  • Publication number: 20230397100
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for remote UE mobility management. Methods are proposed to consider the impact of coverage through PC5 interface when a remote UE is doing the cell (re)selection. A remote UE may select a serving cell considering the impact of coverage through PC5 interface when the remote UE and the Relay UE are in coverage of different cells. The remote UE may detect and reselect a cell via the Uu interface while it has selected a serving cell via a Relay UE. The remote UE may detect and reselect to a cell via a Relay UE while it has selected a serving cell via the Uu interface.

  • Publication number: 20230388866
    Abstract: Wireless User Equipment, UE, and network apparatuses may be adapted to facilitate continuity of Multicast/Broadcast Service, MBS, across cells. A UE in idle/inactive mode, for example, may receive MBS assistance information comprising scheduling information defining MB S reception windows and perform a cell re selection evaluation process accordingly. An UE in connected mode may conduct and report MB S quality measurements and receive an RRC reconfiguration comprising an MB S configuration for a target cell, determine that MBS transmission progress differs between the source cell and the target cell, and recover lost MBS PDUs or delete duplicate MBS PDUs accordingly. A network apparatus, such as a gNB for example, may map a GPRS Tunneling Protocol Sequence Number of an MBS PDU, to a Packet Data Convergence Protocol Sequence Number in a target cell, and determine an MB S configuration for use by a UE requesting a handover accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20230327723
    Abstract: Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) management for new radio may be achieved through indication of a maximum number of beams for beamforming and/or through mechanisms for handling plural candidate SSBs. For example, a User Equipment (UE) may search a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and/or a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) to decode a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) payload comprising and indication of a maximum number of beams (Q) supporting beamforming, e.g., in new radio unlicensed spectrum, and determine, based the indicator, Quasi Co-Located (QCL) Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs). Similarly, a UE may determine, from the PBCH payload, a primary DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) from which the UE may determine selection bits for an SSB. The UE may also determine, based a frequency range in use, to perform a secondary detection and based on the secondary detection, alter selection bits for accessing the SSB index.

  • Publication number: 20230309116
    Abstract: Cross scheduling of a component earner for vehicle sidelink communications may be achieved by explicit configuration, implicit configuration, or a combination thereof. A user equipment, UE, may be configured with a resource pool configuration, for example, pertaining to multiple resource pools, resource group partitions, and/or component carrier groups. The UE may be configured to use fields such as a Carrier Indication Field and/or a Carrier Group Indication Field contained in a Physical Sidelink Control Channel, PSCCH. The UE may use the resource pool configuration in combination with where the UE is able to decode the PSCCH, with or with the CIF and/or CGIF, to determine a scheduled Component Carrier, CC, for sidelink communications.

  • Publication number: 20230171738
    Abstract: The exchange of resource allocation assistance information between a requester User Equipment (UE) and an assistant UE allows the requester to make better resource allocation decisions. The assistance information may include a blacklist, a whitelist, resource allocation information, a candidate resource set, and measurement information, for example. Both UEs may have an assistance configuration to assist in the exchange of resource allocation assistance information, that may be obtained from a third apparatus, such as a base station. The configuration may include information related to when to trigger assistance, identities of UEs, and types of assistance information, for example. The requester may, based on the assistance information received, modify a candidate resource set at a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. The requester may, at the MAC layer, determine a configured sidelink grant for a selected destination using assistance information targeting this destination.

  • Publication number: 20230171795
    Abstract: A wireless User Equipment (UE) may indicate to a base station (gNB) that the UE is capable of simultaneously using sidelink resource allocations Mode 1, with scheduling by the gNB, and sidelink resource allocation Mode 2 with scheduling by the UE, and then receive from the gNB, a Medium Access Control (MAC) entity configuration comprising information for Mode 1 and for Mode 2, and Sidelink Radio Bearer (SERB) configurations which may include the mode (Mode 1 or Mode 2) for the SERB. The UE may determine grants for both modes. In case of a grant collision or overlap, the UE may use logical channel priority to select one grant over the other. The UE may change from one mode to another. The MAC entity may take actions related to feedback, BSR reporting, and SR reporting, to manage the transitions.

  • Publication number: 20230140213
    Abstract: Blind coverage for wireless devices is enhanced varying one or more transmission characteristics of a repeated transmission sent or received by apparatuses, where the repeated transmission includes, for example a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) and/or a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmissions. Varied characteristics may include a start time for each repetition, a duration for each repetition, a start frequency for each repetition, a bandwidth of each repetition, a number of repetitions for each subframe, and/or a number of repetitions for each slot. Repetitions may be within a Bandwidth Part (BWP) or span multiple BWPs. Repetitions may vary from one to another in start time, start frequency, duration, bandwidth, and slot and subframe patterns. Higher level signalling, such as Radio Resource Control (RRC) signalling may be used to control the inclusion or omission of a DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) in repeated transmissions.
