Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing multi-transmission and reception point operation in a wireless communication system. A plurality of transmission control indication states may be indicated for future use, e.g., using one or more separately identified lists. A subset of the indicated states may be activated. One or more states of the subset may be used for performing multi-transmission and reception point operation in a single downlink control information mode.

Abstract: Approaches for performing Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmissions include receiving, by a user equipment (UE) from a base station, an indicator of a plurality of precoders corresponding to M Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetitions, wherein M is an integer. A plurality of precoders corresponding to two or more of the M PUSCH repetitions are indicated. The UE configures the plurality of precoders based on the indicator and transmits one or more of the M Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetitions corresponding to one or more of the plurality of precoders. The indicator can be provided in higher layer signaling. One or more transmission rank indicator (TRIs) and transmission precoder matrix indicators (TPMIs) for the M PUSCH repetitions can be provided. The indicator can be provided in a scheduling downlink control indicator (DCI) communication. The indicator can also be provided within N sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator(s) (SRIs) of the scheduling DCI.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a user equipment (UE) in a cellular communications network receives a first Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) corresponding to a first cell of the cellular communications network, and a second SSB corresponding to a second cell of the cellular communications network. The UE clarifies a first cell identifier (ID) of the first cell. The UE clarifies a second cell ID of the second cell. The UE determines an SSB measurement accuracy value using the first cell ID and the second cell ID.

Abstract: Techniques for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) processing for multiple transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) are disclosed. In some embodiments, determining PDSCH hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) processing timing may include determining that a user equipment (UE) is configured for single downlink control information (single-DCI) multi-TRP PDSCH operation, determining a first PDSCH and a second PDSCH within a slot, wherein the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH are used in the single-DCI multi-TRP PDSCH operation, and determining a minimum HARQ-ACK processing timing for the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH using one or more symbols of the first PDSCH or one or more symbols of both the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for SRS antenna switching. A UE may transmit, to a base station, a capability message indicating an antenna configuration associated with SRS antenna switching e.g., via as RRC signaling. The capability message may indicate at least one of (and/or one or more of) a one transmit point (1T) and six receive point (6R) SRS resource set configuration, a 1T8R SRS resource set configuration, a 2T6R SRS resource set configuration, a 2T8R SRS resource set configuration, and/or a 4T8R SRS resource set configuration. The UE may receive, from the base station, a configuration message, e.g., via RRC signaling. The configuration message may indicate an SRS antenna switching configuration based, at least in part, on the capability message. The UE may transmit, to the base station, one or more SRSs, e.g., according to the SRS antenna switching configuration.
