    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) and a network agree on the use of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) codebook. The UE receives a plurality of downlink control information (DCI) transmissions during a corresponding plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions from the base station, wherein each DCI transmission schedules multiple physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions on a corresponding one of a plurality of component carriers (CCs), receives a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table configuration from the base station, determines a maximum number of PDSCH transmissions per CC based on the TDRA table configuration, groups the plurality of CCs together and determines a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) codebook size based on a number of the multiple PDSCH transmissions, the maximum number of PDSCH transmissions, and a resulting ACK or negative acknowledgement (NACK) for each of the multiple PDSCH transmissions.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for using a relay user equipment (UE) to transport data of interest received from a first remote UE to a second remote UE on a UE to UE relay within a wireless communication system are discussed herein. These methods may be performed at Layer 2 of a protocol stack of the wireless communication system. Data packets sent on the UE to UE relay may include an adaptation header including routing information (e.g., Layer 2 addresses, a bearer-specific index, etc.) for the UE to UE relay. An adaptation layer may accordingly be provided within Layer 2 to decode these adaptation headers. In some cases, a per-bearer approach may be used to map between individual direct bearers of a hop by hop path configuration of the UE to UE relay. Embodiments eschewing the adaptation header and instead using logical channel identifiers (LCIDs) to make routing indications are also described.

    Abstract: A base station and a user equipment (UE) communicate the configure uplink communications in a multi-transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) configured network. The UE receives an indication of multiple sounding reference signal (SRS) resources that are to be used for uplink beam tracking, wherein each SRS resource is associated with different spatial relation information, transmits SRS using the associated spatial relation information, receives an indication that a user equipment (UE) is configured with one or more beam pairs, the one or more beam pairs configured by the network based on the SRS and transmits an uplink channel based on the indicated one or more beam pairs.

    Abstract: Various manners of reporting channel state information (CSI) measurements in a multiple transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) configuration are provided. A UE may perform channel state information (CSI) measurements for a channel measurement resource (CMR) for the first gNB and at least one interference measurement resource (IMR) for the at least one second gNB, determine a configuration for a CSI report for the CSI measurements including a channel quality indicator (CQI) measurement for the CMR and the at least one IMR and transmit the CSI report to at least one of the first gNB and the at least one second gNB.
