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: An apparatus, method, system and machine-readable medium. The apparatus may be an apparatus of a New Radio (NR) gNodeB or of a NR User Equipment (UE), and may include a memory and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry for the apparatus of the gNodeB is to: configure a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) associated with respective numerologies; determine a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including downlink control information (DCI), the DCI including information on scheduled resources including BWP index for a data transmission to or from a User Equipment (UE), the data transmission to occupy one of the plurality of BWPs or multiple ones of the plurality of BWPs; encode the PDCCH for transmission; and process the data transmission based on the DCI. The apparatus of the NR UE is to: process a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) from a NR gNodeB, the PDCCH including downlink control information (DCI) indicating scheduled resources for a data transmission to or from the UE, the data transmission to occupy one or multiple ones of a plurality of BWPs configured by the gNodeB; and process the data transmission based on the DCI.

Abstract: A base station may transmit beam indication information to one or more user equipment (UE) devices. For each of a plurality of time units (e.g., symbols) in a time interval (e.g., spanning one or more slots), the beam indication information indicates a corresponding beam that the base station will use to transmit or receive. A UE device may have knowledge of the beam in which it currently resides, e.g., by performing power measurements during a beam scan procedure. Thus, the beam indication information enables the UE to perform transmissions and/or receptions (e.g., configured transmissions and/or receptions) during the appropriate time unit(s). The beam indication information may be dynamically transmitted as part of downlink control information. This transmission may omni-directional, wide beam, or narrow beam. Various schemes of encoding the beam indication information are contemplated.

Abstract: In an example method, a user equipment (UE) device determines an offset length of time associated with transmitting or receiving data over a wireless network. The UE device transmits an indication of the offset length of time to the wireless network. The UE device transmits or receives, during a first time interval, a first portion of data to or from the wireless network though a first wireless link. The UE device transmits or receives, during a second time interval, a second portion of data to or from the wireless network though a second wireless link. An end of first time interval is offset from a beginning of the second time interval by the offset length of time.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may attempt to access a base station of a network. The UE receives, from the base station of a wireless network, a broadcast including a system information block (SIB) identifying a plurality of random access channel (RACH) sub-bands of an uplink (UL) bandwidth and which of the plurality of RACH sub-bands includes physical random access channel (PRACH) resources. The base station selects one of the plurality of RACH sub-bands for a PRACH transmission and selects a preamble from the selected RACH sub-band and transmit the preamble to the base station to initiate a RACH procedure.

Abstract: A sidelink transmission and an uplink transmission that is carrying a sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) are both scheduled for transmission in a shared time window. If a priority associated with the sidelink HARQ is considered to be higher than a priority associated with the sidelink transmission, then a higher priority is assigned to the uplink transmission, regardless of whether the uplink transmission contains other uplink data. Otherwise, if the uplink transmission does not carry other uplink data, then the higher priority is assigned to the sidelink transmission. Greater transmission resources are given to the transmission with the higher priority.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured for half-duplex operations with a network. The UE determines that half-duplex (HD) frequency division duplex (FDD) is enabled by a network with which the UE is communicating, wherein a guard period is configured for downlink and uplink switching when the HD FDD is enabled, performs a first uplink transmission at a first time and performs a first downlink reception at a second time, wherein the guard period represents a time duration between the first time and the second time during which the UE is not to perform a second different uplink transmission or a second different downlink reception.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the collision of the triggered SRS resource sets (such as, the SRS resource set being triggered too early or the triggered SRS resource sets being overlapped in time and/or frequency domain) may be well handled, and the configuring and updating procedures for SRS resource may be more flexible.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE), a base station (e.g., next generation NodeB (gNB)), or other network component can operate to configure a beam failure recovery (BFR) timing based on a time offset and a number of symbols in a BFR procedure, as well as enable beam switching and bandwidth part (BWP) switching to be correlated. A beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) can be processed or transmitted in response to a detection of a beam failure. A beam failure recovery response (BFRR) can be generated via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on at least four slots after the BFRQ and a time offset for a non-terrestrial network (NTN).

Abstract: A base station configures a user equipment (UE) to monitor a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). The base station receives, from the UE, a reduced PDCCH monitoring capability for at least one group of search space sets (SSS) of a PDCCH, determines a reduced monitoring capability (MO) configuration for the UE based on the reported reduced PDCCH monitoring capability and transmits the reduced MO configuration to the UE.
