Abstract: An approach for wireless communications to support reduced capability New Radio (NR) with larger available control resource sets (CORESET) bandwidths. Examples include a frequency-hopping CORESET with a predefined hopping pattern configured by higher layers, such as RRC signaling or MAC Control Element (CE) on a per CORESET per UE or purely per UE basis. Frequency hopping patterns for CORESET transmissions include the use of PRBs for CORESETs that are mirrored with respect to the central frequency of active bandwidth part (BWP), and the use of a random parameter to step through the frequency pattern. The sub-band location of the physical downlink shared channel that is scheduled by the physical downlink control channel may be indicated using the DCI format, or may be based on a last slot for PDCCH transmission.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) reports radio access capabilities to a network. The UE receives a request from a network for radio access capabilities of the UE, determining one or more radio access capabilities related to physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) blind decoding by the UE, generates a message that includes the one or more radio access capabilities of the UE and transmits the message to the network.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for mitigation of listen before talk conflicts in the unlicensed spectrum. A wireless device may receive one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) from a base station (BS) as part of a measurement procedure with listen before talk (LBT). The wireless device may determine one or more LBT failures associated with one or more receive beams of the wireless device. Furthermore, in response to determining the one or more LBT failures associated with the one or more receive beams of the wireless device, the wireless device may extend a measurement period for the one or more receive beams of the wireless device. The wireless device may then receive one or more additional SSBs on the one or more receive beams of the wireless device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media described herein may have the complexity to support simultaneous communications (e.g., transmission/reception to/from) with two or more cells. Therefore, before configuring a handover, the network needs to know if these methods, systems, and storage media can support simultaneous communication with multiple cells or not. Among other things, these methods, systems, and storage media can reduce the interruption time during handovers for when these methods, systems, and storage media are capable of such simultaneous communication.

Abstract: An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprises one or more baseband processors to process a bandwidth part (BWP) switching request from a serving cell at slot n, and to perform an active BWP switch to a new BWP on the serving cell at a time no later than slot n+Y, wherein Y is a BWP switching delay. The one or more baseband processors are to accommodate a timing advance (TA) value to determine when to perform the active BWP switch. The apparatus can include a memory to store the BWP switching request.

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: Systems and methods for networks having user equipment (UE) that can perform measurement/reporting of received signals and a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission that is part of an SRS antenna port switching procedure are described herein. In some circumstances, the measurement and the SRS antenna port switching procedure overlap on one or more symbols. Across various embodiments, the UE prioritizes one of the measurement and the SRS antenna port switching procedure based on one or more of a scheduling type (periodic, semi-persistent, aperiodic) of the measurement, a scheduling type of a channel state information (CSI) report for a measurement result for the measurement, and/or a scheduling type of the SRS transmission of the SRS antenna port switching procedure. Networks that avoid overlaps by scheduling SRS transmissions away from UE signal measurements, or transmissions of signals to be measured away from UE SRS antenna port switching procedures, are also described.
