    Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for a user equipment (UE) having dual connectivity. The UE can communicate with a first primary base station in a first primary cell (PCell) and a second primary base station in a second PCell. The UE has dual connectivity in the second PCell using a first wireless carrier to communicate with the second primary base station and a second wireless carrier to communicate with a secondary base station in a primary secondary cell (PSCell). The UE receives a message from the first primary base station to perform a handover procedure. The UE performs the handover procedure according to the received message, and further perform an addition procedure for the secondary base station in parallel with the handover procedure. A start time of the addition procedure can be before an end time of the handover procedure.

    Abstract: Some aspects include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for beamforming to perform received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements in a 5G wireless communications system. This beamforming may apply to RSSI measurements in an unlicensed spectrum. In some aspects, user equipment (UE) may use beam sweeping to analyze multiple received beams and to determine an RSSI measurement. When using beam sweeping, network nodes may use scheduling and/or measurement restrictions to avoid data collisions. These restrictions may apply to multiple active serving cells. In some aspects, a UE may use beam selection to determine an RSSI measurement. For example, the UE may select one or more beams from a serving component carrier (CC). In some aspects, a network node may indicate to the UE which beams to use for the RSSI measurement. In some aspects, the UE may use a frequency domain resource to perform the RSSI measurement.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include a system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method, and/or computer program product and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for implicit power saving operations for a network-controlled repeater (NCR) in a wireless network. Some embodiments include an NCR that can receive a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format including a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) monitoring periodicity, KS1, and operate in an On-state for a duration of KS1. The NCR can detect a skipped PDCCH monitoring periodicity, and operate in an Off-state for a duration corresponding to the skipped PDCCH monitoring periodicity. In some embodiments, the NCR operates with a carrier component (CC) with unpaired spectrum supporting slot configurations time division duplex (tdd)-uplink (UL)-downlink (DL)-ConfigurationCommon or tdd-UL-DLConfigurationDedicated. The NCR can detect from a System Information Block (SIB), a flexible orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, and operate in an Off-state for a duration of the flexible OFDM symbol.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured to report Channel State Information (CSI) to a wireless network. The UE transmits a first sounding reference signal (SRS) on an uplink (UL) channel, receives a first channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) on a downlink (DL) channel, wherein the first CSI-RS includes a first configuration of CSI-RS parameters based on the first SRS, performs first CSI-RS measurements based on the first configuration of CSI-RS parameters, transmits a first CSI report including the first CSI-RS measurements, transmits a second SRS on the UL channel, receives a second CSI-RS on the DL channel, wherein the second CSI-RS includes a second configuration of CSI-RS parameters based on the second SRS, performs second CSI-RS measurements based on the second configuration of CSI-RS parameters and transmits a second CSI report including the second CSI-RS measurements.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for hybrid measurement gap operation. A network-side device may provide a hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration to a wireless device, the hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration scheduling measurement operation of the wireless device in accordance with hybrid measurement gap patterns. The wireless device may receive the hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration, and thus perform measurement operation based on the hybrid measurement gap patterns as scheduled.
