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 detects one or more signals transmitted from a base station in a first unit of a set of units contained in a bandwidth part of an unlicensed carrier, the first unit having contiguous frequency resources. The one or more signals indicating that the base station has occupied the first unit for a first time duration and indicating a schedule of a set of slots in the first time duration for communication with the base station. The UE receives, in a first time slot of the set of slots and from the base station, a control channel.

Abstract: Techniques and examples of channel multiplexing within interlace for New Radio (NR) unlicensed spectrum (NR-U) operation are described. An apparatus (e.g., user equipment (UE)) determines which sub-interlace of multiple sub-interlaces in each of a plurality of interlaces is assigned to the apparatus. The apparatus then performs an uplink (UL) transmission to a wireless network in an NR-U using the assigned sub-interlace in each of the plurality of interlaces. Each of the plurality of interlaces may be divided into respective multiple sub-interlaces with channel multiplexing.

Abstract: A method of default uplink beam determination after a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure in a beamforming system is proposed. For uplink (UL) transmission, the BS provides physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource configuration to UE. The configuration includes spatial relation information that indicates the spatial filter to be used by UE for the corresponding PUCCCH transmission. After BFR procedure is completed and before the first spatial relation information indication for a PUCCH resource is received by UE, a default UE TX beam for the PUCCH resource can be determined based on the UE TX beam used during the BFR procedure, e.g., the UE TX beam used to transmit a beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) during the BFR procedure.

Abstract: A method of default uplink beam determination after radio resource control (RRC) connection reestablishment in a beamforming system is proposed. For uplink (UL) transmission, the BS provides dedicated physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource configuration to UE. The configuration includes spatial relation information that indicates the spatial domain transmission filter to be used by UE for the corresponding PUCCH transmission. After RRC connection re-establishment and before a dedicated PUCCH configuration is received, a default UE TX beam can be determined based on the UE TX beam used during the RRC connection re-establishment procedure, e.g., the UE TX beam used to transmit MSG3 in a four-step random-access channel (RACH) procedure triggered by the RRC connection re-establishment procedure.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for reception of simultaneously transmitted downlink channels having different spatial quasi-co-location (sQCL) assumptions. The method can include receiving a configuration specifying a control resource set (CORESET) monitoring occasion of a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) at a user equipment (UE), receiving a second PDCCH scheduling or activating transmission of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) at the UE, determining whether the PDSCH overlaps the first PDCCH in time domain, determining whether a first spatial quasi-co-location (sQCL) assumption for reception of the first PDCCH and a second sQCL assumption for reception of the PDSCH are different, and prioritizing the reception of the first PDCCH when the PDSCH overlaps the first PDCCH in time domain and the first and second sQCL assumptions are different.

Abstract: A method of uplink beam indication for uplink transmission in a beamforming network is proposed. After entering connected mode, both downlink and uplink have a default beam pair link (BPL). Based on uplink beam management, the network establishes mapping between uplink beam indication states and reference signal (RS) resources. The network then signals the uplink beam indication states mapping to UE. UE performs subsequent uplink transmission based on the uplink beam indication, where UE determines its TX beams by mapping from RS resources to corresponding UE TX beams. The uplink beam indication is updated whenever a mapping between a beam indication state to a UE TX beam is changed.

Abstract: A method of antenna capability signaling and group-based reference signal resource configuration is proposed. A User Equipment (UE) provides its antenna capability signaling to BS to facilitate the UL beam training. From UE perspective, different antenna structures can be assumed and different beamforming mechanisms can be achieved based on the antenna structures. When BS determines multiple UL beam pair links (BPLs), BS needs to know the UE antenna capability information. In a preferred embodiment, group-based UL RS resources are configured for UL beam determination based on the UE antenna capability signaling, which helps BS to learn the UE beamforming constraints as well as UL beamformed channels corresponding to the UL BPLs.

Abstract: A method of configuring different uplink beam management (UL BM) procedures is proposed. Different UL BM procedures are defined such that UE knows how to transmit the configured uplink reference signal (UL RS) over UL RS resource groups to BS. A first UL BM procedure enables UE to transmit with sweeping TX beams and enables BS to measure with sweeping RX beams (U-1 procedure). A second UL BM procedure enables UE to transmit UL RS on a number of UL resources with a fixed UE TX beam (U-2 procedure). A third UL BM procedure enables UE to transmit UL RS on a number of UL resources with different UE TX beams (U-3 procedure).
