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: An example method for wireless communication includes: configuring a wireless device to access a wireless network using a set of at least three components carriers (CCs); dividing the at least three component carriers into groups of component carriers based on whether the component carriers share a span pattern and a starting span for monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of each component carrier; determining a number of non-overlapping control channel elements (CCE) to monitor for each group of component carriers; and configuring the wireless device to monitor the non-overlapping CCEs based on the determined number to monitor for each group.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate improved security establishment procedures for Vehicle to Everything (V2X) direct connections. Various embodiments are employable at or comprise User Equipment, and can initiate and/or receive V2X security establishment connections wherein a receiving UE can reject the connection based on the initiating UE's capabilities/policy and/or the initiating UE can make the final decision regarding the connection based at least on receiving security policy and capability information from the receiving UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. SSB based inter-frequency measurements may include configuring a UE to perform inter-frequency measurements without measurement gap within a measurement window, and applying scheduling restrictions to prioritize the inter-frequency measurements over uplink transmissions within the measurement window. The measurement window includes an SMTC window duration. Measurement resource sharing or restriction is described for SSB based inter-frequency measurement objects without measurement gap.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate successful decoding of Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) based on a reduced number of retransmissions. Based on a given PDSCH, embodiments discussed herein can communicate feedback (e.g., Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) feedback, Channel State Information (CSI) feedback) that indicates an amount of additional information that can allow a User Equipment (UE) to successfully decode the PDSCH. In some embodiments, the feedback can indicate a requested Redundancy Version (RV) sequence that can allow the UE to successfully decode the PDSCH. In other embodiments, the feedback can indicate the amount of additional information, based on which a receiving Base Station (BS) can select a RV sequence.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to performing cellular communication using a control information monitoring framework. A wireless device may monitor a control channel for control information according to a first periodic pattern. According to the first periodic pattern, the wireless device may monitor the control channel in a specified slot during each period of the first periodic pattern. Each period of the first periodic pattern may include multiple slots. The wireless device may receive control information during a first slot. The first slot may be a specified slot according to the first periodic pattern. The control information received during the first slot may schedule a data communication. The wireless device may monitor the control channel for control information in at least one slot that is not specified according to the first periodic pattern based at least in part on receiving control information during a specified slot according to the first periodic pattern.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device may reside in a state of dual connectivity with a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG), wherein the radio access technologies of the MCG and the SCG are different. While in the dual connectivity state, the UE device may transition to a mode of reduced activity (e.g., processing and/or RF activity) relative to the secondary cell group (SCG) in order to save power, e.g., when traffic flow via the SCG is below a threshold, or when scheduling activity on the SCG is low. Various mechanisms may be employed to reduce activity, e.g., mechanisms such as reduction of beam monitoring, deactivation of secondary cells of the SCG, reduction of number of active antenna elements, employment of longer periods for periodic measurement and reporting processes, etc.
