Abstract: A user equipment is configured to connect to a base station (BS) over a shared channel subject to channel access operations. The UE receives a first configuration for a BS-initiated fixed frame period (FFP) (BS-FFP) and a second configuration for a UE-initiated FFP (UE-FFP), determines that no downlink (DL) transmissions are detected during a predefined time of the BS-FFP and determines that at least one condition associated with an uplink (UL) transmission is satisfied. When no downlink (DL) transmissions are detected during the predefined time of the BS-FFP and the at least one condition is satisfied, the UE performs a UE-initiated channel access operation. When the UE-initiated channel access operation is successful, the UE performs the UL transmission during the UE-FFP.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for determining a starting point of a measurement gap. For example, the present disclosure is directed to a user equipment (UE) that includes a memory and processor circuitry coupled to the memory. The processor circuitry may be configured to receive an indication of a measurement gap timing advance. The processor circuitry may be further configured to, based on the indication of the measurement gap timing advance, determine a starting point of a measurement gap in a dual connectivity mode that provides dual connectivity with a new radio (NR) and an evolved universal mobile telecommunications system terrestrial radio access (EUTRA). The NR may serve as a master Radio Access Network (RAN) and the EUTRA may serve as a secondary RAN. The processor circuitry may also be configured to perform a signal quality measurement during the measurement gap, wherein the signal quality measurement is performed on a target cell of the NR or EUTRA.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to simultaneously connect to a primary cell (PCell) and a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a wireless network, wherein a primary component carrier (PCC) of the PCell and a primary secondary component carrier (PSCC) of the PSCell are both in frequency range 1 (FR1). The UE receives a PCC measurement object (MO) configuration, a PSCC MO configuration, and an inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap configuration, determines a PCC MO carrier specific scaling factor (CSSF), a PSCC MO CSSF, and an inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap CSSF and applies each respective CSSF to a measurement period corresponding to each of the PCC MO, the PSCC MO, and the inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap to determine a scaled measurement period corresponding to each of the PCC MO, the PSCC MO, and the inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may support concurrent synchronization signal block (SSB) inter-frequency measurement without a measurement gap (MG). The UE may also, or alternatively, support concurrent SSB inter-frequency measurement in intra-band scenarios (e.g., where a target inter-frequency cell and serving cell are on the same band) and/or inter-band scenarios (e.g., where a target inter-frequency cell and serving cell are on the same band). The UE may report concurrent SSB based inter-frequency measurement as a NEEDFORGAP information element (IE), which may include one or more of a variety of parameters regarding UE measurement capabilities. Scheduling restrictions (e.g., restrictions to downlink and uplink communications) are also enabled based on UE measurement capabilities, including scheduling restriction for frequency range 1 (FR1), frequency range 2 (FR2), and cross frequency range scenarios.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE), baseband processor or other network device (e.g., base station, next generation NodeB, etc.) can operate to configure a hand over (HO) or a primary secondary cell (PSCell) addition based on a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) based contention free random access (CFRA) procedure. A CSI-RS rough timing of a CSI-RS position can be determined based on a synchronization signal block (SSB) associated with a CSI-RS or a serving cell timing. A CFRA transmit timing can be determined based on the CSI-RS rough timing or a CSI-RS fine timing that is derived from a timing and frequency (T/F) tracking operation on the CSI-RS. Reference signal receive power (RSRP) measurement(s) can be made on the CSI-RS for performing the CSI-RS based CFRA procedure with transmissions according to the CSI-RS transmit timing of the CSI-RS that satisfies an RSRP threshold.

Abstract: A service device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NR (gNB), or other network component) as a service provider/consumer can process or generate sidelink communications based on a downlink control information (DCI) for one or more sidelink configured grants that enables resource allocation for the sidelink communication. The device can determine whether to activate, release/deactivate, or request a retransmission for the one or more sidelink configured grants based on one or more fields of a DCI format 3_0 configuration of the DCI.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing dual active protocol stack handovers in a frequency range above 24 GHz. A UE may transmit an indication to a base station indicating a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover capability of the UE corresponding to a frequency range (FR) above 24 GHz. The UE may receive, from a target cell of the one or more cells, a command to perform a DAPS handover from a source cell to the target cell. While performing the DAPS handover and maintaining a data connection with the source cell, the UE may perform measurements on the target cell followed by a physical random access channel (PRACH) procedure. The UE may then receive a source cell release command from the target cell and release the data connection with the source cell.
