Abstract: Techniques, described herein, include solutions for managing uplink control information (UCI) transmission for a channel state information (CSI) report resulting from measurements of CSI measurement resources. In response to the CSI report exceeding allocated uplink resources of a UCI transmission, a compressed CSI report can be generated by performing an uplink control information (UCI) omission to omit parameters of the CSI report based on components comprising frequency domain (FD) components and time domain (TD) components of the MIMO codebook configuration. The UCI transmission can be generated with the compressed CSI report.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to provide a power headroom report (PHR) to a network. The UE receives a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) configuration from a base station of the wireless network, wherein the PUSCH configuration includes a plurality of beams over which PUSCH repetitions should be transmitted, determines at least one power headroom report (PHR) based on a power control parameter set corresponding to at least one of the plurality of beams or PUSCH repetitions and transmits the at least one PHR to the base station.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for differentiating between licensed and unlicensed bands in a common portion of frequency spectrum to facilitate initial access in a fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) wireless communication system having an NR node. The techniques include an NR generating and UE processing frequency configuration information indicating whether the common portion of frequency spectrum is allocated as a licensed band or an unlicensed band to enable a determination that the frequency spectrum is configured as the licensed band or unlicensed band and thereby facilitate initial access.

Abstract: Techniques described herein may enable base stations and user equipment (UEs) to implement initial access related signaling that may vary the number of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) transmitted by a base station to better ensure that control frame transmissions (e.g., 120 kilohertz (kHz) subcarrier spacing (SCS) transmissions) are not overly encumbered by SSBs. A base station may indicate whether a discovery burst transmission window (DBTW) is enabled or disabled, whether listen-before-talk (LBT) is enabled or disabled, and whether transmissions correspond to a licensed band, unlicensed band, or combination thereof. The base station may also indicate a number of candidate SSBs per DBTW and/or which SSBs/SSB groups are active (e.g., actually transmitted) per discovery burst (DB).

Abstract: A base station and user equipment (UE) may determine, based on a synchronization signal block (SSB) burst and an offset, an index slot, of a system frame number (SFN), corresponding to a Type0-PDCCH common search space (CSS). The base station may transmit, and the UE may receive, a PDCCH signal that includes the Type0-PDCCH CSS, such that the UE may monitor the Type0-PDCCH CSS from the base station. The offset (Ou) may be hardcoded as one of values 0, 2.5, 5, or 7.5, and one offset value may be used for one, more than one, or all SCS numerologies. The offset may be modified by a delta (?) value, a scaling factor, and/or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE), baseband processor or other network device (e.g., base station, next generation NodeB, etc.) can operate to process or generate an acknowledgement (ACK) or a non-acknowledgement (NACK) of a beam report to indicate an autonomous transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state update, which can be a TCI update without a corresponding TCI indication/trigger. The UE can determine the ACK/NACK in response to providing the beam report in the autonomous TCI state update. The UE can then activate a TCI state of the autonomous TCI state update in response to identifying the ACK or re-transmit the beam report for autonomous TCI state update when a NACK is recognized.

Abstract: A method is to provide traffic related information in lower layers for an XR system and associated apparatuses. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) is configured to receive traffic related information from a peer UE or an application server. The UE then transmits the traffic related information to a base station (BS) using a radio resource control (RRC) message such as UEAssistanceInformation as provided by 3GPP technical specifications, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The transmission of the traffic related information from the UE enhances the wireless communication service for the XR system.

The resources may be configured for a first user equipment (UE) of a plurality of coordinated UEs. The determined resources may be transmitted to the first UE via radio resource control (RRC) or medium access control-control element (MAC CE). Measured beam information received from the first UE for configuring beam sharing between multiple UEs of the plurality of coordinated UEs may be decoded.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE), baseband processor or other network device (e.g., base station, next generation NodeB, etc.) can operate to process or generate CSI reports based on a CSI report configuration for a single transmission and reception point (sTRP) operation and a multiple TRP (mTRP) operation. The CSI report can be configured based on a plurality of weighted CSI report priority variables, wherein the plurality of weighted CSI report priority variables comprises measurements associated the sTRP operation and measurements associated with the mTRP operation, and the measurements associated with the sTRP operation are configured with a different priority than the measurements associated with the mTRP operation.

Abstract: Some aspects include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for radio resource management measurement prioritization for reduced capacity (RedCap) user equipment (UE). A RedCap UE may be use Half-Duplex Frequency Division Duplex (HD-FDD) for wireless communications. When performing communications with a network, the RedCap UE may make several measurements, including Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR), and Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) measurements. To obtain these measurements, the RedCap UE may measure Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), and/or Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) symbols. Difficulties may arise when a RedCap UE's serving cell signal timing is not synchronized with a neighboring cell. The RedCap UE may be configured to prioritize measurements over uplink transmissions.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for port selection codebook configuration. A user equipment (UE) may decode a channel state information (CSI) report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) from a base station. The CSI-ReportConfig indicates up to L CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) ports for selection by the UE out of P CSI-RS ports configured for measuring and reporting CSI. The UE determines selected CSI-RS ports out of the P CSI-RS ports. The selected CSI-RS ports include the L CSI-RS ports or less. The UE generates a port selection matrix W1 corresponding to the selected CSI-RS ports. The UE also generates an indication of the port selection matrix W1 to the base station. The CSI-ReportConfig may further configure the UE to select a subset of frequency basis. The UE determines a selected subset of frequency basis and generates a frequency basis selection matrix Wf corresponding to the selected subset of frequency basis.

A beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) can be processed or transmitted in response to a detection of a beam failure. A beam failure recovery response (BFRR) can be generated via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on at least four slots after the BFRQ and a time offset for a non-terrestrial network (NTN).
