Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for control channel monitoring. In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method that includes receiving, at the user equipment, an indication of a codepoint activation, wherein the codepoint activation indicates that a transmission configuration indicator state being activated is associated with a second physical cell identifier different from a first physical cell identifier of a serving cell of the user equipment; and in response to the transmission configuration indicator state being activated in association with the second physical cell identifier, suspending control channel monitoring of at least one set of core resources associated with the first physical cell identifier of the serving cell of the user equipment. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to reporting beam failure. A terminal device detects a beam failure on one or more serving cells of the terminal device. If the beam failure is detected on the one or more serving cells, the terminal device obtains information concerning one or more candidate beams and the one or more serving cells. Each of the one or more candidate beams is associated with a respective one of the one or more serving cells. The terminal device then transmits at least a portion of the information to a network device associated with the one or more serving cells.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, an apparatus may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code can be configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least receive at least one random access preamble from user equipment. The at least one memory and the computer program code can be further configured to, configure at least one backoff indicator. The at least one memory and the computer program code can be further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least transmit the at least one backoff indicator and at least one backoff configuration indicator to the user equipment. The at least one backoff configuration indicator is used to indicate how the at least one backoff indicator is applied.
