Abstract: Reporting capabilities regarding Cross Carrier Scheduling (CCS) with different Sub-Carrier Spacing (SCS) may include generating a message to send to a base station. The message may comprise an indication of a user equipment's (UE's) capability for CCS with different SCS. Based on the UE's capability for CCS with different SCS, a number of unicast downlink control information (DCI) per physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion per span may be processed to determine scheduled resources for downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) signaling or channels. The DL and UL signaling or channels may be processed using the scheduled resources.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for channel access scheme enhancements for systems operating in unlicensed higher frequency bands. A wireless device may perform channel access detection (CAD) measurements on a channel at a first periodicity, determine a CAD metric based on the CAD measurements at a second periodicity, and select, for the channel, a first channel access scheme from a plurality of channel access schemes based on comparison of the CAD metric to a threshold. The first channel access scheme may include a first set of channel access procedures that may define physical channels and signals to utilize respective channel procedures. In instances when the CAD metric is below the threshold, the first channel access scheme may include accessing a channel using a first listen before talk (LBT) procedure that is less restrictive than a second LTB procedure used when the CAD metric is above the threshold.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) communicates with transmission-reception points (TRPs). When the UE generates uplink control information (UCI), it determines a higher layer index (HLI) value to target the UCI to the appropriate TRP. (Possible values of the HLI are associated with the TRPs.) For UCI on Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), the HLI value may be determined: based on an HLI value configured for a control resource set (CORESET), or for particular Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources; based on UCI type or spatial relation data or an index related to PUCCH resources. For UCI on a configured-grant Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the HLI value may be based on higher layer signals or an indicator relating to channel sounding on spatial relation data. For UCI on MsgA PUSCH in a two-step random access procedure, the HLI value may be based on PUSCH resource unit or PUSCH opportunity.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) associated with a non-terrestrial network (NTN) is disclosed. The UE comprises a processor configured to determine a first time offset, based on processing a timing offset indication signal comprising the first time offset or an associated parameter, received from a base station. In some embodiments, the first time offset is indicative of a time delay in downlink (DL) to uplink (UL) interaction between the UE and the base station. The processor is further configured to determine a second time offset, based on processing a subsequent timing offset indication signal comprising the second time offset or an associated parameter, received from the base station at a subsequent time instance. In some embodiments, the processor is further configured to update the first time offset with the second time offset.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for use in a wireless network for scheduling intra-frequency measurements. Some embodiments are directed to a user equipment (UE). The UE includes processor circuitry and radio front circuitry. The processor circuitry can be configured to determine a collision signal status between an intra-frequency measurement signal and an uplink transmission signal. The processor circuitry can be further configured to determine a measurement gap status of the LIE. Moreover, the processor circuitry can be further configured to prioritize between the SSB measurement signal and the uplink transmission signal based on the collision signal status and the measurement gap status. Additionally, the processor circuitry can be further configured to perform a wireless measurement according to the prioritization between the intra-frequency measurement signal and the uplink transmission signal.

Abstract: Supporting transmission of multiple hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgments (HARQ-ACKS) within a single slot may include encoding a first HARQ-ACK and a second HARQ-ACK within the single slot for transmission to a base station. The first HARQ-ACK may be transmitted via a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and the second HARQ-ACK may be transmitted via a second PUCCH. Based on encoding the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK within the single slot, one or more additional uplink (UL) signals colliding with at least one of the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK within the single slot may be responded to based on a configuration of the UE.
