Abstract: A user equipment (UE) monitors for a synchronization signal block (SSB) to synchronize with a cell of a network. The UE monitors a frequency band during a discovery reference signal (DRS) window for a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by a cell of the network, determines an SSB index based on information received from the cell of the network and synchronizes with the cell based on the SSB index.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing multi-transmission and reception point operation in a wireless communication system. A plurality of transmission control indication states may be indicated for future use, e.g., using one or more separately identified lists. A subset of the indicated states may be activated. One or more states of the subset may be used for performing multi-transmission and reception point operation in a single downlink control information mode.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) implementing power control for a 2-step random access channel (RACH) procedure is provided. The UE determines a first transmission power of a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble to be used during a 2-step RACH procedure. The UE determines a second transmission power of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission to be used during the 2-step RACH procedure based on the first transmission power of the PRACH preamble. The UE then performs the 2-step RACH procedure based on the first transmission power of the PRACH preamble and the second transmission power of the PUSCH transmission. The UE switches to a 4-step RACH procedure from the 2-step RACH procedure based on a determination that the PRACH preamble was successfully detected and the PUSCH transmission was falsely detected, and performs the 4-step RACH procedure based on the first transmission power of the PRACH preamble.

Abstract: Approaches for performing Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmissions include receiving, by a user equipment (UE) from a base station, an indicator of a plurality of precoders corresponding to M Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetitions, wherein M is an integer. A plurality of precoders corresponding to two or more of the M PUSCH repetitions are indicated. The UE configures the plurality of precoders based on the indicator and transmits one or more of the M Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetitions corresponding to one or more of the plurality of precoders. The indicator can be provided in higher layer signaling. One or more transmission rank indicator (TRIs) and transmission precoder matrix indicators (TPMIs) for the M PUSCH repetitions can be provided. The indicator can be provided in a scheduling downlink control indicator (DCI) communication. The indicator can also be provided within N sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator(s) (SRIs) of the scheduling DCI.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform methods for triggering a change in beam configuration based on UL beam conditions. The UE may detect an unsafe UL beam condition for an UL beam based, at least in part, on an MPE level being exceeded by the UL beam. In response to the detection, remedial actions that to alleviate the unsafe UL beam condition may be performed. The remedial actions may prioritize UL beam quality over DL beam quality and may include reducing a transmit power of the UL beam based on an MPR, triggering an intra-panel antenna switch to a candidate UL beam that satisfies one or more conditions for intra-panel beam switching, triggering an inter-panel antenna switch to a candidate UL beam that satisfies one or more conditions for intra-panel beam switching, and/or signaling a beam failure to a network serving the UE.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems to coordinate resource allocation between two UEs for sidelink communication. A receiving UE receiving sidelink communication from a transmitting UE may configure coordination resources used to coordinate sidelink communication between the two UEs. The receiving UE may receive from the transmitting UE data indicating resources reserved and intended to be used by the transmitting UE to transmit sidelink data to the receiving UE. The receiving UE may determine a coordination message used to indicate whether the resources reserved by the transmitting UE are available for use by the receiving UE to receive the sidelink data from the transmitting UE. The receiving UE may determine resources from the coordination resources to be used to carry the coordination message and may transmit the coordination message carried on the selected resources to indicate to the transmitting UE whether to use the reserved resources for the sidelink data.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing wireless communications including signaling resource allocation for multiple transport blocks (TBs) on either PUSCH or PDSCH using a single control element, such as a DCI. In various scenarios, the multiple TBs may be scheduled either at contiguous or at non-contiguous dime-domain resources. Various mechanisms are disclosed for performing signaling the resource allocation for the multiple TBs without introducing excessive signaling overhead.
