Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device is disclosed. The UE device comprises a processor configured to perform operations comprising receiving a downlink control information (DCI) from a base station. In some embodiments, the DCI comprises an indication to trigger a Type-3 hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) feedback signal. The operations further comprise generating the Type-3 HARQ ACK feedback signal, based on processing the DCI. In some embodiments, the Type-3 HARQ ACK feedback signal comprises one or more HARQ-ACK bits for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) release(s). In some embodiments, each of the one or more HARQ-ACK bits for SPS PDSCH release(s) is adapted to include HARQ-ACK information for an SPS PDSCH release associated with the UE. Further, the operations comprise sending the Type-3 HARQ-ACK feedback signal to the base station.

IPC: H04W74/08

Abstract: An apparatus may receive a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) from a base station (BS) indicating a secondary cell (SCell) to be activated in an unlicensed band. The apparatus may initiate a timer with an end value in response to receiving the MAC CE and may further adjust a radio-frequency (RF) chain from a first state to a second state corresponding to the SCell to be activated. The apparatus may determine, based on measurements of one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) transmitted from the BS indicating one or more listen before talk (LBT) failures corresponding to the SCell, one or more failed SSB transmissions corresponding to the SCell. Accordingly, the apparatus may readjust, in response to expiry of the timer, the RF chain from the second state to the first state and receive one or more additional SSBs in the first state.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for beam indication latency reduction via a symbol level beam sweeping configuration. A base station may receive, from a user equipment device (UE), a report associated with symbol level beam sweeping. The base station may determine a symbol level beam sweeping configuration. The symbol level beam sweeping configuration may be based, at least in part, on the report. The base station may transmit, to the UE, the symbol level beam sweeping configuration.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques for wireless communications based on one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states are described. A described technique performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a first downlink channel based on a current TCI state; receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a first slot, the PDSCH carrying a radio resource control (RRC) activation command in the first slot, the RRC activation command indicating a switch to a target TCI state; waiting until an end of a switching period triggered by the RRC activation command to use the target TCI state, the switching period being based on a RRC processing delay; and receiving, based on the end of the switching period, a second downlink channel based on the target TCI state in a second slot.
