Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to use multiple beams for transmission or reception. The UE receives, from a base station, at least one medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) that indicates multiple activated transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, receives, from the base station, at least one downlink control information (DCI) indicating a subset of TCI states of the multiple activated TCI states, wherein the MAC CE and the DCI are part of a TCI configuration, and wherein the subset of TCI states corresponds to multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) of a wireless network, maps the subset of TCI states to the corresponding multiple TRPs based on the TCI configuration and selects a beam used for transmission or reception based on one mapped TCI state of the mapped subset of TCI states.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for configuring physical uplink shared channel transmissions with improved reliability in a wireless communication system. A cellular base station may establish a wireless link with a wireless device. The cellular base station may provide uplink data transmission configuration information to the wireless device. The uplink data transmission configuration information may configure an uplink data transmission to multiple transmission-reception-points. The cellular base station may receive at least a portion of the uplink data transmission.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) reports radio access capabilities to a network. The UE receives a request from a network for radio access capabilities of the UE, determining one or more radio access capabilities related to physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) blind decoding by the UE, generates a message that includes the one or more radio access capabilities of the UE and transmits the message to the network.

Abstract: A base station and wireless communication (UE) may perform type II CSI-RS port selection based at least on partial reciprocity between an uplink path and a downlink path between the base station and the UE. The base station may identify dominant signal paths between the base station and the UE, based on measurements performed during uplink transmissions, and may transmit, to the UE, corresponding information indicative of CSI measurement and reporting configuration that may include a single measurement resource or multiple measurement resources. Each measurement resource may include multiple-port CSI-RS ports. The UE may indicate, to the base station, selection of a measurement resource when multiple measurement resources are configured, and may also report layer independent or layer common selection of a subset of CSI-RS ports included in the indicated single measurement resource or multiple measurement resources. Further enhancements include frequency domain compression enhancement and dynamic codebook parameter reconfiguration.

Abstract: Aspects herein relate to wireless devices, circuits, and methods for triggering earlier Channel State Information (CSI) feedback, comprising: transmitting, by a wireless device to a wireless station, an indication to provide earlier CSI feedback (e.g., wherein the indication comprises an indication that the wireless device has a reduced capability to receive messages); receiving from the wireless station, in response to the indication, a modified message (e.g., a Downlink Control Information or modified Medium Access Control Random Access Response), wherein the modified message triggers an earlier CSI feedback from the wireless device; transmitting to the wireless station, in response to receiving the modified message, the earlier CSI feedback using a message related to a RACH procedure (e.g., a Msg3); and completing a connection to the wireless station, e.g., in response to a repeated number of initial access messages broadcast from the wireless station and based on the transmitted CSI feedback.

Abstract: A method for a user equipment (UE) may detect Downlink Control Information (DCI) format 2_0. The DCI format 2_0 may comprise an available resource block (RB) set indicator information element (IE) that indicates a state of Listen Before Talk (LBT) sub-bands, and a Channel Occupancy Time (COT) duration indicator IE. The available RB set indicator is set to an unknown state when there is insufficient time to fully prepare the DCI Format 2_0.

Abstract: An example method for wireless communication includes: transmitting to a base station, via a user device: (1) a capability report for each of a plurality of antenna panels; and (2) an initial antenna panel index; receiving, from the base station, configuration information corresponding to each antenna panel of the plurality of antenna panels; selecting a first antenna panel for a first uplink (UL) transmission to the base station, wherein the first antenna panel corresponds to the antenna panel with the initial antenna panel index; selecting first configuration information corresponding to the selected first antenna panel; and transmitting the first UL transmission to the base station, using the selected first antenna panel and the selected first configuration information. In other aspects, rather than initially receiving configuration information corresponding to each antenna panel, the user device may receive the configuration information for each panel as it is selected for an UL transmission.
