Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) and/or cellular network to perform downlink control information (DCI) mode signaling and control resource set (CORESET) selection. A DCI mode may be signaled based on a predefined rule, media access control (MAC) control element (CE), and/or group based beam reporting. One or more CORESETs may be selected based on configuration of an active bandwidth part (BWP), CORESET identifier, higher layer index, periodicity, type of search space, and/or MAC CE.

Abstract: Layer 2 handling during a cell change procedure includes decoding an RRC reconfiguration message received from a first cell. The RRC reconfiguration message includes a Layer 1 (L1) configuration corresponding to a second cell. The first cell and the second cell share an SDAP entity, a PDCP entity, an RLC entity, and a MAC entity. The first cell and the second cell have a separate L1 entity. In response to decoding the RRC reconfiguration message, the L1 configuration corresponding to the second cell is stored. A cell change message received from the first cell is decoded. The cell change message indicates that a cell change from the first cell to the second cell is to be performed. The stored L1 configuration corresponding to the second cell is applied for data transmission and reception associated with the second cell. A cell change to the second cell is initiated.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to communicate with a further UE via a sidelink (SL). The UE encodes traffic for transmission to the further UE, wherein the traffic comprises a payload and a medium access control (MAC) subheader, wherein the MAC subheader indicates whether the payload corresponds to non-routed traffic between the UE and the further UE or routed traffic between either one of the UE or the further UE and a base station, wherein an other one of the UE or the further UE functions as a relay for the routed traffic and transmits the traffic.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for multi-TRP by a UE, including out of order delivery of PDSCH, PUSCH, and/or DL ACK/NACK. The UE may receive, from a base station, a configuration that may include multiple control resource set (CORESET) pools and each CORESET pool may be associated with an index value. The UE may determine that at least two DCIs of the multiple DCIs end at a common symbol and determine, based on one or more predetermined rules, when the UE may be scheduled to receive PDSCHs, transmit PUSCHs, and/or transmit ACK/NACKs from CORESETs associated with the at least two DCIs.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for authentication and authorization in a 5G network between an edge enabler client (EEC) of a UE and an edge configuration server (ECS). The embodiment include performing primary authentication with the 5G network to obtain a KAUSF; generating a Kedge and a Kedge ID using the KAUSF and a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI); providing the Kedge and the Kedge ID to the EEC to cause it to compute a MACEEC using the Kedge and an EEC ID; and sending to the ECS an application registration request, the application registration request including the EEC ID, MACEEC, and Kedge ID.

Abstract: The functions of user equipment (UE), radio access network (RAN) devices, and core network (CN) devices in circumstances where a UE is expected to experience discontinuous coverage are described herein. A UE may send a CN a non-access stratum (NAS) message including a release request indicating that a UE is leaving coverage and assistance information. The CN may interrupt paging of the UE and resume the paging according to the assistance information. A UE may enter a low power usage mode upon leaving coverage, and may use one or more timers to determine when to check for coverage and send a mobility update message corresponding to the low power usage mode. A base station may receive, from a UE, a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a release request and assistance information, send an RRC release message to the UE in response, and forward the assistance information to the CN.

Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform power control for uplink (UL) reference signals (RS). A UE may determine spatial configuration for UL RS based on another communication. A UE may determine an updated pathloss within a reduced implementation following an update of downlink (DL) RS. A UE may reset a power control factor in response to receiving an update.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for supporting switching between point to point and point to multipoint delivery with service continuity for broadcast and multicast services in a wireless communication system. A cellular base station and a wireless device may establish a wireless link. The cellular base station may provide information configuring an over the air delivery type with which to receive a broadcast or multicast service, which may be received by the wireless device. The cellular base station may transmit the service using the configured delivery type, and the wireless device may correspondingly receive the service. The cellular base station may provide information configuring the wireless device to switch to a different over the air delivery type, with service continuity. The cellular base station may then transmit the service using that delivery type, and the wireless device may correspondingly receive the service.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to perform measurements on reference signals based on concurrent measurement gaps. In an example, a device supports concurrent measurement gaps for intra-RAT measurements. The device can also indicate to a network whether it supports concurrent measurement gaps for inter-RAT measurements. Based on this indication, the network can configure measurement gap patterns and measurement objects for the UE to perform intra-RAT measurements and, as applicable, inter-RAT measurements.
