Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for blind physical broadcast channel detection for narrowband new radio. The method may include detecting at least one synchronization signal. The method may also include determining, in response to detecting the synchronization signal, whether one or more predefined conditions of a user equipment have been met. At least one candidate pattern of a physical broadcast channel may be determined when the one or more predefined conditions have been met. The physical broadcast channel may be received with the at least one candidate pattern of the physical broadcast channel. Based on a determination of whether the physical broadcast channel was correctly received, a system information block physical downlink control channel may be received with the at least one candidate pattern of the physical broadcast channel, or the at least one candidate pattern of the physical broadcast channel may be modified.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product for a user equipment in a wireless communications system to receive configuration information that has one or more TCI-states. With this configuration information, the user equipment can then determine inactivity on TCI-states. Based on that determination, the user equipment enables either a discontinuous monitoring or a cessation of monitoring on those TCI-states. Each TCI-state corresponds to a radio beam and also corresponds to an antenna panel. By reducing such monitoring, the use equipment can deactivate antenna panels corresponding to the TCI-states. The determination can be done through the use of a timer with various time thresholds based on the TCI-state. The activity being transmitted on those beam can be scheduling received by the user equipment from a network element such as a base station. The TCI-states can also be grouped and the functionality of the invention dealt with on a group basis.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved performance. For example, communication systems may benefit from a multi-functional reference signal that allows for the harmonization of different reference signal patterns. A method, in certain embodiments, may include constructing at a base station a reference signal including a plurality of reference signal patterns. The plurality of reference signal patterns can include at least one of a default reference signal pattern or a multi-functional signal pattern for at least one of uplink or downlink. The plurality of reference signal patterns can include at least one of partially overlapping or non-overlapping resource elements. In addition, the plurality of reference signal patterns are constructed dynamically for a specific user or group of users. The method may also include sending the reference signal from the base station to a user equipment.
