Described herein are systems and methods for resource block determination for multicast and broadcast transmissions. According to various embodiments, a unicast physical downlink shared channel (U-PDSCH) transmission and a group common physical downlink shared channel (GC-PDSCH) transmission are received; a resource block (RB) configuration for decoding the U-PDSCH transmission and GC-PDSCH transmission is determined, wherein the RB configuration specifies a mapping of at least one of the U-PDSCH and the GC-PDSCH to one or more RB collections; and the GC-PDSCH within a Common Frequency Resource (CFR) in decoded according to the RB configuration. According to various embodiments, the determined RB configuration includes a specification of size and location for the one or more RB collections which at least one of the U-PDSCH and the GC-PDSCH is mapped to. In various embodiments, RB collection size and location may be determined relative to CRB indexes and/or a CFR.

System and method for resource block determination for mulitcast and broadcast transmissions

A method for PUSCH repetition or PRACH aggregation. In some embodiments, the method includes transmitting, by a User Equipment (UE), in a first slot, a first Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission including a set of coded bits selected from a circular buffer of the UE based on a first redundancy version (RV); determining, by the UE, that a second slot is available for an earliest repetition of the first PUSCH transmission, the second slot being later than the slot immediately following the first slot; determining, by the UE, based on the second slot, a second redundancy version; and transmitting, by the UE, in the second slot, a second PUSCH transmission including a set of coded bits selected from the circular buffer of the UE based on the second redundancy version, the second PUSCH transmission being a repetition of the first PUSCH transmission.

PUSCH and PRACH enhancements

A system and a method in a wireless communication network are disclosed to reduce a power consumption of a Multicast and Broadcast Services (MBS) device. The device includes an interface to the wireless communication network that receives wireless communications from the wireless communication network, and a controller. The controller controls the interface to receive unicast communications in a bandwidth part (BWP) of the wireless communication network and to receive MBS communications in a common frequency resource (CFR) of the wireless communications. The controller further controls the interface by selectively receiving MBS communications in the CFR to reduce a frequency bandwidth of the interface, or a combination thereof, to reduce a power consumption of the device.

Reducing power consumption for MBS UEs

A system and method for channel access mode selection. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE), an interference measurement configuration from a network; performing, by the UE, a first interference measurement according to the interference measurement configuration; and implementing a first channel access mode. The implementing of the first channel access mode may include (i) identifying, by the UE, the first channel access mode based on the first interference measurement; or (ii) reporting, by the UE, a result of the first interference measurement, in order for the first channel access mode based on the first interference measurement to be identified.

System and method for channel access mode selection

Disclosed is a method of determining an access link beam by a repeater, including receiving, from a base station, an indication of beam indices including an indicated beam and a corresponding time to apply the indicated beam and transmitting at least one resource set using the indicated beam.

Information sharing for beam management in repeater

Disclosed is a method of transmitting a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) by a user equipment (UE) using carrier aggregation, including transmitting, over a first component carrier (CC), a first transmission using a first power and a second transmission using a third power; and transmitting, over a second CC and simultaneously with the first transmission and the second transmission over the first CC, a first transmission using a second power and a second transmission using a fourth power, wherein a sum transmission power across the first and second CCs is maintained during an entire DMRS bundling duration.

Demodulation reference signal bundling in carrier aggregation

A method of semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) release, comprising: receiving, by a user equipment (UE), one or more occasions of SPS physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) over multiple slots for a transport block (TB) according to an SPS configuration; receiving, by the UE, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including a downlink control information (DCI) format such that an end of a last symbol of the PDCCH is received before or at a same time as an end of a last symbol of a first occasion of a received SPS PDSCH; and releasing, by the UE, the SPS configuration in response to receiving the PDCCH.

Methods, systems, and devices for SPS PDSCH release

A User Equipment is disclosed that determines a default Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state in a wireless communication network in a High-Speed Train environment. The UE determines that wireless communication is being carried out in Frequency Range 2 and receives one or more Core Resource Sets (CORESETs) carrying a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) with a Downlink Control Information (DCI); that a time offset between reception by the UE of the DCI and a corresponding Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) is less than a predetermined time threshold; that the PDSCH is configured with a Single Frequency Network (SFN) scheme; that an option to enable two default TCI states for the UE is not configured; whether the PDCCH is configured with an SFN scheme; and based on a result of determining whether the PDCCH is configured with an SFN scheme, a default TCI state is determined for PDSCH reception.
