Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform PUCCH repetition based on signaling from at least one base station. The UE may connect to at least one base station. The UE may receive signaling from the at least one base station configuring physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission. The signaling may indicate a plurality of PUCCH resources for PUCCH repetition. The signaling may indicate a plurality of beams for PUCCH repetition. Based on the signaling from the at least one base station, the UE may transmit the PUCCH a plurality of times using the plurality of PUCCH resources and the plurality of beams.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to use multiple beams for transmission or reception. The UE receives, from a base station, at least one medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) that indicates multiple activated transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, receives, from the base station, at least one downlink control information (DCI) indicating a subset of TCI states of the multiple activated TCI states, wherein the MAC CE and the DCI are part of a TCI configuration, and wherein the subset of TCI states corresponds to multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) of a wireless network, maps the subset of TCI states to the corresponding multiple TRPs based on the TCI configuration and selects a beam used for transmission or reception based on one mapped TCI state of the mapped subset of TCI states.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) supports an independent measurement gap configuration. The UE transmits an indication to a currently camped cell indicating that the UE supports an independent measurement gap configuration for new radio in an unlicensed spectrum (NR-U), receives measurement gap configuration information from the currently camped cell, configures a measurement gap pattern based on the measurement gap configuration information and receives a signal from a cell during a measurement gap of the measurement gap pattern.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are related to a method performed by a user equipment (UE). The method includes selecting a candidate resource set with a plurality of candidate resources from a resource selection window. The plurality of candidate resources includes a reserved resource that is reserved by at least one other UE. The method includes determining that the reserved resource is associated with a priority level PRX that is higher than a transmission priority level PTX associated with the UE. The method further includes excluding the reserved resource from the candidate resource set based at least in part on the determining.

Abstract: A base station maps physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates and PDCCH transmissions for multi-transmission reception point (TRP) operation. The base station determines that a control resource set (CORESET) is to be shared by at least a first TRP and a second TRP corresponding to a cell of a network, performs resource element group (REG) bundle to virtual REG bundle mapping on a per TRP basis, wherein multiple REG bundles are indexed on the per TRP basis, performs virtual REG bundle interleaving across the first TRP and the second TRP, performs control channel element (CCE) to interleaved REG bundle mapping and transmits downlink control information (DCI) using the CORESET, wherein the CORESET is configured based on, at least, the CCE to interleaved REG bundle mapping.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for reducing likelihood of Random Access Channel (RACH) transmission blockages and thereby facilitate an initial access procedure for new radio (NR) unlicensed spectrum (NR-U) operation in a fifth generation (5G) wireless communication system including an NR node. In some embodiments, a parameter generated by a gNB and received by a UE indicates that, from among a set of consecutive RACH Occasions (ROs), a gap is available for performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure before commencing a RACH transmission.
