Abstract: Techniques described herein can facilitate Channel-State Information (CSI) measurement and feedback for communication in unlicensed spectrum or Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission and/or channel-state estimation for communication in unlicensed spectrum. In an example, an apparatus is configured to be employed in a User Equipment (UE), and the apparatus comprises a Radio Frequency (RF) circuitry interface and processing circuitry configured to perform CSI measurement for communication in unlicensed spectrum. The apparatus further generates data for feedback according to the CSI measurement, and sends the data for feedback to RF circuitry via the RF circuitry interface. In an example, a frame structure of a data channel begins with a downlink (DL) transmission or soon after an initial signal. In an example, the CSI measurement includes measuring Channel Quality Information (CQI) for one or more sub-bands.

Abstract: A cellular base station (BS) which determines an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) triggering offset configuration specifying an offset between an aperiodic SRS trigger received by a user equipment (UE) and transmission of the SRS by the UE. The cellular base station may determine that the SRS triggering offset should be adjusted. In response, the cellular base station may transmit signaling to the UE specifying a new value for the aperiodic SRS triggering offset. The new SRS triggering offset value may be partly based on a minimum timing offset for the UE and may be contained in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) or in downlink control information (DCI). Additionally, the new triggering offset value may be applicable for a plurality of component carriers or bandwidth parts. The cellular base station may also determine a new triggering offset value due to conflicts regarding the AP-SRS transmission.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for quantizing artificial intelligence (AI)-based compressed channel state information (CSI) feedback. In one example, a method includes receiving a set of encoder outputs from an AI-based encoder that generates compressed CSI feedback. The method includes optimizing a per-segment vector quantization (VQ) codebook for use in quantizing respective segments of encoder outputs based on the set of encoder outputs. A number of inputs of the VQ codebook and a number of outputs of the VQ codebook are based on a number of bits configured for uplink channel information (UCI) and a number of segments.

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: An approach to reduce the signaling overhead for tracking reference signal (TRS) configuration signaling to idle and inactive user equipments (UEs) operating in a wireless communication system. Conventional signaling approaches require more bits that can be conveyed in the maximum system information block (SIB) message size. One proposed approach optimizes the signaling by removing unnecessary or redundant information, using a single TRS configuration to replace multiple configurations, size reduction in some fields, and the sharing of some fields across different TRS configurations. Another proposed approach uses an SIB message to carry the TRS configurations for a particular beam or subset of beams. These two proposed approaches may be combined to provide further optimization possibilities.

Abstract: A wireless communication system may use enhanced feedback indicating a PDSCH decoding outcome. The enhanced feedback may be in an uplink control information (UCI) and carried over PUCCH or PUSCH. The enhanced feedback may be encoded and divided up into two parts of the UCI. A first payload may be carried in a first part of the UCI and a second payload comprising additional feedback information may be carried in a second part of the UCI.
