    Abstract: A device of a New Radio (NR) User Equipment (UE), a system, a method and a machine-readable medium. The device includes a radio frequency (RF) interface and processing circuitry coupled to the RF interface. The processing circuitry is to: cause communication with a NR evolved Node B (gNodeB) on a first bandwidth part (BWP); determine a BWP switching delay for an uplink (UL) communication from the UE to the gNodeB, the BWP switching delay based on a timing advance (TA) for the UL communication; encode the UL communication for transmission to the gNodeB; switch from the first BWP to a second BWP at an expiration of the BWP switching delay; and cause transmission of the UL communication on the second BWP.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device is configured for performing a signal measurement for wireless communication in a new radio (NR) network. The UE is configured to determine a frequency range (FR) of a serving cell configured to send a signal that is measured by the UE using a signal measurement. The UE configures a measurement gap (MG) pattern to perform the signal measurement. Configuring the measurement gap includes determining that the frequency range of the serving cell includes frequencies of a second frequency range (FR2), determining that a measurement object (MO) configuration for the FR2 is available, setting a measurement gap repetition periodicity (MGRP) value for the signal measurement, and setting a measurement gap length (MGL) value for the signal measurement. The UE performs a signal measurement using the MGRP value and the MGL value.

    Abstract: Serving cell measurements at a reduced capability UE in idle mode in FRI includes identifying an eDRX cycle length associated with the reduced capability UE is longer than or equal to 20.48 s and shorter than or equal to 10, 485.76 s. The eDRX cycle length includes a DRX cycle length. A measurement period associated with a serving cell of the reduced capability UE is determined to occur within a single PTW of the eDRX cycle. The measurement period includes measurement samples to be performed within the single PTW. A length of the single PTW is determined based on a product of the DRX cycle length and a sample scaling factor associated with the measurement samples. The length of the single PTW comprises a multiple of 1.28. Serving cell measurements are performed during the single PTW. The serving cell measurements include each of the measurement samples associated with the measurement period.

    Abstract: Aspects herein relate to wireless devices, circuits, and methods for indicating, by a wireless device, to a wireless station, an ability to support semi-persistent (SP) measurement gap (MG) configuration; receiving, from the wireless station, a SP MG configuration; receiving, from the wireless station, a message to activate the SP MG configuration; performing, in response to receiving the message to activate the SP MG configuration, a target carrier frequency measurement, wherein the target carrier frequency measurement is performed in accordance with the activated SP MG configuration; receiving from the wireless station, a message to deactivate the SP MG configuration; and discontinuing, in response to receiving the message to deactivate the SP MG configuration, the performance of the target carrier frequency measurement. In other aspects, the wireless device may indicate, to the wireless station, an ability to support aperiodic (AP) MG configuration, which does not require explicit deactivation by the wireless station.
