Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to discontinuous reception (DRX) transmission. Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a solution for DRX configurations for point-to-point (PTP) and/or point-to-multipoint (PTM) transmissions. In this solution, a user equipment (UE) maintains separate DRX configurations for PTP transmissions and PTM transmissions. During active time for the PTP transmissions, the UE monitors physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with a UE specific identifier. The UE monitors PDCCH with a PTM transmission specific identifier during active time for the PTM transmissions. In this way, it can match the MBS service quality mechanism. Moreover, it also saves power at the UE.

Abstract: A communication system provides reliable wideband communications with reduced power consumption in a user equipment (UE) receiver. A UE may include receiver circuitry to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal from a wireless network and output an analog baseband signal. The RF signal includes M copies of a duplicated signal in a frequency domain. The analog baseband signal includes the M copies of the duplicated signal uniformly offset from one another in the frequency domain by a bandwidth F and including a gap between adjacent copies. The UE further includes an anti-aliasing analog filter an analog to digital converter (ADC). The ADC samples an output of the anti-aliasing analog filter at a sampling frequency selected to obtain a digital baseband signal comprising a combined digital copy of the M copies of the duplicated signal folded over each other.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for channel occupancy rate determination of a channel between a user equipment (UE) and a base station in an unlicensed spectrum. A UE can perform measurements based on a measurement configuration from the base station, and further determine a channel occupancy rate of the channel based on the performed measurements. The measurement configuration indicates to the UE to perform an omni measurement or a directional measurement by using an antenna element of the UE. The UE can further transmit a report to the base station to indicate the channel occupancy rate.

Abstract: Some aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for providing signaling and procedures to indicate a mode of communication of a wireless communication system. For example, a base station is configured to determine a mode of communication for a cell associated with the base station. The mode of communication can include one of a full-duplex mode or a half-duplex mode. The base station can further generate system information to enable initial access by a user equipment (UE) to the cell. A portion of the system information can indicate the mode of communication for the cell. The base station can also transmit the system information to the UE.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing a beam pairing procedure between a transmission UE and a receiver UE. The transmission UE and the receiver UE can configure a set of beam patterns to be used in the beam pairing procedure. The set of beam patterns can include one or more transmission beams of the UE, and one or more receiving beams of the receiver UE. The transmission UE can transmit one or more sidelink reference signals to the receiver UE, and the receiver UE can perform signal strength measurements of the one or more sidelink reference signals. Based on the signal strength measurements, either the transmission UE or the receiver UE can make the selection of the transmission beam and the corresponding receiving beam for the beam pairing procedure.

Abstract: Current 5G provisions for wireless communications do not allow for the differentiation of channel access by User Equipments (UEs) with different priorities. Approaches are described by which priority access for UEs in a controlled environment using frame based equipment (FBE), and in particular for different UEs or the same UE that has different configured grants. The approaches are particularly helpful for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) UEs. In one approach, the UE performs a clear channel assessment (CCA) in an idle period before the fixed frame period (FFP), followed by a channel access priority test. In an alternative approach, the UE performs a channel access priority test before the UE performs a clear channel assessment (CCA) in an idle period before the fixed frame period (FFP). Other approaches include setting the fixed frame period length to different sizes for each UE, using a random number of skipped fixed frame periods, and the gNB configuring UEs with multiple semi-static channel access mode parameters.
