A generation node B (gNB) configured for aperiodic channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) triggering and transmission may encode signalling for transmission to a user equipment (UE). The signalling to indicate an aperiodic Triggering Offset (aperiodicTriggeringOffset). The aperiodic Triggering Offset may comprise a slot offset. The gNB may encode a downlink control information (DCI) for transmission that may trigger transmission of a CSI-RS in one or more aperiodic CSI-RS resource set(s) (i.e., in one or more slots (n)). The DCI triggers transmission of the aperiodic CSI-RS within a triggered slot with the slot offset (i.e., the aperiodic TriggeringOffset). The gNB may transmit the CSI-RS in resource elements of the triggered slot in accordance with the slot offset, when CSI-RS resources are available in the slot at the slot offset. The gNB may postpone transmission of the aperiodically triggered CSI-RS to a first available downlink slot when the CSI-RS resources are not available in the triggered slot at the slot offset.

The processor circuitry is configured to process a hybrid automatic repeat and request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) assessment information for inclusion in a subframe on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) following the UE processing time and the additional processing time. The radio front end circuitry is configured to receive the first and the second PDSCH transmissions from a base station, and transmit the HARQ-ACK assessment information on the PUCCH to the base station.

User equipment processing time relaxation for multi-DCI NC-JT PDSCH reception

Embodiments are directed to beam switching. An embodiment of a user equipment (UE) comprises a processor to configure the UE to receive, one or more repetitions of a transport block (TB) using a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) beam, obtain a downlink control information (DCI) comprising one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, and configure the UE to switch from the first PDSCH beam to a second PDSCH beam, different from the first PDSCH beam, based at least in part on the one or more TCI states.

Technologies for beam switching to receive downlink repetitions

A service device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component or network management component) can process or generate a Downlink Control Information (DCI) that schedules a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission in a PUSCH. The PUSCH transmission can be generated based on a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) according to a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform in uplink. A sequence of the DMRS can be generated based on a Gold sequence and a Pi/2 Binary Phase-Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation.

Random DMRS sequence generation in NR uplink

Various embodiments herein are directed to set physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) default beam behavior for single transmission-reception point (TRP), single downlink control information (DCI) multi-TRP and multi-DCI multi-TRP operation, as well as physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) prioritization based on quasi-colocation (QCL) Type-D for multi-panel reception and single panel reception.

Default PDSCH beam setting and PDCCH prioritization for multi panel reception

A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode control information of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) received via a resource within a control resource set (CORESET) occupying a subset of a plurality of OFDM symbols within a slot. At least one of the symbols in the subset coincides with a pre-defined symbol location associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) of a PDSCII. The DM-RS can be detected within the slot, the DM-RS starting at a symbol location that is shifted from the pre-defined symbol location and following the subset of symbols. Downlink data scheduled by the PDCCH and received via the PDSCH can be decoded, where the decoding is based on the detected DM-RS.

Collision handling of reference signals

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for mapping transmission configuration indication (TCI) states to demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports groups in a wireless network. For instance, a TCI state to DMRS ports group mapping of a user equipment (UE) can be determined. Each DMRS port in a DMRS ports group shares a quasi-co-location (QCL) assumption. The TCI state to DMRS ports group mapping comprises multiple TCI state groups. The TCI state to DMRS ports group mapping corresponds each TCI state group to one or more DMRS ports groups. A TCI state group from the DMRS ports group mapping can be selected for the UE. Data indicative of the selected TCI state group and the corresponding one or more DMRS ports groups can be provided to the UE based at least in part on the TCI state group from the DMRS ports group mapping.

The gNB may generate signalling to configure a user equipment (UE) with a gap between demodulation reference signal (DMRS) symbols for an associated physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The gNB may also encode the DMRS symbols for transmission in accordance with the gap and may encode the associated PDSCH for transmission during the gap between the DMRS symbol transmissions at symbol times following the DMRS symbols.

The technique further includes transmitting a first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) message and a second HARQ-ACK message based on the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH in accordance with a first processing time parameter and a second processing time parameter, respectively. The first processing time parameter can be based on a PDSCH mapping type, a processing capability of the UE, and one or more timing characteristics of the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH.
