Abstract: A user equipment (UE) comprising a processor configured to perform the operations that determines an uplink (UL) slot is described. In exemplary embodiments, the UE receives, from a base station, a scaling factor through a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) signal. The UE may further determines an offset through a second RRC signal. In addition, the UE may receive from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) that includes an indication of an initial time gap. Furthermore, the UE may calculate a new time gap by at least applying the scaling factor to the initial time gap and determine a slot of uplink transmission based on at least the new time gap and the offset.

Abstract: A method for wireless communication includes: receiving, at a base station: (1) a capability report for each of a plurality of antenna panels of a first user device; and (2) an initial antenna panel index for the first user device; transmitting, to the first user device, configuration information corresponding to each antenna panel of the plurality; selecting first configuration information corresponding to the antenna panel with the initial antenna panel index; and receiving a first uplink transmission from the first user device, wherein the first user device uses a selected first antenna panel corresponding to the initial antenna panel index and the first configuration information corresponding to the selected first antenna panel. In other aspects, rather than initially transmitting configuration information corresponding to each antenna panel, the base station may transmit the configuration information for each panel as it is selected by the first user device for an uplink transmission.

Abstract: An example technique for security key derivation in a wireless system includes: receiving a radio resource control (RRC) suspend message from a first node, the RRC suspend message including a first next hop (NH) chaining counter (NCC) value, entering a RRC inactive state, deriving a first node key based on the first NCC value, generating a first uplink message for transmission in the RRC inactive state based on the first node key, and transmitting the first uplink message to a node while in the RRC inactive state.

Abstract: In an example method, a user equipment (UE) device receives a plurality of Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) beams transmitted by base stations (BSes) during discovery burst transmission windows (DBTWs). For each of the SSB beams, the UE device determines an index value of the SSB beam (lSSB) within a respective one of the DBTWs, and determines a value Z=lSSB mod NSSDQCL, where NSSBQCL represents a maximum allowable number of SSB beams transmitted by each of the BSes during a single DBTW. The UE device determines whether two or more of the SSB beams are quasi co-located based on the values Z for the SSB beams, and processes wireless signals received from the BSes based on the determination.

Abstract: Systems and methods using control signaling for uplink frequency selective precoding at a user equipment (UE) are disclosed herein. A base station may indicate a transmission rank indicator (TRI), a wideband transmission precoder matrix indicator (TPMI), and one or more subband TPMI(s) to the UE. The base station may indicate, to the UE, whether to use the wideband TPMI or a subband TPMI to precode a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission from the UE to the base station. The UE then precodes (and transmits) the PUSCH accordingly. Methods of UE application of the indicated subband TPMI(s) to subbands of the bandwidth in which a PUSCH may be transmitted are described. Methods accounting for a UE capability as to non-coherent, partial-coherent, and/or coherent precoding are described. Methods of assigning TPMI(s) to subbands in view of multiple transmission reception point (TRP) use by the UE for UE transmission are described.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for configuring default beams by a base station are disclosed and include determining configuration information that specifies a default Physical Uplink Control Channel/Sounding Reference Signal (PUCCH/SRS) beam and pathloss Reference Signal (RS) for a User Equipment (UE), and transmitting to the UE the configuration information identifying a default configuration for the default PUCCH/SRS beam and pathloss reference signal (RS). The default PUCCH/SRS beam and pathloss RS configured by the UE are based on the configuration information and a monitored Control Resource Set (CORESET) with a lowest CORESET identifier (ID) selected among a set of CORESETs in a same Bandwidth Part (BWP). The monitored CORESET selected may include two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. The default PUCCH/SRS beam and pathloss RS configured is based on a TCI first among the two TCI states or a TCI state with a lowest ID among the two TCI states.
