Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to received phase tracking-reference signals (PT-RS). The UE receives configuration information associated with inserting phase tracking-reference signals (PT-RS) into a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) signal, generates a first signal that is to be transmitted over the PUCCH and is configured to include one or more PT-RS and transmits the first signal over the PUCCH. The UE may also generate a second signal that is to be transmitted over the PUSCH and is configured to include one or more PT-RS, wherein the configuration information further comprises configuration information associated with inserting PT-RS into a physical uplink control (PUSCH) signal and transmit the second signal over the PUSCH, wherein the PUCCH and PUSCH transmissions are performed simultaneously over different component carriers (CCs).

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein relate to acknowledgement signaling sent by a user equipment (UE) in response to downlink control information (DCI) received from a base station that schedules the use of multiple physical uplink control channels (multi-PUSCH) or multiple physical downlink control channels (multi-PDSCH). Acknowledgement signaling may inform the base station that DCI scheduling the multi-PUSCH/multi-PDSCH was received (or not), so that the base station may reclaim those scheduled resources in the case that the UE remains unaware of them. Methods for performing this signaling include, e.g., the use of HARQ-ACK codebooks (whether in a semi-static or dynamic manner), and aperiodic sounding reference signals (A-SRS). Embodiments involving such DCI received across multiple component carriers of different serving cells of the UE are contemplated. Acknowledgment signaling according to multi-PUSCH/multi-PDSCH subgroups, monitoring windows, acknowledgment signaling enablement/disablement, and the use of DCI to trigger acknowledgment signaling are also discussed.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is connected to a wireless network and operates in a carrier aggregation (CA) state that includes a first connection to a primary cell and a second connection to a secondary cell. The UE determines a beam failure has occurred for one of the first connection or the second connection and initiates a beam failure recovery (BFR) operation. The BFR operation includes transmitting, to the primary cell, a BFR Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE).

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for performing L1-RSRP (Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power) measurements and/or L1-SINR (Layer 1 Signal-to-Noise and Interference Ratio) measurements on a neighbor cell. For example, some aspects of this disclosure relate to an electronic device. The electronic device includes a transceiver configured to communicate with a serving cell and a neighbor cell and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor determines a measurement period for a Layer 1 (L1) measurement on the neighbor cell and receives, using the transceiver, a resource from the neighbor cell during the measurement period. The processor further performs the L1 measurement on the neighbor cell using the received resource from the neighbor cell.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) from a wireless network to estimate frequency and timing errors. The UE receives a quasi co-location (QCL) configuration between a synchronization signal block (SSB) and at least one of a further SSB or a tracking reference signal (TRS), receives the SSB and the at least one of the further SSB or the TRS and estimates a frequency and timing error for the SSB by combining, based on the QCL configuration, measurements for the SSB and measurements for the at least one of the further SSB or the TRS.
