    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform methods for configuring a power savings signal in fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) networks. The wireless device may transmit, to a base station within a network, power savings requirements and receiving, from the base station, a configuration of a power saving signal, where the configuration indicates one or more functionalities of the power saving signal. The wireless device may periodically receive, from the base station, the power saving signal and interpret the power saving signal based on the configuration. The configuration of the power saving signal may be received via radio resource control signaling.

    Abstract: A downlink control information (DCI), such as a blanking DCI (bDCI) message may be transmitted by a base station (e.g., eNB) and received by a mobile device (e.g., UE). The bDCI may indicate that the eNB will not transmit a subsequent DCI to the UE for a duration of time. The UE may be in continuous reception mode or connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode. The UE may therefore determine to enter a sleep state or take other action. The bDCI may specify an explicit blanking duration, or an index indicating a blanking duration from a lookup table, and/or the blanking duration (and/or a blanking duration offset value) may be determined in advance, e.g., semi-statically. When the UE is in C-DRX mode, the UE may be configured such that either the sleep/wake period of the C-DRX mode or the blanking period of the bDCI may take precedence over the other.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for supporting aggregated retransmissions. In one example, a method includes receiving control information that indicates resources including one or more slots for communication of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission that includes at least one PDSCH/PUSCH retransmission A slot group to which a selected one of the one or more slots belongs is identified. The method includes configuring operation to receive the PDSCH transmission or to transmit the PUSCH transmission based on the resources. In response to determining that a PDSCH/PUSCH retransmission of the PDSCH/PUSCH transmission is scheduled for a slot outside the identified slot group, operation is configured to provide hybrid automatic repetition request (HARQ) feedback based on PDSCH/PUSCH retransmissions scheduled for slots within the identified slot group, wherein the HARQ feedback is not based on PDSCH/PUSCH scheduled for slots outside the identified slot group.

    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate beam management for non-terrestrial networks (NTN). One example aspect is A baseband processor, comprising: a memory interface; and processing communicatively coupled to the memory and transceiver interface and, while connected to a base station (BS) within a cell of a non-terrestrial network (NTN) and, where the cell comprises a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) associated with a plurality of beams, configured to perform operations comprising: receiving a signaling from the base station (BS) comprising a channel state indicator reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration associated with a first BWP of the plurality of BWPs, where the CSI-RS configuration comprises a beam measurement configuration for the plurality of beams, switching from a second BWP of the plurality of BWPs to the first BWP according to the CSI-RS configuration and measure one or more of the plurality of beams according to the beam measurement configuration; and generating a measurement report that includes a layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) measurement from the measured one or more of the plurality of beams.
