technique to determine the second sequence as 1302. The RV sequence is mapped to the first set of repetitions 320 and the second set of repetitions 325.

[0133]

[0143] The UE 115 may use various rules to determine which sequence should be used with which set of transmissions. In one example, a first indicated sequence (e.g., the first of a pair, or the sequence indicated with an offset) should be used for the first set of repetitions, and a second sequence (e.g., the second one indicated or determined based on an offset) should be used with the second set of repetitions. Furthermore, the UE 115 may use a DCI dynamic switching field (discussed below) to change these mappings (e.g., based on the value of the DCI dynamic switching field, the second sequence is mapped to the first set of repetitions 320 and the first sequence is mapped to the second set of repetitions 325).

[0134]

[0144] To determine the starting position (i.e., starting redundancy version sequence position) of the initial transmission of either the first set of repetitions or the second set of repetitions, the first transmission may start in any occasion of the RV sequence corresponding to RV0, and the occasions of both sets of PUSCH repetitions may be considered. Thus, using this technique in cyclic mapping pattern 305-b, UE 115 may start the initial transmission at either position 330-a or 330-b, since both map to a zero-value redundancy version value of either sequence. According to another option, the first transmission may start in the occasion corresponding to RV0 of the first set of occasions of PUSCH repetitions corresponding to the first SRS resource set (e.g., associated with the first beam, the first set of power control parameters). Thus, if the first set of repetitions is configured with the first SRS resource set, the RV sequence corresponding to the first set of repetitions is considered to determine the starting position (e.g., based on the occasion associated with RV0 of the sequence). Using this technique in cyclic mapping pattern 305-c, the UE may begin initial transmission at location 330-c because this location maps to the RV0 value of the first set of repetitions 320 corresponding to the first SRS resource set (first set of beams).

[0135]

[0145] For power control parameters of multi-TRP PUSCH repetitions in UL CG type 2, when a DCI activates CG PUSCH repetitions, the power control parameters may be mapped to a set of repetitions using a mapping rule. In some cases, the applied mapping rule may depend on whether dynamic order switching is supported. Dynamic order switching may refer to a technique in which the order of repetitions may be dynamically (e.g., DCI) configured. That is, whether a first set of repetitions corresponding to a first SRS set is transmitted before a second set of repetitions corresponding to a second SRS set, or vice versa, may depend on the DCI dynamic switching field. One technique considers the parameter P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId, which may be applied to P0-PUSCH-Alpha. For example, the mapping rule may be that a P0-PUSCH-Alpha with a lower ID corresponds to the first SRS resource set, and a P0-PUSCH-Alpha with a higher ID corresponds to the second SRS resource set. Another mapping rule may be that the P0-PUSCH-Alpha with a higher ID corresponds to the first SRS resource set, the P0-PUSCH-Alpha with a lower ID corresponds to the second SRS resource set, etc. Thus, parameters may be mapped to each repetition set based on the value of one parameter set relative to the P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId value of the second parameter set.

[0136]

[0146] Other mapping rules for mapping power control parameters to the first and second PUSCH repetition sets (e.g., Type 2 PUSCH repetitions) may depend on the order of the parameters in the RRC configuration. For example, according to the mapping rule, the first field (legacy field) of P0-PUSCH-Alpha indicated by the RRC message 210-b corresponds to the first set of repetitions (e.g., corresponding to the first SRS resource set), and the second field (newly introduced field) of P0-PUSCH-Alpha indicated by the RRC message 210-b corresponds to the second set of repetitions (e.g., corresponding to the second SRS resource set). As another example, according to the mapping rule, the first field (legacy field) of P0-PUSCH-Alpha corresponds to the second set of repetitions (e.g., corresponding to the second SRS resource set), and the second field (newly introduced field) of P0-PUSCH-Alpha corresponds to the first set of repetitions (e.g., corresponding to the first SRS resource set).

[0137]

[0147] Table 1 below assumes a mapping rule where P0-PUSCH-Alpha with a lower ID corresponds to the first SRS resource set, and P0-PUSCH-Alpha with a higher ID corresponds to the second SRS resource set.

[0138] [Table 1]

[0139]

[0148] If dynamic order switching is supported, UE 115-a may apply a mapping rule that depends on the order configured in the DCI as well as the mapping rule. For example, the above mapping rule related to P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId or the order of the RRC parameter configuration may be used with the transmission order indicated in the DCI (e.g., whether the first transmission of the first set or the first transmission of the second set should be transmitted first). Table 2 below assumes that the mapping rule is such that P0-PUSCH-Alpha with a lower ID corresponds to the first SRS resource set and P0-PUSCH-Alpha with a higher ID corresponds to the second SRS resource set.

[0140] [Table 2]

[0141]

[0149] Thus, the mapping rule corresponds to which set is transmitted first. In the last row of Table 2, the DCI codepoint indicates that the order should be switched (e.g., the second set followed by the first set). Thus, the mapping rule maps P0-PUSCH-Alpha, which has a lower ID, to the second transmission set of the recurrence. As noted above, the other mapping rules discussed above may similarly be used with the transmission order indicated via DCI.

[0142]

[0150] According to another mapping rule, UE 115 may determine that when the second fields of p0-PUSCH-Alpha and powerControlLoopToUse are RRC configured for CG configuration, the first set of repetitions 320 (and the first fields of p0-PUSCH-Alpha and powerControlLoopToUse) should be associated with a first SRS resource set and the second set of repetitions 325 (and the second fields of p0-PUSCH-Alpha and powerControlLoopToUse) should be associated with a second SRS resource set. Thus, DCI fields for dynamic switching are not applicable or ignored in the activation DCI but may be used for dynamic authorization. However, DCI fields may be used in the mapping rule depending on the configuration. For example, UE 115 may ignore the DCI dynamic switching field of each configured grant occasion except for the first CG occasion after receiving the activation DCI. In this example, it is assumed that the remaining UL CG occasions (after the first UL CG occasion) are scheduled without a corresponding physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and that the first UL CG occasion is scheduled on a PDCCH. Thus, for the first UL CG occasion after CG activation, as well as for the PUSCH scheduled by the DCI corresponding to the retransmission of the UL CG (e.g., scrambled with the CS-RNTI with a new data indicator (NDI)=1), the UE 115 may follow the DCI field regarding dynamic switching.

[0143]

[0151] Furthermore, the UE 115 may not use a DCI field for each CG PUSCH occasion after activation. Thus, for a CRC-scrambled DCI with CS-RNTI and NDI=0 (activation), the DCI field may not be used, where NDI is a new data indicator field. However, for a PUSCH scheduled by a DCI corresponding to a retransmission of the UL CG (CS-RNTI with NDI=1), the UE may use a DCI field for dynamic switching. In some cases, the DCI field for a retransmission of the UL CG is not used. Thus, for a CRC-scrambled DCI with CS-RNTI and NDI=0 (activation) or NDI=1 (scheduling a retransmission), the new DCI field may not be used. In these examples when the DCI field is not used, the result is that whether to have two sets of repetitions (for multiple TRPs) depends on the RRC configuration of the second fields of p0-PUSCH-Alpha and powerControlLoopToUse for each CG configuration.

[0144]

[0152] 4 illustrates an example process flow 400 supporting parameter configuration for CG-based multi-transmit / receive point communications according to an aspect of the present disclosure. Process flow 400 may implement or be implemented by aspects of wireless communications system 100 or 200. For example, process flow 400 may be implemented by UE 115-b and base station 105-b, which may each represent an example of a device described with reference to FIGS. 1-3. Process flow 400 may be implemented by UE 115-b and base station 105-b to support parameter mapping for uplink transmission repetitions, for example, as described with reference to FIGS. 1-3.

[0145]

[0153] In the following description of process flow 400, operations may be performed in an order different from that shown, or the operations performed by UE 115-b and base station 105-b may be performed in a different order or at different times. Also, for example, certain operations may be omitted from process flow 400, or other operations may be added to process flow 400. Although UE 115-b and base station 105-b are shown performing the operations of process flow 400, some aspects of some operations may also be performed by one or more other devices.

[0146]

[0154] At 405, the UE 115-b may receive one or more control messages scheduling a first set of repetitions of uplink transmissions corresponding to a first transmission / reception point and a second set of repetitions of uplink transmissions corresponding to a second transmission / reception point. The first and second transmission / reception points may be located in the base station 105-b or on separate base stations. The one or more control messages may indicate a first redundancy version sequence to be applied to the first set of repetitions and a second redundancy version sequence to be applied to the second set of repetitions. For example, the one or more control messages may indicate the first redundancy version sequence and an offset value (a single control message, such as an RRC message, may indicate the first redundancy version sequence and the offset value). The one or more control messages may comprise one or more RRC messages (e.g., RRC message 210-a or 210-b), one or more DCI messages (e.g., DCI message 220), or a combination thereof. In some cases, the one or more control messages include a first control message indicating a first set of power control parameters and a second set of power control parameters. The one or more control messages may include a DCI message that schedules a first set of repetitions of uplink transmissions to a first transmitting / receiving point and a second set of repetitions of uplink transmissions to a second transmitting / receiving point.

[0147]

[0155] At 410, UE 115-b may determine first and second RV sequences. In some cases, one or more control messages include an explicit indication of a pair of RV sequences to be applied to the first and second sets of repetitions (e.g., one control message indicates the pair). In other cases, one or more control messages may indicate one of the sequences and an offset value used by UE 115-b to determine the second RV sequence. For example, UE 115-a may shift the indicated RV sequence by the offset value to determine the second RV sequence, or may use a modulo operation with the offset value to determine the second RV sequence. In some examples, UE 115-b applies the RV sequence to each set of transmissions based on the order of the indication of the RV sequence (e.g., the first indicated RV sequence is applied to the first set of repetitions, or vice versa). In some examples, UE 115-b may consider a DCI dynamic switching indication field to determine the application order of the RV sequence.

[0148]

[0156] At 415, the UE 115-b may determine a starting position of the initial repetition of the first or second set of repetitions. In some cases, the UE 115-b may determine the starting RV sequence position of the initial repetition of the uplink transmission from among zero-value RV values ​​of only the first RV sequence according to the first set of repetitions corresponding to the first sounding reference signal resource set. In other cases, the UE 115-b may determine the starting redundancy version sequence position of the initial repetition of the uplink transmission from among zero-value redundancy version values ​​of both the first redundancy version sequence and the second redundancy version sequence.

[0149]

[0157] At 420, the UE 115-b may map each one of the first set of power control parameters and the second set of power control parameters to the first set of repetitions and the second set of repetitions according to a power control parameter mapping rule. The power control parameter mapping rule may be that the UE 115-b should consider an identifier value (P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId) of the power control parameter. The mapping rule may be that the UE should consider an order of the RRC configuration (e.g., that the set of power control parameters indicated by the first field of the first control message should apply to the set of repetitions corresponding to the first sounding reference signal resource set). The mapping rule may also indicate that the UE 115-b should consider a dynamic switching order indicated in the activation DCI. In some cases, the dynamic switching order is considered for the first set of repetitions of the set of UL CG occasions or in retransmissions of the UL CG.

[0150]

[0158] At 425, the UE 115-b may transmit a first repetition of the first set of repetitions according to a first redundancy version value of the first redundancy version sequence. The first repetition may be transmitted to a first TRP based on the configuration of the first set of repetitions. At 430, the UE 115-b may transmit a second repetition of the second set of repetitions according to a second redundancy version value of the second redundancy version sequence. The second repetition may be transmitted to a second TRP based on the configuration of the second set of repetitions. The first TRP and the second TRP may be part of the base station 105-b or may be in different base stations. The UE 115-b may also transmit the first and second sets of repetitions according to a determined starting position using, for example, a mapped power control parameter.

[0155]

[0163] In some examples, the communications manager 520, the receiver 510, the transmitter 515, or various combinations or components thereof may be implemented in hardware (e.g., in communications management circuitry). The hardware may include a processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof configured as or otherwise supporting a means for performing the functions described in this disclosure.

[0157]

[0165] In some examples, the communications manager 520 may be configured to perform various operations (e.g., receiving, monitoring, transmitting) using or otherwise cooperating with the receiver 510, the transmitter 515, or both. For example, the communications manager 520 may be incorporated in combination with the receiver 510, the transmitter 515, or both to receive information from the receiver 510, send information to the transmitter 515, or receive information, transmit information, or perform various other operations described herein.

[0158]

[0166] Communications manager 520 may support wireless communications in a UE according to examples disclosed herein. For example, communications manager 520 may be configured with or otherwise support a means for receiving one or more control messages that schedule a first set of repetitions of uplink transmissions to a first transmission / reception point and a second set of repetitions of uplink transmissions to a second transmission / reception point, where the one or more control messages indicate a first redundancy version sequence to be applied to the first set of repetitions and a second redundancy version sequence to be applied to the second set of repetitions. Communications manager 520 may be configured with or otherwise support a means for transmitting a first repetition of the first set of repetitions according to a first redundancy version value of the first redundancy version sequence. Communications manager 520 may be configured with or otherwise support a means for transmitting a second repetition of the second set of repetitions according to a second redundancy version value of the second redundancy version sequence.

[0159]

[0167] For example, communications manager 520 may be configured with or otherwise support a means for receiving one or more control messages that activate or schedule a first set of repetitions of uplink transmissions corresponding to a first transmitting / receiving point and a second set of repetitions of uplink transmissions corresponding to a second transmitting / receiving point, where the one or more control messages indicate a first redundancy version sequence and an offset value. Communications manager 520 may be configured with or otherwise support a means for determining a second redundancy version sequence using a modulo operator that yields the offset value, each redundancy version value of the first redundancy version sequence, and each redundancy version value of the second redundancy version sequence. Communications manager 520 may be configured with or otherwise support a means for transmitting a first repetition of the first set of repetitions according to a first redundancy version value of the first redundancy version sequence and a second repetition of the second set of repetitions according to a second redundancy version value of the second redundancy version sequence.

[0160]

The communications manager 520 may be configured as or otherwise support a means for receiving a downlink control information message scheduling a first set of repetitions of uplink transmissions to a first transmitting / receiving point and a second set of repetitions of uplink transmissions to a second transmitting / receiving point.

The communications manager 520 may be configured as or otherwise support a means for transmitting the first set of repetitions using a first transmit power and the second set of repetitions using a second transmit power, where the first transmit power and the second transmit power are determined based on the mapping of the first set of power control parameters and the second set of power control parameters.

[0161]

[0169] By including or configuring a communications manager 520 according to examples described herein, the device 505 (e.g., a processor controlling or otherwise coupled to the receiver 510, the transmitter 515, the communications manager 520, or a combination thereof) may support techniques for more efficient utilization of communications resources by configuring RV sequences for decoding, as well as reduced power consumption by configuring power control parameters for uplink repetition sets. Furthermore, resources are used more efficiently by supporting an increased likelihood of successful transmission based on the repetition sets supported by the present techniques.
