Abstract: An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprises one or more baseband processors to process a bandwidth part (BWP) switching request from a serving cell at slot n, and to perform an active BWP switch to a new BWP on the serving cell at a time no later than slot n+Y, wherein Y is a BWP switching delay. The one or more baseband processors are to accommodate a timing advance (TA) value to determine when to perform the active BWP switch. The apparatus can include a memory to store the BWP switching request.

Abstract: Embodiments of a generation Node-B (gNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods to configure measurement gaps are generally described herein. A serving cell gNB may transmit, to a neighbor cell gNB, a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) status request message and may receive, from the neighbor cell gNB 105, a CSI-RS status update message. The serving cell gNB may determine, based on timing information in the CSI-RS status update message, a measurement gap to be reserved for transmission of CSI-RS from the neighbor cell gNB to a UE that is served by the serving cell gNB. The serving cell gNB may transmit, to the UE, control signaling that indicates the measurement gap. The serving cell gNB may receive, from the UE, a measurement report that indicates a signal quality measurement based on the CSI-RS from the neighbor cell gNB.

Abstract: Embodiments include a computer readable storage medium, a user equipment, a method and an integrated circuit that perform operations. The operations include receiving a downlink channel information (DCI) format 2_0 from a g-NodeB (gNB) connected to the 5G NR network, wherein the DCI format 2_0 includes channel occupancy time (COT) duration and a gap threshold value, determining if a nonzero power channel state information reference signal (NZP-CSI-RS) resource is valid, wherein the NZP-CSI-RS resource is valid if the NZP-CSI-RS resource is within the COT duration and if a gap between a last symbol of the DCI format 2_0 and a first symbol of the NZP-CSI-RS resource is greater than the gap threshold value.

Abstract: Approaches are described to enhance radio link monitoring and link recovery for the integration of non-terrestrial networks (e.g., satellites) into next generation wireless communication networks. Certain approaches describe the modification of block error rate threshold requirements based on the particulars of the satellites involved, and the procedure for making those modifications. Other approaches describe the modification of the evaluation period based on the particulars of the satellites involved, and the procedure for making those modifications. In making these modifications, user-equipment (UE)-specific margins are also considered. In addition, modifications to the procedure for higher priority cell search are also described when non-terrestrial wireless communication networks are involved.

Abstract: A base station includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to transmit a first synchronization signal block (SSB) burst including a first set of SSBs. The first set of SSBs is transmitted via the transceiver on a first set of beams having a first beam pattern. The processor is also configured to signal, via the transceiver, a change in beam pattern for transmitted SSBs. The change in beam pattern is signaled before or during transmission of a second SSB burst. The processor is further configured to transmit the second SSB burst. The second SSB burst includes a second set of SSBs transmitted via the transceiver on a second set of beams having a second beam pattern. The second set of beams has a different number of beams than the first set of beams, and the second set of SSBs has a different number of SSBs than the first set of SSBs.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for implementing multiple receive (multi-Rx) chain downlink (DL) reception when the receive timing difference (RTD) at a user equipment (UE) from multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) is greater than the cyclic prefix (CP). An embodiment operates by configuring a first base station (BS) to transmit a first data and a second BS to transmit a second data simultaneously to a user equipment (UE) during a first symbol period, where the first data from the first BS is received by the UE using a first receive beam and the second data from the second BS is received by the UE using a second receive beam. The embodiment also configures the first BS to transmit a reference signal (RS) to the UE during a second symbol period that is subsequent to the first symbol period. The embodiment then determines a scheduling restriction applied to the second BS during a plurality of symbol periods, wherein the plurality of symbol periods include the second symbol period. Finally, the embodiment provides the scheduling restriction the second BS.
