Based on the relay link beam sweep configuration, the first UE may perform a relay link beam sweep procedure with the second UE using a plurality of beams. Based at least in part on the relay link beam sweep procedure, the first UE may select a first beam pair. The first UE may establish a relay link with the second UE using the selected beam pair.

Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters of cells grouped into physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups. The PUCCH groups comprise a secondary PUCCH group. The secondary PUCCH group comprises a PUCCH secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH. A deactivation timer of the PUCCH secondary cell is restarts in response to a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on any secondary cell, other than the PUCCH secondary cell, in the secondary PUCCH group indicating an uplink grant or a downlink assignment. The PUCCH secondary cell is deactivated in response to the deactivation timer expiring.

Abstract: A method is provided for when an allocation area of data indicated by control information overlaps a subsequent control information area occurring after a control information area is pre-configured by a higher layer signal or system information. A terminal may omit or partially perform a blind search for the subsequent control information area overlapping a data area. Additionally, a terminal may receive data based on an assumption that a data area has been mapped to the subsequent control information area, or a terminal may receive data based on an assumption that a data area has not been mapped to the subsequent control information area. Thus, the terminal may adaptively adjust a configuration area for a data area and prevent blind decoding to further reduce power consumption.

Abstract: Various solutions for multiple active bandwidth parts (BWPs) operation with respect to user equipment and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may receive a configuration of a plurality of BWPs. The apparatus may determine whether a restriction is configured. The apparatus may activate the plurality of BWPs on a same carrier according to the restriction. The apparatus may perform a transmission or reception on at least one of a plurality of activated BWPs.

Abstract: Various examples herein may be used to select scrambling sequences that avoid repetitive sequences that cause high PAPR. In one example, a UE or BS may be configured with a first selected scrambling selection value and a second selected scrambling selection value and perform a DPS between the first selected scrambling selection value and the second selected scrambling selection value based on a DCI bit. In another example, a UE or BS may be configured with a third scrambling selection value and perform the DPS for the third selected scrambling selection value based on the first selected scrambling selection value. In still another example, a UE or BS may be configured with a first selected scrambling selection value, a second selected scrambling selection value, and a third selected scrambling selection value that are one of a first value, a second value, or a third value.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for a bandwidth manager for packetized data designed to arbitrate access between multiple, high bandwidth, ingress channels (sources) to one, lower bandwidth, egress channel (sink). The system calculates which source to grant access to the sink on a word-to-word basis and intentionally corrupts/cuts packets if a source ever loses priority while sending. Each source is associated with a ranking that is recalculated every data word. When a source buffer sends enough words to have its absolute rank value increase above that of another source buffer waiting to send, the system “cuts” the current packet by forcing the sending buffer to stop mid-packet and selects a new, lower ranked, source buffer to send. When there are multiple requesting source buffers with the same rank, the system employs a weighted priority randomized scheduler for buffer selection.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein use pairing to associate a wireless sensor with a patient monitoring device such as a bedside patient monitor or a mobile device. A signal emitted by a patient monitoring device can be detected by a wireless sensor. The wireless sensor can be associated with the detected signal and pair the wireless sensor with the patient monitoring device. The wireless sensor can be configured to enter into a patient parameter sensing mode of operation after the association of the wireless sensor with the patient monitoring device.

The UE may transmit an unsolicited CCA status report to the serving base station during the transmission opportunity based at least in part on the CCA procedure.
