    Abstract: Techniques for changing a Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state by a user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communications system are provided. The UE receives a first message including a TCI state change command from a network and determines, based on the first message, whether a time offset/frequency offset (TO/FO) and a reception (Rx) beam for a new TCI state are known by the UE. Based on the determination, the UE calculates a time delay of the UE to be prepared to receive a reference signal with the new TCI state, generates a second message indicating the time delay of the UE for the new TCI state, and transmits the second message to the network.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing downlink control for multi-TRP transmission. A wireless device, comprising: at least one antenna; at least one radio coupled to the at least one antenna; and a processor coupled to the at least one radio and configured to cause the wireless device to: determine a gap period is to be applied between a first uplink transmission to a cellular base station via a first transmission reception point (TRP) and a second uplink transmission to the cellular base station via a second TRP; and perform the first and second uplink transmissions consecutively with the gap period applied between them.

    Abstract: Some embodiments are disclosed for Uplink (UL) Transmission (Tx) switching in a wireless network. Some embodiments a base station (BS) can receive first UL Txs, transmit, a dynamic trigger signal for UL Tx switching, where a number of configured UL Tx switching bands, M, is greater than a maximum number of UL Tx chains, N, where M and N are integers. The BS can receive second UL Txs according to the dynamic trigger signal. In some examples, the first UL Txs and the second UL Txs correspond to a first pair of bands of the M configured UL Tx switching bands, or the first UL Txs correspond to a first pair of bands of the M configured UL Tx switching bands, and the second UL Txs correspond to one band of the first pair of bands and a different band of the M configured UL Tx switching bands.

    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for Random Access Channel (RACH) configuration in Layer 1 (L1)/Layer 2 (L2) mobility. A user equipment (UE) may obtain a downlink (DL) Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) list from a first Transmission and Reception Point (TRP). The DL TCI list may include DL beam information, RACH Occasion (RO) information, and initial Bandwidth Part (BWP) information associated with each DL TCI of a plurality of DL TCIs related to the first TRP and multiple TRPs adjacent to the first TRP. The UE may receive a handover command from the first TRP via Downlink Control Information (DCI) in Li or Media Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) in L2. The handover command indicates a handover from the first TRP to a second TRP of the multiple TRPs for the UE, and includes a specified DL TCI related to the second TRP. The UE may determine RACH information related to the second TRP, based at least partly on the specified DL TCI related to the second TRP included in the handover command and the DL TCI list. The UE may then perform random access to the second TRP based on the RACH information related to the second TRP. The RACH information may include uplink (UL) beam information, RO information and Bandwidth Part (BWP) information for the UE to perform random access to the second TRP.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured to perform uplink power control. The UE determines that a first uplink transmission is scheduled to overlap in time with a second uplink transmission based on a look ahead window, determines a first transmission power for the first uplink transmission, determines a second transmission power for the second uplink transmission based on the first transmission power for the first uplink transmission and performs the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission.
