Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to spatial multiplexing enhancements for single codeword transmission with five or more spatial layers. In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) is configured to determine a spatial multiplexing configuration to use for reception of at least one downlink message. The UE may determine a mapping between a single codeword and five or more spatial layers based at least on the determined spatial multiplexing configuration. The UE may receive the at least one downlink message using the determined mapping between the single codeword and the five or more spatial layers.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to receive, in a time division duplex (TDD) band, a configuration for a serving cell signal that includes a plurality of symbols. The plurality of symbols corresponds to symbols of at least one synchronization signal block (SSB) for SSB-based radio resource management (RRM) measurement for a serving cell or a neighbor cell, and at least one symbol for uplink (UL) transmission. The processor is configured to, in response to determining that the relative position of the at least one symbol for the UL transmission is after a last symbol for the SSB-based RRM measurement in an SSB-based RRM measurement timing configuration (SMTC) window, restrict the UL transmission for a number of symbols that are after the last symbol of the symbols for the SSB-based RRM measurement in the SMTC window.

Abstract: Systems and methods for radio resource management (RRM) measurement periodicity enhancements are disclosed herein. In some cases, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network: a synchronization signal block (SSB)-based measurement timing configuration (SMTC) that indicates an SMTC periodicity for a target serving cell. The UE also receives an SSB periodicity of SSBs on the target serving cell. Then, the UE uses the SMTC periodicity and the SSB periodicity to determine a detection and measurement periodicity for the target serving cell, and proceeds to perform detection of the target serving cell and measurement of the target serving cell according to the detection and measurement periodicity. In some such cases, the UE uses the SSB periodicity value as the detection and measurement periodicity for the target serving cell. Cases where only one (or neither) of the SMTC periodicity and/or the SSB periodicity are provided to the UE are also explained.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes a transceiver and a processor that is configured to receive multiple DCIs for simultaneous multi-panel physical up-link shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions (STxMP). The processor is configured to determine that the UE is scheduled with the STxMP overlapping in a time domain and a frequency domain by multiple physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) having different values of an associated control resource set pool index. Based on the determination, the processor is configured to schedule each PUSCH transmission of the STxMP based on associated downlink modulation reference symbols in accord with a UE capability, multiplex two or more hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgments (HARQ-ACKs) in accord with a total number of HARQ-ACKs described in a total downlink assignment index bit-field of each DCI of the multiple DCIs, and determine transmission of the PUSCHs based on a respective data priority or scheduling of each PUSCH of the STxMP.

Abstract: Systems and methods for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback enablement/disablement are discussed herein. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network, configuration information comprising an indication for the UE to use HARQ enablement information of a downlink control information (DCI), receive the DCI comprising the HARQ enablement information, and use the HARQ enablement information of the DCI to determine one or more HARQ enablement statuses for corresponding one or more HARQ processes for communicating HARQ acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information from the UE to the network or for one or more TBs using such HARQ processes. A network device may send configuration information to the UE comprising an indication for the UE to use HARQ enablement information of a DCI and send the UE the DCI comprising the HARQ enablement information. Applicable contexts for methods disclosed herein may include, for example, Internet of Things (IoT) and/or non-terrestrial network (NTN) contexts.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing measurement delay for group-based beam reporting (GBBR) are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) having first and a second antenna panels receives, from a network, a pair of channel measurement resource (CMR) sets identifying reference signals transmitted across a pair of transmission reception points (TRPs) and that are together transmitted periodically. The UE measures the reference signals using narrow beams within a plurality of broader beams that each correspond to one of the reference signals and that is on one of the antenna panels and selects first and second narrow beams (one on each antenna panel) to use for simultaneous downlink (DL) reception. The UE sends a beam report indicating one reference signal from each CMR set that is associated with one of the two selected narrow beams. Herein, particular methods for efficiently making the measurements across the two antenna panels are disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for uplink control information (UCI) omission. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless network receives signals from a plurality of transmission and reception points (TRPs) and determines, based on the signals, uplink control information (UCI) for multiple TRP (mTRP) coherent joint transmission (CJT) channel state information (CSI) feedback using a codebook W=W1*W2*Wf for a spatial basis selection matrix W1, a combination coefficient matrix W2, and a frequency basis selection matrix Wf. The UE divides linear combination coefficient information into a first group and a second group based on respective priorities associated with linear combination coefficients in the combination coefficient matrix W2. The UE transmits a reduced-size CSI report comprising the linear combination coefficient information in the first group and omitting at least a portion of the linear combination coefficient information in the second group.

The UE may generate an unused transmission occasion uplink control information (UTO-UCI) comprising a bitmap indicating one or more unused transmission occasions for a time period. The bitmap may have a bit size that is based on a duration of the time period and a timing reference or a starting transmission occasion corresponding to a beginning of the time period. The UE may send the UTO-UCI via a CG physical uplink channel (PUSCH) to the network node to indicate to the network node which of the transmission occasions are unused by the UE for the first CG configuration.

Abstract: Systems and methods for regulating uplink (UL) transmission timing differences (TTDs) at a user equipment (UE) are discussed herein. A UE may determine that a first uplink (UL) TTD between a first UL transmission timing for a first timing advance group (TAG) and a second UL transmission timing for a second TAG is above a threshold, may start a first TTD reconfiguration timer at the UE in response, and may send, to a network, a message indicating that the UE has started the first TTD reconfiguration timer. The network may then provide a configuration to the UE that lowers or renders inapplicable the UL TTD that is of concern. If no new network configuration is provided to the UE prior to expiration of the TTD reconfiguration timer, the UE may drop UL transmission use toward one of the TAGs. Considerations for thresholds for triggering such TTD reconfiguration timers are discussed.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing maximum transmit power control when utilizing multiple radio access technologies. For example, a wireless communication device comprising two cellular radios may intend to transmit on the first radio, while concurrently transmitting on the second radio. To ensure compliance with a maximum transmit power limitation, the device may determine an allowed transmit power level of the first radio, representing a difference between the maximum transmit power limitation and the current transmit power level being transmitted by the second radio. The device may also determine a threshold power level for a communication by the first radio. If the allowed transmit power level meets the threshold power level, then the device may transmit the first communication having a power level between the threshold power level and the allowed transmit power level. Otherwise, the device may forego transmission of the first communication.
