Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein use channel state information (CSI) reports from a user equipment (UE) having additional CSI beyond CSI directly derived according to a current MIMO configuration between a base station and the UE. In some embodiments, a channel quality indicator (CQI) according to a selected layer of a plurality of layers used to receive the MIMO transmission as determined relative to the MIMO transmission is reported. In some embodiments, a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) according to a selected layer of a plurality of layers useable to receive rank 1 transmissions is reported along with a CQI determined according to that layer, or according to a layer used to receive the MIMO transmission as determined relative to the MIMO transmission. In some embodiments, a base station configures a UE to report more fulsome CSI according to each of a plurality of ranks.

Abstract: Dynamic scheduling can be performed by 5G new radio in the licensed or unlicensed band. A base station can poll user equipment (UE) by transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) or other downlink communication that indicates resources that a UE can use to send a scheduling request. The resources are dynamic, e.g., they can be updated and allocated to UEs based on network conditions. Other aspects are described.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for overhead reduction for multi-carrier beam selection and power control. A user equipment device (UE) may receive an uplink beam configuration for a group of component carriers and may communicate using the uplink beam configuration for the group of component carriers. The UE may receive an updated uplink beam configuration for the group of component carriers. The update uplink beam configuration may include a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) that may update a pathloss reference signal for the group of component carriers.

Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capable wireless device configured to perform sidelink cellular communications. The wireless device performs sidelink communications using a two-stage sidelink control information (SCI) protocol including Stage 1 SCI messaging carried on a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), and Stage 2 SCI messaging carried on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH). The SCI messaging may be encoded using polar codes. Channel interleaving is utilized on the SCI to interleave the SCI between two or more layers of a MIMO transmission system. Scrambling for Stage 2 SCI messaging is performed based on the result of a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) performed on Stage 1 SCI messaging. Collisions between sidelink HARQ feedback to be transmitted to a base station and other transmissions are avoided based on a priority analysis of the sidelink HARQ feedback.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for performing sidelink communication. An example method includes receiving, via frequency and time resources of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), from a second UE, a signal encoding a sequence of bits corresponding to sidelink control information (SCI) stage 2; decoding the sequence of bits based on a SCI stage 2 scrambling initialization value (Cinit) to generate SCI stage 2 for a transport block (TB), wherein Cinit is determined based on at least a portion of a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code; and receiving the TB from the first UE based on the SCI stage 2.
