Abstract: Example embodiments may relate to an apparatus, method and/or computer program for managing timing advance loops. The method may comprise receiving, at a user equipment from a plurality of network nodes, respective downlink reference signals, wherein an antenna system of the user equipment receives the downlink reference signals using a wide beam configuration. The method may also comprise performing measurements on the received downlink reference signals to determine a parameter and for determining that the parameter does not meet a predetermined criteria. Based on the parameter not meeting the predetermined criteria, the method may comprise configuring the antenna system such that at least one of the downlink reference signals is received using a narrow beam configuration. The method may involve re-performing the measurements on downlink reference signals from the plurality of network nodes. Based on the parameter meeting the predetermined criteria, it may be determined that transmission of candidate uplink signals, from the user equipment to the at least one of the plurality of network nodes, can be grouped into one timing advance loop.

Abstract: Devices, methods and computer programs for compensation of residual time-frequency error(s) in communications between a network node device and a client device are disclosed. A network node device determines an auxiliary reference signal indication comprising presence information and location information of an auxiliary reference signal in a physical downlink channel transmission. The network node device transmits to the client device the auxiliary reference signal associated with a physical downlink channel in accordance with the determined auxiliary reference signal indication. The client device uses the received auxiliary reference signal for the compensation of the residual time-frequency error(s) in the communications.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for reporting of feasibility of activated transmission configuration indicator/transmission coordination indication (TCI) states. For example, a user equipment (UE) may determine whether one or more measurements satisfy one or more thresholds for one or more TCI states, and may transmit an indication of whether the one or more measurements satisfy the one or more thresholds. The UE may then deactivate at least one of the one or more activated TCI states, or may activate one or more additional TCI states, based on the indication, and may use one or more of the activated TCI states for a downlink (DL) or uplink (UL) transmission.
