Abstract: Some aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for performing handover, radio link monitoring (RLM), beam failure detection (BFD), and candidate beam detection (CBD) within the unlicensed spectrum when a listen-before-talk (LBT) failure occurs and/or when a user equipment (UE) performs receiving (RX) beam sweeping. For example, a UE is configured to receive a handover command to connect to a target cell. The UE is further configured to determine a search time and an interruption time uncertainty during a handover procedure initiated by the handover command and in response to a LBT failure or the UE performing a beam sweeping operation. The UE can further determine a handover delay based on the search time and the interruption time uncertainty. In response to a time period for performing the handover procedure exceeding the handover delay, the UE can cease the handover procedure.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to establish a network connection including a new radio (NR)-NR dual connectivity band combination wherein a primary cell (PCell) of a primary cell group (PCG) and a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a secondary cell group (SCG) both operate on frequency range 1 (FR1) and wherein at least one cell of either the PCG or the SCG operates on frequency range 2 (FR2). The UE receives a measurement gap timing advance parameter, selects one subframe from multiple serving cell subframes and determines a starting point for a configured per-frequency range (FR) measurement gap based on the measurement gap timing advance parameter and the selected subframe.

Abstract: Reporting potential impacts of sounding reference signal-switching (SRS-switching) to a base station may include determining that SRS-switching is to be performed by a UE. Based on determining that SRS-switching is to be performed, potential impacts to one or more of a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) caused by performing SRS-switching while sharing radio frequency (RF) front-ends (RFFE) between at least a subset of the plurality of RATS may be processed. The potential impacts may comprise at least one of transmit-blanking (Tx-blanking) and receive-blanking (Rx-blanking) associated with one or more of the subset of RATs. A communication that indicates the potential impacts of SRS-switching may be encoded for transmission to a base station. The base station may also provide priority configurations for determining how to handle Tx-blanking, Rx-blanking, and SRS-skipping associated with SRS-switching.

Abstract: A base station and a user equipment (UE) may exchange messages to perform a Random Access Channel (RACH) procedure. The UE performs measurements on a plurality of signal synchronization blocks (SSBs), selects M physical random access channel (PRACH) groups based on one or more of the measured SSBs satisfying a predetermined threshold, provides the measurements for the M PRACH groups to a base station in an initial access transmission for a RACH procedure and monitors for a random access response (RAR) message based on a repetition number for the RAR message indicated by the base station.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives scheduling information from a base station of a wireless network. The UE monitors a first physical resource to receive a common downlink control information (DCI) portion of scheduling information for the UE, decodes the common DCI portion to determine information for a UE-specific DCI portion that is transmitted by the base station on a second physical resource, monitors the second physical resource for the UE-specific DCI portion based on at least the information from the common DCI and decodes the UE-specific DCI portion based on at least the information from the common DCI.

Abstract: Embodiments include a computer readable storage medium, a user equipment, a method and an integrated circuit that perform operations. The operations include receiving a downlink channel information (DCI) format 2_0 from a g-NodeB (gNB) connected to the 5G NR network, wherein the DCI format 2_0 includes channel occupancy time (COT) duration and a gap threshold value, determining if a nonzero power channel state information reference signal (NZP-CSI-RS) resource is valid, wherein the NZP-CSI-RS resource is valid if the NZP-CSI-RS resource is within the COT duration and if a gap between a last symbol of the DCI format 2_0 and a first symbol of the NZP-CSI-RS resource is greater than the gap threshold value.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to report channel state information (CSI) to a base station of a network. The UE receives configuration information from the base station including one or more interference measurement resources (IMRs) to be measured by the UE, determines a noise power for each of the IMRs, transmits a reference channel state information (CSI) report the base station, measures CSI reference signals (CSI RS) transmitted by the base station to determine an interference and noise power for each of the one or more IMRs and transmits a new CSI report including one of i) only interference and noise power fluctuation feedback or ii) multiple signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) or SINR statistics to the base station.
