Disclosed are enhancements for a Mode 2 TPMI list indication, including TPMI capability reporting design, TPMI list enhancement for four-port partial coherent UE, and TPMI list enhancement for four-port non-coherent UE.

Full power transmission mode 2 TPMI list signaling enhancement

Techniques, described herein, include solutions for enabling a base station and user equipment (UE) to use low beam (e.g., frequency range 1 (FR1)) communications to determine a line-of-sight (LOS) status of a beam between the base station and the UE, and use the LOS status to establish or maintain a link or channel using a high beam (e.g., frequency range 2 (FR2)).

Systems, methods, and devices for enhanced beam selection

A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive a system information block (SIB) from a base station and transmit an indication of a reduced capability (redcap) device type to the base station during a random access procedure, wherein the indication is associated with a UE configuration comprising one or more UE complexity reduction features.

Enhancements for reduced capability new radio devices

Systems and methods provide for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring adaptation. A user equipment (UE) may monitor a default search space set group (SSSG) for downlink control information (DCI) from a base station in the PDCCH. In response to a first DCI trigger, the UE switches from monitoring the default SSSG to monitoring a first non-default SSSG associated with a first timer. In response to a second DCI trigger, the UE switches from monitoring the first non-default SSSG to monitoring a second non-default SSSG associated with a second timer. The first non-default SSSG may be a non-empty SSSG including a search space set with at least one associated search space. The second non-default SSSG may be an empty SSSG with no associated search space to emulate PDCCH skipping.

Methods and apparatus for signaling and state transition for PDCCH skipping and SSSG switching

A wireless network may include a base station and user equipment (UE). The UE may transmit uplink (UL) signals to the base station using a dynamically adjustable maximum UL duty cycle. When the UE identifies that a user is in proximity to the UE, the UE may transmit an indicator to the base station. The indicator may identify that a radio-frequency exposure (RFE) event has occurred and/or a suggested maximum UL duty cycle that would allow the UE to satisfy limits on RFE. The base station may limit a UL grant to the UE so that the UE performs subsequent communications using the suggested maximum UL duty cycle or a different maximum UL duty cycle. Coordinating adjustment of UL duty cycle in this way may allow the UE to meet limits on RFE without requiring the UE to perform maximum transmit power level reductions.

Systems and methods for controlling uplink duty cycle

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for configuring an uplink gap for a 5G NR user equipment.

Systems and methods for uplink gap configuration for transceiver calibration and transmit power management

Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for a use equipment (UE) to determine, based on a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, a sensing beam to wirelessly communicate with a base station over a channel in an unlicensed spectrum. The UE can receive, using a receiving beam, control information including a TCI state, determine a sensing beam indicated by the TCI state included in the control information, sense a channel occupancy of the channel between the UE and the base station by performing Clear Channel Assessment using the sensing beam. Furthermore, the UE can determine, based on the channel occupancy, whether the channel is free to be utilized for communication by the UE using the sensing beam.

Sensing beam determination in unlicensed spectrum

Beam failure recovery (BFR) in a multiple Downlink Control Information (mDCI) mode may include receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a Downlink Reference Signal (DL RS) set from a next generation Node B (gNB). The DL RS set may be associated with a link between the UE and the gNB and indicate beam failure detection (BFD) is to be performed for the link. The BFR may further include performing, by the UE, a beam failure detection (BFD) for the link using the DL RS set, and performing, by the UE, a candidate beam detection (CBD) for the link, the CBD determining a candidate beam for the link by determining a beam having a reference signal receiving power (RSRP) that is larger than an RSRP threshold. The BFR may further include transmitting, by the UE, a beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) indicating the link to the gNB.

Systems and methods for beam failure recovery for multi-DCI mode

A user equipment (UE) is connected to a special cell (SpCell) that is configured to schedule the SpCell and a secondary cell (SCell) that is configured to schedule the SpCell. The UE determines a number of blind decodes (BDs) and a number of control channel elements (CCEs) that may be configured for the SpCell and monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the SpCell that is transmitted by the SpCell and DCI scheduling the SpCell that is transmitted by the SCell.

Enabling multiple cells to schedule a special cell

Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing a beam pairing procedure between a transmission UE and a receiver UE. The transmission UE and the receiver UE can configure a set of beam patterns to be used in the beam pairing procedure. The set of beam patterns can include one or more transmission beams of the UE, and one or more receiving beams of the receiver UE. The transmission UE can transmit one or more sidelink reference signals to the receiver UE, and the receiver UE can perform signal strength measurements of the one or more sidelink reference signals. Based on the signal strength measurements, either the transmission UE or the receiver UE can make the selection of the transmission beam and the corresponding receiving beam for the beam pairing procedure.

Mechanisms for user equipment beam pairing on sidelink communication

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods providing transmission power controls in support of expanding a network coverage. In an example, a device is configured to expand the network coverage and establishes multiple wireless links between a base station and a user equipment (UE). The device can be network-controlled, whereby such controls can include adjusting the transmission power used by the device to transmit on at least one of such wireless links.

Power control for transmission on one or more links

Systems and methods for associating phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) and demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports for multi-beam physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions are described herein. A base station may provide, to a user equipment (UE), PTRS and DMRS port associations for the multiple beams on which the PUSCH is transmitted. In some cases, a 2-bit downlink control information (DCI) field may be used to alternatively provide single beam or multiple beam PTRS and DMRS port associations to a UE. For non-codebook (NCB) based transmissions, the UE may alternatively determine PTRS and DMRS port associations for multiple beams independently of any PTRS and DMRS port association indicated in DCI.

Systems and methods for PTRS and DMRS port association for transmission of PUSCH on multiple beams

Techniques, described herein, include solutions for enabling PC parameters and beam selection regarding mixed traffic, including a PC parameter set selection based on unified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, reporting power headroom (PHR) based on PC parameter sets, and beam selection based on traffic types associated with different TCI states.

Systems, methods, and devices for power control and beam selection in mixed traffic

A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive from a base station a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions wherein multiple PDSCHs are transmitted within a single period of the SPS, the SPS configuration including a parameter for a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes associated with the SPS configuration, receive from the base station a downlink control information (DCI) transmission for activating the SPS configuration, the DCI including a HARQ process ID for one of the PDSCH transmissions in the SPS configuration, wherein the UE determines a maximum number of PDSCH transmissions allowed within the single period based on the parameter for the number of HARQ processes associated with the SPS configuration, validate the DCI to determine time domain resources to use for the PDSCH transmission and receive from the base station the multiple PDSCH transmissions within the single SPS period.

Configured grant operations for multiple PUSCH

An approach to providing an indication of the availability of tracking reference signal (TRS) and/or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) occasions. Channels for carrying the indication include system information block (SIB) signaling, paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and paging early indications. Various approaches are described that provide the information, including a number of bitmap approaches, a hierarchical informational approach, a dynamic signal indication that carries configuration indices. Additional approaches are described that reduce unnecessary overhead by specifying certain reference signal (RS) occasions as being available.
