Abstract: A base station of a network is configured to transmit a first indication to a user equipment (UE) of a mapping of code points, wherein each code point maps to one or more corresponding aperiodic or semi-persistent positioning reference signals (PRS) to be transmitted from one or more transmission and reception points (TRP), transmit a second indication to the UE of a first one of the mapped code points to activate the one or more corresponding PRSs for reception at the UE and transmit the one or more activated PRSs to the UE.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques that may be utilized by a UE for performing neighbor cell measurement and reselection in narrowband deployment scenarios, such as NB-IoT deployment scenarios. For example, a method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), can include determining, while communicating in a serving cell, information regarding one or more transmission deployment mode parameters of at least one neighbor cell, and performing a neighbor cell search with measurement of narrowband reference signals (NRS) based on the one or more transmission deployment mode parameters.

Abstract: Various embodiments include multi-subscription multi-standby communication devices and methods for managing communication activity. A device processor of the multi-subscription multi-standby communication device may determine a timing of an upcoming tune-away from a first subscription to a second subscription, and may determine whether an upcoming communication activity on the first subscription is a critical communication activity. The device processor may determine whether the upcoming tune-away and the upcoming communication activity will collide in response to determining that the upcoming communication activity is a critical communication activity, and may schedule one or both of the upcoming critical communication activity and the tune-away to prevent the collision in response to determining that the upcoming tune-away and the upcoming communication activity will collide.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for compensating for phase noise of symbols spread with a long spreading code are disclosed. To compensate for the phase noise, a phase error estimate is generated from despread symbols with a short spreading code. A phase correcting phasor is applied to chip rate data before despreading the data with a long spreading code. A signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) on a common pilot channel (CPICH) may be calculated by spreading the data with a parent spreading code in an orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) code tree and by combining symbols. Alternatively, a magnitude of the symbols may be used in estimating the SIR. The SIR of a channel using a short spreading code and an SIR of a channel using a long spreading code are measured. The SIR of the channel with the long spreading code may be compensated in accordance with a difference between degradation of the SIRs.
