Abstract: User equipment (UE) operation in a single frequency network (SFN). The UE may receive one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states corresponding to one or more downlink resources, receive a demodulated reference signal (DMRS) wherein the DMRS is quasi co-located (QCLed) with one or more channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) from multiple cells of a SFN and quasi co-location (QCL) information is included in the one or more TCI and determine a time and frequency offset corresponding to each of the multiple cells based on the CSI-RS.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for signaling in cast-type indication for a wireless communication system may include receiving, at a first user equipment (UE), a first stage sidelink control information (SCI) format from a second UE, decoding the first stage SCI format, determining a second stage SCI format using the decoded first stage SCI format, decoding the second stage SCI format, and determining a sidelink feedback status using the second stage SCI format. The sidelink feedback status may indicate whether sidelink feedback is enabled or not enabled. Second stage SCI content may include a distance setting associated with a communication range between the first UE and the second UE.

Abstract: An approach is described for a user equipment (UE), wherein the UE includes radio front end circuitry and processor circuitry coupled to the radio front end circuitry. The processor circuitry receives a reference signal from a source device via a radio link, wherein the reference signal is one of the synchronization signal block (SSB) signal or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). The processor circuitry measures a quality of the reference signal, and measures an evaluation time of the reference signal. The processor circuitry determines a first indicator of the radio link based on the quality of the reference signal, and determine a second indicator of the radio link based on the evaluation time of the reference signal. The processor circuitry then determines a status of a connection of the radio link based on the first indicator and the second indicator of the radio link, and generate a message based the status of the connection. The radio front end circuitry then transmits the message to the source device.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods may use an smtc information element or an smtc2-LP information element to calculate timing of a first measurement period to evaluate a serving cell while the UE is in idle mode or inactive mode. Additionally, apparatuses, systems, and methods may use the smtc information element or the smtc2-LP information element to calculate timing of a second measurement period to evaluate intra-frequency cells while the UE is in idle mode or inactive mode.

Abstract: A method for enhanced autonomous uplink timing adjustment includes determining that a user equipment (UE) is traveling above a predetermined velocity. In response to the determination that the UE is traveling above the predetermined velocity, a maximum aggregate adjustment rate to an uplink timing for the UE and a maximum amount of a magnitude of a timing change to the uplink timing for the UE are determined. The uplink timing for the UE is adjusted based on the maximum aggregate adjustment rate and the maximum amount of the magnitude of the timing change.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for providing a user equipment (UE) with on-demand reference signals for location related measurements of the UE. The UE can receive location assistance data from a network server, where the location assistance data includes information about a plurality of downlink reference signals that can be used to perform location related measurements by the UE. The UE can send a request to a base station for a reference signal. The reference signal is selected from the plurality of downlink reference signals of the location assistance data. Furthermore, the UE can receive the reference signal from the base station, and perform a location related measurement based on the received reference signal.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for a wireless network to enable multiple-transmission reception point (multi-TRP) uplink (UL) time division multiplexed (TDMed) repetition transmission. The network may receive, from a user equipment (UE), beam measurements of downlink reference signals associated with a plurality of UL transmission beams from the UE to the multi-TRP. Based on criteria associated with the beam measurements received from the UE, the network enables the UE for the multi-TRP UL TDMed repetition transmission using the plurality of UL transmission beams. In addition, or in other scenarios, coordination is provided between the network and the UE to improve UL TDMed repetition transmissions when a UE switches between antenna panels.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations for resource allocation for contiguous resource block transmission. In one aspect, the operations can include actions of identifying a set of sub-channels that are not suitable for serving as leading sub-channels for Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) and Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) transmission, and excluding the identified set of sub-channels from a candidate set of resources.

Abstract: Methods to enhance the coverage of NR systems for coverage-limited wireless devices are disclosed. A serving base station may configure a coverage-limited UE with parameters for the UE to operate in a coverage enhancement mode through RRC signaling, DCI, or RAR grant. The UE may use the configuration parameters to determine whether to enter into the coverage enhancement mode when connecting and communicating with the serving base station. The configuration parameters may configure the UE to exploit both time diversity and frequency diversity to extend and enhance coverage when receiving the PDSCH and PDCCH channels, when transmitting the PUSCH and PUCCH channel, and when transmitting PUSCH Msg3 during random access. Advantageously, the base station may flexibly and dynamically configure the UE with coverage enhancement parameters to extend the coverage of the UE using time diversity and frequency diversity gains as the UE moves around.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may transmit hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback when part of a group of UEs. The UE receives a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with a group of UEs that includes the UE. The UE monitors for a signal from one of a cell on which the UE is currently camped or a cell to which the UE is currently connected that is scrambled by the RNTI and includes control information. The UE transmits HARQ feedback to the one of the currently camped cell or currently connected cell, the HARQ feedback associated with the signal and, when the signal is received, performs an operation in response to the control information.
