Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a terminal device configured to perform the following. Initially, the terminal device monitors physical downlink control channel, PDCCH, transmissions according to a first set of rules. The first set of rules comprises rules for performing monitoring over at least two beam pair links, each beam pair link corresponding to a control resource set, CORESET, with a different active transmission configuration indication, TCI, state. The terminal device receives, using a first CORESET with a first active TCI state from an access node, an indication for limiting monitoring and consequently limits monitoring of PDCCH transmissions associated with CORESETs having a TCI state other than the first active TCI state for a period of time.

Abstract: Various techniques are provided for method including determining, by a first node, a time domain timing structure that supports bi-directional communication, initiating a communication from the first node to a second node based on the timing structure, sending an indication from the first node to the second node, the indication being configured to cause a time gap in the timing structure and the indication indicates that the time gap is followed by communicating a number of symbols, during which the first node continues to transmit to any device other than the second node, generating the time gap in the timing structure, and continuing the timing structure by the first node.

Abstract: A method may include determining a slot for hybrid automatic repeat request feedback based on one or more downlink assignments. The method may also include determining one or more sets of communication channels with associated start and length indicators for which hybrid automatic repeat requests will be bundled based on a resource assignment table and a hybrid automatic repeat request bundling configuration parameter. The method may further include determining one or more sets of candidate communication channel slots based on K1 values and the resource assignment table. Further, the method may include selecting a start and length indicator for each communication channel set from a corresponding resource assignment row. The method may also include removing unselected start and length indicators and candidate communication channel slots without a selected start and length indicator.
