Patent ID: 11350452

Abstract:
A transmitting device (e.g., a base station, a user equipment (UE)) may pre-generate waveform components, for a transmission to be sent subsequent to a listen before talk (LBT) procedure, based on a waveform generation capability of the transmitting device (e.g., based on their memory storage capability, their ability to combine waveform components in the time domain following a per subband LBT procedure, etc.). Further, certain behavior or rules (e.g., which waveform components are generated, how many subbands are included in a waveform component, etc.) may be expected by both a base station and a UE depending on the waveform generation capability of the transmitting device and the resource allocation. Additionally, resource block group (RBG) configurations (e.g., RBG definitions) for improved resource allocation are also described. A bases station may indicate one or more guard band boundaries to a UE to indicate such RBG configurations that account for guard bands.
