Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5G NR) network may decode resource configuration information received from a generation Node B (gNB) for Non-Overlapping Sub-Band Full Duplex (NOSB-FD) communication. The resource configuration information may indicate downlink symbols within a carrier bandwidth for downlink communication, uplink symbols within the carrier bandwidth for uplink communication, and NOSB-FD symbols within the carrier bandwidth. Each NOSB-FD symbol may be configurable for both uplink and downlink communication. For any one of the NOSB-FD symbols, one or more uplink subbands within the carrier bandwidth may be configurable to be allocated for uplink communication and one or more downlink subbands of the carrier bandwidth may be configurable to be allocated for downlink communication. The resource configuration information may be determined from a mapping of physical resource blocks (PRBs) to a common resource block (CRB) grid.

Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) configured for non-overlapping Sub-Band Full Duplex (SBFD) operation communicates during SBFD symbols that are non-overlapping in time. Each of the SBFD symbols comprise at least a DL subband and an UL subband within a TDD carrier within a BWP. To communicate during the SBFD symbols, the UE transmits uplink transmissions only within resource blocks (RBs) that are both in an active UL BWP configured to the UE and the UL subband of one of the SBFD symbols and receives downlink transmissions only within RBs that are both in an active DL BWP configured to the UE and in the DL subband of one of the SBFD symbols. The uplink transmissions during the SBFD symbols are transmitted with a timing-advance offset to adjust advancement in initiation of the uplink transmission relative to DL symbol timing at the UE within an SBFD symbol.

Abstract: An apparatus for a user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a New Radio (NR) network includes processing circuitry and memory. The processing circuitry decodes configuration information for one or more channel state information (CSI) reports received from a base station. The processing circuitry maintains a state of one or more CSI processors of the UE, each CSI processor associated with a plurality of CSI compute resources, the state indicating occupancy of the CSI compute resources at a time instance. For a CSI report, one or more CSI compute resources of at least one CSI processor are allocated based on the state. A CSI processing event is determined for the CSI report based on the state of the one or more CSI processors, and content of the CSI report is encoded for transmission to the base station based on the CSI processing event.

Abstract: A computer-readable storage medium stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of a RedCap UE. The instructions configure the RedCap UE for positioning measurements in a 5G NR and beyond network, and cause the RedCap UE to perform operations including decoding a first configuration message to configure the RedCap UE for receiver frequency hopping for a DL PRS resource. At least one positioning measurement is performed using a DL PRS received during the DL PRS resource based on the receiver frequency hopping. A measurement report is encoded with the at least one positioning measurement. The measurement report includes an indication of whether the at least one positioning measurement is associated with one frequency hop or multiple frequency hops of the DL PRS.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook determination in a fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) network may decode a downlink control information (DCI) format received from a generation Node B (gNB). When the DCI format triggers HARQ-ACK codebook retransmission, the UE may determine a HARQ-ACK codebook to be retransmitted based on a time-offset indicated in the DCI format. To determine the HARQ-ACK codebook to be retransmitted, the UE may determine an uplink (UL) slot that included an initial transmission of the HARQ-ACK codebook based on subtracting the time-offset from the DL slot that included the DCI. The UE may also encode a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to include the HARQ-ACK codebook determined to be retransmitted in a UL slot based on a slot offset.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein provide techniques for frequency hopping for uplink transmission in advanced duplex systems, e.g., using non-overlapping sub-band full duplex (NOSB-FD) symbols. The frequency hopping may include switching between an NOSB-FD symbol and a non-NOSB-FD symbol. Embodiments further provide techniques for handling collision between uplink transmission and a downlink resource in the NOSB-FD symbol and/or non-NOSB-FD symbol. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a 5th generation (5G) new radio (NR) system (5GS) (5G NR) in which a multi-transmission time interval (TTI) DCI schedules multiple physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs), generates a Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook for candidate PDSCH reception occasions corresponding to an uplink slot.

In embodiments, a user equipment (UE) transmit a wideband channel quality index (CQI) report related to the channel state information (CSI) of the wideband. The UE may further identify, from the set of 2, 3, 4, and 5, a number of bits to use for a sub-band CQI report related to a sub-band of the one or more sub-bands, and transmit a sub-band CQI report based on the identified number of bits. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for deferring hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions in a time-domain duplexing (TDD) system are described. After an SPS PDSCH configuration indicating that deferral of the SPS HARQ feedback is enabled is received, a user equipment (UE) determines whether a PUCCH associated with a particular SPS PDSCH transmission is able to be transmitted on valid uplink (UL) symbols. The PUCCH carries a SPS HARQ-ACK bits to acknowledge the particular SPS PDSCH transmission. If the PUCCH is unable to be transmitted using the timing of the SPS PDSCH configuration, the transmission is deferred until the next valid occasion on which the PUCCH is able to be transmitted.
