    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for relaxing evaluation of radio link quality. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal device transmits, to a network device, capability information indicating a capability of the terminal device to relax an evaluation of a radio link quality. The terminal device receives, from the network device, a relaxation configuration for relaxing the evaluation. The terminal device performs the evaluation using a relaxed evaluation period determined based on the relaxation configuration. The relaxed evaluation period is longer than a normal evaluation period without relaxing the evaluation.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for beam failure recovery (BFR) are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) receives downlink (DL) reference signal(s) on corresponding beam(s) from a base station. The UE performs beam failure detection (BFD) on such beams used for user data to determine whether a beam failure has occurred, and candidate beam detection (CBD) on such beams not used for user data to identify candidate beams for recovering from the beam failure. The BFD and the CBD are based on both uplink (UL) channel performance considerations and DL channel performance considerations, as determined using the DL reference signal(s), such that a beam failure may be determined in the UL, the DL, or both, and a candidate beam may be identified for UL, DL, or both. The UE sends a beam failure recovery request BFRQ with this information to the base station, and the system changes beams accordingly.

    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: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable storage media for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement. (HARQ-ACK) codebook handling. In example embodiments, a method is provided. The method comprises determining, at a terminal device, respective hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback configurations of a plurality of HARQ processes, wherein each HARQ feedback configuration indicates whether HARQ feedback is enabled or disabled for a corresponding HARQ process; and generating a HARQ-ACK codebook for Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) based on the HARQ feedback configurations of the plurality of HARQ processes; and transmitting the HARQ-ACK codebook to a network device.
