Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are disclosed herein. The UE may attempt to decode sidelink synchronization signals (SLSSs) received on component carriers (CCs) of a carrier aggregation. In one configuration, synchronization resources for SLSS transmissions may be aligned across the CCs at subframe boundaries in time, restricted to a portion of the CCs, and restricted to a same sub-frame. The UE may, for multiple CCs, determine a priority level for the CC based on indicators in the SLSSs received on the CC. The UE may select, from the CCs on which one or more SLSSs are decoded, the CC for which the determined priority level is highest. The UE may determine a reference timing for sidelink communication based on the one or more SLSSs received on the selected CC.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5G NR) system may be configured for multi physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduling and may decode a first downlink control information (DCI) and a second DCI received from a gNodeB (gNB). The first DCI may schedule multiple PDSCHs and the second DCI may schedule one or more PDSCHs. The UE may check the timing relations of the scheduled PDSCHs for validity when the first DCI and the second DCI end at a same symbol. When the multiple PDSCHs scheduled by the first DCI and the one or more PDSCHs scheduled by the second DCI are determined to have overlapping time spans, the UE may identify all the PDSCHs scheduled by the first DCI the second DCI as invalid.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to use of a multigene stacking method in synthesis of nervonic acid in Brassica napus. The present disclosure provides a multigene co-expression plant vector, including an initial backbone of pBWA(V)BII and multiple exogenous gene expression cassettes. The present disclosure further provides two plant vectors applicable to genetic transformation, including a three-gene co-expression plant vector and a five-gene co-expression plant vector. In the present disclosure, after the three-gene co-expression plant vector and the five-gene co-expression plant vector are separately transferred into the Brassica napus, the nervonic acid (NA) with a high content is synthesized in the Brassica napus through multigene co-expression. An NA ratio can be significantly increased combined with a higher seed oil content and a greater field seed yield. The plant vector realizes efficient synthesis of NA in oil crops, obtains NA-rich seed oil, and increases an added value of edible oil.

A UE may determine a transmission dropping rule and a transmission power scaling rule for a PUCCH which is dedicatedly configured for secondary BFR transmission, such as a PUCCH-BFR, when it is multiplexed with at least one other signal. The PUCCH-BFR and the at least one other signal may be multiplexed in a CC or in multiple CCs. The UE may determine a transmission dropping rule, e.g., so that UE can transmit an uplink signals with higher priority and drop the other uplink signal with lower priority to avoid beam collisions. The UE may determine a transmission power scaling rule, e.g., so the UE may scale transmission power within a CC and/or across CCs. The UE may multiplex the PUCCH-BFR with the at least one other signal according to the rules.

Abstract: Systems and methods for transmission of PDSCH and HARQ-ACK feedback in 5G networks are described. The TDRA of PDSCH repetitions are indicated in a DCI by a SLIV sequence configuration that contains multiple SLIV sequences. Each SLIV sequence for a slot is associated with an independent repetition factor and may also be associated with a partition factor to indicate a partition within the slot. One or more TRPs may be used to transmit each PDSCH repetition. The TCI states are mapped to the PDSCH repetitions in a round-robin fashion using an offset in terms of number of PDSCH repetitions from where TCI state switching starts and a number of consecutive PDSCH repetitions per TCI state. The HARQ-ACK bits in response to the PDSCH from the TRPs are concatenated in order of increasing control resource set higher layer signaling index.
