Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured for half-duplex operations with a network. The UE determines that half-duplex (HD) frequency division duplex (FDD) is enabled by a network with which the UE is communicating, wherein a guard period is configured for downlink and uplink switching when the HD FDD is enabled, performs a first uplink transmission at a first time and performs a first downlink reception at a second time, wherein the guard period represents a time duration between the first time and the second time during which the UE is not to perform a second different uplink transmission or a second different downlink reception.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing transmission of nominal repetitions of data over an unlicensed spectrum. One or more nominal repetitions of data are to be transmitted by a user equipment (UE) over an unlicensed spectrum used for both uplink and downlink transmissions. The one or more nominal repetitions of the data are segmented into multiple actual repetitions of portions of the data. The UE identifies an orphan symbol in an actual repetition of the multiple actual repetitions of portions of the data, and determines a filler symbol to replace the orphan symbol in the actual repetition. In addition, the UE transmits the multiple actual repetitions including the filler symbol in replacement of the orphan symbol to a base station over the unlicensed spectrum.

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

Abstract: A base station of a network configures a first search space having a first search space identification (SearchSpaceId) in a special cell (SpCell) and a second search space having a second search space identification (SearchSpaceId) in a secondary cell (SCell) for monitoring control signaling that schedules operations on the SpCell. The base station transmits a radio resource control (RRC) configuration to a user equipment (UE) including the first SSID and the second SSID, wherein the RRC configuration configures the UE to monitor the first search space having the first SSID for scheduling of a first type of control signaling and the second search space having the second SSID for scheduling of a second type of control signaling.

Abstract: Described is an apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with a fifth-generation Evolved Node-B (gNB) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to process a message comprising an indicator to indicate a number of contention based physical random access channel (PRACH) preambles within a PRACH occasion per Synchronization Signal Block (SSB). The second circuitry may be operable to generate a first PRACH occasion, based on the indicator.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for configuring full power transmission modes in a UE. The disclosed full power transmission modes include a Mode 0 and a Mode 3, which are enhancements over previous modes disclosed in the 3GPP specification. The UE gathers supported modes and configuration capabilities, such as number of ports and supported coherency schemes, and forwards the configuration capabilities to the network. The network analyzes the received information and selects a supported full power transmission mode based on the UE capabilities. The selection is then transmitted to the UE in a PUSCH-Config message. The UE extracts the selection from the PUSCH-Config message, and configures its radio accordingly.

Abstract: Measurement resources are often limited in 5G and 4G-LTE communications. As a result, SMTC and CSI-RS measurement windows will occasionally be assigned to the same resource elements of a signal frame. This results in a collision that must be resolved, since both measurements cannot be performed simultaneously. The collision can be resolved using restriction, where overlapping resource elements are assigned to either the SMTC or the CSI-RS measurements, or can be resolved using measurement sharing, where overlapping resource elements are divided among the two measurements according to a measurement sharing factor. Various factors, including priority or window periodicity may be taken into account by the measurement rules that dictate collision resolution.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for tracking reference signal (TRS) support of high speed use cases of 5G communications in a single frequency network (SFN), where a user equipment (UE) can measure a Doppler offset of a combined signal from two or more transmission reception points (TRPs) of the 5G communications system. A 5G node B (gNB) node can transmit a periodic, semi-persistent (SP), or aperiodic TRS with high measurement density that the UE uses to measure a Doppler offset of a combined signal. For example, the gNB can: trigger the aperiodic TRS based on a downlink assignment; and/or use lower layer signaling to arrange to transmit a semi-persistent TRS or a periodic TRS with a reduced periodicity. In some embodiments, the gNB can measure the Doppler offset based on an uplink signal, and transmit a TRS based on a pre-compensated Doppler frequency.
