Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may increase the reliability of transmission of a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) by transmitting repeated copies of the PUCCH, according to a repetition pattern spanning one or more slots. In an intra-slot mode, more than one copy may be transmitted within each configured slot, with or without frequency hopping. The number of copies as well as a temporal gap between the transmission of successive copies may be configured by the network. The repetition pattern may or may not be interrupted by slot boundaries. In an inter-slot mode, one copy is transmitted per configured slot. Different copies may be transmitted in different directions, according to a spatial consistency pattern. The UE may perform repeated transmission of PUCCHs to different Transmission-Reception Points (TRPs) using respectively different timing advances and/or transmit power levels.

Abstract: A wireless device may establish communication with a network node and determine a relationship between transmission configuration indication (TCI) and bandwidth part (BWP). The wireless device may then receive an indication of one of TCI or BWP from the network node followed by determining the other of TCI or BWP based on the indication and using the relationship between the TCI and BWP. Finally, the wireless device may perform downlink communication using the indicated one of TCI or BWP and determined other TCI or BWP. The network node may be comprised in a non-terrestrial network and may specify via RRC signaling the relationship between TCI and BWP for the wireless device. The indication of the TCI or BWP may be provided by downlink control information (DCI), medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), an inactivity timer, or RRC reconfiguration commands.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for configuring and providing physical downlink control channel transmissions with improved reliability in a wireless communication system. A cellular base station may establish a wireless link with a wireless device. The cellular base station may provide downlink control channel configuration information to the wireless device. The downlink control channel configuration information may configure control resources associated with multiple transmission reception points in a search space for the wireless device. The cellular base station may provide downlink control information to the wireless device using control resources included in the search space.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for triggering and signaling of an inter-UE coordination message. A coordinating UE may determine to transmit, to a source UE, a set of resources for the source UE to use for sidelink communications. The determination may be based, at least in part, on an occurrence of at least one condition. The at least one condition may include the coordinating UE receiving a sidelink coordination request message form the source UE, the coordinating UE detecting a resource reservation collision between the source UE and a destination UE, and/or the coordinating UE detecting a half-duplex restriction at the source UE or the destination UE. The coordinating UE may transmit an inter-UE coordination message to the source UE. The inter-UE coordination message may include at least an indication of the set of resources.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured to determine a resource selection window which identifies a first set (e.g., a total set) of candidate resources. The UE may then remove one or more candidate resources from the first set of candidate resources in response to receiving sidelink control information (SCI) from a pedestrian UE with a reservation of the one or more first candidate resources. After removal of these candidate resources from the initial or first set based on their presumed unavailability, the result may be a second set of candidate resources, which may be a subset of the initial or first set for use in communicating with a third UE. The UE may also be configured to remove candidate resources based on a reference signal receive power (RSRP) threshold which can also be adjusted based on a maximum value or a highest priority of the pedestrian UE's data.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for beam indication latency reduction via symbol level beam sweeping capability reporting. A wireless device may transmit, to a base station, a report associated with symbol level beam sweeping. The wire wireless device may receive, from the base station, a symbol level beam sweeping configuration. The symbol level beam sweeping configuration may be based, at least in part, on the report. The wireless device may perform synchronization signal block (SSB) measurements according to the report and the symbol level beam sweeping configuration.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for signaling a quasi-colocation (QCL) update in a wireless communication system. A network or base station may indicate to a UE to change a spatial relationship for transmission/reception. The base station may provide aperiodic reference signals for the UE to use in beam tracking according to the new spatial relationship. Optionally, the base station may also provide aperiodic reference signals for time, frequency, and/or phase tracking. Thus, the network may configure the UE to change to the new spatial relationship and use the aperiodic reference signals to quickly complete initial tracking operations.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to provide SCell activation. In one example, an SCell activation procedure may be extended by a duration based on cancelation of CSI-RS reception. In another example, a base station may use particular configuration parameters to avoid cancelation of CSI-RS reception. In yet another example, a UE and a base station may use particular information for a CSI-RS reception/transmission on an SCell that is being activated.
