Abstract: A network-controlled repeater (NCR) may receive configuration information from a base station to configure one or more receive (Rx) beams and corresponding time-domain resources for potential reception from one or more user equipments (UEs). The NCR may monitor for reception of a physical uplink channel or signal from the one or more UEs on the configured one or more Rx beams on the corresponding time-domain resources and determine that the physical uplink channel or signal is not received for at least a threshold amount of time. Additionally, the NCR may determine to refrain from at least one of additional monitoring for reception of the physical uplink channel or signal from the one or more UEs or transmission of one or more synchronization signal block (SSBs) to the one or more UEs for a duration of time.

Abstract: The present application relates to selecting one or more of activated transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for communications between a network and a user equipment. In an example, the network includes multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) with which the UE communications. An activated TCI state can be a unified downlink TCI state that applies to multiple downlink channels or a unified uplink TCI state that applies to multiple uplink channels, where this state has already been activated by the network for the UE. Based on a predefined set of rules or network-based signaling, the UE can determine for a downlink or uplink communication with the network, one or more of the activated TCI states to use to then perform the downlink or uplink communication with the network.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing multi-transmission and reception point operation in a wireless communication system. A plurality of transmission control indication states may be indicated for future use, e.g., using one or more separately identified lists. A subset of the indicated states may be activated. One or more states of the subset may be used for performing multi-transmission and reception point operation in a single downlink control information mode.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can operate in an unlicensed network for sidelink (SL) communications to generate SL transmission with multiple RB sets to include physical resource blocks (PRBs) in an intra-cell guard band between two adjacent RB sets that are associated with a first RB set or a second RB set. PRBs of the intra-cell guard band can belong to the first RB set with a lower frequency than the intra-cell guard band or belong to a second RB set with a higher frequency than the intra-cell guard band.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for Wake up signal monitoring in a radio resource control connected (RRC) mode. An example method can include a user equipment (UE) determining capability information associated with wake-up signal (WUS) monitoring, the capability information to include an indication that the UE supports WUS monitoring in a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode. The UE can transmit, to a base station, an indication of the capability. The UE can perform, while in a sleep state in which transmitting and receiving by a main radio is suspended, WUS monitoring to detect a trigger. The UE can transition from the sleep state to the awake state based on the trigger. The UE can monitor for a downlink (DL) transmission in the awake state.

Abstract: A system may include an access point (AP), user equipment (UE), and a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). The RIS may include an array of elements coupled to adjustable devices controlled to cause the array to reflect signals in different directions. The RIS may be controlled in a first mode in which the AP controls the adjustable devices, a second mode in which the UE controls the adjustable devices, and a third mode in which the RIS controls the adjustable devices. The RIS, AP, or UE may determine which mode to place the RIS in based on a downlink signal transmitted by the AP, an uplink signal transmitted by the UE, measurements of the signals performed on the RIS, a first distance or round trip time between the AP and the RIS, and/or a second distance or round trip time between the UE and the RIS.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to techniques for configuring a repeater device by control signaling in a wireless communications system. In some embodiments, a repeater device is configured to form separate coverage regions. For example, the repeater device determines a first coverage region based on a first beam at the repeater device paired with a network device, wherein the first coverage region corresponds to a direction such that the first beam falls within the first coverage region for serving a control link or a backhaul link between the repeater device and the network device. Based on a first indication, the repeater device determines one or more coverage regions with respect to the first coverage region, wherein the one or more coverage regions are configured to communicate with a user equipment via an access link of the repeater device.
