Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for supporting multiple discontinuous reception configurations in a carrier aggregation scenario in a wireless communication system. An indication that a wireless device supports multiple discontinuous reception configurations for carrier aggregation operation may be provided by the wireless device to a cellular base station. Configuration information for carrier aggregation operation may be received by the wireless device from the cellular base station. The configuration information may include separate discontinuous reception configurations for each of multiple cell groups.

Abstract: A user equipment device may determine whether to power down one or more components based at least on a scheduling parameter that includes an indication of cross-slot scheduling. The device may power down the one or more components prior to decoding control information during a slot for which the scheduling parameter indicates that cross-slot scheduling is in place.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform methods for triggering a change in beam configuration based on UL beam conditions. The UE may detect an unsafe UL beam condition for an UL beam based, at least in part, on an MPE level being exceeded by the UL beam. In response to the detection, remedial actions that to alleviate the unsafe UL beam condition may be performed. The remedial actions may prioritize UL beam quality over DL beam quality and may include reducing a transmit power of the UL beam based on an MPR, triggering an intra-panel antenna switch to a candidate UL beam that satisfies one or more conditions for intra-panel beam switching, triggering an inter-panel antenna switch to a candidate UL beam that satisfies one or more conditions for intra-panel beam switching, and/or signaling a beam failure to a network serving the UE.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for selecting channel access mechanisms in wireless communications, and particularly in 3GPP NR-U. For example, an appropriate listen-before talk (LBT) channel access category (Cat) may be defined for certain messages, such as certain DL and/or UL control messages and certain RACH messages. For other messages, an appropriate Cat may be signaled by the base station, e.g., in a DCI message or SIB. Mechanisms are provided for the base station to signal to the UE certain channel access profile parameters, such as an appropriate LBT Cat, CAPC, and/or CP extension. Mechanisms are also provided for adjustment of contention window duration.

Abstract: A base station and wireless communication (UE) may perform type II CSI-RS port selection based at least on partial reciprocity between an uplink path and a downlink path between the base station and the UE. The base station may identify dominant signal paths between the base station and the UE, based on measurements performed during uplink transmissions, and may transmit, to the UE, corresponding information indicative of CSI measurement and reporting configuration that may include a single measurement resource or multiple measurement resources. Each measurement resource may include multiple-port CSI-RS ports. The UE may indicate, to the base station, selection of a measurement resource when multiple measurement resources are configured, and may also report layer independent or layer common selection of a subset of CSI-RS ports included in the indicated single measurement resource or multiple measurement resources. Further enhancements include frequency domain compression enhancement and dynamic codebook parameter reconfiguration.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to performing cellular communication using a control information monitoring framework. A wireless device may monitor a control channel for control information according to a first periodic pattern. According to the first periodic pattern, the wireless device may monitor the control channel in a specified slot during each period of the first periodic pattern. Each period of the first periodic pattern may include multiple slots. The wireless device may receive control information during a first slot. The first slot may be a specified slot according to the first periodic pattern. The control information received during the first slot may schedule a data communication. The wireless device may monitor the control channel for control information in at least one slot that is not specified according to the first periodic pattern based at least in part on receiving control information during a specified slot according to the first periodic pattern.

Abstract: A downlink control information (DCI), such as a blanking DCI (bDCI) message may be transmitted by a base station (e.g., eNB) and received by a mobile device (e.g., UE). The bDCI may indicate that the eNB will not transmit a subsequent DCI to the UE for a duration of time. The UE may be in continuous reception mode or connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode. The UE may therefore determine to enter a sleep state or take other action. The bDCI may specify an explicit blanking duration, or an index indicating a blanking duration from a lookup table, and/or the blanking duration (and/or a blanking duration offset value) may be determined in advance, e.g., semi-statically. When the UE is in C-DRX mode, the UE may be configured such that either the sleep/wake period of the C-DRX mode or the blanking period of the bDCI may take precedence over the other.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to preemption indicators in the context of multiplexing different services on wireless physical layer frames. In some embodiments, a preemption indication is transmitted to indicate resources used by a preempting transmission. The preemption indication may be used when preemption is enabled, e.g., as indicated by an RRC message. The preemption indication may be common to multiple UEs. The resources used by the preempting transmission may overlap with other transmissions. In various embodiments, the disclosed techniques may facilitate signal preemption, e.g., by a low-latency, high-reliability data service.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform substantially concurrent communications with a next generation network node and a legacy network node. The wireless device may be configured to establish a first wireless link with a first cell according to a RAT, where the first cell operates in a first system bandwidth and establish a second wireless link with a second cell according to a RAT, where the second cell operates in a second system bandwidth. Further, the wireless device may be configured to perform uplink activity for both the first RAT and the second RAT by TDM uplink data for the first RAT and uplink data for the second RAT if uplink activity is scheduled according to both the first RAT and the second RAT.

Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to transmit an indication of a link failure on a secondary cell. The indication may be transmitted on resources selected based on one or more conditions. One or more priority rules may be used to resolve collisions. The UE may further make an assumption of a beam or beams to use for communications with the secondary cell following the link failure and prior to receiving an indication from the network of a selected beam.
