Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may perform sounding reference signal (SRS) switching by transmitting one or more SRS using a plurality of SRS resources of an SRS resource set configured for SRS switching according to a first combination of downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) antenna ports. For UE power saving, the UE may turn off one or more of the DL and UL antenna ports. The UE may then reconfigure the plurality of SRS resources of the SRS resource set for SRS switching according to a second combination of the DL and UL antenna ports. In response to a power saving message from a UE, a base station may generate SRS configuration information to configure an SRS resource set for SRS antenna switching based on a combination of active DL and UL antenna ports at the UE, and send the SRS configuration information to the UE.

Abstract: Current 5G provisions for wireless communications do not allow for the differentiation of channel access by User Equipments (UEs) with different priorities. Approaches are described by which priority access for UEs in a controlled environment using frame based equipment (FBE), and in particular for different UEs or the same UE that has different configured grants. The approaches are particularly helpful for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) UEs. In one approach, the UE performs a clear channel assessment (CCA) in an idle period before the fixed frame period (FFP), followed by a channel access priority test. In an alternative approach, the UE performs a channel access priority test before the UE performs a clear channel assessment (CCA) in an idle period before the fixed frame period (FFP).

Abstract: Presented are embedded control systems with logic for computation and data sharing, methods for making/using such systems, and vehicles with distributed sensors and embedded processing hardware for provisioning automated driving functionality. A method for operating embedded controllers connected with distributed sensors includes receiving a first data stream from a first sensor via a first embedded controller, and storing the first data stream with a first timestamp and data lifespan via a shared data buffer in a memory device. A second data stream is received from a second sensor via a second embedded controller. A timing impact of the second data stream is calculated based on the corresponding timestamp and data lifespan. Upon determining that the timing impact does not violate a timing constraint, the first data stream is purged from memory and the second data stream is stored with a second timestamp and data lifespan in the memory device.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in multiple component carriers (CC). The UE determines if the UE is operating in carrier aggregation (CA) mode having a first CC in a first frequency band and a second CC in a second frequency band.
