Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure enable a user equipment (UE) to performing inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT) measurements. The UE determines whether one or more inter-RAT measurement object (MO) is configured with or without a measurement gap (MG). When the one or more inter-RAT MO is on an NR serving component carrier (CC) with the MG, the UE performs an inter-RAT measurement on the NR serving CC based on whether the MG is fully overlapped or partially overlapped with synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) of a target MO of the one or more inter-RAT MO. When the one or more inter-RAT MO is on the NR serving CC without the MG, the UE performs the inter-RAT measurement on the NR serving CC based on whether a target SSB of the target MO is within or outside an active bandwidth part (BWP) of the NR serving CC.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus to process delay for PDCCH repetition. A transmission of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition may be monitored. A multiplexing pattern of the PDCCH repetition and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) within an overlapping symbol may be determined. A processing delay for a decoding of the PDCCH repetition, a decoding of the scheduled PDSCH, and an acknowledgement (ACK) preparation based on the multiplexing pattern of the PDCCH repetition and the PDSCH within the overlapping symbol may be determined. The PDSCH may be monitored after receiving the PDCCH repetition.

Abstract: Aspects are described for a user equipment (UE) comprising a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a base station and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to determine one or more configured grant (CG) transport blocks (TBs) of one or more CG uplink transmissions and determine one or more dynamic grant (DG) TBs of one or more DG uplink transmissions. The processor is further configured to determine that a first CG TB of the one or more CG TBs overlaps with a first DG TB of the one or more DG TBs in time and determine that a priority level of the first CG TB is lower than a priority level of the DG TB. The processor is further configured to determine that the priority level of the first CG TB is lower than the priority level of the first DG TB and transmit, in the first DG TB, a first DG uplink transmission corresponding to the first DG TB.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform methods for configuring a power savings signal in fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) networks. The wireless device may transmit, to a base station within a network, power savings requirements and receiving, from the base station, a configuration of a power saving signal, where the configuration indicates one or more functionalities of the power saving signal. The wireless device may periodically receive, from the base station, the power saving signal and interpret the power saving signal based on the configuration. The configuration of the power saving signal may be received via radio resource control signaling.

Abstract: A base station (BS) may receive a plurality of repetitions of a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) from a user equipment (UE), and accumulate the received repetitions to obtain a resultant signal. The ability to accumulate repetitions enables the base station to experience a higher probability of successful recovery of the PUCCH payload bits than if decoding were based on the reception of a non-repeated transmission of the PUCCH. The base station may configure the number of repetitions, the temporal gap between the repetitions, and mode of repetition of the PUCCH. In an intra-slot mode, more than one copy may be received from each configured slot, with or without frequency hopping. In an inter-slot mode, one copy is received per configured slot. Different repetitions may be transmitted by the UE in different directions, according to a spatial consistency pattern.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product for radio resource management (RRM) scaling factor enhancement without measurement gaps (MGs) in an E-UTRA-New Radio (NR) Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) network. Some embodiments include a user equipment (UE) that receives from a Primary Node (PN), a first NR measurement object (MO) without MG associated with a frequency. The UE receives from a Secondary Node (SN), a second NR MO without MG associated with the same frequency. The UE allocates resources based on a Primary Secondary Component Carrier (PSCC) and determines a scaling factor for determining a total procedure period for obtaining measurements to satisfy the first and the second NR MO without MG. Some embodiments include combining counts of NR MO without MG at a same frequency. Some embodiments include coordination between the PN and the SN so that MOs without MG at a common frequency satisfy the merging rule.

Abstract: A wireless communication network schedules multiple components carriers on a same frequency band to user equipment (UE) for transmitting wireless signals. The network may indicate to the UE when to use each carrier, and the UE my switch between transmitting on each carrier. The UE may transmit multiple different signals on each carrier. In particular, the UE may include a local oscillator (LO) that generates a first frequency of a first carrier, and couple the LO to the transmission paths when transmitting using the first carrier. The UE may then cause the LO to generate a second of a second carrier, and couple the LO to the transmission paths when transmitting using the second carrier. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may include a second LO that generates the second frequency, and couple the second LO to the transmission paths when transmitting using the second carrier.

Abstract: Various systems and methods disclosed herein describe improvements for beam management that leverage virtualization across a vertical polarization (V-Pol) and horizontal polarization (H-Pol). One or more of a user equipment (UE) and a base station may include an antenna array comprising both V-Pol and H-Pol antenna elements. A UE may message a base station to configure uplink (UL) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) operations across one or more of the V-Pol and the H-Pol. The message may include a number of MIMO layers to be concurrently used for communicating data to the base station, where each MIMO layer is transmitted using one of a V-Pol and an H-Pol; a number of sounding reference signals (SRS) to be transmitted by the UE, each SRS to be transmitted using one of the V-Pol and the H-Pol; and a supported maximum number of antenna ports per each SRS.
