    摘要: A base station (BS) may receive a plurality of repetitions of a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) from a user equipment (UE), and accumulate the received repetitions to obtain a resultant signal. The ability to accumulate repetitions enables the base station to experience a higher probability of successful recovery of the PUCCH payload bits than if decoding were based on the reception of a non-repeated transmission of the PUCCH. The base station may configure the number of repetitions, the temporal gap between the repetitions, and mode of repetition of the PUCCH. In an intra-slot mode, more than one copy may be received from each configured slot, with or without frequency hopping. In an inter-slot mode, one copy is received per configured slot. Different repetitions may be transmitted by the UE in different directions, according to a spatial consistency pattern.

    摘要: Technology is provided for supporting different numerologies for concurrent intra-frequency measurements and downlink data reception. A user equipment (UE) may send a message to the a wireless network to indicate whether the UE supports a mixed numerology wherein a different subcarrier spacing (SCS) is used in a serving cell or a neighboring cell for concurrent processing of at least two of: intra-frequency measurement by the UE of a synchronization signal block (SSB); intra-frequency measurement by the UE of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for mobility; and reception by the UE of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). Based on the indication, the network may configure at least one of a CSI-RS measurement expectation, an SSB measurement expectation, and a scheduling restriction for reception of the PDCCH or the PDSCH by the UE.

    摘要: A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit a scheduling request (SR) to a second UE which causes the second UE to determine a set of sidelink transmission resources for use by the UE. The UE may then receive information regarding a determined set of sidelink transmission resources from the second UE and then transmit sidelink communications using at least a subset of the determined set of sidelink transmission resources. The determined set of sidelink transmission resources may be recommended and reserved or non-reserved resources. The UE may transmit configuration information concerning transmission resources to the second UE to be used in transmitting, the SR. The second UE may monitor the channel for arrival of the resources. The SR may be encoded as a cyclic shift of the SR corresponding to an ACK-only sequence, an ACK/NACK sequence, or a certain sequence of the SR based on a configuration index.
