    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) and a network agree on the use of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) codebook. The UE receives a plurality of downlink control information (DCI) transmissions during a corresponding plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions from the base station, wherein each DCI transmission schedules multiple physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions on a corresponding one of a plurality of component carriers (CCs), receives a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table configuration from the base station, determines a maximum number of PDSCH transmissions per CC based on the TDRA table configuration, groups the plurality of CCs together and determines a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) codebook size based on a number of the multiple PDSCH transmissions, the maximum number of PDSCH transmissions, and a resulting ACK or negative acknowledgement (NACK) for each of the multiple PDSCH transmissions.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for using a relay user equipment (UE) to transport data of interest received from a first remote UE to a second remote UE on a UE to UE relay within a wireless communication system are discussed herein. These methods may be performed at Layer 2 of a protocol stack of the wireless communication system. Data packets sent on the UE to UE relay may include an adaptation header including routing information (e.g., Layer 2 addresses, a bearer-specific index, etc.) for the UE to UE relay. An adaptation layer may accordingly be provided within Layer 2 to decode these adaptation headers. In some cases, a per-bearer approach may be used to map between individual direct bearers of a hop by hop path configuration of the UE to UE relay. Embodiments eschewing the adaptation header and instead using logical channel identifiers (LCIDs) to make routing indications are also described.

    Abstract: A base station and a user equipment (UE) communicate the configure uplink communications in a multi-transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) configured network. The UE receives an indication of multiple sounding reference signal (SRS) resources that are to be used for uplink beam tracking, wherein each SRS resource is associated with different spatial relation information, transmits SRS using the associated spatial relation information, receives an indication that a user equipment (UE) is configured with one or more beam pairs, the one or more beam pairs configured by the network based on the SRS and transmits an uplink channel based on the indicated one or more beam pairs.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to disable a HARQ feedback in either a semi-static way or in a dynamic way and to perform HARQ optimization. The wireless device may be configured to receive a first set and a second set of HARQ process numbers, where the first set and the second set of HARQ process numbers correspond to a first set and a second set of HARQ processes respectively, where each HARQ process in the first set of HARQ processes is configured to enable a HARQ feedback, and where each HARQ process in the second set of HARQ processes is configured to disable or enable a HARQ feedback. The wireless device may be configured to receive a grant configuration or a SPS, where the grant configuration or the SPS include a flag indicating whether a HARQ-based retransmission is disabled.
