Abstract: An approach is described for a base station to generate a first message and a second message. The base station transmits the first message and the second message to a user equipment (UE). The first message is associated with a cell supported by the base station and includes a first public land mobile network (PLMN) identity index and a first list of one or more network slices supported by a first PLMN associated with the first PLMN identity index. The second message is associated with one or more neighboring cells, and includes the first PLMN identity index and a second list of one or more network slice data associated the first PLMN as supported by the one or more neighboring cells. In addition, at least one of the one or more network slice data in the second list includes a sub-list of one or more neighboring cell data.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for counting active resources for UE processing complexity related capability. A cellular base station may comprise at least one antenna; at least one radio coupled to the at least one antenna; and a processor coupled to the at least one radio. The cellular base station is configured to count a total number of active resources in a slot, wherein an active resource is defined for counting a number of CSI resources a UE needs to process simultaneously in a slot.

Abstract: Described are approaches to multi-cell PUSCH/PDSCH scheduling with a single DCI (downlink control information) in a wireless communication system. In one approach, only one component carrier is configured with the multi-cell scheduling DCIs, with no DCI configured on the other component carriers. In a second approach, all of the component carriers can be configured with the multi-cell scheduling DCIs. In a third option, one component carrier is configured with multi-cell scheduling DCI only, while the other component carriers can be configured with the legacy single-cell scheduling DCIs. In a fourth option, one component carrier is configured with both multi-cell scheduling DCIs and the legacy single-cell scheduling DCIs, while the other component carriers can be configured with the legacy single-cell scheduling DCIs. In the fifth option, all the component carriers can be configured with both multi-cell scheduling DCIs and the legacy single-cell scheduling DCIs. In addition, dropping rules are described for the situations of overbooking, i.e., when the number of PDCCH candidates exceeds the capabilities of the user equipment (UE). Potential dropping rules include following the legacy procedure, and providing higher priority to candidates with user-specific search spaces with multi-cell scheduling DCIs. Also described is the impact on DCI formats to accommodate single-cell and multi-cell scheduling DCIs on the same component carrier. Finally, limits on the number and sizes of the DCIs are described.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for a user equipment (UE) to receive physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions of a transport block (TB) over multiple slots. The UE can receive a configuration for a PDSCH transmission of a TB over multiple slots (TBoMS), such as a first number of slots, through a downlink from a base station. The configuration can include an indication of the first number of slots. The UE can further determine a transport block size (TBS) for the PDSCH transmission, and allocate a second number of slots used by the UE to support the PDSCH transmission. Based on the TBS for the PDSCH transmission satisfying a condition, the processor can be configured to receive the PDSCH transmission of the TB over the second number of slots, and decode the PDSCH transmission received.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for simultaneous multiple secondary cell (SCell) fast activation in a wireless communications system. Some embodiments include a user equipment (UE) that can simultaneously activate multiple SCells. In some embodiments, after receiving an activation command, the UE can receive two or more temporary reference signals (T-RSs) which are user equipment (UE) specific reference signals. The UE can use the T-RSs for fine time/frequency (T/F) tracking and Automatic Gain Control (AGC) adjustment of corresponding SCells resulting in reduced SCell activation latency compared to utilizing a Synchronization Signal (SS)/Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC).

Abstract: An approach is described for a dynamic off period of a base station within a wireless communication environment and a process for notifying a UE of the same. In a first scenario, the DCI message is modified with newly-defined values indicative of the different power saving states (i.e., “dynamic off states”) of the base station. These power saving states may defined as suspending one or both of downlink transmission and uplink reception. In another scenario, a new notification message is defined. In either case, the notification signal may also include cell and/or beam specific parameters as well as an application delay that defines a start time of the dynamic off period.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing channel state information (CSI) reporting that includes a stale CSI report. Based at least in part on a CSI reporting configuration, a user equipment (UE) performs CSI measurements during a current reference time period, and generates one or more CSI reports including at least a stale CSI report. A stale CSI report is generated based at least in part on CSI measurements performed prior to the current reference time period. The UE further generates an uplink message including the one or more CSI reports, and transmits the uplink message to the base station under a reporting setting determined by the CSI reporting configuration.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product for radio resource management (RRM) scaling factor enhancement without measurement gaps (MGs) in an E-UTRA-New Radio (NR) Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) network. Some embodiments include a user equipment (UE) that receives from a Primary Node (PN), a first NR measurement object (MO) without MG associated with a frequency. The UE receives from a Secondary Node (SN), a second NR MO without MG associated with the same frequency. The UE allocates resources based on a Primary Secondary Component Carrier (PSCC) and determines a scaling factor for determining a total procedure period for obtaining measurements to satisfy the first and the second NR MO without MG. Some embodiments include combining counts of NR MO without MG at a same frequency. Some embodiments include coordination between the PN and the SN so that MOs without MG at a common frequency satisfy the merging rule.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to operate as a relay UE between a remote UE and a base station. The relay UE receives, from an originating device, a data packet for relay to a recipient device, determines that the relay of the data packet to the recipient device has failed and sends, to the originating device, a transmission including the data packet, wherein the transmission comprises an indication that the data packet is being returned to the originating device.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices can are provided, which can include configuring one or more bandwidth parts for a secondary cell (SCell) that is in communication with a user equipment (UE). A base station transmits to a UE a first radio resource control (RRC) message including one or more configuration parameters for a first bandwidth part (BWP) associated with a secondary cell (SCell). The UE communicates a first message with the SCell via the first SCell BWP. The UE receives a second RRC message indicating a change from the first SCell BWP to a second SCell BWP to be used for SCell communications. The UE communicates a second message with the SCell via the second SCell BWP.
