    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments relate to a user equipment (UE) performing radio link monitoring of a sidelink. The UE may transmit a signal over the sidelink and receive an indication of a type of hybrid automatic repeating request (HARQ) feedback in response to the signal. The UE may then generate a radio link metric associated with the sidelink based on the type of HARQ feedback. The UE may determine that the radio link metric satisfies a predetermined threshold and initiate a keep alive procedure for the sidelink based on the radio link metric satisfying the predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is connected to a 5G New Radio (NR) network via a serving cell. The UE performs radio resource management (RRM) measurements on the serving cell, determines whether the UE satisfies power saving criteria for a first, second, or third mobility scenario while in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle state or RRC inactive state, wherein, when the UE is in the first or second mobility scenario, the UE performs RRM measurements with longer intervals relative to RRM measurements performed in a non-power-saving mode and wherein, when the UE is in the third scenario, the UE performs RRM measurements for neighbor cells with longer intervals relative to RRM measurements performed in a non-power-saving mode and determines a UE RRM configuration when the UE transitions from any of the power saving scenarios or the non-power-saving mode to any other power saving scenarios or the non-power-saving mode.

    Abstract: One or more methods of operating an access node. At least one of the methods includes: detecting a capability indication that indicates a capability of a user equipment (UE) to simultaneously receive and transmit (Rx/Tx) on a first component carrier (CC1) and a second component carrier (CC2); and scheduling, based at least on the capability, a first UE activity to occur over the CC1 and a second UE activity to occur over the CC2 to avoid a collision in a time-domain by prioritizing one of the first UE activity or the second UE activity relative to the other one of the first UE activity or the second UE activity.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for use in a wireless network for determining a reception (Rx) beam sweep scale factor, N, that enables a user equipment (UE) to perform Rx beam refinement. Some embodiments are directed to a 5G Node B (gNB) that includes processor circuitry and radio front end circuitry. The processor circuitry can be configured to receive, using the radio front end circuitry, a MaxNumberRxB cam capability of the UE. The processor circuitry can determine based at least on the MaxNumberRxBeam capability of the UE and/or a Channel-State Information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) set with a repetition parameter configured to be ON, the value of N. The processor circuitry can generate a message comprising the value N, and encode the message for transmission to the UE, where N Rx beam sweeps enable the UE to perform Rx beam refinement.
