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 base station of a network operates as a serving cell for a user equipment (UE) and configures the UE to measure channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) from the target cell. The base station determines whether a target cell of the network transmits Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) information and transmits, to the UE, a measurement configuration message indicating the UE is to measure channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) from the target cell, wherein the measurement configuration message does not include SSB information for the target cell but further comprises an indication of whether the target cell transmits SSBs.

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.

Abstract: User equipment (UE) operation in a single frequency network (SFN). The UE may receive one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states corresponding to one or more downlink resources, receive a demodulated reference signal (DMRS) wherein the DMRS is quasi co-located (QCLed) with one or more channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) from multiple cells of a SFN and quasi co-location (QCL) information is included in the one or more TCI and determine a time and frequency offset corresponding to each of the multiple cells based on the CSI-RS.

Abstract: A base station is configured to receive channel state information (CSI) from a user equipment (UE). The base station transmits configuration information including one or more interference measurement resources (IMRs) allocated for measurement by the UE, receives a reference CSI report from the UE, receives a new CSI report including interference and noise power fluctuation feedback from the UE and selects a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for the UE based on at least the interference and noise power fluctuation feedback and the reference CSI report.

Abstract: An approach is described for a user equipment (UE), wherein the UE includes radio front end circuitry and processor circuitry coupled to the radio front end circuitry. The processor circuitry receives a reference signal from a source device via a radio link, wherein the reference signal is one of the synchronization signal block (SSB) signal or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). The processor circuitry measures a quality of the reference signal, and measures an evaluation time of the reference signal. The processor circuitry determines a first indicator of the radio link based on the quality of the reference signal, and determine a second indicator of the radio link based on the evaluation time of the reference signal. The processor circuitry then determines a status of a connection of the radio link based on the first indicator and the second indicator of the radio link, and generate a message based the status of the connection. The radio front end circuitry then transmits the message to the source device.

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.
