Abstract:
In accordance with an example embodiment, there is disclosed a method comprising: receiving, by a user equipment in a wireless network, beam information from a serving cell and each neighboring cell; assessing a beam quality of the serving cell and each neighboring cell from the information; determining a subset of the serving cell and neighboring cells comprising the serving cell and each neighboring cell with a beam quality within a first offset of the serving cell and each neighboring cell with a highest quality beam; ranking each cell of the subset in descending order from highest to lowest quality.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, device and computer readable medium for allocating measurement resources. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device can determine the allocations of measurement resources to the RRM measurement and the beam recovery measurement based on priorities of the RRM and beam recovery measurements. The priorities can be determined based on the needs of the terminal device. In this way, the terminal device is able to find suitable beams faster and the interruption time for date transmission is reduced.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for beam management reporting in connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) are provided. One method includes configuring a user equipment (UE) in connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) with a timer that determines at least one of when the UE monitors physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) from channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) based beams or when the UE monitors PDCCH from synchronization signal block (SSB) based beams.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for robust system information (SI) delivery are provided. One method may include receiving, by a network node, a SI request from a UE, and transmitting an acknowledgement of the SI request to the UE. In one example, the method may include selecting, by the network node, a subset of downlink beams for transmitting the requested SI message. In an embodiment, the selecting may include selecting the subset of downlink beams based on SI requests associated with SS/PBCH blocks, and the subset of downlink beams associated with the SI requests are used for the delivery of an SI message.
Abstract:
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method comprising: initiate, by a user equipment, a search of at least one carrier frequency as part of an initial access procedure; determine possible values for a first parameter and a second parameter based on the at least one carrier frequency, wherein the first parameter relates to a synchronization signal block index and the second parameter relates to at least one of: a periodicity and a synchronization signal block configuration; detect a reference signal from a first cell comprising signaling information indicating a first value for the first parameter and a second value for the second parameter; and synchronize timing for transmission and/or reception of data with the first cell based at least on the first value and the second value.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus can be configured to receive, by the apparatus, a configuration for a carrier. The carrier deploys at least one cell to be used for carrier aggregation. The method can also include detecting the at least one cell. The method can also include determining that the at least one cell is a secondary cell for carrier aggregation based on the at least one cell being detected.
Abstract:
A UE acquires information about a need of additional reference signals for synchronization purposes with cell(s), and sends to the cell(s), an indication that additional reference signals are needed for synchronization. The UE receives information of additional reference signal configuration to be used in the idle state or inactive state. The UE monitors for additional reference signals according to the additional reference signal configuration and uses the additional reference signals at least for synchronization purposes to synchronize with the cell(s). A cell in a wireless network sends information of additional reference signal configuration to be used by a UE while in either an idle state or an inactive state. The cell sends additional reference signals toward the UE according to the additional reference signal configuration.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for enabling access for a reduced capability new radio (NR) device. For example, a network may indicate which of the configured random access channel (RACH) resources can be used to perform a random access procedure within a reduced uplink (UL) bandwidth (BW) (compared to the whole initial UL bandwidth part (BWP) BW). The network may schedule any UL transmissions (e.g., Msg3 (re-)transmissions, etc.) pertaining to such random access procedure within the reduced UL BW.
