Abstract: A cellular base station (BS) which transmits more flexible downlink control information (DCI) to the UE, and a UE capable of receiving and processing a received DCI message. The DCI message may have a DCI format of 0_1 or 0_2 and further may comprise an UL-SCH set to 0, a CSI request field of all 0s and an SRS request field having a nonzero value. The DCI message may indicate to the UE that the UE should: 1) transmit an aperiodic SRS corresponding to SRS request; and 2) that the UE should not transmit on the PUSCH. The DCI may include existing fields that specify either a slot offset or beam information useable when transmitting the aperiodic SRS. The base station may also generate a DCI message with an SRS trigger that is targeted to a plurality of UEs in a group, or a plurality of groups of UEs, for greater efficiency.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for a user equipment device (UE) performing a quasi-colocation (QCL) update in a wireless communication system. The UE may receive an indication to change a spatial relationship for transmission/reception. The UE may receive aperiodic reference signals for use in beam tracking according to the new spatial relationship. The UE may also receive provide aperiodic reference signals for time, frequency, and/or phase tracking. Thus, the UE may change to the new spatial relationship and use the aperiodic reference signals to quickly complete initial tracking operations.

The UE may receive multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) uplink configuration information from the base station. The MIMO configuration information may indicate a plurality of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources. The UE may receive downlink control information (DCI) from the base station, which may specify a plurality of MIMO parameters. The UE may perform uplink MIMO communication with the base station according to the MIMO configuration and the plurality of MIMO parameters.

Abstract: Transmission of uplink demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) may be dynamically adapted for mobile devices. Downlink control information (DCI) that schedules uplink transmission(s) of the mobile device may include an information element (IE) corresponding to a DMRS to be transmitted by the UE during the uplink transmission(s). The IE enables the mobile device to determine when to transmit DMRSs during the scheduled uplink transmission(s). The mobile device may identify a corresponding DMRS pattern indicated by the IE, with the DMRS pattern defining how many DMRSs to transmit during the uplink transmission(s), how many DMRSs to transmit in a given time interval (TTI) bundle in the uplink transmission(s), how many DMRSs to transmit in a given repetition of the TTI bundle, and/or where the relative position(s) of the DMRSs are within the given repetition and the given TTI bundle. The DMRS patterns may be configured for the mobile device via higher layer signaling or may be hard-coded.

Abstract: A wireless communication system may adapt physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring behaviors using downlink control information (DCI). The change in monitoring behavior may be skipping or switching. The timeline for applying switching or skipping may be applied after a reference point and a processing time. In some embodiments, the processing time may be either based on UE processing, network processing, or a combination.

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: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing transmission of nominal repetitions of data over an unlicensed spectrum. One or more nominal repetitions of data are to be transmitted by a user equipment (UE) over an unlicensed spectrum used for both uplink and downlink transmissions. The one or more nominal repetitions of the data are segmented into multiple actual repetitions of portions of the data. The UE identifies an orphan symbol in an actual repetition of the multiple actual repetitions of portions of the data, and determines a filler symbol to replace the orphan symbol in the actual repetition. In addition, the UE transmits the multiple actual repetitions including the filler symbol in replacement of the orphan symbol to a base station over the unlicensed spectrum.
