Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed for enhancing timing relationships in non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), e.g., by managing timing offset values and intelligently handling reporting failure relating to timing information reporting. To accommodate increased propagation delay in NTNs, a user equipment (UE) may supplement its timing advance (TA) value with component values representing roundtrip times to the satellite. The UE may maintain both open-loop and closed-loop portions of the TA value, and may report the TA value, or components thereof, to the network for timing synchronization. Methods and systems are also disclosed for failure handling in this reporting process.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for enhancing non-PMI based CSI reporting for NC-JT in multi-TRP operations, including addressing channel CRI reporting, CQI reporting, RI reporting, and CSI processing complexity and timeline in NC-JT multi-TRP operations. For example, a UE may receive, from a base station, a configuration for a first set of CSI-RS resources for a first TRP (associated with single TRP operation), a second set of CSI-RS resources for a second TRP (associated with single TRP operation), and a third set of pairs of CSI-RS resources for the first TRP and second TRP (associated with multi-TRP operation). The UE may report, to the base station, a CRI report indicating whether the UE prefers single TRP operation from the first TRP or the second TRP, or multi-TRP operation from the first TRP and the second TRP. The CRI report may be based on the configuration.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods to dynamically indicate preference for self-contained slots and slot duration by a user equipment device (UE) in communication with a base station (e.g., a gNB) using a 5G NR radio access technology. A UE may determine to send an indication to a gNB indicating a preference for self-contained slots and slot duration for downlink and/or uplink communications utilizing one or more of the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and/or acknowledgement messaging (ACK/NACK) for downlink communications, and utilizing one or more of the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), the PDCCH, and/or the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for uplink communications. The configuration of self-contained slots and slot duration for uplink and/or downlink may be based on one or more of average packet size, average packet rate, traffic type and UE processing capabilities.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device comprising a processor configured to perform operations is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the operations include comprising establishing a sidelink session with a transmitting UE; configuring the sidelink session to support coordinated resource selection prior to performing the local sensing; performing a local sensing; receiving a PSCCH and a PSSCH from the transmitting UE. The transmitting UE reserves multiple resources. The processor is further configured to perform operations including determining whether a collision happens among the multiple reserved resources; and transmitting the coordination message to the transmitting UE.

Abstract: Aspects disclosed herein include devices, circuits, and methods for configuring reference signal (RS) measurements for a wireless device, comprising: determining, by a user equipment (UE), that an aperiodic channel state information reference signal (AP-CSI-RS) for Layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) measurement occasion is overlapping with one or more Layer 3 (L3) RS measurement occasions; determining that the UE is not able to make measurements for both the AP-CSI-RS for L1-RSRP measurement occasion and the one or more overlapping L3 RS measurement occasions; and prioritizing, by the UE, making the measurement for the AP-CSI-RS for L1-RSRP. Other aspects include a wireless network configured to determine that a UE is not able to make both an AP-CSI-RS for L1-RSRP measurement and a L3 RS measurement in an overlapping measurement occasion and, in response, configuring either the AP-CSI-RS for L1-RSRP or the L3 RS measurement to avoid the overlapping measurement occasion.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform methods for enhancing uplink (UL) repetitions for an associated transport block. A user equipment device (UE) may be configured to transmit an indication of cancellation of remaining UL repetitions to a network, e.g., to a network entity, such as a base station, e.g., based, at least in part, on monitored channel conditions. Additionally, a network, e.g., a network entity such as a base station, may be configured to transmit an indication of cancellation of remaining UL repetitions to a UE, e.g., based on successful reception of the associated transport block.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to handling preemptive data services in cellular wireless transmissions. In some embodiments, a device receives a first downlink control information (DCI) message on resources in a first frequency band, where the first DCI message indicates resources for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. In some embodiments, the device monitors a downlink control channel on a second frequency band, disjoint from the first frequency band. In some embodiments, subsequent to reception of the first DCI message, the detects an indicator in the downlink control channel and reduces the PUSCH transmission in response to the detection.

Abstract: Inter-cell mobility may include decoding a first radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message received from a first cell. The first RRC reconfiguration message may comprise a first portion of configuration information for performing a cell change to a second cell. A cell change message received from the first cell may be decoded. The cell change message may indicate that a cell change to the second cell is to be performed. A cell change acknowledgment may be encoded for transmission to the second cell. A second RRC reconfiguration message received from the second cell may be decoded. The second RRC reconfiguration message may comprise a second portion of configuration information for performing the cell change to the second cell. The second portion of configuration information may comprise a remaining portion of configuration information to perform the cell change to the second cell.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for sidelink (SL) capability exchange via a PC5 link between first and second UEs for configuring inter-UE coordination (IUC). In one embodiment, a method entails generating a radio resource control (RRC) message for the second UE, the RRC message including information to identify supported IUC types of the first UE or provide an indication of which resource allocation mode is supported for IUC; signaling with a first SL unicast transmission to the second UE the RRC message; and receiving through a second SL unicast transmission from the second UE the SL capability of the second UE to configure IUC. Also disclosed are techniques for IUC with a UE configured for mode 1 (network-controlled) sidelink (SL) resource allocation.
