Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for reducing interferences for Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) by, for example, one or more of frequency domain interference randomization, code domain interference randomization, or power control. For example, a user equipment (UE) can be configured to determine a comb offset and/or a cyclic shift for each Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission occasion for the UE. The comb offset and/or the cyclic shift change between different SRS transmission occasions of the UE. The UE is further configured to transmit an SRS to the base station using the determined comb offset and/or the determined cyclic shift during the SRS transmission occasion corresponding.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method, and/or computer program product and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for explicit power saving operations for a network-controlled repeater (NCR) in a wireless network. Some embodiments include an NCR that can receive a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format comprising an offset indication in a single Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) monitoring periodicity, KS, where KS is an integer of slots. The NCR can determine a single On-Off Pattern (OOP) within KS based at least on the offset indication, and communicate with a base station or a user equipment (UE) based at least on the determination. In some embodiments, an Off-State of the NCR is a default, and the offset indication identifies a duration of an On-State of the NCR beginning at a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of KS.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for a user equipment (UE) to determine a transmission frequency or a time advance for an uplink transmission from the UE to a base station in a non-terrestrial wireless network (NTN) without global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) information available to the UE. A communication connection between the UE and a base station can be established. The UE can determine that GNSS information is not available, and report to the base station that the GNSS information is not available. The UE can receive, from the base station, an indication of one or more parameters for an uplink transmission from the UE to synchronize the uplink transmission. The UE can determine, based on a current transmission frequency and the received indication of the one or more parameters, a next transmission frequency and transmit the uplink transmission at the determined next transmission frequency.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for port selection codebook configuration. A user equipment (UE) may decode a channel state information (CSI) report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) from a base station. The CSI-ReportConfig indicates up to L CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) ports for selection by the UE out of P CSI-RS ports configured for measuring and reporting CSI. The UE determines selected CSI-RS ports out of the P CSI-RS ports. The selected CSI-RS ports include the L CSI-RS ports or less. The UE generates a port selection matrix W1 corresponding to the selected CSI-RS ports. The UE also generates an indication of the port selection matrix W1 to the base station. The CSI-ReportConfig may further configure the UE to select a subset of frequency basis. The UE determines a selected subset of frequency basis and generates a frequency basis selection matrix Wf corresponding to the selected subset of frequency basis.

Abstract: A base station of a network configures a first search space having a first search space identification (SearchSpaceld) in a special cell (SpCell) and a second search space having a second search space identification (SearchSpaceld) in a secondary cell (SCell) for monitoring control signaling that schedules operations on the SpCell. The base station transmits a radio resource control (RRC) configuration to a user equipment (UE) including the first SSID and the second SSID, wherein the RRC configuration configures the UE to monitor the first search space having the first SSID for scheduling of a first type of control signaling and the second search space having the second SSID for scheduling of a second type of control signaling.

Abstract: Supporting transmission of multiple hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgments (HARQ-ACKS) within a single slot may include encoding a first HARQ-ACK and a second HARQ-ACK within the single slot for transmission to a base station. The first HARQ-ACK may be transmitted via a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and the second HARQ-ACK may be transmitted via a second PUCCH. Based on encoding the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK within the single slot, one or more additional uplink (UL) signals colliding with at least one of the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK within the single slot may be responded to based on a configuration of the UE.

Abstract: Some aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for a network to trigger the UE to obtain synchronization with one or more cell neighbors in the network. Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for measuring and using TA for a beam group and for uplink signal multiplexing. For example, a UE includes a transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with a serving cell and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor receives, from the serving cell, a first message indicating Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) resource configuration associated with a neighbor cell. The processor further receives a second message to trigger transmission of a PRACH message to the neighbor cell. The processor further generates the PRACH message responsive to the second message and according to the PRACH resource configuration cell and transmits the PRACH message to the neighbor cell.

Abstract: A repeater configured to receive, on a side control channel from a component of a network, side control information including parameters at least for determining time domain resources on which to apply an indicated beam for uplink (UL) transmission reception or downlink (DL) transmission forwarding with a user equipment (UE) on an access link, determine, from the received parameters, whether to apply the indicated beam to a transmission (Tx) spatial filter, a reception (Rx) spatial filter, or both the Tx and Rx spatial filters and apply the indicated beam to the determined Tx spatial filter, Rx spatial filter, or both the Tx and Rx spatial filters for the determined time domain resources when forwarding the DL transmission to the UE or receiving the UL transmission from the UE for forwarding to the network.
