Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a user equipment (UE) to perform frequency offset (FO) delta tracking. For an anchor component carrier (CC), the UE wakes up to perform tracking updates on a plurality of successive DRX cycles. For the non-anchor CC, the UE determines a minimum update interval Δtupd, and schedules wake-ups on a first subset of the plurality of successive DRX cycles based on the minimum update interval Δtupd. For the first subset of the plurality of successive DRX cycles with scheduled wake-ups, the UE performs the tracking updates on the non-anchor CC and updates an FO delta between the anchor CC and the non-anchor CC. For a second subset of the plurality of successive DRX cycles without the scheduled wake-ups on the non-anchor CC, the UE applies the FO delta to correct for a frequency error.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: determining time or frequency synchronization information for each of one or more candidate synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) for a secondary cell (SCell) before receipt of a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state activation command or a SCell activation command, receiving the TCI state activation command, and based on the received TCI state activation command, receiving at least one signal from the SCell using the determined time or frequency synchronization information for one of the one or more candidate SSBs.

Abstract: The present application relates to scheduling SSB measurements on SSB beams. In an example, a base station can transmit SSBs on SSB beams that form a serving cell. Depending on an SSB measurement on one of the SSB beams, a UE can schedule an additional SSB measurement on this SSB beam only or schedule SSB measurements on the different SSB beams.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to provide adaptive physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring. In particular, a unified signaling technique for adaptive PDCCH search space monitoring is descried. This signaling can indicate either one or a combination of the switching and skipping. In an example, the signaling includes multiple parts. In a first part, radio resource control (RRC) signaling is sent from the network to the device to configure the device for switching only, skipping only, or switching and skipping. In a second part, first DCI is sent from the network to the device to indicate the particular PDCCH monitoring configuration to use for the PDCCH search space monitoring. Thereafter, network sends second DCI in the relevant PDCCH search space, where this second DCI schedules traffic. The device performs blind decoding to determine the second DCI in order to exchange the traffic.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that switches bandwidth parts for a user equipment device and a base station is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives an indication to switch to the bandwidth part for the user equipment on the wireless link from the base station. In addition, the device switches to the new bandwidth part for the user equipment. The device further signals that the switching to the new bandwidth part has occurred in a time period smaller than a predefined time period. The deice additionally communicates information on the wireless link using the new bandwidth part.

Abstract: The present application relates to acquiring system information. In an example, a network can transmit instances of a same system information on multiple SSB beams. A UE can select a set of the SSB beams for system information acquisition. Soft decoding information, such as LLR, from the decoding of the instances received on the selected SSB beams is combined to decode and acquire the system information.

Abstract: The present application relates to a paging mechanism. In an example, a network can transmit SSBs periodically on multiple SSB beams. A UE can receive, during a DRX cycle, an SSB per detected SSB beam and perform SSB-based measurements. Based on these measurements, the UE can perform PDCCH monitoring and PDSCH decoding on at least two beams. The PDCCH monitoring can indicate a scheduled paging message from the network. The PDSCH decoding can allow the UE to determine the paging message.

Abstract: A wake up signal scheme between a network and a user equipment (UE) operating in a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) state. The UE monitors a wake up signal (WUS) occasion to determine whether a WUS is received during the WUS occasion, when the WUS is received, determines whether the WUS identifies the UE, when the WUS is received and identifies the UE, monitors an OnDuration of a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle corresponding to the WUS and when the WUS is not received or the WUS does not identify the UE, remains in a sleep state during the OnDuration corresponding to the WUS.
