Abstract: A user equipment (UE) monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) during a random access channel (PRACH) procedure. The UE receives a physical random access channel (PRACH) resource on a first sub-band of a component carrier (CC), wherein the CC is divided into a plurality of sub-bands and receives a Type1-PDCCH CSS (Physical Downlink Control Channel Common Search Space) set on a second sub-band of the CC, wherein the Type1-PDCCH CSS set corresponds to the PRACH resource.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to handle physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions during multi-transmission/reception point (TRP) operation. The UE receives a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission configured with downlink control information (DCI) in a single-DCI, multi-transmission/reception point (TRP) operation, wherein the DCI schedules reception of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission, determines whether or not a TCI field is configured in the DCI, when the TCI field is not configured in the DCI, determining a default beam based on a control resource set (CORESET) with the lowest ID in the PDCCH and when the TCI field is configured in the DCI, determining whether the TCI field indicates a TCI codepoint includes two TCI states.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) reports channel state information for multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) to a network. The UE collects channel state information (CSI) corresponding to multiple transmission reception points (TRPs), receives a signal configured to trigger a semi-persistent CSI (SP-CSI) report from a first TRP of the multiple TRPs, generates a SP-CSI report that includes CSI corresponding to each TRP of the multiple TRPs and transmits the SP-CSI report to a cell associated with the multiple TRPs.

Abstract: This disclosure describes the following enhancement to improve the PDCCH reliability: PDCCH aggregation and multi-beam PDCCH reception for a 5G wireless communication system. The disclosed techniques entail obtaining repeated PDCCH by processing a PDCCH-Config, ControlResourceSet, or SearchSpace configuration parameter including an information element (IE) indicating a number of consecutive slots in which the PDCCH is repeated. In another embodiment, a gNB generates the PDCCH-Config, ControlResourceSet, or SearchSpace configuration parameter for configuring a UE to receive the repeated PDCCH and employ the multi-beam PDCCH reception.

Abstract: A base station of a network provides a user equipment (UE) with information relating to monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of multiple component carrier (CCs) in a carrier aggregation (CA) scheme. The base station configures a first CC and a second CC of a CA combination for a user equipment (UE) and provides the UE with information for the CA combination, wherein the information comprises an indication whether the first CC and the second CC are collocated.

Abstract: The exemplary embodiments relate to signaling between a user equipment (UE) and a cell over the unlicensed spectrum. The UE may receive a signal broadcast by a cell of the network over a channel in the unlicensed spectrum. The signal includes a set of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) each corresponding to a set of synchronization signal blocks (SSB) and is transmitted during a discovery reference signal (DRS) window. The UE may then determine a location of the set of CSI-RS within the DRS window and perform an operation based on the set of CSI-RS.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) and a network agree on the use of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) codebook. The UE receives a plurality of downlink control information (DCI) transmissions during a corresponding plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions from the base station, wherein each DCI transmission schedules multiple physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions on a corresponding one of a plurality of component carriers (CCs), receives a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table configuration from the base station, determines a maximum number of PDSCH transmissions per CC based on the TDRA table configuration, groups the plurality of CCs together and determines a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) codebook size based on a number of the multiple PDSCH transmissions, the maximum number of PDSCH transmissions, and a resulting ACK or negative acknowledgement (NACK) for each of the multiple PDSCH transmissions.

Abstract: Various systems and methods disclosed herein describe improvements for beam management that leverage virtualization across a vertical polarization (V-Pol) and horizontal polarization (H-Pol). One or more of a user equipment (UE) and a base station may include an antenna array comprising both V-Pol and H-Pol antenna elements. A UE may message a base station to configure uplink (UL) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) operations across one or more of the V-Pol and the H-Pol. The message may include a number of MIMO layers to be concurrently used for communicating data to the base station, where each MIMO layer is transmitted using one of a V-Pol and an H-Pol; a number of sounding reference signals (SRS) to be transmitted by the UE, each SRS to be transmitted using one of the V-Pol and the H-Pol; and a supported maximum number of antenna ports per each SRS.

Abstract: A communication system provides reliable wideband communications with reduced. power consumption in a user equipment (UE) receiver. A UE may include receiver circuitry to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal from a wireless network and output an analog baseband signal. The RF signal includes M copies of a duplicated signal in a frequency domain. The analog baseband signal includes the M copies of the duplicated signal uniformly offset from one another in the frequency domain by a bandwidth F and including a gap between adjacent copies. The UE further includes an anti-aliasing analog filter an analog to digital converter (ADC). The ADC samples an output of the anti-aliasing analog filter at a sampling frequency selected to obtain a digital baseband signal comprising a combined digital copy of the M copies of the duplicated signal folded over each other.
