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.

Abstract: Techniques for flexible hybrid automatic repeat request selection by a user equipment are provided. An example method includes a user equipment (UE) processing a plurality of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) opportunities associated with a configured grant (CG) cycle. The UE can apply a first logical channel prioritization (LCP) setting when processing a first PUSCH opportunity of the plurality of PUSCH opportunities. The UE can evaluate whether a condition for switching from the first LCP to a second LCP of the plurality of PUSCH opportunities has been met. The UE can, based on the evaluation, apply a second LCP setting when processing the second PUSCH opportunity.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein include methods, systems, and apparatuses for allowing a user equipment (UE) that supports dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) with uplink (UL)-shift to access a cell and barring UEs that do not support DSS with UL-shift. Embodiments may use a cell barring field in a master information block and additional filters to indicate a barring state for a network node.

Abstract: While in an inactive state, a user equipment (UE) device transmits a message to a base station. The message indicates the UE device's intent to perform transmission and/or reception of user data with the network during the inactive state. The message may include a portion of the user data and/or a buffer status report. The UE device receives a response message that induces a state transition in the UE device. Different state transitions (e.g., to idle, inactive, legacy inactive, connected) may be induced by different types of response message (e.g., release, release with suspend configuration, resume, setup). One particular type of response message causes the UE to stay in the inactive state and enables subsequent user data transmission/reception in the inactive state. The response message may implicitly (or explicitly) indicate that forwarding of the user data to a core network was successful.

Abstract: Techniques are described for improving service continuity for Multicast and Broadcast Services (MBS) communications during handover. Techniques are included for supporting lossless handover and data forwarding during handover for peer-to-multiple (PTM) MBS transmission. Lossless handover may be achieved in part by the user equipment (UE) providing to the target base station an indication of the next packet of the MBS session to be received following an RRC reconfiguration message, and an indication of any MBS packets provided by the source base station prior to the RRC reconfiguration message that were not properly received by the UE. Data forwarding may be performed from the source base station to the target base station if the MBS session was not configured on the target base station prior to the handover. Data forwarding may be omitted if the MBS session was configured on the target base station prior to the handover.

Abstract: The techniques described herein may include a device, comprising: a memory; and one or more processors configured to, when executing instructions stored in the memory, cause the device to: communicate, via a wireless communication network, information as in-order traffic using an in-order radio link control (RLC) entity; and communicate, via the wireless communication network, information as out-of-order traffic using an out-of-order RLC entity. The in-order traffic and the out-of-order traffic may be communicated using the same data radio bearer (DRB). The out-of-order traffic may include selective out-of-order delivery (OOD) or per-packet OOD. Additional examples, features and other techniques are also described herein.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling behavior for overriding grants for channel state information (CSI) feedback. A user equipment (UE) may control override of a first grant of a first radio resource by a second grant of a second radio resource. The UE determines that the second radio resource at least partially overlaps with the first radio resource. The UE also determines a physical layer priority of the first grant of the first radio resource and the second grant of the second radio resource. The physical layer priority is based on at least one of the first grant of the first radio resource and the second grant of the second radio resource being configured for transmitting CSI feedback over a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to a base station. The UE then generates a transmission according to the physical layer priority.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing measurements of one or more cells during an small data transmission (SDT) procedure between a user equipment (UE) and a network when the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) INACTIVE state are described herein. Beam and/or cell measurements taken during an SDT measurement period of the SDT procedure may be used to determine one or more respective cell qualities, among other possibilities. Beginnings and endings of the SDT measurement period, and the manner (timing) for taking measurements within the SDT measurement period, are also described. The cell qualities so determined can then be used to monitor, during the SDT measurement period, for a measurement event, which causes the UE to send a measurement report to the network having data determined using those cell qualities, and/or to send messaging intended to induce the network to change the RRC state of the UE.
