Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for CCA power signaling during COT sharing. A UE may report a maximum EIRP for COT sharing as a UE capability, e.g., for a frequency range between 52.6 and 71 gigahertz. The UE may receive a Pout value for CCA based on the UE capability and may report an actual EIRP used for CCA to acquire the COT. For configured grant COT sharing, the UE may perform a directional LBT with a specific EIRP and beam detection for a transmission burst and report a Pout value for COT sharing based on the directional LBT, e.g., via a configured grant uplink control indication. For dynamic grant COT sharing, the UE may detect that an EIRP exceeds a threshold and report a Pout value for COT sharing via a medium access control (MAC) control element. The threshold may be based on a closed loop power control setting.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for a wireless network to enable multiple-transmission reception point (multi-TRP) uplink (UL) time division multiplexed (TDMed) repetition transmission. The network may receive, from a user equipment (UE), beam measurements of downlink reference signals associated with a plurality of UL transmission beams from the UE to the multi-TRP. Based on criteria associated with the beam measurements received from the UE, the network enables the UE for the multi-TRP UL TDMed repetition transmission using the plurality of UL transmission beams. In addition, or in other scenarios, coordination is provided between the network and the UE to improve UL TDMed repetition transmissions when a UE switches between antenna panels.

Abstract: Methods to enhance the coverage of NR systems for coverage-limited wireless devices are disclosed. A serving base station may configure a coverage-limited UE with parameters for the UE to operate in a coverage enhancement mode through RRC signaling, DCI, or RAR grant. The UE may use the configuration parameters to determine whether to enter into the coverage enhancement mode when connecting and communicating with the serving base station. The configuration parameters may configure the UE to exploit both time diversity and frequency diversity to extend and enhance coverage when receiving the PDSCH and PDCCH channels, when transmitting the PUSCH and PUCCH channel, and when transmitting PUSCH Msg3 during random access. Advantageously, the base station may flexibly and dynamically configure the UE with coverage enhancement parameters to extend the coverage of the UE using time diversity and frequency diversity gains as the UE moves around.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may transmit hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback when part of a group of UEs. The UE receives a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with a group of UEs that includes the UE. The UE monitors for a signal from one of a cell on which the UE is currently camped or a cell to which the UE is currently connected that is scrambled by the RNTI and includes control information. The UE transmits HARQ feedback to the one of the currently camped cell or currently connected cell, the HARQ feedback associated with the signal and, when the signal is received, performs an operation in response to the control information.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for sounding reference signal (SRS) coverage enhancement. A user equipment device (UE) may receive a configuration for SRS time domain bundling from a base station and may transmit, to the base station, at least one SRS transmission in accordance with the configuration. The configuration may include an indication of (and/or indicate) one or more SRS transmission occasions. The configuration may be communicated via higher layer signaling or physical layer signaling. The RRC parameter may be an SRS-ResourceSet parameter or an SRS-Resource parameter and may include a nrofSlots parameter to indicate the number of slots, where a slot may correspond to an SRS transmission occasion. The MAC CE may include at least four bits indicating the number of slots. The DCI may include at least one field indicating the number of slots.

Abstract: Methods, circuitries, and systems are disclosed for configuring multiple PDSCH/PUSCH transmission with repetition of each transmission. In one example, a method includes receiving, from a base station, control information that indicates i) time domain resources for communication of at least two physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or at least two physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions and ii) at least one repetition number indicating a number of times each of the at least two PDSCH/PUSCH transmissions is repeated. The method includes configuring operation to receive the at least two PDSCH transmissions or to transmit the at least two PUSCH transmissions based on the time domain resources and repetition number.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) associated with a wireless communication network is disclosed. The UE comprises one or more processors configured to form a sidelink group with one or more other UEs associated with the wireless communication network. In some aspects, the one or more processors are further configured to receive a sidelink (SL) groupcast message from a select UE of the one or more other UEs of the sidelink group, the SL groupcast message comprising a SL channel state information (CSI) request and a transmission of a SL channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). In some aspects, the one or more processors are further configured to process the SL groupcast message; and selectively provide an SL CSI report derived based on a measured SL CSI, to the select UE, in response to processing the SL groupcast message.

Abstract: User equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for multi-transmission reception point (TRP) reception, the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling. The RRC signaling includes configuration information configuring a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states. A media access control (MAC) control element (CE) is decoded, where the MAC CE indicates multiple active TCI states of the configured plurality of TCI states. Multiple received beams are determined using the multiple active TCI states. Downlink information is decoded, where the downlink information originates from multiple TRPs and is received via the determined multiple receive beams associated with the multiple active TCI states.

Abstract: Dynamic scheduling can be performed by 5G new radio in the licensed or unlicensed band. A UE can be polled by receiving a DCI that indicates dynamically updated resources. UE can be configured to find the DCI and use the resources to send a scheduling request (SR). Other aspects are described.
