    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to communicate with one or more transmission and reception points (TRPs). The UE receives a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set configuration including a first resource set corresponding to a first transmission and reception point (TRP) and a second resource set corresponding to a second TRP, receives a downlink control information (DCI) transmission including an SRS resource indicator (SRI) indicating (i) which resource from the first resource set should be selected for a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission to a first TRP, and (ii) which resource from the second resource set should be selected for a second PUSCH transmission to a second TRP and transmits the first PUSCH transmission to the first TRP and the second PUSCH transmission to the second TRP.

    Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing unified RACH for multiple features. For example, some aspects of this disclosure relate to a method including determining, by a user equipment (UE), a feature to be indicated at an initial access of the UE to a base station and determining whether the UE and the base station support feature specific random access (RA) procedure for the feature. The method further includes determining whether a condition for the feature is satisfied in response to determining that both the UE and the base station support the feature specific RA procedure for the feature. In response to determining that the condition is satisfied, the method includes selecting a feature specific Random Access Channel (RACH) resource and perform a 4-step RA procedure or a 2-step RA procedure based on the selected feature specific RACH resource.

    Abstract: This application relates to wireless communications, including methods and apparatus to manage uplink (UL) transmit switching with multiple timing advance groups (TAGs) for wireless devices. A wireless device is configured to use multiple carriers selected from a set of available carriers that can be associated with different TAGs. When a second set of carriers, used after switching from a first set of carriers, includes carriers that belong to different TAGs, the wireless device determines whether to transmit on one or more first uplink transmission occasions for each of the carriers in the second set of carriers based on whether a first UL transmission occasion for at least one carrier overlaps a switching gap time period. The wireless device can disallow transmission on first UL transmission occasions of one or more carriers to accommodate the overlap.

    Abstract: This application relates to wireless communications, including methods and apparatus to manage uplink (UL) transmit switching with multiple timing advance groups (TAGs) for wireless devices. A wireless device is configured to select N≥2 radio frequency carriers for UL transmission from M>N available radio frequency carriers and subsequently send UL transmissions to a cellular wireless network based on the configuration. The M available radio frequency carriers are divided into distinct TAGs, each TAG having a distinct timing advance value, and the N radio frequency carriers belong to a single TAG. The wireless device is further configured to switch to a second set of N UL radio frequency carriers, after an uplink switching gap time period, based on a TAG medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), received the cellular wireless network, which specifies a second TAG from which to select the second set of N UL radio frequency carriers.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for implementing Channel State information (CSI) feedback for multi-Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmissions in a wireless communication system. Some embodiments enable a user equipment (UE) to determine Channel Quality Indicators (CQI) and/or Precoding Matrix Indicators (PMI) for multi-PDSCH transmissions that account for effects of a duration of the multi-PDSCH transmission including the maximum interval between the first and last PDSCH transmissions on the CQI and PMI determinations. Some embodiments include a base station that detects a need for a change in a beam direction and adjusts the beam direction accordingly based on the PMI determinations. Some embodiments enable a desired hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-ACK feedback transmission from a single multi-PDSCH transmission. Some embodiments include performing HARQ bundling with an update to the Type 1 HARQ-ACK codebook based on the multi-PDSCH transmission.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured to report Channel State Information (CSI) to a wireless network. The UE transmits a first sounding reference signal (SRS) on an uplink (UL) channel, receives a first channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) on a downlink (DL) channel, wherein the first CSI-RS includes a first configuration of CSI-RS parameters based on the first SRS, performs first CSI-RS measurements based on the first configuration of CSI-RS parameters, transmits a first CSI report including the first CSI-RS measurements, transmits a second SRS on the UL channel, receives a second CSI-RS on the DL channel, wherein the second CSI-RS includes a second configuration of CSI-RS parameters based on the second SRS, performs second CSI-RS measurements based on the second configuration of CSI-RS parameters and transmits a second CSI report including the second CSI-RS measurements.
