Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for supporting channel state information (CSI) report configuration for measuring time-domain channel properties (TDCP) of a channel between a user equipment (UE) and a base station. The UE can receive a CSI report configuration from the base station to configure a CSI report, where the CSI report configuration includes an indicator related to a number of tracking reference signal (TRS) resource sets for measuring TDCP of the channel. A TRS resource set can include at least two symbols in a slot for CSI reference signals (CSI-RS), and the slot is repeated to form multiple slots having a periodicity. The UE can further configure the number of TRS resource sets based on a CSI resource setting associated with the CSI report configuration, monitor the configured number of TRS resource sets to perform CSI report measurements.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for enhancement in configured grant transmission. An embodiment operates by receiving a configured grant (CG) configuration message configuring a plurality of CG physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission occasions (TOs) within a CG period. Next, the embodiment receives an information element indicating a time division duplexing (TDD) uplink-downlink (UL-DL) slot configuration. The embodiment then determines whether a particular CG PUSCH TO of the plurality of CG PUSCH TOs overlaps with a DL slot indicated by the TDD UL-DL slot configuration. Finally, in response to a determination that the particular CG PUSCH TO overlaps with the DL slot, the embodiment skips utilizing the particular CG PUSCH TO.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in multiple component carriers (CC). The UE determines if the UE is operating in carrier aggregation (CA) mode having a first CC in a first frequency band and a second CC in a second frequency band. When the UE is operating in CA with a first CC in the first frequency band and the second CC in the second frequency band, the UE determines a span pattern for PDCCH symbols being received on the first and second CC and selects a PDCCH monitoring type based on, at least, the span pattern. A UE also determines if a first CC and a second CC of a CA combination are collocated and selects a PDCCH monitoring type based on, at least, the determination of whether the first and second CC are collocated.

Abstract: Some aspects relate to a carrier aggregation wireless system having a user equipment (UE). The UE can generate a report of a UE capability to support a first downlink control information (DCI) in a first DCI format for a cell of a plurality of cells of the wireless system and a second DCI in a second DCI format for the cell, and a report of a UE capability to support splitting a blind decoding (BD) of control channel element (CCE) (BD/CCE) budget between performing BD/CCE carrying the first DCI in the first DCI format, and performing BD/CCE carrying the second DCI in the second DCI format. The first DCI in the first DCI format can schedule data transmissions for a set of multiple cells. The UE may perform BD/CCE carrying the first DCI in the first DCI format, and perform BD/CCE carrying the second DCI in the second DCI format.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to communicate with a further UE via a sidelink (SL). The UE encodes traffic for transmission to the further UE, wherein the traffic comprises a payload and a medium access control (MAC) subheader, wherein the MAC subheader indicates whether the payload corresponds to non-routed traffic between the UE and the further UE or routed traffic between either one of the UE or the further UE and a base station, wherein an other one of the UE or the further UE functions as a relay for the routed traffic and transmits the traffic.

Abstract: Approaches are described for receiving downlink signals simultaneously where analog beamforming is being used to increase the link budget between the base station and user equipment (UE). Alternatives within these approaches include the UE determining the synchronization signal block (SSB) to receive when there are multiple SSBs from different cells in a slot, and determining whether there are other signals in the same symbols with the selected SSB based on the type of signal and the SSB's functionality. In the case where there are another downlink signals channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) or physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from another cell, the UE selects the corresponding quasi co-location (QCL) assumption to receive the signals. Optionally, the UE can report whether it can support one or two QCL-TypeD at a time and whether it supports SSBs in different cells multiplexed in overlapped symbols.
