Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configures radio resource management (RRM) relaxation in extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) in cases with or without a paging transmission window (PTW). The UE determines whether an eDRX cycle is configured as being greater or less than 10.24 seconds; determine whether the UE has met legacy RRM relaxation criteria for a relaxation scaling factor k; and configures RRM relaxation timing based on use of a paging transmission window (PTW) and the relaxation scaling factor k.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing timing advance (TA) validation at a user equipment (UE) for a TA to be used when transmitting a configured grant small data transmission (CG-SDT). Mechanisms for bounding one or more measurement windows during which one or more synchronization signal blocks are measured during a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement method of the TA validation are discussed, and may be set using information corresponding to timing drift due to relativistic effects, clock differences between a UE and a base station, and/or information about a UE discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. Further, time interval limitations between various events attendant to such an RSRP measurement method are discussed as being determined using information corresponding to timing drift due to relativistic effects, clock differences between a UE and a base station, information about a DRX cycle used at the UE, and/or a maximum TA timer duration.

Abstract: A wireless communication system may adapt physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring behaviors using downlink control information (DCI). The change in monitoring behavior may be skipping or switching. The timeline for applying switching or skipping may be applied after a reference point and a processing time. In some embodiments, the processing time may be either based on UE processing, network processing, or a combination.

Abstract: A cellular base station (BS) which transmits more flexible downlink control information (DCI) to the UE, and a UE capable of receiving and processing a received DCI message. The DCI message may have a DCI format of 0_1 or 0_2 and further may comprise an UL-SCH set to 0, a CSI request field of all 0s and an SRS request field having a nonzero value. The DCI message may indicate to the UE that the UE should: 1) transmit an aperiodic SRS corresponding to SRS request; and 2) that the UE should not transmit on the PUSCH. The DCI may include existing fields that specify either a slot offset or beam information useable when transmitting the aperiodic SRS. The base station may also generate a DCI message with an SRS trigger that is targeted to a plurality of UEs in a group, or a plurality of groups of UEs, for greater efficiency.

Abstract: Techniques described herein may include a special scheduling cell (sSCell) provided for dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS). The sSCell may schedule a primary cell of a master cell group (MCG) or a primary cell of a secondary cell group (SCG). The primary cell may be referred to as a special cell or SpCell. The sSCell may be activated and/or deactivated, enter in or exit from a state of dormancy, and radio link monitoring (RLM), beam failure recovery (BFR), and cell grouping parameters may be provided. Techniques described herein include configuring a UE-specific search space (USS) with non-fallback downlink control information (DCI), USS with fallback DCI, and overall search space for DSS enhancement.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to determine to perform a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission with an antenna port switch operation, wherein the SRS transmission with the antenna port switch operation is performed during an SRS transmission occasion comprising one or more symbols of a slot and apply one or more scheduling restriction rules corresponding to the SRS transmission with the antenna port switch to provide one or more scheduling restrictions for the UE, wherein the scheduling restrictions cause the UE to omit performing at least one of transmission operations or reception operations during one or more symbols of the slot or one or more symbols of an adjacent slot.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing transmission of nominal repetitions of data over an unlicensed spectrum. One or more nominal repetitions of data are to be transmitted by a user equipment (UE) over an unlicensed spectrum used for both uplink and downlink transmissions. The one or more nominal repetitions of the data are segmented into multiple actual repetitions of portions of the data. The UE identifies an orphan symbol in an actual repetition of the multiple actual repetitions of portions of the data, and determines a filler symbol to replace the orphan symbol in the actual repetition. In addition, the UE transmits the multiple actual repetitions including the filler symbol in replacement of the orphan symbol to a base station over the unlicensed spectrum.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for performing fast beam switching in a high-frequency wireless communication environment. Higher frequencies reduce transmission wavelength, which allows for an increased number of antennas and an increased number of beams. Therefore, beams become narrower and are more prone to failure. The UE must be capable of quickly identifying the beam failure and switching to a new beam. Therefore, the UE is capable of receiving multiple beams from the base station and configures both for testing and immediate use. In some cases, the UE can receive multiple beams for testing and assumes a default beam while feeding back to the base station a preferred beam. To support the larger number of available beams, MAC-CE and DCI are modified to identify this increased number of states. Alternatively, two MAC-CEs are sent, each containing a different group of states, and the DCI identifies both the group and the selected state.
