Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for signaling cross-division duplex configurations. One of the methods includes identifying, by a first device and for a first link with a second device, a switch in a first bandwidth part to a second bandwidth part for the first link, the first link associated with a second link having a third bandwidth part; determining, by the first device, whether a bandwidth band between the second bandwidth part and the third bandwidth part satisfies a threshold guard band; and selectively determining to maintain the third bandwidth part for the second link or to switch the third bandwidth part to a fourth bandwidth part for the second link using a result of the determination whether the bandwidth band between the second bandwidth part and the third bandwidth part satisfies the threshold guard band.

Abstract: Systems and methods for beam failure recovery (BFR) are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) receives downlink (DL) reference signal(s) on corresponding beam(s) from a base station. The UE performs beam failure detection (BFD) on such beams used for user data to determine whether a beam failure has occurred, and candidate beam detection (CBD) on such beams not used for user data to identify candidate beams for recovering from the beam failure. The BFD and the CBD are based on both uplink (UL) channel performance considerations and DL channel performance considerations, as determined using the DL reference signal(s), such that a beam failure may be determined in the UL, the DL, or both, and a candidate beam may be identified for UL, DL, or both. The UE sends a beam failure recovery request BFRQ with this information to the base station, and the system changes beams accordingly.

Abstract: Systems and methods for networks having user equipment (UE) that can perform measurement/reporting of received signals and a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission that is part of an SRS antenna port switching procedure are described herein. In some circumstances, the measurement and the SRS antenna port switching procedure overlap on one or more symbols. Across various embodiments, the UE prioritizes one of the measurement and the SRS antenna port switching procedure based on one or more of a scheduling type (periodic, semi-persistent, aperiodic) of the measurement, a scheduling type of a channel state information (CSI) report for a measurement result for the measurement, and/or a scheduling type of the SRS transmission of the SRS antenna port switching procedure. Networks that avoid overlaps by scheduling SRS transmissions away from UE signal measurements, or transmissions of signals to be measured away from UE SRS antenna port switching procedures, are also described.

Abstract: An example method for wireless communication includes: transmitting to a base station, via a user device: (1) a capability report for each of a plurality of antenna panels; and (2) an initial antenna panel index; receiving, from the base station, configuration information corresponding to each antenna panel of the plurality of antenna panels; selecting a first antenna panel for a first uplink (UL) transmission to the base station, wherein the first antenna panel corresponds to the antenna panel with the initial antenna panel index; selecting first configuration information corresponding to the selected first antenna panel; and transmitting the first UL transmission to the base station, using the selected first antenna panel and the selected first configuration information. In other aspects, rather than initially receiving configuration information corresponding to each antenna panel, the user device may receive the configuration information for each panel as it is selected for an UL transmission.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein use channel state information (CSI) reports from a user equipment (UE) having additional CSI beyond CSI directly derived according to a current MIMO configuration between a base station and the UE. In some embodiments, a channel quality indicator (CQI) according to a selected layer of a plurality of layers used to receive the MIMO transmission as determined relative to the MIMO transmission is reported. In some embodiments, a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) according to a selected layer of a plurality of layers useable to receive rank 1 transmissions is reported along with a CQI determined according to that layer, or according to a layer used to receive the MIMO transmission as determined relative to the MIMO transmission. In some embodiments, a base station configures a UE to report more fulsome CSI according to each of a plurality of ranks.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for providing and managing reception feedback for multicast and broadcast services (MBS). A base station (BS) may select and communicate, to a group of user equipment devices (UEs), configuration parameters for MBS communications, such as an indication of an MBS retransmission procedure for an MBS service. The BS may also transmit, to the group of UEs, an MBS data communication. A first UE may receive the MBS data communication, but may determine that the received MBS data communication is corrupted. The first UE may respond by transmitting, to the BS, a negative-acknowledgement (NACK) message. The BS may retransmit the MBS data communication either as an MBS transmission or as a unicast transmission, based on the configuration parameters. The first UE may monitor the appropriate resources to receive the retransmitted MBS data communication, based on the configuration parameters.
