Abstract: Embodiments of a generation Node-B (gNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The gNB may receive, from the UE, a first measurement report that indicates a first signal quality measurement based on new radio synchronization signals (NR-SS). The gNB may determine, based on reception of the first measurement report, a transmission direction for transmission of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) for a second RRM measurement at the UE based on the CSI-RS. The gNB may receive, from the UE, a second measurement report that indicates a second signal quality measurement based on the CSI-RS. The gNB may determine, based at least partly on the first and second signal quality measurements, whether to initiate a handover of the UE from a serving cell to a neighbor cell.

Abstract: An apparatus is configured for a user equipment (UE) device. The apparatus comprises baseband circuitry and/or application circuitry which includes a radio frequency (RF) interface and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to generate a physical random access channel (PRACH) within a slot at a medium access control (MAC) layer, generate a scheduling request (SR) within the slot at the MAC layer, determine a PRACH prioritization and an SR prioritization at a physical layer according to a prioritization rule; and provide the PRACH and the SR to the RF interface for transmission according to the prioritization rule.

Abstract: A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component) can process or generate a one-step paging reception or a two-step paging reception based on being in a sub-state of an idle mode. A UE can enter into an idle state to enable a decreased power consumption of battery, and further reduce power consumption by only monitoring a PDCCH in response to operating in a camped on any cell state, and eliminate processing a paging message when in the camped on any cell state.

Abstract: An apparatus of a first user equipment (UE) comprises one or more baseband processors to generate a message for a second UE to configure a New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) link between the first UE and the second UE, wherein the message includes a Quality of Service (QoS) metric to encode a plurality of QoS parameters for the NR V2X link, and to encode a packet for the second UE according to the QoS parameter. The apparatus can include a memory to store the message.

Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Next Generation Node-B (gNB), Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may determine, based on one or more detected synchronization signals, a reference timing to be used for a common synchronization of Long Term Evolution (LTE) sidelink communication on an LTE PC5 interface and New Radio (NR) sidelink communication on an NR PC5 interface in accordance with time division multiplexing (TDM) operation, wherein subframe boundaries of the LTE PC5 interface and the NR PC5 interface are aligned in time. If the UE detects, during a time period, an in-device conflict between a service configured for the LTE PC5 interface and a service configured for the NR PC5 interface, the UE may determine which of the services to support during the time period based on corresponding priorities.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may assess a radio link quality of a plurality of frames for communication, via the interface to the RF circuitry, with a radio access network (RAN) node. When the radio link quality of a frame, of the plurality of frames, is below an out-of-sync (OOS) threshold, the UE may indicate that the frame is OOS. When the radio link quality of a frame, of the plurality of frames, is above an in-sync (IS) threshold that the frame is IS. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may process information, received from the RAN node indicating a partial subframe, of a subframe, to be used to transmit uplink control information (UCI) to the RAN node. The UE ma also perform UCI mapping for using of the partial subframe to transmit UCI via a physical uplink control channel (PUSCH), and proceed by using the partial subframe to communicate the UCI to the RAN node.

Abstract: A service device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), or other network component) can operate to generate sidelink communications with peer UE vehicle-to-vehicle devices based on PC5 channel to enable a peer-to-peer communication as part of PC5 vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. An admission control scheme or a congestion control scheme can be enabled by determining a configured mapping based on various criteria, including a priority of V2X services, V2X packet Quality of Service (QoS) indications per packet, or other criteria. A UE can determine whether a packet is authorized via the sidelink channel based on the configured mapping.
