Abstract: An approach to communication by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system that includes the UE sending an RRC setup request message including a paging offset value to a base station. The UE receives an RRC setup message from the network node, the RRC setup message including a PS-paging offset value and a PS-P-RNTI value associated with the UE. Energy conservation approaches for use with paging are described, including paging occasion monitor reporting and configuration, paging-offset reporting, the use of a paging monitoring skipping signal, and the use of dynamic TRS triggering for paging reception.

Abstract: Various systems and methods disclosed herein describe improvements for beam management that leverage virtualization across a vertical polarization (V-Pol) and horizontal polarization (H-Pol). One or more of a user equipment (UE) and a base station may include an antenna array comprising V-Pol antenna elements and H-Pol antenna elements. The UE may determine a number of receive (Rx) beam of an Rx beam sweep are needed, signal this number to the base station, and perform the beam sweep according to one or both of the V-Pol and H-Pol. A UE may use group based beam reporting to indicate to the base station a transmit (Tx) beam upon which downlink MIMO using V-Pol and H-Pol may be supported by reporting a same transmission configuration indication (TCI) corresponding to the Tx beam for both a first Rx beam and a second Rx beam in a group based beam reporting message.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for improving capability signaling and performing search space set switching, particularly with large sub-carrier spacings, as in high frequency ranges. In various scenarios, a user equipment (UE) device may signal its capability to perform multi-slot PDCCH monitoring and/or single-slot PDCCH monitoring, e.g., at various sub-carrier spacings, for various PDCCH/DCI types, etc. Various technical difficulties in this area are addressed, including increasing flexibility and versatility in capability signaling, overbooking, signaling and timing of search space set switching, and beam sweeping transmission of DCI Format 2_0, among others.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for signaling cross-division duplex configurations. One of the methods includes determining, by a first device and for a symbol in a time slot of a cross-division duplex transmission link with a second device, that the first device can use a combination of multiple different symbol types across frequency to communicate with the second device at the symbol using cell-specific configuration data that indicates, for each of multiple symbols across time, various combinations of two or more symbol types from the multiple different symbol types to use to communicate across the respective symbol; and communicating, by the first device and with the second device using the cross-division duplex transmission link, across the symbol in the time slot using a first symbol type for a first bandwidth unit and a second, different symbol type for a second, different bandwidth unit.

Abstract: An evaluating user equipment (UE) includes memory and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory. The one or more processor are configured to schedule periodic resources with one or more configured feedback-based collision detection parameters, and perform a periodic transmission to one or more receiving UEs. The one or more processors are also configured to collect negative acknowledgement (NACK) statistics for the periodic transmission according to the configured feedback-based collision detection parameters, and selectively perform corrective action based on the collected NACK statistics and at least one of the configured feedback-based collision detection parameters.

Abstract: Methods and systems to enhance NR RACH procedure to accommodate non-terrestrial networks (NTN) are disclosed. The length of the RAR window may be extended. A NTN-RNTI associated with the time-frequency resources used for the PRACH preamble may be used to scramble the CRC of DCI used for downlink assignment in the RAR. The DCI content may include information on the associated PRACH preamble to assist the UE in distinguishing between RARs generated as a response to PRACH preambles transmitted by different UEs from different system frames. The NTN-RNTI may contain information on the system frames when the UE sends the PRACH preamble. The RA-RNTI associated with the time-frequency resources used for the PRACH preambles transmitted from different frames may be used to scramble different subsets of the CRC of the DCI format 1_0 to assist the UE in distinguishing between RARs generated in response to the different PRACH preambles.
