Patent ID: 11888610
Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A user equipment (UE) configured for wireless communications with a New Radio (NR) network, the UE comprising:
a wireless transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with network entities in a wireless communication system;
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the wireless transceiver and the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive, from an entity in the NR network via the wireless transceiver, an NR signal comprising Long Term Evolution (LTE) positioning reference signal (PRS) rate matching information for dynamic LTE PRS transmitted by a first base station in an LTE network in one or more frequency bands shared by the NR network using dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS), wherein the LTE PRS rate matching information comprises an LTE PRS rate matching pattern;
receive, via the wireless transceiver, NR data signals and control signals transmitted by a second base station in the NR network and the dynamic LTE PRS transmitted by the first base station in the LTE network on the one or more frequency bands; and
decode and process the NR data signals and control signals from the second base station in the NR network, wherein, to decode and process the NR data signals and control signals from the second base station in the NR network, the at least one processor is configured to rate match around the dynamic LTE PRS in accordance with the LTE PRS rate matching information, wherein, to rate match around the dynamic LTE PRS in accordance with the LTE PRS rate matching information, the at least one processor is configured to apply the LTE PRS rate matching pattern to the NR data signals and control signals to receive NR data.
