Abstract: Systems and methods for sidelink (SL) power control within wireless communication systems are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) selects a parameter set to use to calculate a transmit power of one or more channels to be transmitted according to an SL session with a peer UE from a plurality of parameter sets each configured for use according to a distance between the UE and the peer UE. A UE determines whether an SL pathloss based calculation is to be used to calculate a transmit power of a channel according to an SL session with a peer UE, wherein that calculation is configured to be used depending on a distance between the UE and the peer UE. UE selection of a number of physical SL feedback channel (PSFCH) transmissions to match a UE capability and determinations regarding whether to perform PSFCH reception or PSFCH transmission are also discussed.

Abstract: To extend a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in wireless communications, an extended physical broadcast channel (EPBCH) transmission is generated with one or more legacy PBCH blocks and one or more EPBCH blocks within an extension window. A size of the extension window is determined based at least in part on a PBCH repetition number and a number of the legacy PBCH blocks relative to a number of the EPBCH blocks. The EPBCH transmission is transmitted by a base station (BS) to one or more user equipment (UE).

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for multi-TRP by a UE, including out of order delivery of PDSCH, PUSCH, and/or DL ACK/NACK. The UE may receive, from a base station, a configuration that may include multiple control resource set (CORESET) pools and each CORESET pool may be associated with an index value. The UE may determine that at least two DCIs of the multiple DCIs end at a common symbol and determine, based on one or more predetermined rules, when the UE may be scheduled to receive PDSCHs, transmit PUSCHs, and/or transmit ACK/NACKs from CORESETs associated with the at least two DCIs.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of a wake up procedure for a hibernating cell. The method comprises determining whether configuration information for transmitting a wake up signal is received from a second device, the wake up signal used for waking up the second device in a hibernation mode; in accordance with a determination that the configuration information is missed, obtaining one or more reference parameters associated with the wake up signal; and transmitting the wake up signal to the second device based on the one or more reference parameters. In this way, a hibernating network could be waked up and provide service at any time when the UE requires the network service. The requirement for reducing power consumption of 5G site can be realized and meanwhile the service to be provided to the UE is not downgraded.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for a UE to determine a cell global identity (CGI) of a target cell.

Abstract: Measurement resources are often limited in 5G and 4G-LTE communications. As a result, SMTC and CSI-RS measurement windows will occasionally be assigned to the same resource elements of a signal frame. This results in a collision that must be resolved, since both measurements cannot be performed simultaneously. The collision can be resolved using restriction, where overlapping resource elements are assigned to either the SMTC or the CSI-RS measurements, or can be resolved using measurement sharing, where overlapping resource elements are divided among the two measurements according to a measurement sharing factor. Various factors, including priority or window periodicity may be taken into account by the measurement rules that dictate collision resolution.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices supporting an enhanced paging procedure for random access or small data transmission. An example UE may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the UE to receive a paging message from a network device and transmit a signal to the network device using an UL grant. The paging message may include an identity of the UE (UE ID) and the UL grant. The related methods, apparatuses and computer program products are also disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to positioning target device. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the location of the target device is measured by two anchor devices. The distances between the target device at a location and the anchor devices are measured and the distances between the target device at a further location and the anchor devices are also measured. The location of the target device is estimated based on the distances. In this way, fewer anchor devices are used to perform the positioning.

Abstract: This invention is a deductive lockpicking puzzle, composed of a clamshell style frame holding a central cylinder that is representative in appearance to that of a normal lock, with a single rectangular keyway in the center. The four locking pins in this device each have two opposing magnetic poles, generated by attached permanent magnets, on either end. Each “lockpick” has a unique pattern of four magnets so that when inserted into the keyway, complementary magnetic poles will attract a pin to the lockpick, generating auditory and tactile feedback to the player upon impact. Once the right lockpick is inserted, all four locking pins are magnetically removed from their resting positions, allowing the central cylinder to rotate ninety degrees to a solved configuration.
