Abstract: The techniques described herein may include solutions for using downlink control information (DCI) to indicate dormancy for secondary cells (SCells).

Repurposed fields may be arranged according to radio resource control (RRC) configuration information, a most significant bit (MSB), a least significant bit (LSB), and/or one or more bits being directed to specific SCell dormancy with one or more other bits being directed to SCell group dormancy, subsets of SCells, and/or a pre-defined rule. These and many other features and examples are described herein.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for a network-controlled repeater (NCR) to share power during the simultaneous transmission of a control link and backhaul link. When the total power for transmitting via the control link and the backhaul link are below a maximum power for transmission, the NCR can use the calculated transmission powers for transmitting each link. Otherwise, the NCR can apply a relative priority to the links, a default priority to each link, a stepwise reduction of power, or a power sharing factor. A power sharing technique can be based on whether there is overlap between the links on the same time symbol, where the same or different beams are used for each link, and/or whether a priority flag for an access link is being used. These and many other features and examples are described.
