    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode physical broadcast channel (PBCH) information received from a base station (BS). The decoded PBCH information includes a scrambled PBCH payload and an unscrambled bit sequence. A scrambling sequence is generated based on time information signaling within the unscrambled bit sequence. The scrambled PBCH payload is de-scrambled using the scrambling sequence, to obtain master information block (MIB) information. System information block (SIB) information is decoded based on the MIB information. The decoded PBCH information includes cyclic redundancy check (CRC) information. The scrambled PBCH payload and the unscrambled bit sequence can be verified based on the CRC information. The time information signaling includes one or more bits of a system frame number (SFN).

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for performing beam selection. An embodiment operates by receiving, from a base station, a request for a report for at least one uplink beam. In response, the embodiment generates the report for the at least one uplink beam. The report for the at least one uplink beam can include an indication that a resource corresponding to the at least one uplink beam is available for uplink beam indication. The resource can be a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) resource or a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource. The embodiment transmits the report for the at least one uplink beam to the base station. The embodiment then receives, from the base station, an indication that the at least one uplink beam is selectable for uplink transmission based on the report for the uplink beam.

    Abstract: An approach is described to for new radio (NR) antenna test function (ATF) measurements by a user equipment (UE). The approach includes measuring a first average phase of receive signals on resource elements that carry secondary synchronization signals (SS) received by a reference individual receiver branch. The approach also includes measuring a second average phase of the receive signals on the resource elements that carry secondary synchronization signals received by one other individual receiver branch different from the reference individual receiver branch. The approach further includes determining a difference between the first average phase and the second average phase. An indication of the difference is reported to test equipment.

    Abstract: An approach is described that includes receiving a CSI report, where the CSI report includes a channel quality indicator (CQI), a rank indicator (RI), and a precoding matrix indicator (PMI). The approach further includes constructing a precoding matrix based on a linear combination of a plurality of mutually orthogonal digital Fourier transformation (DFT) spatial beams, and determining a number of bits for the PMI of the precoding matrix. The approach also includes determining a space frequency matrix based, at least in part, on the number of bits for the PMI and the precoding matrix, and compressing the space frequency matrix. Finally, the approach includes determining a compressed PMI based, at least in part, on the space frequency matrix.

    Abstract: Herein described are apparatuses, systems, and methods for measurement and reporting of channel state information within wireless network systems. In embodiments, an apparatus for a user equipment (UE) may include memory to store a rank indicator (RI), a precoding matrix index (PMI), and a channel quality indicator (CQI) of channel state information (CSI) for the UE. The apparatus may further include circuitry to concatenate the RI, the PMI, and the CQI to produce a concatenated CSI element, generate a CSI report that includes the concatenated CSI element, and cause the CSI report to be transmitted to a base station within a single slot. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Various embodiments provide techniques to determine a TBS for use with 1024 QAM communications that use more than one multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) layer based on a reference TBS for use with 1024 QAM communications that use a single MIMO layer. The reference TBS may be determined based on a TBS index and a resource allocation for the communication. The TBS index may be determined based on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
