| 20210410170 | USER TERMINAL AND RADIO COMMUNICATION METHOD - A user terminal is disclosed including a receiving section receiving a plurality of PDSCHs (Physical Downlink Shared Channels), and a control section assuming that when a time offset between reception of corresponding downlink control information and reception of the PDSCH is smaller than a certain threshold value for each PDSCH, demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports of PDSCH of a serving cell are quasi co-located with reference signal(s) in a TCI (Transmission Configuration Indication) state with respect to QCL parameter(s) used for QCL (Quasi-Co-Location) indication for PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) of a lowest CORESET-ID of a certain panel ID (Identifier) in a latest slot in which one or more CORESETs (COntrol REsource SETs) within an active BWP (Bandwidth Part) of the serving cell are configured in the user terminal. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, DL communication can be preferably performed even when a multi-panel/TRP is used. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210410171 | PDCCH MONITORING METHOD, APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - The present application relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a PDCCH monitoring method, apparatus, electronic device and computer readable storage medium. The PDCCH monitoring method includes: determining PDCCH monitoring configuration on a target active downlink bandwidth part (BWP), after a current active downlink BWP is switched to the target active downlink BWP; performing a monitoring process on the PDCCH based on the PDCCH monitoring configuration on the target active downlink BWP. The present application achieves effective monitoring of the PDCCH on the switched active downlink BWP, saves power consumption of the UE, and ensures timely transmission of data. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210410172 | SPATIAL FILTERS IN FULL DUPLEX MODE - Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station in a full duplex mode, a first downlink transmission associated with a spatial filter. The UE may decode the first downlink transmission according to a default transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state that indicates the spatial filter. The default TCI state may be based at least in part on a first active TCI state for the full duplex mode. Numerous other aspects are provided. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210410173 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GRANT-FREE UPLINK TRANSMISSIONS - Systems and methods are disclosed for performing combined grant-free and grant-based UL resource allocation. In a particular embodiment, a network entity sends a first type of UL transmission resource assignment selected from two types of UL transmission resource assignment mechanisms to a UE for grant-free transmission and a second type of UL transmission resource assignment from two types of UL transmission resource assignment mechanism to a UE for grant based transmission. The network entity then receives a first data transmission from the UE for grant free transmission using an assigned transmission resource and a second data transmission from the UE for grant based transmission using an assigned transmission resources. Other embodiments pertain to changing the resource allocation scheme from grant free to grant based for a UE, or vice versa. Examples reasons for doing so may include HARQ re-transmissions. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210410174 | METHODS FOR DATA TRANSMISSION AND USER EQUIPMENT - Method for data transmissions and a user equipment (UE) are provided. A method includes the following. A UE receives first downlink control information (DCI), where the first DCI is used for scheduling a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the first DCI includes a first information field, a value of the first information field includes a specific value or a non-specific value, and the specific value indicates that ACK/NACK information corresponding to the first PDSCH is transmitted according to a later trigger signal. A value or a value range of an identity (ID) of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process corresponding to a second PDSCH received after reception of the first PDSCH is determined according to the value of the first information field by the UE. | 2021-12-30 |
