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: A user equipment (UE) is configured to perform measurements during two or more measurement gaps (MGs). The UE receives a MG configuration, wherein the MG configuration includes multiple MGs and MG conflict resolution information, determines whether a conflict exists between two or more of the MGs, selects at least one of the two or more MGs that have the conflict based on the MG conflict resolution information and performs signal measurements during the selected at least one of the two or more MGs that have the conflict.

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: Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE). The UE may performs at least one of: monitoring physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) in a Type0-PDCCH common search space (CSS) set over one or two consecutive slots, starting from a slot index n_0, with a 480 kHz or 960 kHz subcarrier spacing (SCS); transmitting, to a base station (BS), a report of a UE capability related to search space configurations for multi-slot PDCCH monitoring; or performing a monitoring occasion (MO) shifting operation for a first group of search space (SS) sets in response to a determination that a second group of SS sets is updated.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for beam indication latency reduction via symbol level beam sweeping capability reporting. A wireless device may transmit, to a base station, a report associated with symbol level beam sweeping. The wire wireless device may receive, from the base station, a symbol level beam sweeping configuration. The symbol level beam sweeping configuration may be based, at least in part, on the report. The wireless device may perform synchronization signal block (SSB) measurements according to the report and the symbol level beam sweeping configuration.
