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: In an example method, a user equipment (UE) device receives a plurality of Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) beams transmitted by base stations (BSes) during discovery burst transmission windows (DBTWs). For each of the SSB beams, the UE device determines an index value of the SSB beam (lSSB) within a respective one of the DBTWs, and determines a value Z=lSSB mod NSSDQCL, where NSSBQCL represents a maximum allowable number of SSB beams transmitted by each of the BSes during a single DBTW. The UE device determines whether two or more of the SSB beams are quasi co-located based on the values Z for the SSB beams, and processes wireless signals received from the BSes based on the determination.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for configuring default beams by a base station are disclosed and include determining configuration information that specifies a default Physical Uplink Control Channel/Sounding Reference Signal (PUCCH/SRS) beam and pathloss Reference Signal (RS) for a User Equipment (UE), and transmitting to the UE the configuration information identifying a default configuration for the default PUCCH/SRS beam and pathloss reference signal (RS). The default PUCCH/SRS beam and pathloss RS configured by the UE are based on the configuration information and a monitored Control Resource Set (CORESET) with a lowest CORESET identifier (ID) selected among a set of CORESETs in a same Bandwidth Part (BWP). The monitored CORESET selected may include two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. The default PUCCH/SRS beam and pathloss RS configured is based on a TCI first among the two TCI states or a TCI state with a lowest ID among the two TCI states.

Abstract: A sidelink transmission and an uplink transmission that is carrying a sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) are both scheduled for transmission in a shared time window. If a priority associated with the sidelink HARQ is considered to be higher than a priority associated with the sidelink transmission, then a higher priority is assigned to the uplink transmission, regardless of whether the uplink transmission contains other uplink data. Otherwise, if the uplink transmission does not carry other uplink data, then the higher priority is assigned to the sidelink transmission. Greater transmission resources are given to the transmission with the higher priority.

Abstract: An example method for wireless communication includes: configuring a wireless device to access a wireless network using a set of at least three components carriers (CCs); dividing the at least three component carriers into groups of component carriers based on whether the component carriers share a span pattern and a starting span for monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of each component carrier; determining a number of non-overlapping control channel elements (CCE) to monitor for each group of component carriers; and configuring the wireless device to monitor the non-overlapping CCEs based on the determined number to monitor for each group.

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 base station may transmit beam indication information to one or more user equipment (UE) devices. For each of a plurality of time units (e.g., symbols) in a time interval (e.g., spanning one or more slots), the beam indication information indicates a corresponding beam that the base station will use to transmit or receive. A UE device may have knowledge of the beam in which it currently resides, e.g., by performing power measurements during a beam scan procedure. Thus, the beam indication information enables the UE to perform transmissions and/or receptions (e.g., configured transmissions and/or receptions) during the appropriate time unit(s). The beam indication information may be dynamically transmitted as part of downlink control information. This transmission may omni-directional, wide beam, or narrow beam. Various schemes of encoding the beam indication information are contemplated.

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.
