Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for Multi cast/Broadcast Services (MBS). The embodiments described herein are directed to procedures for managing multiplexed MBS traffic, for prioritization between MBS related UL traffic, unicast UL traffic, and SL traffic, for handling HARQ retransmissions over C-RNTI, to support PDCP Status Reporting for MBS services, and for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) joining already started/activated Multicast Sessions. In one example, a WTRU may receive multiplexed MBS services via one or more MBS radio bearers (MRB) and/or one or more unicast data radio bearers (DRBs). The WTRU may be configured with a single Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) entity for the MBS services, and demultiplexing of traffic may be performed at the SDAP layer. The WTRU may be configured to demultiplex multiple logical channels across different MBS services, where the logical channels are received over the same transport block.

Abstract: Multicast/Broadcast Service (MBS) for user equipments (UE) in Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle/inactive modes via signally of MBS frequency ranges and/or switching between frequency ranges as required. Bandwidth Part (BWP) operation for MBS in RRC IDLE and RRC INACTIVE states may be implemented using a dedicated MBS BWP or by sharing a frequency range with other operations. An MBS frequency range may be wider or narrower than an initial BWP used by a UE, for example. MBS frequency range configure may be achieved in a number of ways, such as via Control Resource Set (CORESET), search space, and/or PDCCH monitoring occasions pattern settings for MBS in RRC idle/inactive. Downlink scheduling without dynamic grant for MBS in RRC idle/inactive may include configured scheduling and/or semi-persistent scheduling. Downlink repetition for MBS in RRC idle/inactive may include PDSCH repetition and/or PDCCH repetition

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses may assist scheduling for broadcast and groupcast on new radio Uu interface. In an example, there may be broadcast and groupcast transmission scheduling mechanism with: group based scheduling, UE specific based scheduling, or sub-group based scheduling. In another example, there may be a serving cell configuration for broadcast and groupcast transmission with dedicated cell for broadcast and groupcast, or broadcast and groupcast cell which is shared with the cell for unicast. In another example, there may be downlink control related configuration for broadcast and groupcast transmission with details of the BWP configuration, the CORESET configuration, or the search space configuration.

Abstract: A radio apparatus communicating with a first and a second network, and having a first connection to the first network, may receive a page from the second network and determine to form a second connection with the second network, and notify the first network of the selection. The first network may then notify the apparatus to release or suspend the first connection. The apparatus may send release and/or suspension preferences to the first network, such as a preference to be treated in an idle or inactive mode, paging preferences, and a preferred identifier of the apparatus. The apparatus may then form the second connection, and monitor for paging from the first network, e.g., during a given paging occasion and paging frame.

Abstract: A first apparatus receives, from a second apparatus via a sidelink (SL) transmission, first configuration parameters for a first SL DRX group and second configuration parameters for a second SL DRX group. The first configuration parameters for the first SL DRX group comprise: a common SL DRX parameter set that is shared with the second configuration parameters for the second SL DRX group, and a first dedicated SL DRX configuration parameter set. The first dedicated DRX parameter set comprises: a first on duration at the beginning of a SL DRX cycle of the first apparatus, and a first duration: after an occasion of a PSCCH carrying a first-stage SL control information (SCI) indicates a new SL transmission for a MAC entity of the first apparatus, or after an occasion of a PSSCH carrying a second-stage SCI indicates a new SL transmission for the MAC entity of the first apparatus. The first apparatus determines that the first apparatus is in a first SL active time for receiving information on the SL based on the first configuration parameters for the first SL DRX group, and in a second SL active time for receiving information on the SL based on the configuration parameter for the second SL DRX group.

Abstract: The performance of user equipment (UE) using sidelink radio communications may be improved by providing the UE with sidelink configuration information pertaining to modes, functions, channels, signals, and/or resources for use in sidelink communications. For example, a UE may receive information indicating a sidelink mode, e.g., a transmit-only, receive-only, or a transmit and receive mode. Sidelink configuration may include indications of signals and/or channels for use in sidelink transmit and/or receive communications, etc.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for LBT adaptation, beam operation, interference handling in NR above 52.6 GHz. In an example, a wireless communications device may send information on a channel. The wireless communications device may receive, from a UE, one or more ready to receives (RTRs). The wireless communications device may determine, based on a number of consecutive RTRs of the one or more RTRs, a listen before talk (LBT) mode. The channel may comprise a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), a Physical Downlink Shared Data Channel (PDSCH), or a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH). The LBT mode may be associated with staying or switching to a no receiver assistance mode. The LBT mode is associated with staying or switching to a receiver assistance mode.

Abstract: Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) management for new radio may be achieved through indication of a maximum number of beams for beamforming and/or through mechanisms for handling plural candidate SSBs. For example, a User Equipment (UE) may search a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and/or a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) to decode a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) payload comprising and indication of a maximum number of beams (Q) supporting beamforming, e.g., in new radio unlicensed spectrum, and determine, based the indicator, Quasi Co-Located (QCL) Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs). Similarly, a UE may determine, from the PBCH payload, a primary DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) from which the UE may determine selection bits for an SSB. The UE may also determine, based a frequency range in use, to perform a secondary detection and based on the secondary detection, alter selection bits for accessing the SSB index.
