    Abstract: In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) receives, from an access node (AN), downlink control information (DCI) triggering a transmission of a sounding reference signal (SRS) of a SRS resource set. The DCI indicates a time-domain resource in available time-domain resources for transmitting the SRS resource set. The UE determines a position of the time-domain resource in the available time-domain resources based on the DCI, and transmits the SRS in accordance with the position of the time-domain resource. In another embodiment, a UE receives control information indicating a frequency resource in a carrier for transmission of one or more SRSs. The UE determines, based thereon, to segment the frequency resource into segments that each includes contiguous physical resource blocks (PRBs), and transmits a SRS in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol on a first segment and not on a second segment.

    Abstract: Example wireless communication methods and apparatus are described. One example includes receiving first configuration information of a bandwidth part (BWP) in a carrier for a serving cell by a user equipment (UE). The first configuration information includes a first group of parameters and a first resource group (RG) on the BWP in the carrier for the serving cell. The UE receives second configuration information of the BWP in the carrier, where the second configuration information includes a second group of parameters and a second RG on the BWP in the carrier. Transmission or reception associated with the first RG is performed based on the first group of parameters. Transmission or reception associated with the second RG is performed based on the second group of parameters.

    Abstract: According to embodiments, a UE receives, from a network device, a configuration of a sounding reference signals (SRS) resource with 8 antenna ports, a transmission comb configuration for the SRS resource, and a cyclic shift (CS) configuration for the SRS resource. The transmission comb configuration indicates a comb value K. K is one of 2, 4, or 8. The transmission comb configuration further indicates a configured comb offset (k). k is an integer between 0 and K−1. The CS configuration indicates CS positions. The UE maps each port of the 8 antenna ports to corresponding resource elements (REs) in the frequency domain and a corresponding CS. The corresponding REs are a subset of a plurality of REs and on every K-th RE with an offset based on the configured comb offset (k) within an SRS transmission bandwidth. The UE transmits SRSs using the 8 antenna ports based on the mapping.

    Abstract: According to various embodiments, a wireless communication device divides a plurality of transmission beams into one or more groups of transmission beams including at least a first group of transmission beams. The wireless communication device determines a first sensing beam requirement for the first group of transmission beams. The wireless communication device determines a first sensing beam and a first scale factor so that the first sensing beam satisfies the first sensing beam requirement scaled by the first scale factor. The first sensing beam is selected from a set of candidate sensing beams. The wireless communication device performs a first Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) using the first sensing beam and a first energy detection threshold (EDT), the first EDT determined in accordance with the first scale factor.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may receive first configuration information of a carrier of a serving cell, including a first association of a first group of uplink (UL) signals or channels on the carrier in the serving cell with a first UL timing advance group (TAG) of the UE, and second configuration information of the carrier including a second association of a second group of UL signals or channels on the carrier with a second UL TAG of the UE. The UE may transmit a UL signal/channel in the first group of UL signals or channels according to a TA value of the first UL TAG, and transmit a UL signal/channel in the second group of UL signals or channels according to a TA value of the second UL TAG.
