    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed for determining prioritization of subsequent small data transmissions (SDTs) and measurement occasions for a UE in inactive mode. The UE may determine that one or more subsequent SDT occasions of an SDT session conflict in time with one or more measurement occasions scheduled during the SDT session. In response, the UE may determine which of the subsequent SDT occasions to utilize or forgo, and which of the measurement occasions to utilize or forgo. The procedure for making such determinations may vary based on the type of measurement occasion involved in the conflict. For example, the procedure may vary based on whether the measurement event pertains to inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement occasions, inter-RAT neighbor cell measurement occasions, intra-frequency neighbor cell measurement occasions, serving cell downlink measurement occasions, and/or serving cell paging occasions.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are disclosed for avoiding slot decoding failure due to beam switching of a common beam. In one example, a baseband processor for a user equipment (UE) is configured to cause the UE to perform various operations. The operations include receiving a data transmission on a plurality of component carriers (CCs) carrying corresponding symbols on a common beam; receiving a beam switch command from the network node, wherein the beam switch command is configured to cause the UE to switch a receiving (RX) beam at an end boundary of a first symbol of the data transmission; identifying one or more symbols for restricted scheduling in one or more CCs of the plurality of CCs based on the beam switching on the first symbol; and ignoring the one or more symbols identified for restricted scheduling for decoding of the data transmission.

    Abstract: Serving cell measurements at a reduced capability UE in idle mode in FRI includes identifying an eDRX cycle length associated with the reduced capability UE is longer than or equal to 20.48 s and shorter than or equal to 10, 485.76 s. The eDRX cycle length includes a DRX cycle length. A measurement period associated with a serving cell of the reduced capability UE is determined to occur within a single PTW of the eDRX cycle. The measurement period includes measurement samples to be performed within the single PTW. A length of the single PTW is determined based on a product of the DRX cycle length and a sample scaling factor associated with the measurement samples. The length of the single PTW comprises a multiple of 1.28. Serving cell measurements are performed during the single PTW. The serving cell measurements include each of the measurement samples associated with the measurement period.
