Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for channel occupancy rate determination of a channel between a user equipment (UE) and a base station in an unlicensed spectrum. A UE can perform measurements based on a measurement configuration from the base station, and further determine a channel occupancy rate of the channel based on the performed measurements. The measurement configuration indicates to the UE to perform an omni measurement or a directional measurement by using an antenna element of the UE. The UE can further transmit a report to the base station to indicate the channel occupancy rate.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to report channel state information (CSI) to a base station of a network. The UE receives configuration information from the base station including one or more interference measurement resources (IMRs) to be measured by the UE, determines a noise power for each of the IMRs, transmits a reference channel state information (CSI) report the base station, measures CSI reference signals (CSI RS) transmitted by the base station to determine an interference and noise power for each of the one or more IMRs and transmits a new CSI report including one of i) only interference and noise power fluctuation feedback or ii) multiple signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) or SINR statistics to the base station.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for receiving and utilizing positioning reference signals (PRSs) with bandwidth aggregation, e.g., in 5G NR systems and beyond. A UE may adjust its measurement and timing procedures in various ways to accommodate PRS bandwidth aggregation across multiple positioning frequency layers and multiple component carriers. For example, various parameters and procedures may be adjusted to reduce power imbalance between component carriers, to accommodate measurement of the aggregated bandwidth, to allow increased measurement gap for receiving PRS from neighbor cells, to provide assistance information reporting impairment introduced by the PRS bandwidth aggregation, etc.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for a user equipment (UE) to perform measurement operations for a handover procedure including target NR Primary Secondary Cell (PSCell) change or addition. The measurements of a target PSCell are performed in accordance with a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block measurement time configuration (SMTC) included in a measurement object received from a base station (BS). A source primary cell (PCell) is used for reference timing of the SMTC if the measurement object is configured by the source PCell on same frequency and subcarrier spacing of the target PSCell. A source PSCell is used for reference timing of the SMTC if the measurement object is configured by the source PSCell on same frequency and subcarrier spacing of the target PSCell.
