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

Various manners of reporting channel state information (CSI) measurements in a multiple transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) configuration are provided. A UE may perform channel state information (CSI) measurements for a channel measurement resource (CMR) for the first gNB and at least one interference measurement resource (IMR) for the at least one second gNB, determine a configuration for a CSI report for the CSI measurements including a channel quality indicator (CQI) measurement for the CMR and the at least one IMR and transmit the CSI report to at least one of the first gNB and the at least one second gNB.

Channel state information report for multi-TRP operation

Enhanced channel state information (CSI) reporting may include encoding a CSI reporting configuration associated with a first transmission and reception point (TRP) and a second TRP. The CSI reporting configuration may include at least one codebook configuration. The at least one codebook may include at least one of a rank restriction configuration or a codebook subset restriction (CBSR) configuration. The at least one of the rank restriction configuration or the CBSR configuration may correspond to at least one of a particular type of TRP measurement, a particular TRP of the first TRP or the second TRP, or channel measurement resources (CMRs) associated with at least one of the first TRP or the second TRP. A CSI measurement communication received from a user equipment (UE) may be decoded. The CSI measurement communication may be based on the decoded CSI reporting configuration.

Enhanced CSI reporting for multi-TRP operation

A method for operating user equipment (UE) includes generating, by the UE, a transmit precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) list including one or more TPMIs selected from a set of available TPMIs stored at a base station (BS). Data indicative of the TPMI list is transmitted to the BS. An index of the TPMI list is transmitted to the BS. Downlink control information (DCI) is received from the BS including an indication of at least one TPMI from the TPMI list based on the index. Uplink data is transmitted to the BS on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using the at least one TPMI.

Full power uplink transmission enhancement

Systems and methods for improving the robustness of a DCI triggered beam update in 5G NR are disclosed herein. A g Node B (gNB) may associate a reference signal to a beam pattern (or beam configuration) and prepare Downlink Control Information (DCI) of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) that includes aperiodic Channel-State Information Reference Signal (AP CSI-RS) information indicating the beam pattern. A user equipment (UE) may decode the DCI, extract the AP CSI-RS information, update the beam pattern of a reference signal based on the AP CSI-RS information, and generate an uplink (UL) feedback message indicating that the PDCCH was successfully decoded by the UE. The gNB may then decode the uplink (UL) feedback message and, in response, update a receive (RX) beam of the gNB to correspond to the beam pattern associated to the reference signal.

Methods of improving the robustness for DCI triggered beam update in 5G NR

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

Devices, systems and methods for a fifth generation (5G) or new radio (NR) system comprising determining a configuration for an uplink (UL) transmission resource with respect to a listen before talk (LBT) operation on an unlicensed spectrum and transmitting uplink control information (UCI) on the UL transmission resource based on the configuration subjected to the LBT operation.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device and a cellular base station to support common analog beam steering for band groups. The wireless device may provide an indication of analog beam steering capability of the wireless device to the cellular base station. For example, the wireless device may support a limited number of analog beams for each of one or more band groups. The cellular base station may select beam configuration information for the wireless device based at least in part on the indication of analog beam steering capability of the wireless device. This may include selecting a common beam for multiple component carriers for the wireless device based on the wireless device's analog beam steering capability. The cellular base station may provide the beam configuration information to the wireless device.

Common analog beam steering for band groups

Described is an apparatus of a User Equipment (UE). The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to process one or more configuration transmissions from the gNB carrying a rule for Uplink (UL) collisions and process a first Downlink (DL) transmission and a second DL transmission. The second circuitry may be operable to identify a first UL transmission for the first DL transmission and a second UL transmission for the second DL transmission, the first UL transmission overlapping with the second UL transmission in at least one Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol. The third circuitry may be operable to generate at least one of the first UL transmission and the second UL transmission in accordance with the rule for UL collisions.

Handling collision for mini-slot-based and slot-based transmission

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. SSB based inter-frequency measurements may include configuring a UE to perform inter-frequency measurements without measurement gap within a measurement window, and applying scheduling restrictions to prioritize the inter-frequency measurements over uplink transmissions within the measurement window. The measurement window includes an SMTC window duration. Measurement resource sharing or restriction is described for SSB based inter-frequency measurement objects without measurement gap.

Methods and apparatus for scheduling availability/restriction and measurement sharing for SSB based inter-frequency measurement without measurement gap

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

To extend a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in wireless communications, an extended physical broadcast channel (EPBCH) transmission is generated with one or more legacy PBCH blocks and one or more EPBCH blocks within an extension window. A size of the extension window is determined based at least in part on a PBCH repetition number and a number of the legacy PBCH blocks relative to a number of the EPBCH blocks. The EPBCH transmission is transmitted by a base station (BS) to one or more user equipment (UE).

Physical broadcast channel extension in wireless communications

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.

Systems and methods for beam failure recovery enhancement

A user equipment (UE) reports beam management information to a network. The UE receives a first group of multiple reference signals from a first transmission reception point (TRP) of a network, receives a second group of multiple reference signals from a second different TRP of the network, selects a first beam associated with one of the multiple reference signals of the first group, selects a second beam associated with one of the multiple reference signals of the second group and transmits a message to the network, the message including an indication of the selected first beam and second beam.
