Abstract: A base station is configured to transmit wake-up signals to a user equipment to wake-up the UE to receive a page from the base station. The base station transmits one or more synchronization signals, wherein the synchronization signals correspond to a wake-up signal (WUS) that is to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) operating in a paging discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, wherein the paging DRX cycle includes a paging occasion (PO) and transmits the WUS to the UE during a WUS occasion, wherein the WUS indicates whether the UE is to utilize an active mode or a sleep mode during the PO.

Abstract: A network mitigates paging false alarms. A network component of the network determines a paging area for a user equipment (UE), wherein the paging area comprises a plurality of cells of the network, determines one of a most recent one of the cells of the paging area with which the UE was in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state or a coverage area of one of the cells in which the UE is currently located and configures a page to be transmitted to the UE from a subset of the plurality of cells of the paging area, wherein the subset is based on at least the determination of the most recent one of the cells with which the UE was in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state or the one of the cells in which the UE is currently located.

Abstract: Methods to enhance the coverage of NR systems for coverage-limited wireless devices are disclosed. A serving base station may configure a coverage-limited UE with parameters for the UE to operate in a coverage enhancement mode through RRC signaling, DCI, or RAR grant. The UE may use the configuration parameters to determine whether to enter into the coverage enhancement mode when connecting and communicating with the serving base station. The configuration parameters may configure the UE to exploit both time diversity and frequency diversity to extend and enhance coverage when receiving the PDSCH and PDCCH channels, when transmitting the PUSCH and PUCCH channel, and when transmitting PUSCH Msg3 during random access. Advantageously, the base station may flexibly and dynamically configure the UE with coverage enhancement parameters to extend the coverage of the UE using time diversity and frequency diversity gains as the UE moves around.

Abstract: The exemplary embodiments relate to a computer readable storage medium, a user equipment, a method and an integrated circuit that perform operations. A user equipment (UE) enters into a first state including one of a non-dormant state or a dormant state with a secondary serving cell (SCell) of a network, the SCell being configured to provide either one of a non-dormant bandwidth part (BWP) as a secondary component carrier (SCC) in the non-dormant state or a dormant BWP as an SCC in the dormant state. The UE switches from the first state to a second state including the other one of the non-dormant state or the dormant state, the switch being based on network configuration, a dormancy timer, or a radio condition.

Abstract: A next generation evolved Node B (gNB) configured to provide an unlicensed bandwidth for communications with a user equipment (UE) performs a listen-before-talk procedure to determine an occupation state of busy or idle for the unlicensed bandwidth. When the occupation state is determined by the gNB to be idle, the gNB signals the UE, via a downlink control indicator (DCI), to conduct a channel access measurement (CAM) on the unlicensed bandwidth, the measurement comprising at least one of an energy detection measurement or a signal quality measurement. A measurement report is received from the UE comprising an indication of the occupation state of the unlicensed bandwidth as determined by the UE.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for user equipment device (UE) uplink antenna panel selection. The UE may determine, based on at least one condition, to perform a beam switch from a current beam being used for communications with a base station. The UE may transmit, to the base station, an indication of an antenna panel status that may include an indication of a latency associated with the beam switch. The UE may receive, from the base station, an indication to switch to a target beam and to perform the switch, based on the indication, to the target beam. The indication of the antenna panel status may include a beam switching latency level for each beam in a beam report, a beam switch request that may indicate the target beam, and/or a beam switch request that may indicate that an antenna panel switch is to be applied by the UE.

Abstract: The implementations disclosed provide apparatus, systems, and methods for channel structure construction for a two-step random access channel (RACH) using a new radio (NR) user equipment (UE) wireless device. The wireless device includes one or more computer processors configured to generate a physical RACH (PRACH) preamble mapped to a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource unit. The PRACH preamble is associated with a preamble group indicating a configuration of the PUSCH. The preamble group has a size indicated by radio resource control (RRC) signaling performed by the wireless device. A message is encoded including the PRACH preamble and a payload carried by the PUSCH. The configuration of the PUSCH includes parameters for decoding the message. The wireless device couples communicatively to a base station using the PUSCH. The message is transmitted to the base station. The base station decodes the message based on the parameters of the PUSCH configuration.

Abstract: The exemplary embodiments relate to a user equipment (UE) performing radio link monitoring of a sidelink. The UE may transmit a signal over the sidelink and receive an indication of a type of hybrid automatic repeating request (HARQ) feedback in response to the signal. The UE may then generate a radio link metric associated with the sidelink based on the type of HARQ feedback. The UE may determine that the radio link metric satisfies a predetermined threshold and initiate a keep alive procedure for the sidelink based on the radio link metric satisfying the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for implementing beam failure management techniques at a user equipment (UE). The UE receives a timing advance command (TAC) from a currently camped cell and initiates a time advance timer (TAT). When the TAT is running the UE is in a first operating state. The first operating state indicates that the UE is in time alignment with the cell. The UE identifies that the TAT has expired. When the TAT is not running the UE is in a second operating state. The second operating state indicates that the UE is not in time alignment with the cell. The UE implements one or more beam failure management techniques based on the UE operating in the second operating state.
