    Abstract: Techniques of beamforming in reference signal (RS) transmissions, applicable to frequency ranges including frequencies between 52.6 GHz and 71 GHz, are described. Such techniques may include determining a communication channel is unoccupied for an initial duration, determining a number of communication slots of the communication channel to defer for transmission, and counting one or more communication slots of the communication channel that are not in use. The techniques may include determining the number of counted one or more communication slots is not equal to the determined number of communication slots of the communication channel to defer, and transmitting one or more data units based on the determination that the number of the counted one or more communication slots is not equal to the determined number of communication slots of the communication channel to defer.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) and a network agree on the use of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) codebook. The UE receives a plurality of downlink control information (DCI) transmissions during a corresponding plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions from the base station, wherein each DCI transmission schedules multiple physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions on a corresponding one of a plurality of component carriers (CCs), receives a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table configuration from the base station, determines a maximum number of PDSCH transmissions per CC based on the TDRA table configuration, groups the plurality of CCs together and determines a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) codebook size based on a number of the multiple PDSCH transmissions, the maximum number of PDSCH transmissions, and a resulting ACK or negative acknowledgement (NACK) for each of the multiple PDSCH transmissions.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for Timing Advance (TA) validation are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) comprises receiving, from a base station, configuration information, where the configuration information specifying a configured grant (CG)-small data transfer (SDT) resource available for use by the UE and specifying a configuration for a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) change-based TA validation method to be met in order to perform a SDT while in the RRC inactive state, the RSRP change-based TA validation method having configured TA validation criteria that is evaluated based on two measurement windows for timing advance (TA) validation, and at least one boundary of at least one of the two measurement windows for TA validation is based on a minimum of either a Frequency Range 2 (FR2) measurement period and a scaled Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle period, existing at time of TA validation criteria evaluation.
