MULTIPLEXING OF PUCCH FOR BEAM FAILURE RECOVERY AND OTHER SIGNALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240113762 titled 'MULTIPLEXING OF PUCCH FOR BEAM FAILURE RECOVERY AND OTHER SIGNALS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes apparatuses, systems, and methods for multiplexing of PUCCH for beam failure recovery and other signals. A UE may determine transmission dropping and power scaling rules for a PUCCH dedicated to secondary BFR transmission when multiplexed with other signals. The UE may drop lower priority signals to avoid beam collisions and scale transmission power within and across component carriers.

  • PUCCH multiplexing for beam failure recovery and other signals

Original Abstract Submitted

apparatuses, systems, and methods for multiplexing of pucch for beam failure recovery and other signals. a ue may determine a transmission dropping rule and a transmission power scaling rule for a pucch which is dedicatedly configured for secondary bfr transmission, such as a pucch-bfr, when it is multiplexed with at least one other signal. the pucch-bfr and the at least one other signal may be multiplexed in a cc or in multiple ccs. the ue may determine a transmission dropping rule, e.g., so that ue can transmit an uplink signals with higher priority and drop the other uplink signal with lower priority to avoid beam collisions. the ue may determine a transmission power scaling rule, e.g., so the ue may scale transmission power within a cc and/or across ccs. the ue may multiplex the pucch-bfr with the at least one other signal according to the rules.
