Patent ID: 11716610

Abstract:
Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for wideband uplink control channel capability indication during initial access are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) may transmit an uplink message indicating an uplink resource bandwidth capability of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) of the UE based on a power spectral density (PSD) limitation and a maximum transmission power of the UE. The UE may receive a downlink message indicating an uplink resource allocation of the PUCCH corresponding to the uplink resource bandwidth capability. Alternatively, the UE may receive a downlink configuration that indicates a first set of uplink resources and a second set of uplink resources. The UE may transmit an acknowledgment message in response to a downlink message of a random access channel process. The acknowledgment message includes the uplink resource bandwidth capability that indicates a selection between the first set of uplink resources and the second set of uplink resources.
