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

Some aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for performing handover, radio link monitoring (RLM), beam failure detection (BFD), and candidate beam detection (CBD) within the unlicensed spectrum when a listen-before-talk (LBT) failure occurs and/or when a user equipment (UE) performs receiving (RX) beam sweeping. For example, a UE is configured to receive a handover command to connect to a target cell. The UE is further configured to determine a search time and an interruption time uncertainty during a handover procedure initiated by the handover command and in response to a LBT failure or the UE performing a beam sweeping operation. The UE can further determine a handover delay based on the search time and the interruption time uncertainty. In response to a time period for performing the handover procedure exceeding the handover delay, the UE can cease the handover procedure.

Radio (NR) handover, radio link monitoring (RLM), beam failure detection (BFD), and candidate beam detection (CBD) with clear channel assessment (CCA)

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to provide intra-frequency measurement enhancement in new radio high speed train.

Intra-frequency measurement enhancement in new radio high speed train

Methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed for compensating for cell identification delays that are beyond the control of the UE, in connection with standards-specified cell identification timing limits. In frequency bands including both beam sweeping and listen-before-talk (LBT) requirements, a cell identification procedure may be significantly delayed due to LBT failure at the base station and/or beam misalignment between the base station and the UE. Therefore, UE cell identification timing constraints may be dynamically adjusted to compensate for such delays. For example, the time window allowed for cell identification of a neighbor cell may be dynamically increased in response to determining that one or more SSBs were not available at the UE during an SMTC occasion. In some scenarios, if the timing increase exceeds a predetermined threshold, the UE may restart the cell identification procedure, e.g., on the same frequency layer or on a different frequency layer.

Synchronization signal block measurements with clear channel assessment for 60GHz range

A user equipment (UE) may support concurrent synchronization signal block (SSB) inter-frequency measurement without a measurement gap (MG). The UE may also, or alternatively, support concurrent SSB inter-frequency measurement in intra-band scenarios (e.g., where a target inter-frequency cell and serving cell are on the same band) and/or inter-band scenarios (e.g., where a target inter-frequency cell and serving cell are on the same band). The UE may report concurrent SSB based inter-frequency measurement as a NEEDFORGAP information element (IE), which may include one or more of a variety of parameters regarding UE measurement capabilities. Scheduling restrictions (e.g., restrictions to downlink and uplink communications) are also enabled based on UE measurement capabilities, including scheduling restriction for frequency range 1 (FR1), frequency range 2 (FR2), and cross frequency range scenarios.

Systems, methods, and devices for scheduling restrictions based on needforgap capabilities of user equipment

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for NCSG-based measurement on deactivated serving cells. In a wireless communication system, a wireless device can acquire a measurement gap (MG) configuration scheduling measurement operation for at least one deactivated serving cell based on network-controlled small gap (NCSG), and perform the measurement operation based on the network-controlled small gap (NCSG) in accordance with the measurement gap configuration.

NCSG for deactivated serving cell measurement

Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE), comprising performing, based on acquired information, in at least one of an idle mode and an inactive mode, at least one of an intra-frequency neighbor cell measurement and an inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement. The acquired information comprises at least one of a group of a periodicity of synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB)-based measurement timing configuration (SMTC) and a periodicity of SMTC2-long periodicity (SMTC2-LP) and a physical cell identifier (PCI) list of SMTC2-LP.

SMTC2-LP based RRM enhancement

Techniques described herein include solutions for enabling NR sidelink (SL) communications by using radio resource control (RRC) to provide ser equipment (UEs) with grant configuration (CGs) for unidirectional and/or bidirectional SL communications. These techniques also include solutions for UEs to obtain channel occupation times (COTs) for SL communications, and procedures for sharing COTs with other UEs, and procedures for CG uplink control information (UCI) of physical uplink shared channels (PUSCH) transmissions for NR in the unlicensed spectrum (NR-U). The techniques described herein also include solutions for channel state information (CSI) feedback for CGs of SL in the unlicensed spectrum (CG-Sidelink-U). Also described herein are SL techniques for transmission power control of SL communications and clear channel assessment (CCA) procedures.

Systems, methods, and devices for NR sidelink in the unlicensed spectrum

In an example method, a user equipment (UE) device receives a slot of data from a base station (BS). The UE device determines a quality of a wireless channel between the BS to the UE device, including determining (i) a metric for a interval extending from a sequentially first symbol of the slot of data to a symbol immediately preceding the first subset of symbols, (ii) a metric for an interval extending from the sequentially first symbol of the slot of data to a sequentially last symbol of the first subset of symbols, (iii) a metric for an interval extending from the sequentially first symbol of the slot of data to a symbol immediately preceding the second subset of symbols, and/or (iv) a metric for an interval extending from the sequentially first symbol of the slot of data to a sequentially last symbol of the second subset of symbols.

Technologies in multi-PDSCH transmission in a wireless network

A user equipment (UE) is configured to perform channel estimation. The UE operates in a current channel estimation mode comprising either one of a first mode or a second mode, wherein the first mode comprises receiving first reference signals (RS) having a first RS overhead and wherein the second mode comprises receiving second reference signals (RS) having a second RS overhead, receives a network indication to switch from the current channel estimation mode to a new channel estimation mode comprising the other one of the first mode or second mode, transmits an acknowledgment to the network that the network indication was received and switches from the current channel estimation mode to the new channel estimation mode in accordance with the network indication.

Channel estimation using artificial intelligence

Systems and methods provide a channel state information (CSI) measurement based on measuring a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission. A user equipment (UE) triggers measuring of a CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) from a base station. The UE triggers measuring of a DMRS for a PDSCH transmission from the base station. The UE generates a CSI report to report the CSI measurement, based on both the CSI-RS and the DMRS for the PDSCH transmission. The UE may then send the CSI report to report the CSI measurement to the base station.

Systems and methods for PDSCH based CSI measurement

A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive a measurement configuration from a serving cell, wherein the measurement configuration comprises event configuration associated with radio resource management (RRM) relaxation, perform measurements of the serving cell, transmit a measurement report to the serving cell and receive an indication from the serving cell that RRM relaxation for radio resource control (RRC) connected mode is enabled at the UE.

Radio resource management relaxation for radio resource control connected mode

Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE), comprising: performing, based on a command for a handover (HO) with a primary secondary cell (PSCell), an HO of a target primary cell (PCell) and an addition of a target PSCell; and adjusting a radio frequency (RF) for the HO of the target PCell according to a reference signal (RS) occasion for the HO of the target PCell, and an RF for the addition of the target PSCell according to an RS occasion for the addition of the target PSCell.

Technologies for handover procedures

A user equipment (UE) reports channel state information for multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) to a network. The UE collects channel state information (CSI) corresponding to multiple transmission reception points (TRPs), receives a signal configured to trigger a semi-persistent CSI (SP-CSI) report from a first TRP of the multiple TRPs, generates a SP-CSI report that includes CSI corresponding to each TRP of the multiple TRPs and transmits the SP-CSI report to a cell associated with the multiple TRPs.

Reporting channel state information for multi-TRP operation

Systems and methods for beam failure recovery (BFR) are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) receives downlink (DL) reference signal(s) on corresponding beam(s) from a base station. The UE performs beam failure detection (BFD) on such beams used for user data to determine whether a beam failure has occurred, and candidate beam detection (CBD) on such beams not used for user data to identify candidate beams for recovering from the beam failure. The BFD and the CBD are based on both uplink (UL) channel performance considerations and DL channel performance considerations, as determined using the DL reference signal(s), such that a beam failure may be determined in the UL, the DL, or both, and a candidate beam may be identified for UL, DL, or both. The UE sends a beam failure recovery request BFRQ with this information to the base station, and the system changes beams accordingly.
