Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs for a coordination mechanism between a network and a user equipment (UE) that is configured to perform cross-link interference (CLI) measurements. In one aspect, a method includes generating a message that indicates a capability of a user equipment (UE) whether to support simultaneous reception of at least one signal associated with cross-link interference (CLI) measurement and at least one signal associated with a serving cell or a neighbor cell of the UE. The method further includes transmitting the message to an access node (AN).

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for triggering and using uplink gaps in cellular networks. A method of an embodiment comprises: transmitting, to a base station, an indication of an uplink (UL) gap capability or preference of the UE for body proximity sensing (BPS) or transceiver calibration; activating a UL gap configuration based on an activation command received from a network; and performing operations for BPS or transceiver calibration within a UL gap defined by the UL gap configuration.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to perform measurements on reference signals based on concurrent measurement gaps. In an example, a device supports concurrent measurement gaps for intra-RAT measurements. The device can also indicate to a network whether it supports concurrent measurement gaps for inter-RAT measurements. Based on this indication, the network can configure measurement gap patterns and measurement objects for the UE to perform intra-RAT measurements and, as applicable, inter-RAT measurements.

Abstract: Aspects are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for measurement gap configuration. A cellular network may establish communication with a UE using a first and second cell. The cellular network may configure bandwidth parts (BWPs) for the first and second cell, including a first and second BWP for the first cell and a third and fourth BWP for the second cell. A measurement gap configuration that specifies when the UE is to use a first measurement gap pattern may be provided to the UE. At a first time, the cellular network may communicate with the UE using the first BWP for the first cell and the third BWP for the second cell, based on the first measurement gap pattern. At a second time, the cellular network may communicate with the UE using the second BWP for the first cell based on a modification of the first measurement gap pattern.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for configuring, performing, and reporting neighbor cell measurements in a wireless communication system. A base station of a serving cell may provide configuration information relevant to performing layer 1 (L1) measurements based on reference signals of one or more neighbor cells. A UE may perform L1 inter-frequency measurements of the neighbor cell(s) based on the configuration. The UE may report the measurements.

Abstract: Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE). The method comprises determining a first time period for the UE, based on whether the UE uses Discontinuous Reception (DRX) and whether the UE uses Measurement Gap (MG). The first time period indicates a respective timing criterion for the UE to determine a time period of maintaining available downlink timing for a reference cell; The method further comprises determining, based on the first time period, a first time threshold for the UE to determine reference cell availability.
