  • Publication number: 20260239468
    Abstract: Techniques described provide dependent procedure operation configured for avoiding or mitigating one or more aspect of the impact on the dependent procedure of cancelling an uplink transmission. One or more attributes (e.g., a transmission indication attribute) associated with a cancelled uplink transmission may be designated for dependent procedure operation, such as for indicating whether the cancelled uplink transmission is considered either as having been transmitted or not having been transmitted. The one or more attributes associated with a cancelled uplink transmission designated for dependent procedure operation may be based upon whether the cancelling the first uplink transmission is a fast cancellation or is a slow cancellation. The designation of a transmission indication attribute for dependent procedure operation may correspond to the dependent procedure and/or its operation. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

  • Publication number: 20260239300
    Abstract: Aspects relate to sending a transmission control indicator (TCI) state activation in a multiple transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) transmission system having multiple component carriers. A component carrier (CC) list of component carrier identifiers (IDs) may be configured to either exclude or include a select CC ID prior to sending a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state activation within control signaling to at least one user equipment (UE) in the RAN. Depending on whether the CC ID is excluded or included in the CC list, the receiving UEs in the system may be configured to apply a TCI state activation for the CC ID either included or excluded in the CC list, or not apply any TCI state to any CC ID by ignoring the control signaling.

  • Patent number: 12707503
    Abstract: Aspects relate to random access procedures. Different random access channel (RACH) configurations may be defined for different service groups. For example, one or more service groups (e.g., network slice groups) may be defined where each service group includes one or more services (network slices). One RACH configuration may be defined for one service group, another RACH configuration may be defined for another service group, and so on. Each service group may be configured with a different set of RACH parameters. Within each service group, one or more services may be configured with dedicated (e.g., non-cell-specific) RACH resources, and other services may be configured with cell-specific RACH resources. Each service group may be configured with different RACH resources. Within each service group, one or more services may be configured with a set of dedicated (e.g., non-cell-specific) RACH parameters, and other services may be configured with a set of cell-specific RACH resources.
