Abstract: The present technology provides a system and method for implementing targeted collection of in-situ Operation, Administration and Maintenance data from select nodes in a Segment Routing Domain. The selection is programmable and is implemented by setting an iOAM bit in the function arguments field of a Segment Identifier. In this way only the nodes associated with local Segment Identifiers (Function field of a Segment Identifier) with an iOAM argument bit are directed to generate iOAM data. The iOAM data generated by target nodes may be stored in TLV field of the segment routing header. The Segment Routing packet is then decapsulated at a Segment Routing egress node and the Header information with the collected iOAM data is sent to a controller entity for further processing, analysis and/or monitoring.

Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of wireless communication over a sidelink between a transmitting user equipment (UE) and a receiving UE. The receiving UE may receive a configuration of multiple resource pools for sidelink communications. The transmitting UE may transmit at least two repetitions of a sidelink control information (SCI) on at least two of the multiple resource pools. Each repetition of the SCI includes a reservation for a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) on a respective resource pool. The receiving UE may perform soft combining on the at least two repetitions of the SCI to determine resources for the PSSCH. The receiving UE may decoding the PSSCH based on the SCI, for example, by combining multiple repetitions of the PSSCH on the reservations indicated by the SCI.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station, a message comprising a multicast downlink grant for a downlink channel associated with a multicast transmission. The method also includes receiving, from the base station, a reference signal associated with the downlink channel. The method further includes transmitting, to the base station, a unicast message comprising a measurement report indicating a measurement of the reference signal associated with the downlink channel. The reference signal may be measured based on receiving the multicast downlink grant.

Abstract: A fixed wireless access system is implemented using orthogonal time frequency space multiplexing (OTFS). Data transmissions to/from different devices share transmission resources using—delay Doppler multiplexing, time-frequency multiplexing, multiplexing at stream and/or layer level, and angular multiplexing. Time-frequency multiplexing is achieved by dividing the time-frequency plan into subgrids, with the subsampled time frequency grid being used to carry the OTFS data. Antenna implementations include a hemispherical antenna with multiple antenna elements arranged in an array to achieve multiplexing.

Abstract: A service management and orchestration (SMO) entity enabling a functional split between a non-real-time (RT) radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC) and an external artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) server will, during a data collection phase, utilize the SMO entity and the non-RT RIC to collect and process RAN data and non-RAN data and, during a data transfer phase, transfer processed RAN and non-RAN data from the SMO entity to an external AI/ML server via an interface. During a training model input phase, the SMO entity receives a trained AI/ML model, metadata, and training results from the external AI/ML server via an interface and, during a configuration phase, the SMO entity uses the trained AI/ML model within the SMO entity and the non-RT RIC to transfer configuration parameters to a near-RT RIC.

Abstract: A wireless device determines first timings that a first cell and second timings that a second cell is the applicable cell for PUCCH transmission. The wireless device may transmit a first scheduled CSI report in a first report timing via the first cell based on the first report timing being within the first timings. The wireless device may drop a second scheduled CSI report, scheduled for transmission in a second report timing via the first cell, based on the second report timing being within the second timings.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a UE in an uplink split-bearer configuration is configured to transmit PDUs by a first RLC entity via a first uplink transmission path and/or by a second RLC entity via a second uplink transmission path. The UE determines a total amount of data volume from PDCP data volume and RLC data volume pending for initial transmission in the two RLC entities. The UE decides whether submission of PDCP data volume is allowed to either of the two RLC entities or to only the first RLC entity, based on whether the total amount of data volume meets or exceeds a first threshold. The UE also reports the PDCP data volume to both the first and second uplink transmission paths or only the first uplink transmission path, based on whether the total amount of data volume meets or exceeds a first threshold.

Abstract: A wireless device may determine to deprioritize an initial transmission and retransmission(s) of a SR. In response to an overlap between a scheduled initial transmission of a TB and a scheduled retransmission of the SR, the wireless device may determine whether to prioritize the scheduled initial transmission of the TB or the scheduled retransmission of the SR based on a total number of the initial transmission and the retransmission(s) of the SR and may perform an uplink transmission based on the determination.

Abstract: In an example, a User Equipment (UE) operates with shared spectrum channel access on a carrier and/or a cell. The UE receives a configuration for configuring configured grants for uplink transmission in a bandwidth part (BWP). The configured grants include a first configured grant and a second configured grant. The UE configures a first minimum Downlink Feedback Indication (DFI) time delay for the first configured grant according to the configuration. The first minimum DFI time delay is for validation of Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) information in response to one or more first uplink transmissions. The UE configures a second minimum DFI time delay for the second configured grant according to the configuration. The second minimum DFI time delay is for validation of HARQ information in response to one or more second uplink transmissions. The UE does not expect the second minimum DFI time delay to have a different value than the first minimum DFI time delay.
