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 both V-Pol and H-Pol antenna elements. A UE may message a base station to configure uplink (UL) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) operations across one or more of the V-Pol and the H-Pol. The message may include a number of MIMO layers to be concurrently used for communicating data to the base station, where each MIMO layer is transmitted using one of a V-Pol and an H-Pol; a number of sounding reference signals (SRS) to be transmitted by the UE, each SRS to be transmitted using one of the V-Pol and the H-Pol; and a supported maximum number of antenna ports per each SRS.

Abstract: A communication system provides reliable wideband communications with reduced. power consumption in a user equipment (UE) receiver. A UE may include receiver circuitry to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal from a wireless network and output an analog baseband signal. The RF signal includes M copies of a duplicated signal in a frequency domain. The analog baseband signal includes the M copies of the duplicated signal uniformly offset from one another in the frequency domain by a bandwidth F and including a gap between adjacent copies. The UE further includes an anti-aliasing analog filter an analog to digital converter (ADC). The ADC samples an output of the anti-aliasing analog filter at a sampling frequency selected to obtain a digital baseband signal comprising a combined digital copy of the M copies of the duplicated signal folded over each other.

Abstract: Systems and methods of a wireless communications system using signals not traditionally used for positioning purposes for positioning measurements in both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) are described herein. A user equipment (UE) may generate a UE capability information message indicating one or more signal types that the LE can process for DL positioning measurements and/or that the UE can send for UL positioning measurements. The one or more signal types so indicated may include signals not traditionally used for positioning measurements. The UE may send, to the base station, the UE capability information message. The wireless communications system may then configure the base station and/or the UE to use such signal types with one or more positioning methods. In some embodiments, the base station may also indicate to the UE a subset of signals of an indicated type which should be processed for DL measurements/sent for UL measurements.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is served by a serving cell of a network and is configured to measure channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) from a target cell. The UE receives, from the serving cell, a measurement configuration message indicating the UE is to measure CSI-RS from a target cell of the network, wherein the measurement configuration message does not include Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) information for the target cell but further comprises an indication of whether the target cell transmits SSBs. The UE determines, based on at least the measurement configuration message, a time and frequency resource on which the CSI-RS of the target cell are to be transmitted and measures the CSI-RS of the target cell.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive cell information including related frequency and network slice information. The UE receives network slice based dedicated priority information for the UE from a currently camped cell, selects a frequency band for camping based on a configured network slice and the network slice based dedicated priority information and establishes a protocol data unit (PDU) session with the configured network slice when camped on the frequency band.

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 user equipment (UE) may be configured with information to perform conditional handovers or addition/change of a primary secondary cell (PSCell). The UE receives a first radio resource control (RRC) configuration message from the source cell for conditional handover to the at least one target cell, the first RRC configuration message including conditional handover execution conditions, an RRC configuration and a target cell ID for each one of a list of target cells, performs measurements on the target cells to determine whether any one of the target cells fulfills its corresponding conditional handover execution conditions and, when a first target cell from the list of target cells fulfills its corresponding conditional handover execution conditions, initiates a handover to the first target cell.

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.
