    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive from a base station a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions wherein multiple PDSCHs are transmitted within a single period of the SPS, the SPS configuration including a parameter for a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes associated with the SPS configuration, receive from the base station a downlink control information (DCI) transmission for activating the SPS configuration, the DCI including a HARQ process ID for one of the PDSCH transmissions in the SPS configuration, wherein the UE determines a maximum number of PDSCH transmissions allowed within the single period based on the parameter for the number of HARQ processes associated with the SPS configuration, validate the DCI to determine time domain resources to use for the PDSCH transmission and receive from the base station the multiple PDSCH transmissions within the single SPS period.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to communicate with one or more transmission and reception points (TRPS). The UE receives a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set configuration including a first resource set corresponding to a first transmission and reception point (TRP) and a second resource set corresponding to a second TRP, receives a downlink control information (DCI) transmission including an SRS resource indicator (SRI) indicating (i) which resource from the first resource set should be selected for a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission to a first TRP, and (ii) which resource from the second resource set should be selected for a second PUSCH transmission to a second TRP and transmits the first PUSCH transmission to the first TRP and the second PUSCH transmission to the second TRP.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for facilitating processing times in a 5G wireless communications system. When operating at higher frequency subcarrier spacing (SCS), slot times for receiving and/or transmitting data between user equipment (UE) and a 5G Node B (gNB) become shorter. Because of this, some UE may face difficulty in processing physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and/or physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) data with sufficient speed. To address potential limitations, a flexible minimum processing time may be used to accommodate different UE processing capabilities. The UE may report its processing capabilities to the gNB. The gNB may then schedule communications according to the UE’s processing capabilities. The gNB may consider whether the UE implements a single or multiple processing engines. Further, the gNB may apply single-slot and/or multi-slot scheduling techniques to also prevent timing issues.

    Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for generating a report result based on a set of measurements performed at measurement gaps during a reporting period. The set of measurements are performed on a reference signal at a first bandwidth part (BWP) or a second BWP when BWP switching is performed. The first BWP has a first measurement gap configuration, the second BWP has a second measurement gap configuration. The measurement gaps of the reporting period are configured according to a third measurement gap configuration that is determined based on the first measurement gap configuration and the second measurement gap configuration.

    Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing resource allocations for feedback channels in sidelink communications. A UE can be configured to receive a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) transmission or a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission over a sidelink between the UE and a second UE for sidelink communication. The UE can allocate a set of resource elements within an interlace including multiple resource blocks to carry physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) content associated with the received PSCCH transmission or PSSCH transmission, where the set of resource elements includes a first resource element in a first resource block of the interlace, and a second resource element in a second resource block of the interlace. The UE can be further configured to transmit the PSFCH content carried by the set of resource elements as a PSFCH transmission to the second UE.

    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for a user equipment (UE) to perform joint channel estimation for multiple downlink transmissions. A method performed by a UE can include reporting, to a base station, a capability of the lIE to perform joint channel estimation, receiving a configuration for joint channel estimation, where the configuration includes a time domain window (TDW) indicating a duration of the joint channel estimation, and further determining whether to perform the joint channel estimation. Based on a determination to perform the joint channel estimation, the method can include determining an actual time domain window within the TDW for performing the joint channel estimation, and performing the joint channel estimation within the actual time domain window for a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission based on a first demodulation reference signals (DMRS), and a second PDSCH transmission based on a second DMRS.
