Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a synchronization signal block beam sweep enabled smart meter. A method may include receiving information on an allocation of a plurality of synchronization signal blocks from a network element. One or more synchronization signal blocks may be received from the network element. The one or more synchronization signal blocks may be configured with corresponding random access channel opportunities. The one or more synchronization signal blocks may be repeated in specific angular directions. A correct synchronization signal block beam may be configured at a correct time based on the random access channel opportunities. An indication may be received from the network element of which user equipment within a sector of a repeater element has connected on which random access channel opportunities.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) uplink (UL) budget prioritization for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) are provided. For example, with a restricted UL power budget under MPE event duration, the user equipment (UE) may prioritize the transmissions of control signals (e.g., PUCCH, medium access control control element (MAC CE), or PUSCH carrying measurement report only) over PUSCH carrying UL user plane traffic.
