Abstract: Techniques are provided for Wake up signal monitoring in a radio resource control connected (RRC) mode. An example method can include a base station receiving an indication from a user equipment (UE) of a capability for wake-up signal (WUS) monitoring in a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode while in a sleep state. The base station can configure the UE with a first frequency domain resource for WUS monitoring in the RRC connected mode while in the sleep state. The base station can transmit a WUS using the first frequency domain resource and a first time domain resource, wherein a main radio of the UE is configured to transmit and receive based on the WUS. The base station can transmit a first downlink (DL) transmission.

Abstract: A communication system provides reliable wideband communications with reduced power consumption in a user equipment (UE) receiver. A UE may include receiver circuitry to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal from a wireless network and output an analog baseband signal. The RF signal includes M copies of a duplicated signal in a frequency domain. The analog baseband signal includes the M copies of the duplicated signal uniformly offset from one another in the frequency domain by a bandwidth F and including a gap between adjacent copies. The UE further includes an anti-aliasing analog filter an analog to digital converter (ADC). The ADC samples an output of the anti-aliasing analog filter at a sampling frequency selected to obtain a digital baseband signal comprising a combined digital copy of the M copies of the duplicated signal folded over each other.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may establish communication with a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs) and determine one or more beam failures associated with a first or second TRP based on reference signals received from the first and second TRPs. The UE may then transmit a scheduling request requesting resources for indicating the beam failures associated with the first TRP or second TRPs. Upon receiving a response to the scheduling request allocating resources, the UE may then transmit, using allocated resources, a beam failure indication of the first one or more beam failures associated with the first TRP or second TRP. After receiving a beam failure response from the first or second TRP, the UE may then communicate with the first TRP and the second TRP using one or more new beams based on the beam failure indication and the beam failure response.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for signaling a quasi-colocation (QCL) update in a wireless communication system. A network or base station may indicate to a UE to change a spatial relationship for transmission/reception. The base station may provide aperiodic reference signals for the UE to use in beam tracking according to the new spatial relationship. Optionally, the base station may also provide aperiodic reference signals for time, frequency, and/or phase tracking. Thus, the network may configure the UE to change to the new spatial relationship and use the aperiodic reference signals to quickly complete initial tracking operations.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide channel state information (CSI) measurement based on measuring a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission. A UE may determine the DMRS for the PDSCH transmission with frequency hopping, and measure the DMRS for the PDSCH transmission to determine a CSI measurement. The UE may then report the CSI measurement to a base station.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided to enhance communications for NTN. In some aspects, a base station (BS) comprises a processor configured to schedule an uplink transmission in response to an uplink transmission request from a user equipment (UE) using one or more subframes ranging from a first uplink subframe to a last uplink subframe. The processor is further configured to determine or receive a timing advance (TA) indicating amount of subframes transmitted during a time delay between the UE and the BS and schedule a downlink transmission aligned with the uplink transmission. The downlink transmission is blocked from subframes ranging from TA plus one or more subframes ahead of the first uplink subframe to TA minus one or more subframes ahead of the last uplink subframe. The processor is further configured to transmit and receive, via a non-terrestrial equipment, the uplink and the downlink.
