Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to monitor synchronization signal blocks (SSB) transmitted by a base station of a network. The UE receives a configuration comprising a first indication of a quasi-co-location (QCL) relationship between synchronization signal block (SSB) positions and a second indication of a location of one or more sets of target SSBs, wherein SSBs in each of one or more sets of target SSBs are quasi-co-located, determines a number of SSB occasions corresponding to each set of the one or more sets of target SSBs to be transmitted by the base station and determines a monitoring scheme for the one or more sets of target SSBs based on, at least, the configuration and the number of SSB occasions corresponding to each set of target SSBs.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to report information to a base station that is used to configure multi-transmission and reception point (TRP) operation. The UE receives a multi-TRP configuration from the base station, wherein the multi-TRP configuration configures the UE with a primary TRP (P-TRP) and a secondary TRP (S-TRP), receives a measurement configuration from the base station, wherein the measurement configuration configures the UE to perform measurements associated with the P-TRP and the S-TRP, performs measurements associated with the P-TRP and the S-TRP based on the measurement configuration and transmits a measurement report including the measurements to the base station.

Abstract: A base station configures a user equipment (UE) to monitor a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). The base station receives, from the UE, a reduced PDCCH monitoring capability for at least one group of search space sets (SSS) of a PDCCH, determines a reduced monitoring capability (MO) configuration for the UE based on the reported reduced PDCCH monitoring capability and transmits the reduced MO configuration to the UE.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may be scheduled as part of a group of UEs. The UE receives a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with the group of UEs that includes the UE. The UE receives a signal from one of a cell on which the UE is currently camped or a cell to which the UE is currently connected, the signal scrambled by the RNTI and including control information. The UE decodes the signal using the RNTI and performs an operation in response to the control information.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in multiple component carriers (CC). The UE determines if the UE is operating in carrier aggregation (CA) mode having a first CC in a first frequency band and a second CC in a second frequency band. When the UE is operating in CA with a first CC in the first frequency band and the second CC in the second frequency band, the UE determines a span pattern for PDCCH symbols being received on the first and second CC and selects a PDCCH monitoring type based on, at least, the span pattern. A UE also determines if a first CC and a second CC of a CA combination are collocated and selects a PDCCH monitoring type based on, at least, the determination of whether the first and second CC are collocated.
