Abstract: A method for maintaining finer synchronicity requirement (e.g. less than 1 ?s synchronicity) between sync master clock and UE clock in NR IIOT is disclosed. The present disclosure introduces a method to apply the UE clock update depending on the UL timing advance reception time. The present disclosure also introduces a new signaling to indicate scheduling request ID for propagation delay change and based on which triggering timing advance to maintain the finer synchronicity requirement between sync master and UE clock. This disclosure also introduces a new method to compute the propagation delay change at UE, and thereby performing propagation delay compensation to maintain finer synchronicity requirement between sync master and UE clock.

Abstract: This present disclosure provides a mechanism to classify CSI report(s) into valid/partially valid/invalid CSI report(s) by defining a new CSI evaluation methodology. The present disclosure also introduces a new UE behaviour of sending different (valid/partially valid/invalid) type of CSI report to inform the gNB about the TCI state known status at the UE. The present disclosure also introduces an implicit or explicit signalling method to inform the type of CSI report to the gNB. The present disclosure also discloses new UE behaviour of skipping CSI reports between partially valid/invalid CSI report and valid CSI report during TCI state switching/SCell activation.
