Abstract: An example method for wireless communication includes: transmitting to a base station, via a user device: (1) a capability report for each of a plurality of antenna panels; and (2) an initial antenna panel index; receiving, from the base station, configuration information corresponding to each antenna panel of the plurality of antenna panels; selecting a first antenna panel for a first uplink (UL) transmission to the base station, wherein the first antenna panel corresponds to the antenna panel with the initial antenna panel index; selecting first configuration information corresponding to the selected first antenna panel; and transmitting the first UL transmission to the base station, using the selected first antenna panel and the selected first configuration information. In other aspects, rather than initially receiving configuration information corresponding to each antenna panel, the user device may receive the configuration information for each panel as it is selected for an UL transmission.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing transmission of nominal repetitions of data over an unlicensed spectrum. One or more nominal repetitions of data are to be transmitted by a user equipment (UE) over an unlicensed spectrum used for both uplink and downlink transmissions. The one or more nominal repetitions of the data are segmented into multiple actual repetitions of portions of the data. The UE identifies an orphan symbol in an actual repetition of the multiple actual repetitions of portions of the data, and determines a filler symbol to replace the orphan symbol in the actual repetition. In addition, the UE transmits the multiple actual repetitions including the filler symbol in replacement of the orphan symbol to a base station over the unlicensed spectrum.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for determining a quasi-co-located assumption for aperiodic channel state information reference signals for multi-transmission-reception-point operation in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may establish wireless links with multiple transmission-reception-points of a cellular network. The wireless device may receive downlink control information. The wireless device may determine a quasi-co-located assumption for aperiodic channel state information reference signals for the downlink control information. Signals received according to the quasi-co-located assumption for aperiodic channel state information reference signals may be buffered by the wireless device if a scheduling offset for the downlink control information is below a scheduling offset threshold.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for overhead reduction for multi-carrier beam selection and power control. A user equipment device (UE) may receive an uplink beam configuration for a group of component carriers and may communicate using the uplink beam configuration for the group of component carriers. The UE may receive an updated uplink beam configuration for the group of component carriers. The update uplink beam configuration may include a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) that may update a pathloss reference signal for the group of component carriers. The MAC CE may include an indication of a spatial relation for aperiodic or semi-persistent sounding reference signals for the group of component carriers, an indication of a transmission control indicator for a physical downlink control channel, an indication of an update for a physical uplink shared channel, and/or an indication of an update for a sounding reference signal.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for calculating and compensating for Doppler shift in a high-speed environment. When in a high-speed environment, Doppler shifts on a transmitted radio frequency signal can become extremely large, which may make it difficult or even impossible for a receiving device to accurately decipher the signal. Therefore, embodiments of the present disclosure describe how tracking reference signals can be transmitted from multiple transmission/reception points, and processed by the UE. For example, the TRS transmitted from the TRP can be enhanced to allow for TRS information from two different TRPs. Additionally, or alternatively, a flag can be set within TRS information that identifies it as having originated from either a first TRP or a second TRP. Additionally, the UE can calculate Doppler shift information and report that information back to the base station in a report message, such as an SRS message. In this manner, the base station can precompensate for the Doppler shift.

A base station can poll user equipment (UE) by transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) or other downlink communication that indicates resources that a UE can use to send a scheduling request. The resources are dynamic, e.g., they can be updated and allocated to UEs based on network conditions. Other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods and systems to enhance NR RACH procedure to accommodate non-terrestrial networks (NTN) are disclosed. The length of the RAR window may be extended. A NTN-RNTI associated with the time-frequency resources used for the PRACH preamble may be used to scramble the CRC of DCI used for downlink assignment in the RAR. The DCI content may include information on the associated PRACH preamble to assist the UE in distinguishing between RARs generated as a response to PRACH preambles transmitted by different UEs from different system frames. The NTN-RNTI may contain information on the system frames when the UE sends the PRACH preamble. The RA-RNTI associated with the time-frequency resources used for the PRACH preambles transmitted from different frames may be used to scramble different subsets of the CRC of the DCI format 1_0 to assist the UE in distinguishing between RARs generated in response to the different PRACH preambles.

Abstract: Embodiments include a user equipment (UE) and methods performed by the UE. The methods include receiving a measurement configuration request from a network, in response to the measurement configuration request, measuring a quality of one or more uplink (UL) carrier aggregation (CA) combinations, wherein each UL CA combination comprises a plurality of component carriers, generating a message that includes the quality of the one or more UL CA combinations and transmitting the message to the network. Further embodiments include the above operations being performed as a set of instructions executed by a processor or an integrated circuit that includes circuitry to perform the operations.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) transmits concurrent channel state information (CSI) processing capability information to a base station. The capability information can take various forms, and is intended to constrain the base station in the types of CSI requests that can be made to the UE. For example, the UE may indicate different CSI processing capabilities for intra-CC and inter-CC cases and/or for different codebook types. The UE may also specify supported combinations of codebook types for concurrent CSI reporting. The UE may also specify maximum resources or weighting factors for different codebook types. The UE may further restrict the rank information it provides and use a priority rule for “dropping” CSI report data due to payload size restrictions. The base station may direct, or the UE may implement, improved utilization of CSI resources that are shared for multiple concurrent CSI reports. Minimum time requirements for CSI reporting may also be relaxed.

Abstract: Features for increasing sounding reference signal (SRS) resource capacity for wireless communications may include introducing a larger comb size with comb hopping, providing support to determine the slot offset and/or comb offset for aperiodic SRS based on downlink control information (DCI) alone or based on both DCI and radio resource control (RRC), applying RB level frequency hopping within an SRS resource across different symbols, and/or applying time domain orthogonal cover code (TD-OCC) to symbols within an SRS resource. The TD-OCC may be applied to SRS for codebook, non-codebook and antenna switching, and may also be applied simultaneously with comb hopping and/or RB level hopping in certain scenarios.
