    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for determining a starting point of a measurement gap. For example, the present disclosure is directed to a user equipment (UE) that includes a memory and processor circuitry coupled to the memory. The processor circuitry may be configured to receive an indication of a measurement gap timing advance. The processor circuitry may be further configured to, based on the indication of the measurement gap timing advance, determine a starting point of a measurement gap in a dual connectivity mode that provides dual connectivity with a new radio (NR) and an evolved universal mobile telecommunications system terrestrial radio access (EUTRA). The NR may serve as a master Radio Access Network (RAN) and the EUTRA may serve as a secondary RAN. The processor circuitry may also be configured to perform a signal quality measurement during the measurement gap, wherein the signal quality measurement is performed on a target cell of the NR or EUTRA.

    摘要: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for uplink panel selection with power saving. In some embodiments, user equipment (UE) may experience a positional change. In response, the UE may deactivate a first communication panel to save power and activate a second communication panel. The UE may then transmit a status message to a communication node indicating the activation and/or deactivation. The node may then register this activation and/or deactivation. In some embodiments, the node may monitor uplink slots from the first and second communication panel to identify the activation and deactivation. For example, if the node detects an absence of an uplink signal within a slot threshold, the node may identify the panel as being deactivated. The node may establishing communications with another panel based on a detected signal and/or the status message.

    摘要: A method and apparatus of a device that acquires transmission configuration indicator (TCI) information for secondary cell (SCell) activation. In some embodiments, the TCI information is acquired for SCell activation by determining, during secondary cell (SCell) activation, that beam information to enable a user equipment (UE) to make a reliable layer 1 (L1)-Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) measurement report is unavailable, perform the L1-RSRP measurement using information of one or more Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs) during the SCell activation, wherein the one or more processors perform the L1-RSRP measurement using information of one or more SSBs during the SCell activation by identifying, by the UE, one or more detectable SSBs during the SCell activation and using information of the one or more detectable SSBs for the L1-RSRP measurement

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for time domain resource allocations in wireless communications systems. Disclosed embodiments include time-domain symbol determination and/or indication using a combination of higher layer and downlink control information signaling for physical downlink shared channel and physical uplink shared channel; time domain resource allocations for mini-slot operations; rules for postponing and dropping for multiple mini-slot transmission; and collision handling of sounding reference signals with semi-statically or semi-persistently configured uplink transmissions. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    摘要: A user equipment (UE) monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). The UE receives a configuration for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including repetitions for PDCCH candidates comprising first PDCCH data, wherein the PDCCH candidates are repeated across multiple durations of a DL resource grid, detects, based on a repetition detection scheme, each of the PDCCH candidates and combines soft bits from each of the PDCCH candidates, wherein the combined soft bits are jointly decoded to determine the first PDCCH data and calculates a number of blind decodes (BDs) for the durations of the DL resource grid carrying the PDCCH candidates, wherein at least one BD value for the PDCCH candidates is scaled by a scaling factor for the calculation of the number of BDs.

    摘要: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for supporting channel state information (CSI) report configuration for network spatial elements adaptation. The UE can receive a CSI report configuration from the base station indicating a first configuration to configure a first CSI report, and a second configuration to configure a second CSI report. The UE can determine one or more active configurations selected from the first configuration and the second configuration, based on whether one or more of the first configuration or the second configuration is activated by a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (MAC CE) or triggered by a Downlink Control Information (DCI). The processor can be further configured to select, based on a report mode, one or more CSI reports from the first CSI report and the second CSI report. The report mode can be a basic mode or an enhanced mode.
