Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing wireless communications by rapidly moving user equipment device in communication with a network. The UE may adapt communication techniques in response to the UE's motion. For example, reference signals may be transmitted by the UE to additional transmission and reception points and/or using different configurations. Similarly, the UE may receive reference signals from additional transmission and reception points.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided to for a user equipment (UE) to report channel state information (CSI) to a base station. The UE sends UE capability signaling to a base station to indicate support of a codebook for high speed scenarios. The UE processes configuration information from the base station for CSI reporting using the codebook. The configuration information indicates measurement resources for one or more downlink (DL) channel. The UE measures a channel response and interference using the measurement resources, generates CSI feedback using the codebook for at least one ray from the base station to the UE, and reports the CSI feedback to the base station.

Abstract: A wireless communication system may use higher layer signaling to send transmission configuration indicator (TCI) parameters for a frequency band comprising the 52.6 GHz to 71 GHz range. A DCI message may be used to indicate an enabled TCI state for a channel occupancy time (COT). The wireless communication system may apply the enabled TCI state for the COT as indicated in the DCI message.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for cross division duplex (XDD) operation in a wireless communication system are described herein. A user equipment (UE) is configured with one or more sub-bands (SBs) within a larger overall bandwidth (BW) (e.g., represented by a component carrier (CC), a bandwidth part (BWP), etc.), and that use uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) resource allocation(s) that may be different than the larger BW. Configurations for such SB-specific (SBS) arrangements that use guard bands (GBs) between SBs are discussed. Mechanisms for slot format indications (SFIs) within such SBs using either SBS DCI or cross-SB DCI are discussed. Mechanisms for providing SBS uplink resource for initial access (e.g., random access) using at least one initial UL BWP that is configured relative to one or more SBs and that may be used by XDD-capable UEs are discussed.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein facilitate generation of uplink control information for Enhanced Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) Format(s) (EPF(s)). One example embodiment employable in a User Equipment (UE) is configured to: determine Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-Acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information; generate a PUCCH for a BandWidth Part (BWP) based at least in part on the HARQ-ACK information, wherein the PUCCH has an EPF; determine a PUCCH resource for the PUCCH and a first PRB index for the PUCCH, wherein the PUCCH resource is determined based at least in part on an index of a first Control Channel Element (CCE) of an associated Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and a number of CCEs in a Control Resource Set (CORESET) of the associated PDCCH; and map the PUCCH to at least one PUCCH interlace based on the PUCCH resource and the first PRB index for the PUCCH.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that selects a periodic resource associated with a pre-empted resource on a wireless link between a first user equipment and one or more second user equipment is described. In exemplary embodiments, the device detects a pre-empted resource that is one of a plurality of resources reserved for a first UE on a wireless link between the first UE and a second UE. In addition, the device may determine a new resource for the pre-empted resource. The device may further determine a periodic resource for the plurality of reserved resources.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed relate to apparatuses, systems, and methods for improved handling of phase noise (PN) in millimeter wave (MMW or mmWave) communications in a wireless communication system, such as 5G NR. When severe phase noise is present in a communication link, the link performance can be substantially degraded. Thus, it would be desirable to utilize techniques to compensate for phase noise in mmWave communications. In Rel-15, a Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PT-RS or PTRS) was specified for both downlink and uplink communications, specifically for Cyclic Prefix-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM) and Discrete Fourier Transform spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). However, prior art approaches to PTRS using block-based pilot allocation schemes required complicated receiver processing. Thus, the techniques disclosed herein attempt to embed one or multiple bands with DFT-S-OFDM PTRS design in the data allocation bandwidth of an OFDM transmission to improve handling of PN at sub-OFDM symbol time intervals.

Abstract: A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component) can process or generate a configured grant transmission based on a logical channel. A selection of at least one of: an uplink (UL) or a supplementary UL (SUL) can be configured to be utilized for a CG transmission on an uplink channel based on the selected CG and a consistency test for determining interfering or colliding transmission with the CG transmission.
