    Abstract: User equipment performs autonomous time adjustment that includes selecting a Timing Error Limit (i.e. Te_NR) and Maximum Autonomous Time Adjustment Step (i.e. Tq_NR) based on bandwidth (BW) and subcarrier spacing (SCS). In one embodiment, given a certain downlink BW, if the SCS=x(kHz) and the Te_NR of this SCS is N, then the Te_NR of SCS=x/2(kHz) is 2*N. Given a certain downlink BW, if the SCS=x(kHz) and the Te_NR of this SCS is N, then the Te_NR of SCS=2*x(kHz) is N/2. For example, given BW=10 MHz, if the Te_NR of SCS=30k Hz is n*Ts_NR (TS_NR is the basic timing unit for NR system), then the Te_NR of SCS=60 kHz is N/2*Ts_NR, and the Te_NR of SCS=15 kHz is 2*N*Ts_NR.

    Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for beam management is disclosed. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI), wherein the TCI is configured for a control channel and a data channel for all bandwidth parts (BWPs) of the UE or all component carriers (CCs) of the UE. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a synchronization signal block (SSB) or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for beam management with a repetition parameter set to “ON” transmitted in one BWP or one CC in a first set of symbols. The UE can be configured to identify, at the UE, a scheduling restriction for the first set of symbols for the control channel and the data channel, wherein the scheduling restriction indicates that downlink transmission in the first set of symbols is not expected.

    Abstract: Logic may receive an initial communication from a user device, the initial communication comprising capabilities. Logic may determine when the capabilities indicate a requirement for measurement gaps. Logic may determine, when the capabilities for the user device indicate a requirement to implement measurement gaps, a gap pattern to assign to the user device to re-tune one or more radio frequency chains to a wide bandwidth carrier frequency during communications. Logic may transmit information about the gap pattern to the user device. Logic may transmit an initial communication to a base station, the initial communication comprising capabilities. Logic may receive a communication from the base station comprising information about a gap pattern. Logic may receive a synchronization signal to synchronize a wide bandwidth, radio frequency chain. And logic may retune the radio frequency chain during one or more measurement gaps defined by the gap pattern.

    Abstract: A UE may estimate the power headroom value when using shortened Transmission Time Intervals (sTTI). In one implementation, the power headroom value may be calculated based on an estimation of the UE transmission power over two or seven OFDM symbols. Alternatively or additionally, the power headroom value may be calculated based on an estimation of the UE transmission power over the period of an sTTI. Alternatively or additionally, the power headroom value may be calculated based on an average of the UE transmission power over multiple sTTI periods in a subframe. Alternatively or additionally, the power headroom value may be calculated based on a maximum or minimum of the UE transmission power measured over multiple sTTI periods in a subframe. Alternatively or additionally, the power headroom value may be calculated based on UE transmission power measured in the first or the last sTTI period in a subframe.

    Abstract: A new radio (NR) capable user equipment (UE) to determine whether to skip cellular measurements using s-Measure configuration based on measurements of a synchronization signal (SS) block (SSB) and/or Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) using an s-Measure configuration. For example, an s-Measure configuration can include a reference signal received power (RSRP) value and an indicator whether to apply the value to an NR SS block or a CSI-RS. If the value meets or exceeds the measurement for the indicated signal measurement, the s-Measure is satisfied. For example, in an embodiment, the network configures a single s-Measure configuration (e.g., either an NR SS s-Measure configuration or a CSI-RS s-Measure configuration), which when satisfied the UE does not perform further measurements.

    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate measurement gap configuration and/or determination of activation or deactivation delays for NR (New Radio) UEs (User Equipments). A first set of aspects can involve coordination of measurement gap configuration for a UE between a MN (Master Node) and SN (Secondary Node). A second set of aspects can involve estimation of timing for activation and/or deactivation of SCell(s) (Secondary Cell(s)) in DC (Dual Connectivity) scenarios. Various embodiments can employ techniques of the first set of aspects and/or the second set of aspects.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a network to indicate beamforming information to user equipment (UE) for identification and measurement of reference signals. For example, a network may indicate whether all the reference signals are beamformed or not, or which reference signals are using the same transmission beamforming on the time domain, the frequency domain, or both time and frequency domains. In other embodiments, a network may indicate combining or averaging information to a UE.
