    摘要: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for sounding reference signal (SRS) coverage enhancement. A user equipment device (UE) may receive a configuration for SRS time domain bundling from a base station and may transmit, to the base station, at least one SRS transmission in accordance with the configuration. The configuration may include an indication of (and/or indicate) one or more SRS transmission occasions. The configuration may be communicated via higher layer signaling or physical layer signaling. The RRC parameter may be an SRS-ResourceSet parameter or an SRS-Resource parameter and may include a nrofSlots parameter to indicate the number of slots, where a slot may correspond to an SRS transmission occasion. The MAC CE may include at least four bits indicating the number of slots. The DCI may include at least one field indicating the number of slots.

    摘要: A base station and wireless communication (UE) may perform type II CSI-RS port selection based at least on partial reciprocity between an uplink path and a downlink path between the base station and the UE. The base station may identify dominant signal paths between the base station and the UE, based on measurements performed during uplink transmissions, and may transmit, to the UE, corresponding information indicative of CSI measurement and reporting configuration that may include a single measurement resource or multiple measurement resources. Each measurement resource may include multiple-port CSI-RS ports. The UE may indicate, to the base station, selection of a measurement resource when multiple measurement resources are configured, and may also report layer independent or layer common selection of a subset of CSI-RS ports included in the indicated single measurement resource or multiple measurement resources. Further enhancements include frequency domain compression enhancement and dynamic codebook parameter reconfiguration.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for cross division duplex (XDD) operation in a wireless communication system are described herein. A user equipment (UE) is configured with one or more sub-bands (SBs) within a larger overall bandwidth (BW) (e.g., represented by a component carrier (CC), a bandwidth part (BWP), etc.), and that use uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) resource allocation(s) that may be different than the larger BW. Configurations for such SB-specific (SBS) arrangements that use guard bands (GBs) between SBs are discussed. Mechanisms for slot format indications (SFIs) within such SBs using either SBS DCI or cross-SB DCI are discussed. Mechanisms for providing SBS uplink resource for initial access (e.g., random access) using at least one initial UL BWP that is configured relative to one or more SBs and that may be used by XDD-capable UEs are discussed.

    摘要: Techniques discussed herein facilitate generation of uplink control information for Enhanced Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) Format(s) (EPF(s)). One example embodiment employable in a User Equipment (UE) is configured to: determine Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-Acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information; generate a PUCCH for a BandWidth Part (BWP) based at least in part on the HARQ-ACK information, wherein the PUCCH has an EPF; determine a PUCCH resource for the PUCCH and a first PRB index for the PUCCH, wherein the PUCCH resource is determined based at least in part on an index of a first Control Channel Element (CCE) of an associated Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and a number of CCEs in a Control Resource Set (CORESET) of the associated PDCCH; and map the PUCCH to at least one PUCCH interlace based on the PUCCH resource and the first PRB index for the PUCCH.
