Abstract:
A method and apparatus may be used to enable reception of a downlink (DL) shared channel in a cooperative multipoint transmission (CoMP). The method and apparatus may determine whether CoMP is applied to a transmission. The method and apparatus may acquire other CoMP related information. The method and apparatus may apply to non-transparent CoMP scenarios.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices may enable UE power savings in multi-beam connectivity using multi-TRPs or multi-UE panels. Methods, systems, and devices may enable PDCCH skipping in the active duration of the UE by skipping PDCCH monitoring associated with groups of CORESETs.
Abstract:
An electronic device including a transceiver to communicate with a network; and circuitry. The circuitry is configured to perform beam failure detection on a monitored cell; detect a beam failure on the monitored cell; determine at least one new set of candidate beam reference signals (CB-RSs) from at least one set of CB-RS configured for the device; determine if any CB-RS in the at least one new set of CB-RSs meets a criterion, and in a case that any CB-RS in the at least one new set of CB-RSs meets the criterion: select a beam corresponding to a CB-RS in the new set that meets the criterion as the new beam, and indicate the selected new beam to the network; and in a case that no CB-RS in the new set of CB-RS meets a criterion, indicate to the network that no CB-RS in the new set meets the criterion.

Abstract:
An apparatus includes a processor, a memory; and communication circuitry, the apparatus being connected to a communications network via the communication circuitry, the apparatus further including computer-executable instructions stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, causes the apparatus to identify an apparatus capability that is an indication of an ability of the apparatus to perform beam failure detection (BFD) for a plurality of cells, transmit the apparatus capability to another apparatus, receive from the other apparatus at least one message including a change in network configuration; and substitute a second set of cells for the first set of cells on which the apparatus performs BFD based on the change in network configuration so the apparatus capability is not exceeded by the network configuration.
Abstract:
The present application describes a WTRU including a non-transitory memory including instructions stored thereon for re-establishing a remote radio control (RRC) connection with a base station. The apparatus also includes a processor capable of executing instructions of determining, based upon a measurement in an active downlink bandwidth part (DL BWP), to initiate a random access channel (RACH) procedure. The processor also executes instructions of switching to a default uplink bandwidth part (UL BWP). The processor also executes instructions of initiating the RACH procedure. The process further executes instructions of transmitting a RA preamble using one of the RACH resources configured for the default UL BWP. The processor even further executes instructions of receiving a RA response. The processor yet even further executes instructions of switching from the default UL BWP to either an active UL BWP or another active UL BWP after re-establishing the RRC connection.
Abstract:
A wireless device, such as user equipment (UE) or other apparatus, like may use a transparent mode operation in which the device is not aware of the operation mode of abase station, such as a gNB or other transmission and receive point (TRP), via the use of configurations for Frame Based Equipment (FBE) and Load Based Equipment (LBE) operating modes. A base station may initiate a Channel Occupancy Time (COT) that is an FBE COT or an LBE COT, in which the wireless device follows FBE or LBE procedures accordingly. A variety of criteria may be applied in determining whether to use FBE or LBE procedures, and to switch between them. A network may use indicate the intention to switch operation mode and may do so via implicit or explicit indications. Similarly, a wireless device may autonomously switch operation mode, and may indicate the selected mode to the network.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices may support BFD with multi-TRP transmission or support BFR with multi-TRP transmission, among other things. For BFD with multi-TRP transmission, there may be the explicit configuration or implicit configuration. With regard to BFR with multi-TRP transmission there may: BFR using contention-free PRACH, BFR using PUCCH, BFR using contention-free 2-step RACH, or BFR using PUSCH.
Abstract:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a tracking reference signal comprising resources located in one or more slots. The resources may be located in one or more symbols used for receiving a demodulation reference signal. The one or more symbols in which the resources of the tracking reference signal are located may be within a first five symbols in each of the one or more slots. At least one resource of the received tracking reference signal may be frequency multiplexed with the demodulation reference signal.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are described herein for transmission priority, collisions, and sharing in the COT by frame based equipment (FBE). In accordance with one embodiment, a wireless communications device such as an FBE, may conduct two stage channel sensing to avoid collision between other FBEs nodes. The wireless communications device may adjust the energy threshold to reflect a channel access priority. The FBE may conducting continuous and non-continuous second stage channel sensing. The FBE may perform enhanced two stage channel sensing to exploit the remaining portion of the COT. The FBE may store a configuration for the second stage of channel sensing for both the downlink (DL) and uplink (UL).
