Abstract: A method for communicating, by user equipment (UE), on a secondary cell (SCell) with fast activation or deactivation includes obtaining channel state information (CSI) configuration data including a short CSI reporting scheme that indicates a particular number of CSI reports for transmitting on physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources by the UE. The method includes sending the particular number of CSI reports on the PUCCH resources in accordance with the CSI configuration data. The CSI configuration data can be received from a serving cell of a new radio (NR) access node (gNB) in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) that indicates a status of a short CSI report configuration within a configuration list, and wherein the UE sends one or more of the CSI reports in accordance with the status of the short CSI report configuration.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate transmit diversity for power saving signals (e.g., WUS (Wake Up Signal) or GTS (Go To Sleep signal)). One example embodiment comprises an apparatus configured to be employed in a UE (User Equipment), comprising: a memory interface; and processing circuitry configured to: process a power saving signal associated with a drx-onDuration (Discontinuous Reception On Duration) occasion, wherein the power saving signal is received via a set of RBs (Resource Blocks) comprising a first plurality of RBs associated with a first precoder and a different second set of RBs associated with a different second precoder, wherein the set of RBs are within a configured set of time and frequency resources of the drx-onDuration occasion; and determine, based on the set of RBs, whether the power saving signal is a WUS or a GTS.

Abstract: Technology for a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) operable to encode a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource indicator field length for transmission to a user equipment (UE) for enhanced Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) (eURLLC) is disclosed. The gNB can determine the PUCCH resource indicator field length that indicates a length of a PUCCH resource indicator field, wherein the PUCCH resource indicator field length is related to transmission of a number of PUCCH symbols for eURLLC. The gNB can encode the PUCCH resource indicator field length for transmission in down-link control information (DCI) to the UE.

Abstract: A network element for configuring a Remote Interference Monitoring Reference Signal (RIM-RS) is disclosed. The network element transmits RIM-RS resource configuration and Information of Things (IoT) measurement and reporting configuration information to a base station. The base station conducts the IoT measurement and ducting phenomenon detection according to the received configuration, and transmits the results to the network element. The base station determines the number of repetition and/or near-far indication based on the received information and transmits the number of repetition and near-far indication to the base station. The base station then transmits the RIM-RS according to the received repetition and near-far indication.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for use in a wireless network for facilitating beam failure recovery procedure. Some embodiments are directed to a method, the method including detecting a beam failure instance. The method further including initiating a beam failure recovery procedure by dynamically activating or deactivating candidate beams per uplink bandwidth part (BWP) associated with a user equipment (UE). Moreover, the method further includes generating a control signal to identify the one or more activated or deactivated candidate beams for at least one BWP associated with the UE. The method also includes transmitting the control signal to the UE.

Abstract: A base station may generate first configuration information to configure a first user equipment (“UE”) to operate using a first bandwidth within a wideband carrier of a cell, generate second configuration information to configure a second UE to operate using a second bandwidth within the wideband carrier of the cell, and cause transmission of the first and second configuration information to the first and second UEs, respectively. The base station may configure the first and second UEs based upon capabilities received from each UE, respectively.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing backhaul communications for an integrated access and backhaul node (IAB) operating in a wireless network. For example, an IAB node determines a first random access channel (RACH) configuration for a child node in the wireless network that is served by the IAB node. The IAB transmits a RACH configuration request message including the first RACH configuration to a parent IAB node, and receives, from the parent IAB node, a second RACH configuration complete message that includes a second RACH configuration that is based on the first RACH configuration for the child node. The IAB then performs backhaul communication with the parent IAB node using the second RACH configuration.
