Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for enhanced Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ)-ACK in a fifth generation (5G) wireless communications system. A user equipment (UE) can receive, during a HARQ-ACK window, a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmission or a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) transmission corresponding to a SPS PDSCH release. The UE can generate a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ)-ACK information bit corresponding to the reception. The UE can be configured with an offset value, k, and a length, l, of the HARQ-ACK window associated with an uplink transmission slot n, of a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission, and determine a starting slot of the HARQ-ACK window as n−k. When a corresponding valid uplink transmission slot is not available, the UE can transmit the HARQ-ACK information bit in the uplink transmission slot n of the PUCCH transmission.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing resource allocations for feedback channels in sidelink communications. A UE can be configured to receive a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) transmission or a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission over a sidelink between the UE and a second UE for sidelink communication. The UE can allocate a set of resource elements within an interlace including multiple resource blocks to carry physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) content associated with the received PSCCH transmission or PSSCH transmission, where the set of resource elements includes a first resource element in a first resource block of the interlace, and a second resource element in a second resource block of the interlace. The UE can be further configured to transmit the PSFCH content carried by the set of resource elements as a PSFCH transmission to the second UE.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for a user equipment (UE) to perform joint channel estimation for multiple downlink transmissions. A method performed by a UE can include reporting, to a base station, a capability of the lIE to perform joint channel estimation, receiving a configuration for joint channel estimation, where the configuration includes a time domain window (TDW) indicating a duration of the joint channel estimation, and further determining whether to perform the joint channel estimation. Based on a determination to perform the joint channel estimation, the method can include determining an actual time domain window within the TDW for performing the joint channel estimation, and performing the joint channel estimation within the actual time domain window for a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission based on a first demodulation reference signals (DMRS), and a second PDSCH transmission based on a second DMRS.

Abstract: Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE). The UE obtains, from a network device, a first configuration information. The first configuration information indicates a first resource set for an aperiodic Sounding Reference Signal (AP-SRS). The first resource set for the AP-SRS includes a first list of slot offsets. The UE decodes a second configuration information from the network device. The second configuration information indicates a reference slot and a first slot offset of the first list of slot offsets. The UE generates the AP-SRS for transmission to the network device based on the reference slot and the first slot offset.

Abstract: A base station maps physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates and PDCCH transmissions for multi-transmission reception point (TRP) operation. The base station determines that a control resource set (CORESET) is to be shared by at least a first TRP and a second TRP corresponding to a cell of a network, performs resource element group (REG) bundle to virtual REG bundle mapping on a per TRP basis, wherein multiple REG bundles are indexed on the per TRP basis, performs virtual REG bundle interleaving across the first TRP and the second TRP, performs control channel element (CCE) to interleaved REG bundle mapping and transmits downlink control information (DCI) using the CORESET, wherein the CORESET is configured based on, at least, the CCE to interleaved REG bundle mapping.

Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring at and reporting by a target user equipment (UE) of one or more positioning signals sent from one or more assisting UEs to the target UE are disclosed herein. The target UE may receive a positioning signal from an assisting UE according to a communication received at the target UE. The target UE may proceed to perform a positioning measurement using the positioning signal received from the target UE. The positioning measurement may be used by the target UE to estimate its own position, or the positioning measurement may be sent to another entity within a wireless communications system to be used in estimating the physical position of the UE. The handling of multiple received positioning signals from various sources, and the handling of situations where, for example, a transmission reception point (TRP) and an assisting UE may schedule overlapping positioning signals, ate also discussed.
