Abstract: Performing a UE-triggered lower layer-based handover may include, based on measurements associated with both a source gNB and a target gNB, determining that a UE-triggered handover utilizing layer 1 or layer 2 is to be performed. First uplink resources configured by the source gNB for a dedicated scheduling request may be determined. The dedicated scheduling request may be generated at the UE to request second uplink resources from the gNB for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) a handover request in a media access control (MAC) control element (CE). The handover request carried by the MAC CE for the source gNB may be generated. In response to the handover request, a handover command from the source gNB associated with performing a handover procedure from the source gNB to the target gNB may be processed.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for providing control signaling for robust uplink data transmissions in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may be configured to perform an uplink transmission, including performing multiple repetitions of the uplink transmission. The wireless may select a beam for each repetition, and it may be the case that different repetitions are transmitted using different beams.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for reducing likelihood of Random Access Channel (RACH) transmission blockages and thereby facilitate an initial access procedure for new radio (NR) unlicensed spectrum (NR-U) operation in a fifth generation (5G) wireless communication system including an NR node. In some embodiments, a parameter generated by a gNB and received by a UE indicates that, from among a set of consecutive RACH Occasions (ROs), a gap is available for performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure before commencing a RACH transmission.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE), or other network component can operate to configure different sets of resources for an uplink (UL) physical channel for an uplink (UL) -to-downlink (DL) channel occupancy time (COT) sharing to coexist with another radio access technology (RAT). An energy detection (ED) threshold can be selected from the different sets of resource configurations for an UL transmission based on one or more conditions. A gap can be configured between a physical random access control channel (PRACH) transmission and a PUSCH transmission based on one of at least a first value associated with a numerology between the PRACH and the PUSCH and a second value greater than the first value. The UL transmission can be provided based on the ED threshold or the configured conditional gap via the UL physical channel.

Abstract: Various manners of reporting channel state information (CSI) measurements in a multiple transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) configuration are provided. A UE may perform channel state information (CSI) measurements for a channel measurement resource (CMR) for the first gNB and at least one interference measurement resource (IMR) for the at least one second gNB, determine a configuration for a CSI report for the CSI measurements including a channel quality indicator (CQI) measurement for the CMR and the at least one IMR and transmit the CSI report to at least one of the first gNB and the at least one second gNB.

Abstract: Various techniques are presented to improve phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) performance with respect to very high frequency communications. According to some embodiments, increased power boosting may be applied to improve PTRS performance, while still keeping power spectral density (PSD) within ETSI Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN) limits. In some cases, the power boosting may be semi-static and/or dynamic. In other embodiments, the improved performance may be achieved by dynamically changing time and/or frequency density of the PTRS. In other embodiments, a multi-port configuration may be used for the downlink PTRS. In other embodiments, one or more PTRS configurations may be determined per SCS and/or frequency band, e.g., based on traffic type, channel priority, parameters signaled in the slot format indication (SFI), etc. In other embodiments, common phase error (CPE) estimates may be obtained for those OFDM symbols without PTRS by interpolating the available PTRS estimates in the time domain.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for signaling unused channel occupancy time (COT) to the gNB for COT sharing among other UEs. Upon determining that a portion of the maximum COT (MCOT) provided to the UE will be unused, the UE can generate COT sharing information for transmission back to the gNB. The COT sharing information identifies a starting point and a duration (e.g., a number of consecutive slots) of the unused portion of the MCOT. This information is then encoded into configured grant uplink control information (UG-UCI) and transmitted to the gNB as part of the uplink transmission. In aspects, the unused portion may begin part-way through a slot. In this instance, a starting symbol of the unused portion or an ending symbol of the used portion may also be encoded into the uplink transmission. In this manner, unused COT is not wasted, but rather repurposed by the gNB.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing downlink transmission and interlace uplink transmission. For example, some aspects of this disclosure relate to a base station including a transceiver configured to communicate over a wireless network with a user equipment (UE) and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor divides a plurality of candidate Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) positions in a time window into a plurality of groups and communicates, using the transceiver, information associated with the plurality of groups of candidate SSB positions to the UE. The processor further performs a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure. In response to the LBT procedure being successful, the processor determines a first group of the plurality of groups and transmits, using the transceiver, one or more SSBs on one or more candidate SSB positions of the first group to the UE.
