摘要： Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for exchanging a searcher number between an electronic device (for example, a UE) and a network for cell detection and measurement. For example, some embodiments relate to an electronic device including a transceiver and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor determines a searcher number associated with the electronic device. The searcher number is greater than two. The processor further transmits, using the transceiver, a signal to the network, where the signal includes an indication of the searcher number.

摘要： A base station (BS) configures a user equipment (UE) with parameters for channel access operations on a shared channel. The BS transmits to the UE a first configuration for a BS-initiated fixed frame period (FFP) (BS-FFP) and a second configuration for a UE-initiated FFP (UE-FFP), wherein the BS-FFP overlaps the UE-FFP, schedules an uplink (UL) transmission during the UE-FFP and when there is no downlink (DL) transmission in the BS-FFP, receiving the UL transmission from the UE during the BS-FFP.

摘要： A network cell is connected to a user equipment (UE) that supports an independent measurement gap configuration. The cell establishes a connection to the UE, receives an indication that the UE supports an independent measurement gap configuration for new radio in an unlicensed spectrum (NR-U) and transmits measurement gap configuration information to the UE, wherein the UE configures a measurement gap pattern based on the measurement gap configuration information.

摘要： A user equipment (UE) may attempt to access a base station of a network. The UE receives, from the base station of a wireless network, a broadcast including a system information block (SIB) identifying a plurality of random access channel (RACH) sub-bands of an uplink (UL) bandwidth and which of the plurality of RACH sub-bands includes physical random access channel (PRACH) resources. The base station selects one of the plurality of RACH sub-bands for a PRACH transmission and selects a preamble from the selected RACH sub-band and transmit the preamble to the base station to initiate a RACH procedure.

摘要： A user equipment (UE) performs a multi-level Downlink Control Information (DCI) monitoring operation. The UE monitors an Anchor-search space set (SSS) of a first resource block (RB) set for downlink control information (DCI) and, when the Anchor-SSS includes DCI, monitors at least one Subordinate-SSS of a second RB set based on at least the DCI detected on the Anchor-SSS.

摘要： A computer readable storage medium, a user equipment, a method and an integrated circuit that are used to perform operations. Operations include receiving, from a network, a plurality of Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmissions in slots of a hybrid automatic repeating request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) window, decoding each of the PDSCH transmissions in the slots of the HARQ window, determining a HARQ-ACK feedback for each PDSCH transmission in the HARQ-ACK window, bundling the HARQ-ACK feedback for at least two of the PDSCH transmissions and reporting the bundled HARQ-ACK feedback for the HARQ window to the network.

摘要： Systems and methods for measuring at and reporting by a target user equipment (UE) of one or more positioning signals sent from one or more assisting UEs to the target UE are disclosed herein. The target UE may receive a positioning signal from an assisting UE according to a communication received at the target UE. The target UE may proceed to perform a positioning measurement using the positioning signal received from the target UE. The positioning measurement may be used by the target UE to estimate its own position, or the positioning measurement may be sent to another entity within a wireless communications system to be used in estimating the physical position of the UE. The handling of multiple received positioning signals from various sources, and the handling of situations where, for example, a transmission reception point (TRP) and an assisting UE may schedule overlapping positioning signals, ate also discussed.

摘要： A method for bandwidth part (BWP) switching includes receiving an indication to switch operation of a user equipment (UE) configured for dual connectivity from a first BWP to a second BWP. At least one of an allowed interruption duration or an allowed BWP switch delay are determined for switching operation of the UE from the first BWP to the second BWP, where the allowed interruption duration is up to two subframes, and where the allowed BWP switch delay is at least one slot greater than two subframes. Operation of the UE is switched from the first BWP to the second BWP based on the at least one of the allowed interruption duration or the allowed BWP switch delay.

摘要： An approach is described to for new radio (NR) antenna test function (ATF) measurements by a user equipment (UE). The approach includes measuring a first average phase of receive signals on resource elements that carry secondary synchronization signals (SS) received by a reference individual receiver branch. The approach also includes measuring a second average phase of the receive signals on the resource elements that carry secondary synchronization signals received by one other individual receiver branch different from the reference individual receiver branch. The approach further includes determining a difference between the first average phase and the second average phase. An indication of the difference is reported to test equipment.
