Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose devices, methods and apparatuses for uplink transmission. A terminal device measures at least two reference signals from a network device. Moreover, the terminal device transmits, to the network device, a mode indication of uplink transmission for multiple transmission and reception points (m-TRP) based on the measured at least two reference signals. The mode indication indicates information on a preferred one of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) transmission modes. The FDM transmission modes comprise at least a first FDM transmission mode and a second FDM transmission mode.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for selecting or prioritizing between a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and synchronization signal block (SSB) reception are provided. One method may include, when outside a SMTC window and when PDSCH resource allocation overlaps with an occupied SSB location, selecting between the PDSCH and SSB reception according to defined rules.

Abstract: An apparatus and method facilitating communication using reduced bandwidth NR transmissions, where some part of the bandwidth defined by the CORESET is punctured and not available for the reduced bandwidth NR signals. The user equipment receiving these signals determines that puncturing is applied to some frequency domain resource elements within the bandwidth and identifies at least one valid candidate resource within the bandwidth. The at least one valid candidate resource comprises a candidate resource with less than at least one predetermined threshold amount of punctured resource elements. The user equipment then only monitors a subset of the plurality of candidate resources, the subset consisting of the at least one valid candidate resource and skips monitoring of the candidate resources that it deems to be invalid.

Abstract: In an example, there is provided an apparatus configured to store a bandwidth part arrangement of the bandwidth part (301, 305, 307) into plural physical resource blocks which are grouped into bundles forming a bundle grid (330-370), the bandwidth part (301, 305, 307) comprising at least one guard band (320), determine at least one of the bundles as partially overlapping with the at least one guard band (320), each partially overlapping bundle comprising overlapping and non-overlapping physical resource blocks, and to at least one of: 1) re-assign at least one of the non-overlapping physical resource blocks to a non-overlapping bundle immediately preceding or immediately following, in the bundle grid (330-370), the partially overlapping bundle, 2) re-align a first physical resource block of the non-overlapping bundle immediately following the partially overlapped bundle to coincide with a guard band end, and 3) re-align a last physical resource block of the non-overlapping bundle immediately preceding the partially overlapped bundle to coincide with a guard band (320) start.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products where a user equipment in a wireless communications network determines a measure of signal quality for a restricted set of beam recovery candidates, compares the measure of signal quality of contention free random access candidates reference signal in the restricted set or a subset of contention free random access candidates to a signal quality based recovery threshold, and selects the at least one candidate signal with signal quality above that threshold from a candidate beam reference signal list; where the user equipment measures a reference signal received power for contention free random access candidate beam, selects candidates above a reference signal received power threshold, determines signal quality for the selected contention free random access candidates above that threshold, and selects one candidate in response to multiple contention free random access candidates being above that threshold or the one with highest measure of signal quality.
