Abstract: The invention provides a method for antenna selectin of a user equipment (UE). The UE may comprise a plurality of antennas. The method may comprise calculating one or more quality evaluations respectively associated with one or more first antenna subsets, and selecting one of the one or more first antenna subsets according to the one or more quality evaluations. Each antenna subset may include one or more of the plurality of antennas. Each quality evaluation may be calculated under a condition that the antenna(s) included in the associated antenna subset is (are) used to communicate.

Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receives, from a base station, a configuration specifying an initial aggregated bandwidth W0 carried on C0 component carriers on which a reception unit (RXU) of the UE is to receive signals. The UE determines a total bandwidth WTOT on which the UE is capable of receiving signals. The UE determines, based on WTOT and W0, an initial hardware limit of Q0? RXUs that the UE is allowed to activate concurrently. The UE determines an adjusted aggregated bandwidth W1 carried on C1 component carriers on which an RXU of the UE is to receive signals based on a channel condition between the UE and the base station.

Abstract: A method of cross component carrier (Cross-CC) beam management is proposed. A transceiver uses multiple CCs' channel measurements to obtain a beam vector such that better performance can be achieved by utilizing wideband channel. The transceiver derives the beam vector by using the channel measurements of a set of selected CCs applied with a carrier weight factor. The transceiver utilizes beam management reference signal (BM-RS) of the set of selected CCs to derive the beam vector, e.g., an optimal beam. In one embodiment, the carrier weight factor can be the number of BM-RS REs of each CC. In another embodiment, the channel measurements can be SNR/RSRP, and the carrier weight factor can be the SNR/RSRP of each CC.

Abstract: A method for handling a measurement configuration including: determining a measurement configuration, wherein the measurement configuration includes a measurement object and a plurality of reporting configurations; performing at least one first measurement for the measurement object, to generate at least one first measurement result; and transmitting the at least one first measurement result to a network device according to a reporting configuration of the plurality of reporting configurations in response to the reporting configuration being satisfied; wherein the plurality of reporting configurations correspond to the measurement object.

Abstract: Concepts and examples pertaining to short physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in New Radio (NR) networks are described. A processor of a user equipment (UE) configures a short PUCCH comprising one or two orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. In configuring the short PUCCH, the processor selects a sequence from a plurality of different sequences each of which representative of a respective uplink control information (UCI). The selected sequence is transmitted by the processor in the short PUCCH to a node of a wireless communication network.
