Patent ID: 11323169

Abstract:
A spatial multiplexing configuration may enable a user equipment (UE) to spatially multiplex two or more uplink channels of different types for simultaneous transmission. For example, a UE may receive an indication of a spatial multiplexing configuration from a base station. The UE may identify two or more uplink channels for simultaneous transmission on a same component carrier, where each uplink channel may be a different type. In such cases, the UE may spatially multiplex the two or more uplink channels on a same set of time/frequency resources on the component carrier in accordance with the spatial multiplexing configuration. The spatially multiplexed uplink channels may then be simultaneously transmitted by the UE on the set of resources, where the spatially multiplexed uplink channels may be simultaneously sent to the same base station or to different base stations. Additionally, different spatial parameters may be applied to each uplink channel.
