Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for port selection codebook configuration. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, an indication of parameter settings of a port selection codebook. The port selection codebook includes a port selection matrix W1, a combinational coefficient matrix W2, and a frequency basis selection matrix Wf. Based at least in part on the parameter settings, the UE selects L CSI-RS ports, Mv frequency basis from a window of N consecutive frequency basis; and up to beta*L*Mv entries per layer, where beta is a percentage of the L*Mv entries per layer. The UE reports one or more of the port selection matrix W1, the up to beta*L*Mv entries in the combinational coefficient matrix W2 per layer, and the frequency basis selection matrix Wf to the base station.

Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capable wireless device configured to perform sidelink cellular communications. The wireless device performs sidelink communications using a two-stage sidelink control information (SCI) protocol including Stage 1 SCI messaging carried on a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), and Stage 2 SCI messaging carried on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH). The SCI messaging may be encoded using polar codes. Channel interleaving is utilized on the SCI to interleave the SCI between two or more layers of a MIMO transmission system. Scrambling for Stage 2 SCI messaging is performed based on the result of a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) performed on Stage 1 SCI messaging. Collisions between sidelink HARQ feedback to be transmitted to a base station and other transmissions are avoided based on a priority analysis of the sidelink HARQ feedback.

Abstract: Systems and methods for control signaling for beam searching latency reduction are disclosed herein. A g Node B (gNB) may determine that a first Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) and a second SSB are to be spatially correlated and may select a first transmit (Tx) beam to transmit the first SSB and a second Tx beam to transmit the second SSB accordingly. The gNB may also transmit a correlation message including spatial correlation information to help a UE determine the spatial correlation. The UE may measure the first SSB on a first subset of a plurality of receive (Rx) beams and measure the second SSB on a second subset of the plurality of Rx beams, and select an Rx beam for one or both. In some embodiments, channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) that are quasi co-located (QCLed) with a given SSB may be measured in place of the SSB.

Abstract: Systems and methods for beam indication for layer 1/layer 2 (L1/L2) centric inter-cell mobility are described herein. A base station may provide a user equipment (UE) with beam indications, in one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states, and may provide different beam indications for different search spaces (SSs), including UE-specific search space (USS) and common search space (CSS) within a same control channel resource set (CORESET). A UE may implicitly select a radio link monitoring (RLM) and beam failure detection (BFD) reference signal (RS) in accord with one or more methods, and in some cases may implicitly select an RLM/BFD RS based on one or more received TCI states or beam indications.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to determine a default beam for a dedicated PUCCH/SRS in a CC. The UE may determine a pathloss RS has been configured in the CC, e.g., responsive to the UE determining that spatial relationship information for a default transmission beam has not been configured and determine the default beam for transmissions based, at least in part, on the (configured) pathloss RS. Additionally, responsive to determining that the pathloss RS has not been configured in the CC, the UE may determine that no CORESETs/TCI states for a PDSCH in the CC have been configured and determine the default beam for transmissions based, at least in part, on a default transmission beam in another CC, a CC index, a PRACH procedure; a PUSCH transmission; an SRS transmission, and/or a PUCCH transmission.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wakeup radio in a wireless communication system, e.g., in 5G NR systems and beyond. A UE may report a supported sensitivity with base station provided adjacent channel interference information for a wakeup radio. Additionally, a wakeup radio layer may be configured for the UE to perform synchronization, identification of a wakeup signal, and/or RRM measurement with 1D or 2D ON-OFF patterns. Further, a wakeup signal preamble bandwidth may be configured by a base station and may be constructed with a 1D OOC, a 2D OOC, a Hadamard code, an m-sequence, and/or a Gold sequence. In addition, selection of a particular preamble may be via a function with cell-ID, UE-ID/UE-group ID, and/or time parameters as inputs. Also, there may be a cyclic extension such as prefix and/or postfix to a selected preamble.

Abstract: A reduced capacity (redcap) device may perform initial uplink communications, including transmitting a redcap physical uplink control channel (R-PUCCH), over an initial uplink bandwidth part (BWP) shared with a second device, the initial uplink BWP having a bandwidth (BW) larger than a maximum BW supported by the redcap device and smaller than or equal to a maximum BW supported by the second device. Frequency hopping operation for the redcap device may be supported for the R-PUCCH transmission through frequency division multiplexing and/or time division multiplexing settings for the resources used for the R-PUCCH transmission, and for PUCCH transmission by the second device. Restrictions may be implemented to create a gap for redcap devices to perform RF retuning between a physical RACH transmission and a subsequent physical control channel (e.g. PDCCH) monitoring for random access reception when the frequency gap is larger than the maximum BW supported by the redcap device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for supporting blind retransmission. In one example, a method includes processing control information that indicates resources for communication of a physical downlink shared channel or a physical uplink shared channel (PDSCH/PUSCH) transmission and timing information for a retransmission of the PDSCH/PUSCH. The method includes configuring operation to: receive the PDSCH/PUSCH transmission based on the resources; and determine that a subsequent PDSCH/PUSCH received at a subsequent time corresponds to the retransmission of the PDSCH/PUSCH when the subsequent time coincides with the indicated timing information for the retransmission and, in response combine the PDSCH/PUSCH with the retransmission in a HARQ buffer for decoding purposes.

Abstract: When a user equipment (UE) encounters a radio link failure condition, the UE may transmit a radio link failure report to a network. The report may include information defining the radio link monitoring (RLM) resources of a current RLM configuration. The information may take the form of a resource bitmap or a list of resource identifiers/indices. The network may use the information (and radio resource management measurements) to determine whether the radio link failure occurred due to misconfiguration of RLM resources for the UE. In cases where the network does not provide RLM configuration, the UE may omit the bitmap (or list), or populate the bitmap with all zeros, or populate the bitmap (or list) according to a currently active Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state, which is indicated by downlink control information (DCI).
