20210337529 | Information Transmission Method and Apparatus - This application provides an information transmission method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, a plurality of downlink data channels, where the plurality of downlink data channels are scheduled through a plurality of downlink control channels; determining, by the terminal device based on the plurality of downlink data channels, one or more pieces of feedback information corresponding to at least two downlink data channels; and sending, by the terminal device, the one or more pieces of feedback information through a same uplink control channel. | 2021-10-28 |
20210337530 | USER EQUIPMENT ANTENNA SUBARRAY SELECTION DEPENDENT BEAM SWITCHING CAPABILITY REPORTING - Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station, an indication of a beam switching capability of the UE that is based at least in part on an antenna subarray from an antenna array of the UE, and communicate, with the base station, using the antenna subarray in accordance with the beam switching capability of the UE, based at least in part on the indication of the beam switching capability of the UE. Numerous other aspects are provided. | 2021-10-28 |
20210337531 | UE RECEIVE-TRANSMIT TIME DIFFERENCE MEASUREMENT REPORTING - A positioning method includes: measuring, at a UE, an IB PRS resource on a first frequency band; transmitting, from the UE to a recipient device, an OB PRS resource on a second frequency band; and at least one of: transmitting, from the UE based on the second frequency band being different than the first frequency band, a receive-transmit time difference indication and a band indication indicative of the second frequency band, the receive-transmit time difference indication being indicative of a difference between a time of arrival of the IB PRS resource and a time of departure of the OB PRS resource; or transmitting, from the UE based on the second frequency band being implicit, the receive-transmit time difference indication without transmitting the band indication. | 2021-10-28 |
