Abstract: Aspects relate to sounding reference signal (SRS) time-domain bundling. Phase continuity may be maintained across SRS transmissions over multiple SRS occasions to enable a receiver to jointly process these SRS transmissions. In some examples, a user equipment may expect to be configured with SRS transmissions over multiple SRS occasions where SRS configurations for different SRS transmissions over different SRS occasions specify the same parameters. For example, a first SRS configuration for a first SRS transmission over a first SRS occasion may specify a first set of spatial relation information. In addition, a second SRS configuration for a second SRS transmission over a second SRS occasion may specify that same first set of spatial relation information. In this way, phase continuity may be maintained between the first SRS transmission over the first SRS occasion and the second SRS transmission over the second SRS occasion.

By utilizing a common next-hop value in the announced BGP information, the devices of the network may load balance communication packets to the destination customer or address among the multiple egress locations from the network, as well as providing fast failover to alternate routes when a failure at the network or customer occurs.

Abstract: Maintaining time alignment with multiple carriers is contemplated. A group of uplink carriers (UL CC sets) that operate with a single Timing Advance (TA) may be determined, and a TA value may be applied to a specific UL CC set. A wireless transmit/receive unit's (WTRU) capability of using multiple TAs may define a group index of a few bits for each UL CC set. A TA Command received in a Random Access Response message may be used to apply the TA value to each UL carrier of the UL CC set. The WTRU may determine which UL CC set the TA value applies to based on which DL carrier the command was transmitted from. The WTRU may determine which UL CC set the TA value applies to based on the Group Index being explicitly provided in the command. The WTRU may release multi-CC configurations upon Time Alignment Timer (TAT) expiry.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques may provide for handling of priority indications in scenarios where simultaneous physical uplink control channel (PUCCH)-physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is supported. For example, wireless communications systems may configure (e.g., via radio resource control (RRC) signaling) simultaneous PUCCH-PUSCH across two or more carriers, where piggybacking of feedback information on uplink shared channel transmission may be disabled. Further, a grant (e.g., downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a PUSCH transmission) may include a priority index field to indicate a priority associated with a transmission or resources scheduled by the grant. The described techniques may provide for efficient handling of priority indications associated with scheduled transmissions that overlap when simultaneous PUCCH-PUSCH is supported (e.g.

Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a first signal including a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) in a cell. The PSS and SSS may use a first numerology. Further, the first numerology may have a first subcarrier spacing, while other resources of the cell at a same time as the PSS or the SSS use a second numerology with a different subcarrier spacing than the first numerology. In addition, the WTRU may synchronize to a timing of the cell based on the PSS and SSS. Also, the WTRU may receive a second signal in the cell, and the second signal may use the second numerology. Moreover, the WTRU may transmit user data. In a further example, the WTRU may search a frequency raster for the PSS and the SSS.
