    Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for use in a wireless network for scheduling intra-frequency measurements. Some embodiments are directed to a user equipment (UE). The UE includes processor circuitry and radio front circuitry. The processor circuitry can be configured to determine a collision signal status between an intra-frequency measurement signal and an uplink transmission signal. The processor circuitry can be further configured to determine a measurement gap status of the LIE. Moreover, the processor circuitry can be further configured to prioritize between the SSB measurement signal and the uplink transmission signal based on the collision signal status and the measurement gap status. Additionally, the processor circuitry can be further configured to perform a wireless measurement according to the prioritization between the intra-frequency measurement signal and the uplink transmission signal.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may perform configured to perform layer 1 (L1) measurements and layer 3 (L3) measurements. The UE receives a first configuration for layer 1 (L1) measurements of a resource set comprising a plurality of reference signals (RS) and a second configuration for layer 3 (L3) measurements, the first configuration including periodic measurement occasions and a reporting periodicity for transmitting measurement reports comprising the L1 measurements, determines the L3 measurements collide with at least one of the plurality of RSs for the L1 measurements, wherein the colliding causes a determination of the L1 measurements to be muted for the at least one RS during at least one of the measurement occasions and alters at least a first measurement report so that the L1 measurements that collide with the L3 measurements are not reported in at least one reporting periodicity.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives TCI state configurations for a plurality of signals, wherein a first state configuration comprises a first port for a first signal being quasi-co-located (QCL) to a second port of a second signal and a second state configuration comprises the second port of the second signal being QCL to a third port of a third signal and determines a TCI chain comprising the first, second and third signals so that channel measurements for each one of the first, second and third signals are applied to channel measurements for each other one of the first, second and third signals, wherein at least one of the first, second or third signals is an uplink (UL) signal.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for performing Beam Failure Detection (BFD), and in particular, for performing Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) based BFD and/or Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) based BFD. Disclosed embodiments include quasi co-location (QCL) and use case restrictions for SSB for BFD and Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), transition period handling for BFD, and implicit configuration SSB for BFD. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to simultaneously connect to a primary cell (PCell) and a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a wireless network, wherein a primary component carrier (PCC) of the PCell and a primary secondary component carrier (PSCC) of the PSCell are both in frequency range 1 (FR1). The UE receives a PCC measurement object (MO) configuration, a PSCC MO configuration, and an inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap configuration, determines a PCC MO carrier specific scaling factor (CSSF), a PSCC MO CSSF, and an inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap CSSF and applies each respective CSSF to a measurement period corresponding to each of the PCC MO, the PSCC MO, and the inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap to determine a scaled measurement period corresponding to each of the PCC MO, the PSCC MO, and the inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may support concurrent synchronization signal block (SSB) inter-frequency measurement without a measurement gap (MG). The UE may also, or alternatively, support concurrent SSB inter-frequency measurement in intra-band scenarios (e.g., where a target inter-frequency cell and serving cell are on the same band) and/or inter-band scenarios (e.g., where a target inter-frequency cell and serving cell are on the same band). The UE may report concurrent SSB based inter-frequency measurement as a NEEDFORGAP information element (IE), which may include one or more of a variety of parameters regarding UE measurement capabilities. Scheduling restrictions (e.g., restrictions to downlink and uplink communications) are also enabled based on UE measurement capabilities, including scheduling restriction for frequency range 1 (FR1), frequency range 2 (FR2), and cross frequency range scenarios.
