A user equipment (UE) device including an antenna, a memory, an RF circuitry commutatively coupled to the antenna, and a processor configured to perform operations is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the operations include receiving the one or more pre-configured grant (pre-CG) configurations for an RRC_INACTIVE state from a network node. The one or more pre-CG configurations are for an initial data transmission when the UE is in the RRC_INACTIVE state. The operations also include performing, while the UE is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the initial data transmission using a pre-CG resource based on the received one or more pre-CG configurations. Each of the one or more pre-CG configurations includes a configuration of the pre-CG resource and one or more conditions to use the pre-CG resource. The one or more conditions to use the pre-CG resource include one or more of an access type, a transmission priority, a mapped Logical Channel (LCH)/Dedicated Radio Bearer (DRB)/Quality of Service (QoS) flow, and a valid timing advance (TA).

A method and apparatus of a device that determines a physical downlink shared channel scheduling resource for a user equipment device and a base station is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device selects a plurality of component carriers from a pool of available component carriers associated with a wireless link established between the user equipment device and the base station. In addition, the device selects a virtual component carrier from the plurality of component carriers. Furthermore, the device determines a physical downlink shared channel scheduling resource based on at least the virtual component carrier.

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to provide beam management for beams with reduced maximum transmission power.

Beam management for emission power

Dynamic scheduling can be performed by 5G new radio in the licensed or unlicensed band. A UE can be polled by receiving a DCI that indicates dynamically updated resources. UE can be configured to find the DCI and use the resources to send a scheduling request (SR). Other aspects are described.

System and methods for dynamic scheduling in new radio with user equipment

A method and apparatus for a wireless device of reduced capabilities to access a wireless communication network targeted to operate with wireless device having higher capabilities is disclosed. The device may receive from a base station of the wireless communication network an indication of whether the type of devices that includes the wireless device of reduced capabilities is allowed to access the wireless communication network. The device may transmit to the base station signaling associated with connecting to the base station if the base station indicates that the type of devices with reduced capabilities is allowed to access the wireless communication network. The signaling allows the device to connect to the base station. The device may transmit capability information of the device to the base station. The device may configure its features based on the capability information to communicate with the base station.

Methods and apparatus for support of reduced capability devices in wireless communication

A method and apparatus of a device that handles time-varying packet size in the downlink. In some embodiments, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) comprises: receiving a first signaling comprising configuration of downlink (DL) Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS), wherein the DL SPS configuration comprises a periodicity of the DL SPS and a first indication for a first physical layer resource, and wherein the first physical layer resource is used to dynamically modify size of a second physical layer resource for SPS DL data transmission; receiving a second signaling that activates reception based on the DL SPS, wherein the second signaling comprises information to specify a boundary of the second physical layer resource; monitoring the first physical layer resource on each SPS occasion based on the periodicity to decode a second indication; determining the size of the second physical layer resource for SPS DL data transmission, based on the second indication; and receiving data on the second physical layer resource determined for each SPS occasion based on the determined size.
