Abstract: A computer readable storage medium, a user equipment, a method and an integrated circuit that are used to perform operations. Operations include receiving, from a network, a plurality of Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmissions in slots of a hybrid automatic repeating request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) window, decoding each of the PDSCH transmissions in the slots of the HARQ window, determining a HARQ-ACK feedback for each PDSCH transmission in the HARQ-ACK window, bundling the HARQ-ACK feedback for at least two of the PDSCH transmissions and reporting the bundled HARQ-ACK feedback for the HARQ window to the network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a 5G NR. In particular, a reduced capability (RedCap) user equipment (UE) can be configured to traverse a synchronization raster to locate a cell-defining synchronization signal block (CD-SSB). The CD-SSB can be used to derive, calculate, or otherwise obtain time/frequency information of a non-cell-defining synchronization signal block (NCD-SSB) which may be monitored and/or measured by the RedCap UE in a more power efficient manner.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for a signaling mechanism for user equipment (UE) assistance feedback in a wireless communication system. At least a radio frequency integrated circuit can be configured to receive a first configuration signal, and transmit a first message comprising a UE assistance feedback, generated based on the first configuration signal, in an uplink (UL) channel. The first message can contain an index of a profile with information on a service requirement, a traffic characteristic, or a combination thereof of a network. A processor, coupled to the radio frequency integrated circuit, can be configured to generate the UE assistance feedback based on the first configuration signal.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for capability reporting for antenna switching, AS, sound reference signals, SRS. A user equipment (UE) can transmit a capability report for AS SRS that includes a plurality of receive antenna (e.g., six or eight receive antenna), and receive SRS instructions based on the capability report. The UE can transmit a first temporary capability reduction for a duration, and transmit a first SRS according to the first temporary capability reduction and the SRS instructions, while maintaining phase continuity. To maintain phase continuity, the UE can calibrate one or more SRS ports participating in the AS SRS to transmit with substantially a same transmit power. The UE can determine that a second SRS overlaps an other transmission in a time domain, determine that the other transmission has an absolute priority over the second SRS, and transmit the other transmission but not the second SRS.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A user equipment is configured to connect to a base station (BS) over a shared channel subject to channel access operations. The UE receives a first configuration for a BS-initiated fixed frame period (FFP) (BS-FFP) and a second configuration for a UE-initiated FFP (UE-FFP), determines that no downlink (DL) transmissions are detected during a predefined time of the BS-FFP and determines that at least one condition associated with an uplink (UL) transmission is satisfied. When no downlink (DL) transmissions are detected during the predefined time of the BS-FFP and the at least one condition is satisfied, the UE performs a UE-initiated channel access operation. When the UE-initiated channel access operation is successful, the UE performs the UL transmission during the UE-FFP.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may be configured to perform layer 1 (L1) measurement procedures and layer 3 (L3) measurement procedures. The UE configures a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) layer 3 (L3) measurement window, identifies a collision between a layer 1 (L1) measurement operation and a L3 measurement operation and omits at least one L1 measurement in response to identifying the collision.

Abstract: Some aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for a wireless system supporting two timing advances in a serving cell for a user equipment (UE) communicating with two different transmission reception points (TRPs). The UE can determine that a first timing advance (TA) group (TAG) and a second TAG are configured for a serving cell based on a configuration received from the base station; and further determine a first TA adjustment value based on a first timing advance command (TAC) and a second TA adjustment value based on a second TAC. The UE can select a TAC from the first TAC or the second TAC to be applied to an uplink transmission. The UE can further select, based the selected TAC, a TAG from the first TAG or the second TAG; and transmit the uplink transmission according to the selected TAC with the selected TAG.
