Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is served by a serving cell of a network and is configured to measure channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) from a target cell. The UE receives, from the serving cell, a measurement configuration message indicating the UE is to measure CSI-RS from a target cell of the network, wherein the measurement configuration message does not include Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) information for the target cell but further comprises an indication of whether the target cell transmits SSBs. The UE determines, based on at least the measurement configuration message, a time and frequency resource on which the CSI-RS of the target cell are to be transmitted and measures the CSI-RS of the target cell.

Abstract: A base station configures a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for transmission to one or more user equipments (UEs). The base station divides a component carrier (CC) bandwidth into a plurality of sub-bands, transmits a physical random access channel (PRACH) resource on at least one of the sub-bands and transmits a Type1-PDCCH CSS (Physical Downlink Control Channel Common Search Space) set on at least one of the sub-bands, wherein the Type1-PDCCH CSS set corresponds to the PRACH resource.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may transmit hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback when part of a group of UEs. The UE receives a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with a group of UEs that includes the UE. The UE monitors for a signal from one of a cell on which the UE is currently camped or a cell to which the UE is currently connected that is scrambled by the RNTI and includes control information. The UE transmits HARQ feedback to the one of the currently camped cell or currently connected cell, the HARQ feedback associated with the signal and, when the signal is received, performs an operation in response to the control information.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for a signaling mechanism for user equipment (UE) assistance feedback in a wireless communication system. At least a radio frequency integrated circuit can be configured to receive a first configuration signal, and transmit a first message comprising a UE assistance feedback, generated based on the first configuration signal, in an uplink (UL) channel. The first message can contain an index of a profile with information on a service requirement, a traffic characteristic, or a combination thereof of a network. A processor, coupled to the radio frequency integrated circuit, can be configured to generate the UE assistance feedback based on the first configuration signal.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for resource monitoring and power saving in a user equipment (UE) operating according to a discontinuous reception (DRX) in new radio (NR) wireless communication system. The UE, operating in the DRX mode, monitors for a wake up occasion in control signal prior to the DRX ON time. If the wake occasion is detected, then the EFE monitors for a channel state information (CSI) resource signal (RS) prior to the DRX ON time. If no wake up occasion is detected, then at least a portion of the UE remains in a sleep mode prior to DRX ON time.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for radio link monitoring (RLM) evaluation period and layer 1 (L1) indication interval enhancements. A user equipment (UE) uses a scaling factor to scale the RLM evaluation period and/or the L1 indication interval. Different scaling factors may be used for different scenarios, conditions, or criteria. The same or different scaling factors may be used for the RLM evaluation period and the L1 indication interval. The scaling factor or a scaling factor index may be signaled to the UE by higher layer signaling. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode synchronization information within a synchronization signal (SS) block, the SS block received within a SS burst set and occupying a subset of a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols within a slot. At least one of the symbols in the subset coincides with a pre-defined symbol location associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). A synchronization procedure can be performed with a next generation Node-B (gNB) based on the synchronization information within the SS block. The DM-RS can be detected within the slot, where the DM-RS starts at a symbol location that is shifted from the pre-defined symbol location and following the subset of symbols. Downlink data received via the PDSCH is decoded based on the detected DM-RS.
