Abstract: The power requirements of user equipments (UEs) are expected to increase as their capabilities increase. Some power saving methods have previously been proposed, but are limited by the radio resource control (RRC) protocol and do not address the power consumption associated with having to transition between different RRC states. In some embodiments described herein, there are not different RRC states, but instead a single RRC state. Within that single RRC state, there are different modes of operation, e.g. a default low power operation mode and an enhanced power operation mode. In some embodiments, the UE switches from the default operation mode to the enhanced operation mode on an on-demand basis (e.g. based on the communication capability required by the UE), and then returns back to the default operation mode.

Abstract: It is desired to try to reduce power consumption in a transmit-and-receive point (TRP) in a wireless network. In some embodiments, to try to reduce overall power consumption, multiple (e.g. two) sets of radio frequency (RF) components are utilized by a TRP, one set having lower power consumption than the other set(s), and switching between the different sets during operation. For example, a TRP may include a first radio frequency unit (RFU) and a second RFU. The second RFU is designed to have higher power consumption than the first RFU. During operation, the TRP uses the second RFU to perform wireless communication in response to a trigger, and otherwise uses the first RFU to perform wireless communication.

Dedicated fields may be used in a 1st stage DCI of the two stage DCI scenario for providing update information for PDSCH HARQ feedback timing when the 2nd stage DCI is retransmitted.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide for use of a linear chirp signal as a basis for a sensing signal. Modification of the linear chirp signal by a signature function can allow a receiver of the sensing signal to determine an identity for a source of the sensing signal. Accordingly, upon processing the received sensing signal to obtain path parameter estimates, the receiver can direct a transmission of an indication of the path parameter estimates to the source of the sensing signal. Aspects of the present application relate to performing multi-node, multi-path channel estimation on the basis of processing the received sensing signal. Conveniently, the processing is performed with low complexity.

Abstract: Physical layer information reporting related to uplink physical layer information that is to be transmitted by a user equipment (UE) to a network device in a wireless communication network may involve communicating signaling between the UE and the network device. The signaling may be communicated by the UE transmitting the signaling to the network device and/or the network device receiving the signaling from the UE. The signaling is indicative of an amount of the uplink physical layer information that is to be transmitted. The physical layer information may include control information, data information, or both control information and data information in the physical layer. The amount may be reported explicitly, in a medium access control (MAC) control element (MAC-CE) with or without an indication of information type for example, or implicitly based on a communication resource mapping for example.

Source data of a source UE that is to be transmitted via uplink cooperative transmission by multiple UEs, is transmitted to at least one cooperative UE over an SL. The source data is associated with an identifier for identifying the UE to the network equipment as a source of the source data. The multiple UEs transmit the source data and the identifier in an uplink direction to the network equipment. The network equipment receives the source data from the multiple UEs in a cooperative transmission such as cooperative MIMO transmission, and obtains the identifier for identifying the source UE as the source of the source data.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a location management function that receives, from a sensor system, a sensing-based profile that includes a sensing-based observation of a UE and receives, from a communication system, a reference-signal-based observation of the UE. The location management function may derive, from the sensing-based observation, a position hypothesis and may determine, from the reference-signal-based observation, UE identity information for the UE. By processing the reference-signal-based observation in conjunction with the sensing-based observation, the location management function may determine an association between the sensing-based observation and the reference-signal-based observation. The location management function may then transmit, to the UE having the UE identity information determined from the reference-signal-based observation, an indication of the position hypothesis derived from the sensing-based observation.
