Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided in which it is determined that a dynamic scheduled channel and a non-dynamic scheduled channel at least partially overlap in a time domain. It is determined whether the dynamic scheduled channel and the non-dynamic scheduled channel are associated with different transmission and reception points (TRPs). Both the dynamic scheduled channel and the non-dynamic scheduled channel are transmitted or received, in case that the dynamic scheduled channel and the non-dynamic scheduled channel are associated with different TRPs.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided in which a first number of repetitions of a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) within a given slot is determined. A second number of slot repetitions within an SPS period is determined based on at least one of an aggregation factor of an information element (IE) or a repetition number of a time domain resource allocation. The SPS PDSCH is received in accordance with the first number of repetitions within the given slot and the second number of slot repetitions within the SPS period.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for using a single DCI to schedule multi-PDSCHs to have multiple PUCCH occasions for sending HARQ feedback for the PDSCHs. A method includes receiving, from a base station, a DCI for multiple PDSCHs, the DCI including an indication of at least one PRI and at least one timing indicator (K1) for providing multiple PUCCHs to carry HARQ feedback for the PDSCHs; receiving the PDSCHs from the base station; determining a PRI value and a K1 value for each of the multiple PUCCHs, based on the indication of the at least one PRI and the at least one K1; and transmitting, to the base station, at least one PUCCH among the multiple PUCCHs including the HARQ feedback for the PDSCHs, based on the determined PRI and K1 values.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for beam pairing. In some embodiments, the method includes: accessing, by a first User Equipment (UE), configuration data indicating a slot structure including a plurality of resources for transmissions in different directions; and based on the configuration data, transmitting, by the first UE, in a single slot, a first transmission portion using a first resource of the plurality of resources with a first beam direction and a second transmission portion using a second resource of the plurality of resources with a second beam direction, different from the first beam direction.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for subband full-duplex. In some embodiments, a method includes: conducting a measurement, by a User Equipment (UE), using a CSI resource, the CSI resource being a Channel State Information reference signal (CSI-RS) or a Channel State Information Interference Measurement (CSI-IM); and performing channel estimation or beam measurement, by the UE, the channel estimation or beam measurement being based on a set of resources of the CSI resource, the resources of the set of resources being non-contiguous in a symbol of the CSI resource.

Abstract: Systems and methods for subband full-duplex. In some embodiments, a method includes: performing a measurement, by a first network node (gNB), of a reference signal transmitted by a second gNB; sending, by the first gNB, a report, to the second gNB, the report being based on the measurement; and mitigating, by the second gNB, based on the report, interference, by the second gNB, with full-duplex operation at the first gNB.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of determining an access link beam by a repeater, including receiving, from a base station, an indication of beam indices including an indicated beam and a corresponding time to apply the indicated beam and transmitting at least one resource set using the indicated beam.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for performing rate matching. A group common-physical downlink shared channel (GC-PDSCH) is received at a user equipment (UE) for communications in a common frequency resource (CFR). An information element that carries configurations for GC-PDSCH transmission in the CFR, is received at the UE. At least one parameter for determining a transport block size (TBS) for the GC-PDSCH transmission in the CFR is determined from at least one field of the information element. The TBS for the GC-PDSCH transmission in the CFR is determined based on the at least one parameter.

Abstract: A system and a method in a wireless communication network are disclosed to reduce a power consumption of a Multicast and Broadcast Services (MBS) device. The device includes an interface to the wireless communication network that receives wireless communications from the wireless communication network, and a controller. The controller controls the interface to receive unicast communications in a bandwidth part (BWP) of the wireless communication network and to receive MBS communications in a common frequency resource (CFR) of the wireless communications. The controller further controls the interface by selectively receiving MBS communications in the CFR to reduce a frequency bandwidth of the interface, or a combination thereof, to reduce a power consumption of the device.
