Abstract: The present disclosure relates to DMRS overhead adaptation with AI-based channel estimation. A wireless device may be configured to receive, from a network device, a downlink data transmitted using a DMRS pattern; perform an AI-based downlink channel estimation based on the downlink data, including: inputting one or more received downlink DMRS symbols included in the received downlink data to a neural network model for downlink channel estimation stored in the memory of the wireless device, to obtain, as outputs of the neural network model, an estimated downlink channel corresponding to the downlink data and an optimal downlink DMRS pattern for the estimated downlink channel; and report the optimal downlink DMRS pattern to the network device.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to AP-SRS triggering offset enhancement for further enhanced MIMO. User equipment (UE), base stations, apparatus, methods, computer-readable memory media, and computer program products are disclosed. The UE may be configured to receive an offset information associated with AP-SRS transmission of the UE; determine a slot offset associated with the AP-SRS transmission, at least based on the offset information; determine a specific slot for the AP-SRS transmission, based on the determined slot offset; and perform the AP-SRS transmission in the determined specific slot.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein relate to acknowledgement signaling sent by a user equipment (UE) in response to downlink control information (DCI) received from a base station that schedules the use of multiple physical uplink control channels (multi-PUSCH) or multiple physical downlink control channels (multi-PDSCH). Acknowledgement signaling may inform the base station that DCI scheduling the multi-PUSCH/multi-PDSCH was received (or not), so that the base station may reclaim those scheduled resources in the case that the UE remains unaware of them. Methods for performing this signaling include, e.g., the use of HARQ-ACK codebooks (whether in a semi-static or dynamic manner), and aperiodic sounding reference signals (A-SRS). Embodiments involving such DCI received across multiple component carriers of different serving cells of the UE are contemplated. Acknowledgment signaling according to multi-PUSCH/multi-PDSCH subgroups, monitoring windows, acknowledgment signaling enablement/disablement, and the use of DCI to trigger acknowledgment signaling are also discussed.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may receive a measurement reporting capability request from a base station and further transmit, in response to the request, an indication of the UE's measurement reporting capability. The UE may further receive, signaling comprising a channel status information (CSI) request trigger from the base station. In response to receiving the CSI request trigger, the UE may transmit a measurement report to the base station, wherein the measurement report may comprise at least one received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurement.

Abstract: Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE). The method comprises receiving a downlink control information (DCI) that indicates a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) occasion retransmission; and performing retransmission for the PUCCH occasion and HARQ-ACK codebook associated with the PUCCH occasion based on the received DCI.

Abstract: PUCCH carrier switching at a UE may include decoding an RRC configuration including a time-domain pattern indicating a reference cell and a target PUCCH cell for one or more PUCCH transmissions at a given point in time. The reference cell may include a reference cell slot numerology and the target PUCCH cell may include a target PUCCH cell slot numerology. A slot for PUCCH transmissions may be determined based on the reference cell slot numerology. The determined slot may be used for transmission of at least one of an SR, a CSI, and a HARQ-ACK. The determined slot of the reference cell may be mapped to a corresponding slot of the target PUCCH cell. A PUCCH resource may be determined for performing a PUCCH transmission using the corresponding slot of the target PUCCH cell. The PUCCH resource determination may be based on a PUCCH configuration of the target PUCCH cell.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for differentiating between licensed and unlicensed bands in a common portion of frequency spectrum to facilitate initial access in a fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) wireless communication system having an NR node. The techniques include an NR generating and UE processing frequency configuration information indicating whether the common portion of frequency spectrum is allocated as a licensed band or an unlicensed band to enable a determination that the frequency spectrum is configured as the licensed band or unlicensed band and thereby facilitate initial access.
