Abstract: A user equipment (UE), or other network device (e.g., next generation NodeB (gNB)) component can operate to process or configure a search space information element (IE) that is configured with at least one of: a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state identifier (ID) of a TCI, or a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition field indicating a number of PDCCH repetitions, or a number of UE-specific search space (USS) repetitions for the PDCCH. A UE can perform search space set group (SSSG) beam switching based on one or more TCI states and at least one of: a search space set (SSS) index, an SSSG index, or a beam switching request (BSR) field value. A physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) associated with the search space can be transmitted for beam switching according to a search space information element.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for triggering and using uplink gaps in cellular networks. A method of an embodiment comprises: transmitting, to a base station, an indication of an uplink (UL) gap capability or preference of the UE for body proximity sensing (BPS) or transceiver calibration; activating a UL gap configuration based on an activation command received from a network; and performing operations for BPS or transceiver calibration within a UL gap defined by the UL gap configuration.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to perform measurements on reference signals based on concurrent measurement gaps. In an example, a device supports concurrent measurement gaps for intra-RAT measurements. The device can also indicate to a network whether it supports concurrent measurement gaps for inter-RAT measurements. Based on this indication, the network can configure measurement gap patterns and measurement objects for the UE to perform intra-RAT measurements and, as applicable, inter-RAT measurements.

Abstract: Aspects are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for measurement gap configuration. A cellular network may establish communication with a UE using a first and second cell. The cellular network may configure bandwidth parts (BWPs) for the first and second cell, including a first and second BWP for the first cell and a third and fourth BWP for the second cell. A measurement gap configuration that specifies when the UE is to use a first measurement gap pattern may be provided to the UE. At a first time, the cellular network may communicate with the UE using the first BWP for the first cell and the third BWP for the second cell, based on the first measurement gap pattern. At a second time, the cellular network may communicate with the UE using the second BWP for the first cell based on a modification of the first measurement gap pattern.

Abstract: An approach to communication by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system that includes the UE sending an RRC setup request message including a paging offset value to a base station. The UE receives an RRC setup message from the network node, the RRC setup message including a PS-paging offset value and a PS-P-RNTI value associated with the UE. Energy conservation approaches for use with paging are described, including paging occasion monitor reporting and configuration, paging-offset reporting, the use of a paging monitoring skipping signal, and the use of dynamic TRS triggering for paging reception.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for configuring, performing, and reporting neighbor cell measurements in a wireless communication system. A base station of a serving cell may provide configuration information relevant to performing layer 1 (L1) measurements based on reference signals of one or more neighbor cells. A UE may perform L1 inter-frequency measurements of the neighbor cell(s) based on the configuration. The UE may report the measurements.
