Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to establish a network connection including a new radio (NR)-NR dual connectivity band combination wherein a primary cell (PCell) of a primary cell group (PCG) and a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a secondary cell group (SCG) both operate on frequency range 1 (FR1) and wherein at least one cell of either the PCG or the SCG operates on frequency range 2 (FR2). The UE receives a measurement gap timing advance parameter, selects one subframe from multiple serving cell subframes and determines a starting point for a configured per-frequency range (FR) measurement gap based on the measurement gap timing advance parameter and the selected subframe.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein may better ensure efficient fine time tracking during a second cell (SCell) activation procedure by using a tracking reference signal (TRS) that is User Equipment (UE) specific. A primary cell (PCell) may provide a UE with a TRS configuration that includes a UE-specific reference signal (RS) with periodicity or aperiodicity. In response to receiving a SCell activation command from the PCell, the UE may perform cell activation with fine time tracking in accordance with the UE-specific RS. As the delay time for the UE-specific RS may be less than the delay time for a system synchronization block (SSB) from the SCell, use of the UE-specific RS may expedite the cell activation procedure.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE), including a vehicle to everything (V2X) device, a baseband processor or other network device can operate in an unlicensed network to acquire a channel occupancy time (COT) for sidelink (SL) transmission and provide sidelink control information (SCI) with a first stage SCI in a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and a second stage SCI in a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH). The first stage SCI or the second stage SCI can provide COT indications to a receiving UE device that enable COT sharing in a sidelink unlicensed COT (SL-U COT) for SL communication.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus to enhance RACH transmission for beyond 52.6 GHz communications. A Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) configuration information including an indication of a PRACH preamble format for a predefined subcarrier spacing (SCS) to enhance cell coverage may be received. The PRACH configuration information may include a new PRACH preamble format in a time-domain based on a short sequence PRACH preamble format. Additionally, the PRACH preamble may be transmitted using the PRACH preamble format over a PRACH to a base station (BS). The short sequence PRACH preamble format may be repeated over two consecutive time-domain RACH occasions (ROs).

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for configuring listen before talk and short control signaling in unlicensed spectrum in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may establish a wireless link with a cellular base station on a cell in unlicensed spectrum. The wireless device may receive listen-before-talk configuration information, where the listen-before-talk configuration information indicates whether listen-before-talk is configured for the wireless link. The wireless device may receive short control signaling configuration information, where the short control signaling configuration information indicates whether short control signaling is enabled for one or more types of control signaling. The wireless device may perform short control signaling with the cellular base station on the wireless link when short control signaling is enabled. The short control signaling performed between the cellular base station and the wireless device may include either or both of uplink transmissions or downlink transmissions.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing dual active protocol stack handovers in a frequency range above 24 GHz. A UE may transmit an indication to a base station indicating a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover capability of the UE corresponding to a frequency range (FR) above 24 GHz. The UE may receive, from a target cell of the one or more cells, a command to perform a DAPS handover from a source cell to the target cell. While performing the DAPS handover and maintaining a data connection with the source cell, the UE may perform measurements on the target cell followed by a physical random access channel (PRACH) procedure. The UE may then receive a source cell release command from the target cell and release the data connection with the source cell.
