Abstract: Techniques are provided for facilitating simultaneous uplink sounding reference signal transmissions from user equipment. In relation to a base station, a method includes causing transmission of configuration indication state (TCI-state) information to be provided to at least one user equipment (UE). The TCI-state information includes information regarding a current TCI-state. In conjunction with the TCI-state information, the method includes causing one or more initialization parameters specific to the TCI-state to be provided for at least one uplink sounding reference signal (UL SRS) transmission with comb-offset hopping and/or cyclic-shift hopping. Corresponding methods, apparatus and computer program products are also provided for a base station and user equipment.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for facilitating triggered PDCCH-ordered PRACH transmissions in multi-TRP scenarios. One method may include a UE determining that a first TCI state is to be applied in a first slot and a second TCI state is to be applied in a second slot. The first TCI state is associated with a first TAG ID, a second TCI state is associated with a second TAG ID different than the first TAG ID, and the second slot is succeeding and adjacent to the first slot. The method may further include, based upon the determining, determining a third slot. The second TCI state is firstly to be applied in the third slot. The method may further include applying the second TCI state from the third slot onward.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to timing adjustment. A terminal device performs timing advance (TA) acquisition on at least one target cell for cell switching from a serving cell for the terminal device to one of the at least one target cell. Then, the terminal device adjusts downlink timing of the at least one target cell, when a timer is running at the terminal device. As a result, it is allowed to efficiently control downlink timing maintenance burden at the terminal device.

Abstract: Example embodiments provide a procedure to improve reception of an aperiodic tracking reference signal by a client node, for example, when a periodic tracking reference signal was prevented. The aperiodic tracking reference signal resource may be dynamically associated with the periodic tracking reference signal through a provided synchronization signal block index. Further, a group common physical downlink control channel may be configured to trigger a monitoring window for reception of the aperiodic reference signal in response to a failed transmission of the periodic tracking reference signal. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.
