Embodiments described herein include methods, systems, and apparatuses for allowing a user equipment (UE) that supports dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) with uplink (UL)-shift to access a cell and barring UEs that do not support DSS with UL-shift. Embodiments may use a cell barring field in a master information block and additional filters to indicate a barring state for a network node.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for handling dynamic spectrum sharing with uplink subcarrier shift

A wireless user equipment (UE) device may transmit a random access preamble to a base station, using a physical resource on an uplink signal. After failing to receive an initial transmission of a response message from the base station (BS), the UE device may monitor for one or more retransmissions of the response message. Each of the retransmission may include a corresponding transmission number. As an alternative, each of the retransmissions may be at least partially scrambled using a corresponding Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI). As another alternative, a window for monitoring and RNTI calculation may be extended to include the one or more retransmissions. The successive retransmissions may include the same set of UE-specific payloads, or, a decreasing set of payloads over time as UE devices acknowledge successful receipt of their respective payloads.

Retransmission of MsgB in two-step random access procedure

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for UE aggregation for downlink communications in wireless networks.

User equipment aggregation for downlink communications

A user equipment (UE) includes a transceiver and a processor that is configured to identify a plurality of flows corresponding to data to be sent in an uplink (UL) direction. The processor is also configured to map a subset of the plurality of flows to a logical channel (LCH) of a plurality of LCHs. The processor is further configured to multiplex two or more scheduling requests (SRs) into an integrated SR for requesting one or more physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources corresponding to each flow of the subset of the plurality of flows of at least one LCH of the plurality of LCHs. Each SR included in the integrated SR corresponds to an SR for the data associated with at least one flow of the subset of the plurality of flows.

Scheduling request (SR) enhancements for 5G real-time extended reality (XR) services

A user equipment (UE) associated with a wireless communication network is disclosed. The UE comprises one or more processors configured to form a sidelink group with one or more other UEs associated with the wireless communication network. In some aspects, the one or more processors are further configured to receive a sidelink (SL) groupcast message from a select UE of the one or more other UEs of the sidelink group, the SL groupcast message comprising a SL channel state information (CSI) request and a transmission of a SL channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). In some aspects, the one or more processors are further configured to process the SL groupcast message; and selectively provide an SL CSI report derived based on a measured SL CSI, to the select UE, in response to processing the SL groupcast message.

Sidelink feedback enhancement

Performing a UE-triggered lower layer-based handover may include performing measurements of source gNB CSI-RS samples associated with a source gNB. Measurements of target gNB CSI-RS samples associated with a target gNB may be performed, wherein the CSI-RS samples associated with the source gNB and the CSI-RS samples associated with the target gNB are transmitted in a burst structure. A subset of the source gNB CSI-RS samples and the target gNB CSI-RS samples may be filtered using a layer 1 or a layer 2 filter. A filtered result for each of the subset of source gNB CSI-RS samples and the subset of target gNB CSI-RS samples may be generated. Based on the generated filtered result for each of the subset of source gNB CSI-RS samples and the subset of target gNB CSI-RS samples, determining whether a handover from the source gNB to the target gNB is to occur.

Generating filtered results in user equipment-triggered lower layer-based handover

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for partial sensing for resource selection, reevaluation, and preemption. In some embodiments: a UE receives configuration information for a resource pool; determines a type of traffic to be transmitted by the UE, the type to include aperiodic traffic or periodic traffic; determines, based on the configuration information and traffic type, first and second values to define a window for contiguous partial sensing; and performs contiguous partial sensing within the window.

Partial sensing for resource selection, reevaluation, and preemption

A multi-universal subscriber identity module (MUSIM) user equipment (UE) is configured to stay synchronized with a network. The UE registers to a first network for the first SIM, registering to a second network for the second SIM, prior to the UE conducting a high priority activity related to the second SIM, sends, to the first network via a connection associated with the first SIM, a first message comprising an estimated time duration during which the UE conducts the high priority activity related to the second SIM, receives, from the first network, a second message indicating a time period during which the first network will retain a connection context for the connection associated with the first SIM in an RRC Inactive state and when the UE completes the high priority activity, determines the connection context of the first network for the connection associated with the first SIM.

Synchronization of RRC status of a multi-SIM user equipment with a base station

A user equipment (UE) is connected to a wireless network and operates in a carrier aggregation (CA) state that includes a first connection to a primary cell and a second connection to a secondary cell. The UE determines a beam failure has occurred for one of the first connection or the second connection and initiates a beam failure recovery (BFR) operation. The BFR operation includes transmitting, to the primary cell, a BFR Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE).

Systems for in-coverage sidelink positioning

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to discontinuous reception (DRX) transmission. Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a solution for DRX configurations for point-to-point (PTP) and/or point-to-multipoint (PTM) transmissions. In this solution, a user equipment (UE) maintains separate DRX configurations for PTP transmissions and PTM transmissions. During active time for the PTP transmissions, the UE monitors physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with a UE specific identifier. The UE monitors PDCCH with a PTM transmission specific identifier during active time for the PTM transmissions. In this way, it can match the MBS service quality mechanism. Moreover, it also saves power at the UE.

Discontinuous reception transmission

A base station (BS) comprising a processor configured to perform operations is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the operations include receiving an initial data from a UE is in a RRC_INACTIVE while the UE does not transition from the RRC_INACTIVE state to a RRC_CONNECTED state. In addition, the operations include transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for a UE dedicated scheduling for a transmission or reception of a subsequent data during an active period, while the UE is in the RRC INACTIVE state. Furthermore, the operations include receiving or transmitting the subsequent data transmission based on the dedicated scheduling. The operations additionally include transmitting one or more configurations for the transmission or reception of the subsequent data. The one or more configurations is transmitted as part of the RRC release message. The one or more configurations is transmitted as part of a System Information Block (SIB).
