    Abstract: An apparatus and system of establishing a Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state switch delay are described. The TCI state switch delay for a reference signal (RS) on a component carrier (CC) in intra-band carrier aggregation (CA) is dependent on whether a TCI state indicated in the DCI is known based on a type of Quasi Co-Location (QCL) and whether a common TCI state ID is known on the CC. The delay is known for a delay of QCL-typeD RS on the CC or any other QCL-typeD RS in the CC set that contains the CC. The delay may be based on that of a single CC delay, with the slot where the new TCI state applies determined based on a carrier with a smallest subcarrier spacing (SCS) in the CC or the CC set.

    Abstract: An apparatus and system for a unified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state switch requirement are described. Both radio resource management and TCI state switch delay requirements are described. The UL TCI state switch delay requirement may depend on whether a downlink (DL) reference signal (RS) associated with the UL TCI state satisfies known conditions, as well as whether a joint or separate TCI mode is being used. In the separate TCI mode. the delay requirement may include timing between a DL data transmission and acknowledgement, and also include a time for receive beam refinement in frequency range2. In the joint TCI mode. the UL and DL TCI state switch delay requirement—due may be the same or may be the same as the separate TCI mode.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5GNR) network performs Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) based Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements with or without measurement gaps. The UE may decode network signalling or that triggers a status change of a pre-configured measurement gap. The UE may perform the SSB based RRM measurements with measurement gaps when the network signalling that triggered a pre-configured measurement gap status change activated the pre-configured measurement gap. The UE may deactivate the pre-configured measurement gap and perform the SSB based RRM measurements without measurement gaps when the network signalling that triggered a pre-configured measurement gap status change deactivated the pre-configured measurement gap. The UE may also encode a measurement report for transmission to the network which may include measurements results from the SSB based RRM measurements performed during a measurement reporting delay period. The number of samples of the SSB based RRM measurements that are included in the measurement report may be based at least in part on measurement gap status changes triggered during the measurement reporting delay period.

    Abstract: An apparatus and system for a receive (RX) beam assumption, and inter-cell radio beam measurements and resource management (RRM) requirements are described. In response to a determination whether or not a frequency range2 (FR2) signal from a neighbor cell is to be measured inside a Synchronization System (SS) ZPhysical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC) window, a first RX beam from the neighbor cell for a Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP) measurement of the FR2 signal and a second RX beam for a Layer 3 RSRP (L3-RSRP) measurement of the FR2 signal are selected. A L1-RSRP of the FR2 signal for the first RX beam and L3-RSRP of the FR2 signal for the second RX beam are measured and feedback provided to a serving cell.

    Abstract: A computer-readable storage medium stores instructions to configure a UE for Scell activation in a 5G NR network, and to cause the UE to perform operations including decoding a first MAC CE received from a base station on a PDSCH. The first MAC CE includes a PUCCH SCell activation command. A second MAC CE is decoded, which includes PL-RS configuration information. DL activation process is performed within a pre-configured activation time starting at a first slot of the first MAC CE reception. The availability of a PL-RS is determined based on the PL-RS configuration information. CSLRS measurements are performed in response to the PUCCH SCell activation command. The CSLRS measurements include a path loss calculation performed within an extended time period starting after the DL activation process and having a duration based on the availability of the PL-RS.

    Abstract: A computer-readable storage medium stores instructions to configure a UE for radio resource management (RRM) measurements in a 5G NR. network, and to cause the UE to perform operations. The operations include decoding RRC signaling. The RRC signaling includes system information associated with an inter-RAT cell of a. target base station. The system information includes an indicator for support of enhanced RRM measurements by the inter-RAT cell. Configuration information from a. source base station is decoded. The configuration information includes a handover instruction for performing a handover from the source base station to the target base station. A determination is made whether to perform the enhanced RRM measurements and the handover based on the indicator.

    Abstract: Various embodiments herein provide techniques related to measurements in a testing scenario by a user equipment (UE) that is configured to use a pre-configured measurement gap (pre-MG). In embodiments, the UE may be configured to perform one or more measurements with the pre-MG disabled. The pre-MG may then be enabled and the UE may perform additional measurements. In this way, a plurality of parameters related to the UE and/or the pre-MG may be identified based on the testing scenario. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: An apparatus and system for power saving in a user equipment (UE) are described. The UE uses signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) of radio link monitoring (REM) signals to determine whether to enter or exit a relaxation state in which the frequency of measurement of the REM signals is reduced, as is feedback to the base station. The REM relaxation state is dependent on the average SINR of the REM signals over a predetermined time window. Alternatively, the REM relaxation state is dependent on SINR thresholds that include an SINR fluctuation range using a SINR threshold for REM in-sync or derived from a Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) curve of SINR using a predetermined maximum SINR fluctuation.

    Abstract: A computer-readable storage medium stores instructions to configure a UE for NR positioning in a 5G NR network, and to cause the UE to perform operations including decoding configuration signaling received from a location and management function (LMF) node of the 5GNR network. The configuration signaling includes a positioning reference signal (PRS) measurement configuration. A number of measurement samples per a successful measurement reporting can be indicated by the PRS measurement configuration which depends on a specific conditions (e.g., PRS bandwidth, propagation channel, and SINR). A PRS received from a base station is decoded. Downlink PRS (DL-PRS) positioning measurements is performed based on the PRS. The DL-PRS positioning measurements are encoded for transmission to the LMF node using the number of measurement samples.

    Abstract: An apparatus and system for use of a pre-configured gap are described. The network signals a preconfigured gap via radio resource control (RRC) signaling and follows a bandwidth part (BWP) to activate/deactivate the gap upon BWP switching. The RRC signaling indicates whether a measurement gap is a pre-configured gap. Pre-configured frequency range 1 (FR1) and FR2 gaps are able to be configured simultaneously using RRC signaling. Similarly, legacy gaps and pre-configured gaps are able to be configured simultaneously using RRC signaling. The pre-configured gap may be autonomously or implicitly activated triggered by downlink control information (DCI) or timer-based BWP switching—in some cases under predetermined network conditions.
