    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for a user equipment (UE) to control sidelink power allocation on multiple carriers. The UE determines, from among a plurality of physical sidelink feedback channels (PSFCHs) scheduled for simultaneous transmission on the multiple carriers, prioritized PSFCHs to simultaneously transmit across the multiple carriers based at least in part on a capability of the UE for a maximum number of simultaneous PSFCH transmissions per carrier of the multiple carriers and a total transmission power PCMAX of the UE, where j is an index of a jth-carrier of the multiple carriers. The UE determines allocated transmission power for the prioritized PSFCHs. Then, the UE simultaneously transmits the prioritized PSFCHs on the multiple carriers according to the allocated transmission power.

    Abstract: An approach for wireless communications to support reduced capability New Radio (NR) with larger available control resource sets (CORESET) bandwidths. Examples include a frequency-hopping CORESET with a predefined hopping pattern configured by higher layers, such as RRC signaling or MAC Control Element (CE) on a per CORESET per UE or purely per UE basis. Frequency hopping patterns for CORESET transmissions include the use of PRBs for CORESETs that are mirrored with respect to the central frequency of active bandwidth part (BWP), and the use of a random parameter to step through the frequency pattern. The sub-band location of the physical downlink shared channel that is scheduled by the physical downlink control channel may be indicated using the DCI format, or may be based on a last slot for PDCCH transmission.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for beam failure recovery (BFR) are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) receives downlink (DL) reference signal(s) on corresponding beam(s) from a base station. The UE performs beam failure detection (BFD) on such beams used for user data to determine whether a beam failure has occurred, and candidate beam detection (CBD) on such beams not used for user data to identify candidate beams for recovering from the beam failure. The BFD and the CBD are based on both uplink (UL) channel performance considerations and DL channel performance considerations, as determined using the DL reference signal(s), such that a beam failure may be determined in the UL, the DL, or both, and a candidate beam may be identified for UL, DL, or both. The UE sends a beam failure recovery request BFRQ with this information to the base station, and the system changes beams accordingly.
