Abstract: A base station may transmit beam indication information to one or more user equipment (UE) devices. For each of a plurality of time units (e.g., symbols) in a time interval (e.g., spanning one or more slots), the beam indication information indicates a corresponding beam that the base station will use to transmit or receive. A UE device may have knowledge of the beam in which it currently resides, e.g., by performing power measurements during a beam scan procedure. Thus, the beam indication information enables the UE to perform transmissions and/or receptions (e.g., configured transmissions and/or receptions) during the appropriate time unit(s). The beam indication information may be dynamically transmitted as part of downlink control information. This transmission may omni-directional, wide beam, or narrow beam. Various schemes of encoding the beam indication information are contemplated.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may attempt to access a base station of a network. The UE receives, from the base station of a wireless network, a broadcast including a system information block (SIB) identifying a plurality of random access channel (RACH) sub-bands of an uplink (UL) bandwidth and which of the plurality of RACH sub-bands includes physical random access channel (PRACH) resources. The base station selects one of the plurality of RACH sub-bands for a PRACH transmission and selects a preamble from the selected RACH sub-band and transmit the preamble to the base station to initiate a RACH procedure.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing multi-transmission and reception point operation in a wireless communication system. A plurality of transmission control indication states may be indicated for future use, e.g., using one or more paired lists. A subset of the indicated states may be activated. One or more states of the subset may be used for performing multi-transmission and reception point operation in a single downlink control information mode.

Abstract: A sidelink transmission and an uplink transmission that is carrying a sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) are both scheduled for transmission in a shared time window. If a priority associated with the sidelink HARQ is considered to be higher than a priority associated with the sidelink transmission, then a higher priority is assigned to the uplink transmission, regardless of whether the uplink transmission contains other uplink data. Otherwise, if the uplink transmission does not carry other uplink data, then the higher priority is assigned to the sidelink transmission. Greater transmission resources are given to the transmission with the higher priority.

Abstract: A base station configures a user equipment (UE) to monitor a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). The base station receives, from the UE, a reduced PDCCH monitoring capability for at least one group of search space sets (SSS) of a PDCCH, determines a reduced monitoring capability (MO) configuration for the UE based on the reported reduced PDCCH monitoring capability and transmits the reduced MO configuration to the UE.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the use of smart repeater (SMR) control information from a base station to an SMR to control aspects of SMR operation are disclosed herein. The SMR control information may control the operation of to either or both of an SMR synchronization signal block (SSB) beam sweep or an SMR channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) beam sweep. An SMR may report, to a base station, SMR capability information; receive, from the base station, SMR control information corresponding to the SMR capability information that includes a first portion configuring an SSB beam sweep and/or a second portion configuring a CSI-RS beam sweep; and perform, based on the SMR control information, one or both of the SMR SSB beam sweep and the SMR CSI-RS beam sweep. Systems and methods for signaling the SMR control information between the SMR and the base station are also provided.
