Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing wireless communications by rapidly moving user equipment device in communication with a network. The UE may adapt communication techniques in response to the UE's motion. For example, reference signals may be transmitted by the UE to additional transmission and reception points and/or using different configurations. Similarly, the UE may receive reference signals from additional transmission and reception points.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to perform rate matching for reference signals under certain conditions. The UE receives information associated with a downlink reference signal for a first radio access technology (RAT), wherein the first RAT is different than a currently camped second RAT, identifies reference signal occasions for the downlink reference signal and receives downlink control information from the second RAT via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling behavior for overriding grants for channel state information (CSI) feedback. A user equipment (UE) may control override of a first grant of a first radio resource by a second grant of a second radio resource. The UE determines that the second radio resource at least partially overlaps with the first radio resource. The UE also determines a physical layer priority of the first grant of the first radio resource and the second grant of the second radio resource. The physical layer priority is based on at least one of the first grant of the first radio resource and the second grant of the second radio resource being configured for transmitting CSI feedback over a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to a base station. The UE then generates a transmission according to the physical layer priority.

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: The present disclosure relates to devices, apparatuses, and methods for enhanced PHR reporting in support of UE antenna scaling. A wireless device, which comprises at least one antenna array each comprising a plurality of antenna elements may perform antenna scaling by activating or deactivating at least one of the plurality of antenna elements (with corresponding RF chains) of one or more antenna arrays. The wireless device may generate a power headroom (PHR) report based at least on a difference between beamforming gains obtained after the antenna scaling and before the antenna scaling. The wireless device may then send the PHR report to a base station in communication with the wireless device.
