  • Publication number: 20260262097
    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) receives a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) order for a random access channel (RACH) preamble transmission to a candidate cell. The PDCCH order includes a retransmission attempt index. The WTRU transmits a physical RACH (PRACH) retransmission using a transmit power that is based on the retransmission attempt index. When the retransmission attempt index indicates that the PRACH retransmission is a next PRACH transmission after a previous PRACH transmission attempt, the transmit power is increased by an offset of the transmit power for the previous PRACH transmission. When the retransmission attempt index indicates that the PRACH retransmission is not a next PRACH transmission after a previous PRACH transmission attempt, the transmit power is increased based on a last successfully received PDCCH order.

  • Publication number: 20260262049
    Abstract: The WTRU may monitor for a downlink transmission in a first monitoring occasion of a first search space. The first monitoring occasion of the first search space may be associated with a first monitoring occasion pattern. The WTRU may monitor for the downlink transmission in a second monitoring occasion of a second search space. The second monitoring occasion of the second search space may be associated with a second monitoring occasion pattern. The first search space and the second search space may belong to a search space subset. The WTRU may receive the downlink transmission in the second monitoring occasion of the second search space. The downlink transmission may include a skipping indication. Based on the WTRU receiving the skipping indication in the downlink transmission in the second monitoring occasion of the second search space, the WTRU may apply skipping to the second search space and the first search space.

  • Publication number: 20260247400
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described for dynamically determining codewords that are enabled for transmitting a transport block. A WTRU receives DCI associated with an UL grant for an UL transmission. The DCI may comprise one or more indicators associated with a first codeword and a second codeword. The one or more indicators may comprise at least one of a TPMI or an antenna-group indicator. The WTRU may determine, if the one or more indicators associated with the first codeword and the second codeword comprises a TPMI associated with the second codeword, that the first codeword is enabled for transmission and the second codeword is disabled for transmission. The WTRU transmits a transport block associated with the enabled one or more of the first codeword and the second codeword. If the first codeword is enabled, the WTRU transmits the transport block associated with the first codeword.

  • Publication number: 20260247231
    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive information indicating a set of L1/L2 mobility (LTM) candidate cells, information indicating a threshold number of cells, information indicating a threshold cell quality value, and information indicating cells served by a same distributed unit (DU) as a current cell. The WTRU may determine that a radio link failure (RLF) or handover failure occurs on the current cell. If a number of LTM candidate cells measured above the threshold cell quality value is above the threshold number of cells and at least one of the LTM candidate cells which is above the threshold cell quality value is served by the same DU as the current cell, the WTRU may select one of the LTM candidate cells above that threshold cell quality value that is served by the same DU. The WTRU may perform LTM recovery to the selected LTM candidate cell.

  • Publication number: 20260230137
    Abstract: A WTRU may be configured to efficiently utilize redundant resources in a first resource set by transmitting, in a second resource set, a larger number of reference symbols. The WTRU also may report CSIs with a lower code-rate. Based on association rules that provide an indication for utilizing redundant resources, the WTRU may efficiently utilize redundant resources by replacing zero padded bits in the first resource set with transmission parameters in the second resource set. Based on the association rules, the WTRU may dynamically determine a DMRS configuration, a code-rate, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), and/or CSI quantization parameters.

  • Publication number: 20260231220
    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to perform early channel state information (CSI) measurement and/or reporting. Early CSI measurement and/or reporting may differ from traditional CSI measurement and/or reporting in that early CSI measurement/reporting may be performed in association with a two or four step random access channel (RACH) procedure. For example, the WTRU may receive a synchronization signal block (SSB). The WTRU may send a first RACH message based on the SSB. The WTRU may receive a random access response (RAR). The RAR may indicate a resource for early CSI measurement. The WTRU may perform measurement of the early CSI resource and send a report. The report may be sent as part of the random access procedure, for example, in a RACH msg3.
