Abstract: Aspects herein relate to wireless devices, circuits, and methods for triggering earlier Channel State Information (CSI) feedback, comprising: transmitting, by a wireless device to a wireless station, an indication to provide earlier CSI feedback (e.g., wherein the indication comprises an indication that the wireless device has a reduced capability to receive messages); receiving from the wireless station, in response to the indication, a modified message (e.g., a Downlink Control Information or modified Medium Access Control Random Access Response), wherein the modified message triggers an earlier CSI feedback from the wireless device; transmitting to the wireless station, in response to receiving the modified message, the earlier CSI feedback using a message related to a RACH procedure (e.g., a Msg3); and completing a connection to the wireless station, e.g., in response to a repeated number of initial access messages broadcast from the wireless station and based on the transmitted CSI feedback.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to AP-SRS triggering offset enhancement for further enhanced MIMO. User equipment (UE), base stations, apparatus, methods, computer-readable memory media, and computer program products are disclosed. The UE may be configured to receive an offset information associated with AP-SRS transmission of the UE; determine a slot offset associated with the AP-SRS transmission, at least based on the offset information; determine a specific slot for the AP-SRS transmission, based on the determined slot offset; and perform the AP-SRS transmission in the determined specific slot.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for facilitating processing times in a 5G wireless communications system. When operating at higher frequency subcarrier spacing (SCS), slot times for receiving and/or transmitting data between user equipment (UE) and a 5G Node B (gNB) become shorter. Because of this, some UE may face difficulty in processing physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and/or physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) data with sufficient speed. To address potential limitations, a flexible minimum processing time may be used to accommodate different UE processing capabilities. The UE may report its processing capabilities to the gNB. The gNB may then schedule communications according to the UE’s processing capabilities. The gNB may consider whether the UE implements a single or multiple processing engines. Further, the gNB may apply single-slot and/or multi-slot scheduling techniques to also prevent timing issues.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for a user equipment (UE) to transmit a configured grant (CG) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) including an uplink control information (UCI) without transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The UE determines, based on a configuration received from the base station, a first set of CG PUSCHs. Each CG PUSCH of the first set of CG PUSCHs overlaps with the PUCCH, and is configured to transmit data from the UE to the base station. The UE further determines a second set of CG PUSCHs by excluding a third set of CG PUSCHs from the first set of CG PUSCHs. and select a CG PUSCH from the second set of CG PUSCHs to carry the UCI contained in the PUCCH. The UE further transmits the selected CG PUSCH including the UCI without transmitting the PUCCH.

The measurement configuration indicates to the UE to perform an omni measurement or a directional measurement by using an antenna element of the UE. The UE can further transmit a report to the base station to indicate the channel occupancy rate.

The UE can generate a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ)-ACK information bit corresponding to the reception. The UE can be configured with an offset value, k, and a length, l, of the HARQ-ACK window associated with an uplink transmission slot n, of a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission, and determine a starting slot of the HARQ-ACK window as n?k. When a corresponding valid uplink transmission slot is not available, the UE can transmit the HARQ-ACK information bit in the uplink transmission slot n of the PUCCH transmission.

Abstract: Interference for reference symbols in URLLC/eMBB multiplexing may be reduced. URLLC and/or eMBB reference signal (RS) interference may be reduced regardless whether the URLLC and eMBB reference signals and data are multiplexed and superimposed using the same numerology or different numerologies and/or regardless whether the URLLC and eMBB reference signals may be aligned or misaligned (e.g., may or may not use a common resource). An URLLC transmission may preempt an eMBB transmission. For the URLLC and eMBB transmissions using a same numerology, a RS reuse indication may be used. The RS reuse indication may indicate whether a RS in the preempted portion of the eMBB transmission may be reused. A channel estimation function set may be estimated, and channel estimation may be performed using the determined channel estimation function set. The eMBB transmission and the URLLC transmission may be decoded based on the performed channel estimation.
