Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for downlink data buffering considering cross carrier scheduling in a wireless communication system are disclosed herein. In one method, the UE receives configuration of a first serving cell and a second serving cell from a network. The UE receives and/or monitors a first PDCCH transmitted on a scheduling CORESET of the second serving cell, wherein the first PDCCH schedules a first PDSCH transmitted on the first serving cell. The UE receives and/or monitors a second PDCCH transmitted on a scheduling CORESET of the second serving cell, wherein the second PDCCH schedules a second PDSCH transmitted on the second serving cell. The UE receives and/or buffers the second PDSCH via a TCI state used for PDCCH quasi co-location indication of the CORESET with the lowest CORESET-ID in the latest slot in which one or more CORESETs are configured for the UE, before the UE decodes successfully the second PDCCH. The UE does not receive and/or buffer the first PDSCH before the UE decodes successfully the first PDCCH.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a UE capable of performing UE beamforming. In one embodiment, the method includes the UE receiving a control signaling on a first set of UE beam(s). In addition, the method includes the UE receiving a data transmission scheduled by the control signaling on a second set of UE beam(s), wherein the UE receives the data transmission with a time delay after receiving the control signaling.
Abstract:
Facilitation detection of control channels with different transmission time intervals (TTIs) in wireless communications systems is described herein. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises: monitoring, by a mobile device comprising a processor, a first control channel in the beginning of a first TTI; and receiving, by the mobile device, a first downlink control information (DCI) on the first control channel in the first TTI, wherein information of the first DCI indicates a pattern of a second TTI associated with a second control channel, and wherein the second control channel occurs later than the first control channel and the second TTI is shorter than the first TTI. The computer-implemented method can also comprise determining, by the mobile device, whether to monitor the second control channel of the second TTI based on the information of the first DCI.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for improving power consumption for an activated cell in a wireless communication system are disclosed herein. In one method, a user equipment (UE) receives a configuration of at least one bandwidth part for a cell. The UE performs a reception for the cell with a bandwidth associated with a first bandwidth part when a first bandwidth part of the cell is active. The UE does not perform the reception for the cell when a second bandwidth part of the cell is active.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for improving a transmission using a configured resource in a wireless communication system. In one embodiment, the method includes an uplink grant is available for the UE in a TTI, wherein the UE does not have data available for transmission. The method further includes the UE transmitting a physical control information on a data channel according to the uplink grant if the physical control information needs to be transmitted in the TTI. The method also includes the UE skipping the uplink grant if the physical control information does not need to be transmitted in the TTI.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a UE. In one embodiment, the method includes transmitting a power related information corresponding to a specific UE beam and/or a specific UE beam combination of multiple UE beams to a base station. In one embodiment, the method further includes receiving an indication from the base station about the power related information of which UE beam and/or UE beam combination is to be reported.
Abstract:
Uplink transmission in shorted transmission time intervals is provided herein. A method can comprise receiving, by a device comprising a processor, a first downlink control information related to scheduling a first uplink data transmission via a first transmission time interval. The method can also comprise receiving, by the device, a second downlink control information related to scheduling a second uplink data transmission via a second transmission time interval, wherein the second uplink data transmission overlaps at least a symbol with the first uplink data transmission. The method can also transmitting, by the device, the first uplink data transmission or the second uplink data transmission based on prioritization determined based on a first length of the first transmission time interval and a second length of the second transmission time interval.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for handling transmission in a wireless communication system. In one embodiment, the method includes initiating a RA procedure, by a UE, in a serving cell. The method also includes deciding whether to transmit a RA Preamble, by the UE, in the serving cell at a specific timing during the RA procedure based on at least one information that includes beam(s) (or beam group(s)) of the serving cell detected by the UE.
Abstract:
Control structures and techniques for transmission time interval (TTI) shortening in wireless communication systems are provided. Exemplary techniques can comprise establishing a UE device connection to a base station having a first TTI, wherein the UE device is configured to employ TTI shortening and has a second TTI different from the first TTI and monitoring a first short physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) region for a scheduled downlink (DL) transmission via the second TTI, wherein a time distribution associated with multiple second TTIs within the first TTI is determined based on a control format indicator (CFI) value indicated via the first TTI. Exemplary techniques can further comprise receiving a DL transmission via the second TTI and transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) acknowledgement (ACK) (HARQ-ACK) feedback on an associated UL channel for HARQ-ACK feedback, wherein for a number of DL transmissions via the second TTI within one of the first TTI on the associated DL, a number of associated UL channels for HARQ-ACK feedback occur within the same one of the first TTI on the associated UL. Further control structures and techniques for TTI shortening for wireless communication systems are described.
