  • Publication number: 20250071700
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a 5G NR. In particular, a reduced capability (RedCap) user equipment (UE) can be configured to traverse a synchronization raster to locate a cell-defining synchronization signal block (CD-SSB). The CD-SSB can be used to derive, calculate, or otherwise obtain time/frequency information of a non-cell-defining synchronization signal block (NCD-SSB) which may be monitored and/or measured by the RedCap UE in a more power efficient manner.

  • Publication number: 20250056611
    Abstract: Techniques for a wireless device to share a Channel Occupancy Time (COT) in a sidelink (SL) channel are disclosed. The techniques include a method for sharing a Channel Occupancy Time (COT) in a sidelink (SL) channel that includes performing a Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) by a first wireless device to initialize the COT. The first wireless device determines that a portion of the COT may be shared, and transmits to one or more qualifying wireless devices, first Sidelink Control Information (SCI). The first SCI may include a destination identification (ID), an offset, and a SL duration. The destination ID indicates one or more qualifying wireless devices that may share the COT, and the SL duration defines a duration of time available for the one or more qualifying wireless devices to share the COT. The first wireless device may resume transmission in the COT.

  • Publication number: 20250039907
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for providing and managing reception feedback for multicast and broadcast services (MBS). A base station (BS) may select and communicate, to a group of user equipment devices (UEs), configuration parameters for MBS communications, such as an indication of an MBS retransmission procedure for an MBS service. The BS may also transmit, to the group of UEs, an MBS data communication. A first UE may receive the MBS data communication, but may determine that the received MBS data communication is corrupted. The first UE may respond by transmitting, to the BS, a negative-acknowledgement (NACK) message. The BS may retransmit the MBS data communication either as an MBS transmission or as a unicast transmission, based on the configuration parameters. The first UE may monitor the appropriate resources to receive the retransmitted MBS data communication, based on the configuration parameters.
