Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may attempt to access a base station of a network. The UE receives, from the base station of a wireless network, a broadcast including a system information block (SIB) identifying a plurality of random access channel (RACH) sub-bands of an uplink (UL) bandwidth and which of the plurality of RACH sub-bands includes physical random access channel (PRACH) resources. The base station selects one of the plurality of RACH sub-bands for a PRACH transmission and selects a preamble from the selected RACH sub-band and transmit the preamble to the base station to initiate a RACH procedure.

Abstract: A base station maps physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates and PDCCH transmissions for multi-transmission reception point (TRP) operation. The base station determines that a control resource set (CORESET) is to be shared by at least a first TRP and a second TRP corresponding to a cell of a network, performs resource element group (REG) bundle to virtual REG bundle mapping on a per TRP basis, wherein multiple REG bundles are indexed on the per TRP basis, performs virtual REG bundle interleaving across the first TRP and the second TRP, performs control channel element (CCE) to interleaved REG bundle mapping and transmits downlink control information (DCI) using the CORESET, wherein the CORESET is configured based on, at least, the CCE to interleaved REG bundle mapping.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may report physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group capabilities to a network. The UE receives a request from a network for radio access capability information and reports whether a single PUCCH group having a plurality of component carriers (CC) using more than two numerologies across the CCs is supported. The UE may also receive a request from a network for radio access capability information and report whether a PUCCH group having a plurality of CC across multiple frequency bands is supported, wherein the report is configured per band combination (BC). The UE may also receive a request from a network for radio access capability information and report support for a PUCCH location configuration for a PUCCH group having a plurality of CC across multiple frequency bands, the PUCCH location configuration indicating which bands in a band combination (BC) may be used for the PUCCH.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) performs a multi-level Downlink Control Information (DCI) monitoring operation. The UE monitors an Anchor-search space set (SSS) of a first resource block (RB) set for downlink control information (DCI) and, when the Anchor-SSS includes DCI, monitors at least one Subordinate-SSS of a second RB set based on at least the DCI detected on the Anchor-SSS.

Abstract: A computer readable storage medium, a user equipment, a method and an integrated circuit that are used to perform operations. Operations include receiving, from a network, a plurality of Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmissions in slots of a hybrid automatic repeating request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) window, decoding each of the PDSCH transmissions in the slots of the HARQ window, determining a HARQ-ACK feedback for each PDSCH transmission in the HARQ-ACK window, bundling the HARQ-ACK feedback for at least two of the PDSCH transmissions and reporting the bundled HARQ-ACK feedback for the HARQ window to the network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring at and reporting by a target user equipment (UE) of one or more positioning signals sent from one or more assisting UEs to the target UE are disclosed herein. The target UE may receive a positioning signal from an assisting UE according to a communication received at the target UE. The target UE may proceed to perform a positioning measurement using the positioning signal received from the target UE. The positioning measurement may be used by the target UE to estimate its own position, or the positioning measurement may be sent to another entity within a wireless communications system to be used in estimating the physical position of the UE. The handling of multiple received positioning signals from various sources, and the handling of situations where, for example, a transmission reception point (TRP) and an assisting UE may schedule overlapping positioning signals, ate also discussed.
