Abstract: Systems and methods for the use of measurement object having multiple synchronization signal block (SSB)-based measurement timing configurations (SMTCs) indicating a same periodicity and different offsets are disclosed herein. In some of these cases, a wireless communications network can provide a user equipment (UE) with a measurement object (MO) having up to a total number of total SMTCs. or having SMTC sets each of up to a predetermined number of SMTCs. UE determinations regarding a number of the SMTCs to use to perform one or more corresponding SSB measurements during a period of a periodicity indicated by one or more SMTCs of an MO are also discussed. The use of scheduling restrictions by the UE based on non-terrestrial network (NTN) characteristics of one or more of a serving cell and a neighbor cell to be measured are also discussed.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing beam failure recovery in a high speed single frequency network scenario in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may establish a cellular link with a cellular network according to a single frequency network scheme. The wireless device may determine one or more beam failure detection resources for each of multiple transmission reception points associated with the cellular network. The wireless device may detect beam failure for one or more of the transmission reception points using the beam failure detection resources.

Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing inter-UE coordination regarding reserved resources of a sidelink (SL) resource pool are described herein. A first user equipment (UE) may identify that a first SL resource pool on a first radio access technology (RAT) overlaps with a second SL resource pool on a second RAT, sense for reservation signaling on the second SL resource pool to determine reserved resources on the second SL resource pool, and transmit resource reservation information indicating those reserved resources on SL on the first RAT. A second UE may receive the resource reservation information on the SL, identify, within the first SL resource pool, corresponding resources that overlap with the reserved resources of the second SL resource pool, select, from the first SL resource pool, transmission resources to use for a SL transmission by prioritizing resources other than the corresponding resources; and perform the SL transmission using those transmission resources.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing uplink (UL) gaps to facilitate user equipment (UE) calibration are disclosed herein. A UE determines one or more slot patterns of a slot configuration that is repeated during time division duplex (TDD) communication with a base station. The UE determines a UL gap periodicity (defining periods covering an integer number of repetitions of the slot configuration). The UE then performs UE calibration during one or more semi-persistently configured UL slots of a period of the UL gap periodicity that correspond to UL indication(s) in one or more of a common configuration, a dedicated configuration, and/or a slot format indication (SFI) downlink control information (DCI) for the slot pattern(s) of the slot configuration. Methods of identifying particular semi-persistently configured UL slots of a period to use for the UL gap are also discussed. UL slot indications from dynamic DCI are not used for UL gap purposes.

Abstract: A cell receives channel state information for multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) from a user equipment (UE). The cell selects a first transmission reception point (TRP) of multiple TRPs associated with a cell of a network, transmits a signal to a user equipment (UE) via the selected TRP, wherein the signal is configured to trigger semi-persistent CSI (SP-CSI) report at the UE and receives the SP-CSI report from the UE that includes CSI corresponding to each TRP of the multiple TRPs.

Abstract: Configuring non-zero-power channel state information reference signal (NZP-CSI-RS) may include encoding a channel state information (CSI) configuration communication for transmission to a user equipment (UE) that is in connected mode with both a first transmission and reception point (TRP) associated with a serving cell and a second TRP associated with a neighbor cell. The NZP-CSI-RS configuration communication may establish a plurality of parameters for NZP-CSI-RS in the serving cell and the neighbor cell.
