  • Publication number: 20230156542
    Abstract: A system for determining and reporting user equipment (UE) time gap requirement information for performing a measurement on a reference signal provided by a target base station. A UE receives a radio resource control (RRC) message from a current base station to modify a current RRC connection. The RRC configuration message may comprise sub carrier spacing (SCS) information of one or more target frequency bands of at least one target base station. The UE may then determine gap information based at least in part on the received SCS information of the one or more target frequency bands. The gap information may indicate whether a gap is needed in performing measurements on a reference signal transmitted at each of the one or more target frequency bands. The UE then transmits the gap information to the current base station.

  • Publication number: 20230144397
    Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capable wireless device configured to perform sidelink cellular communications. The wireless device performs sidelink communications using a two-stage sidelink control information (SCI) protocol including Stage 1 SCI messaging carried on a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), and Stage 2 SCI messaging carried on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH). The SCI messaging may be encoded using polar codes. Channel interleaving is utilized on the SCI to interleave the SCI between two or more layers of a MIMO transmission system. Scrambling for Stage 2 SCI messaging is performed based on the result of a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) performed on Stage 1 SCI messaging. Collisions between sidelink HARQ feedback to be transmitted to a base station and other transmissions are avoided based on a priority analysis of the sidelink HARQ feedback.
