Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that determines a physical downlink shared channel scheduling resource for a user equipment device and a base station is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device selects a plurality of component carriers from a pool of available component carriers associated with a wireless link established between the user equipment device and the base station. In addition, the device selects a virtual component carrier from the plurality of component carriers. Furthermore, the device determines a physical downlink shared channel scheduling resource based on at least the virtual component carrier.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured to determine a resource selection window which identifies a first set (e.g., a total set) of candidate resources. The UE may then remove one or more candidate resources from the first set of candidate resources in response to receiving sidelink control information (SCI) from a pedestrian UE with a reservation of the one or more first candidate resources. After removal of these candidate resources from the initial or first set based on their presumed unavailability, the result may be a second set of candidate resources, which may be a subset of the initial or first set for use in communicating with a third UE. The UE may also be configured to remove candidate resources based on a reference signal receive power (RSRP) threshold which can also be adjusted based on a maximum value or a highest priority of the pedestrian UE's data.

Abstract: Inter-cell beam management and inter-cell multiple transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) operation may include decoding a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) pattern list configuration received from a base station. The CRS pattern list configuration may include one or more CRS pattern lists. Each of the one or more CRS pattern lists correspond to one or more cells of a plurality of cells configured by the base station. Beam management associated with the plurality of cells may be performed based on the CRS pattern list configuration.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) performs capability exchange for indicating support of cross physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group channel state information (CSI) reporting. In some embodiments, the UE receives a request from a network for the UE capability exchange and reports to the network whether cross PUCCH group CSI reporting is supported. The UE may also indicate whether a processing timeline for CSI reporting is to be relaxed to accommodate the cross PUCCH group CSI measurement and reporting.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for reducing likelihood of Random Access Channel (RACH) transmission blockages and thereby facilitate an initial access procedure for new radio (NR) unlicensed spectrum (NR-U) operation in a fifth generation (5G) wireless communication system including an NR node. In some embodiments, a parameter generated by a gNB and received by a UE indicates that, from among a set of consecutive RACH Occasions (ROs), a gap is available for performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure before commencing a RACH transmission.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) performs uplink (UL) transmissions to a network. The UE receives a frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) configuration from a network, the FDRA configuration comprising at least one of a first FDRA mode or a second FDRA mode, wherein the first FDRA mode utilizes an FDRA unit comprising a set of consecutive resource blocks (RBs) and the second FDRA mode utilizes an FDRA unit comprising a set of interlaced RBs, when both of the first and second FDRA modes are configured, the UE receives a signal indicating which one of the two FDRA modes are to be used for an uplink (UL) transmission and performs the UL transmission in accordance with the indicated FDRA mode.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for port selection codebook configuration. A user equipment (UE) may decode a channel state information (CSI) report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) from a base station. The CSI-ReportConfig configuring a port selection codebook comprising a port selection matrix W1, a combinational coefficient matrix W2, and a frequency basis selection matrix Wf. Based on the CSI-ReportConfig, the determines, for the port selection matrix W1, up to L CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) ports out of P CSI-RS ports configured for measuring and reporting CSI. For the frequency basis selection matrix Wf, the UE determines up to Mv frequency basis out of N frequency basis. For the combinational coefficient matrix W2, the UE determines up to L*Mv entries per layer. The UE reports one or more of the port selection matrix W1, the combinational coefficient matrix W2, and the frequency basis selection matrix Wf to the base station.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE), or other network component can operate to configure channel state information (CSI) feedback in response to receiving a CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) according to a hierarchical precoding scheme that selectively reduces a feedback overhead associated with the CSI feedback. The UE can operate to divide and further sub-divide a frequency band (e.g., a wideband, or particular frequency part) into a precoding hierarchy to generate precoders for conveyance to a base station, eNodeB (eNB), or next generation NodeB (gNB) via the CSI feedback.
