Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives scheduling information from a base station of a wireless network. The UE monitors a first physical resource to receive a common downlink control information (DCI) portion of scheduling information for the UE, decodes the common DCI portion to determine information for a UE-specific DCI portion that is transmitted by the base station on a second physical resource, monitors the second physical resource for the UE-specific DCI portion based on at least the information from the common DCI and decodes the UE-specific DCI portion based on at least the information from the common DCI.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to report channel state information (CSI) to a base station of a network. The UE receives configuration information from the base station including one or more interference measurement resources (IMRs) to be measured by the UE, determines a noise power for each of the IMRs, transmits a reference channel state information (CSI) report the base station, measures CSI reference signals (CSI RS) transmitted by the base station to determine an interference and noise power for each of the one or more IMRs and transmits a new CSI report including one of i) only interference and noise power fluctuation feedback or ii) multiple signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) or SINR statistics to the base station.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) reports beam management information to a network. The UE receives a first group of multiple reference signals from a first transmission reception point (TRP) of a network, receives a second group of multiple reference signals from a second different TRP of the network, selects a first beam associated with one of the multiple reference signals of the first group, selects a second beam associated with one of the multiple reference signals of the second group and transmits a message to the network, the message including an indication of the selected first beam and second beam.

Abstract: Herein described are apparatuses, systems, and methods related to handover operations of user equipment within a wireless network. An apparatus for an evolved NodeB (eNB) may include circuitry to determine one or more candidate eNBs available to provide service to a user equipment (UE) based on cell information received from one or more other eNBs, and generate an autonomous handover (HO) information message for transmission to the UE, wherein the autonomous HO information message includes an indication of the one or more candidate eNBs. The apparatus may further include memory to store the indication of the one or more candidate eNBs. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: An approach to reduce the signaling overhead for tracking reference signal (TRS) configuration signaling to idle and inactive user equipments (UEs) operating in a wireless communication system. Conventional signaling approaches require more bits that can be conveyed in the maximum system information block (SIB) message size. One proposed approach optimizes the signaling by removing unnecessary or redundant information, using a single TRS configuration to replace multiple configurations, size reduction in some fields, and the sharing of some fields across different TRS configurations. Another proposed approach uses an SIB message to carry the TRS configurations for a particular beam or subset of beams. These two proposed approaches may be combined to provide further optimization possibilities.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to simultaneously connect to a primary cell (PCell) and a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a wireless network, wherein a primary component carrier (PCC) of the PCell and a primary secondary component carrier (PSCC) of the PSCell are both in frequency range 1 (FR1). The UE receives a PCC measurement object (MO) configuration, a PSCC MO configuration, and an inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap configuration, determines a PCC MO carrier specific scaling factor (CSSF), a PSCC MO CSSF, and an inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap CSSF and applies each respective CSSF to a measurement period corresponding to each of the PCC MO, the PSCC MO, and the inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap to determine a scaled measurement period corresponding to each of the PCC MO, the PSCC MO, and the inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap.
