    Abstract: Beamforming measurement techniques based on PSS/SSS are disclosed. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode a configuration message from a source serving cell, the configuration message indicating signal selection criteria for cell measurement reporting. A synchronization signal (SS) burst set associated with one or more transmission/reception points (TRPs) within a neighboring cell is decoded, the SS burst set including a plurality of SS blocks. A cell beamforming measurement signal associated with the neighboring cell is generated, based on signal measurements of the SS blocks and the signal selection criteria. A radio resource management (RRM) measurement report message is encoded for transmission to the serving cell, the measurement report message including the cell beamforming measurement signal. A handover command message for initiating a handover to the neighboring cell is decoded, the handover command based on the cell beamforming measurement signal.

    Abstract: Technology for a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) operable to encode a primary synchronization signal for transmission to a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The gNB can identify a sequence d(n) for a primary synchronization signal. The sequence d(n) can be defined by: d(n)=1−2s(n), where s(n) is a maximum run length sequence (m-sequence) and s(n) is provided as s(n+7)=(s(n+4)+s(n))mod 2, where 0≤n≤127. The gNB can generate the primary synchronization signal based on the sequence d(n). The gNB can encode the primary synchronization signal for transmission to the UE.

    Abstract: A method for unicast communication over sidelink includes transmitting a direct communication request message from a source user equipment (UE) to one or more destination UEs. A direct communication response is received at the source UE from at least one of the one or more destination UEs, with the response including context information and a destination sidelink ID for the at least one UE. The context information of the at least one UE is stored in association with an ID pair comprising the destination sidelink ID and a source sidelink ID.
