Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform user equipment (UE) initiated beam management procedures with a base station or gNB. A wireless device in communication with a 5G base station may detect degradation in the pair of transmit and receive beams between the gNB and the device. The device may select a preferred beam management procedure and indicate the preference to the gNB.

In addition, the UE may perform receiving, from the base station, instructions regarding the beam quality measurement configuration. The instructions may include instructions to activate, deactivate, and/or modify at least one beam quality measurement configuration. In addition, the instructions may be based, at least in part, on the recommended beam quality measurement configuration.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to control data for retransmissions in wireless communications. In various embodiments, a UE sends acknowledgements (e.g., HARQ acknowledgements) at code block group (CBG) granularity. CBGs may be included in codewords that may be transmitted using multiple MIMO layers. In some embodiments, the network is configured to send a new data indicator for each CBG. In some embodiments, the network is configured to use a different number of layers for a retransmission of a CBG than for the original transmission. Thus, the layer-to-CBG or layer-to-codeword mapping may be specified dynamically. In various embodiments, the disclosed techniques may improve overall network bandwidth relative to traditional retransmission techniques.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods to dynamically indicate preference for self-contained slots and slot duration by a user equipment device (UE) in communication with a base station (e.g., a gNB) using a 5G NR radio access technology. A UE may determine to send an indication to a gNB indicating a preference for self-contained slots and slot duration for downlink and/or uplink communications utilizing one or more of the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and/or acknowledgement messaging (ACK/NACK) for downlink communications, and utilizing one or more of the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), the PDCCH, and/or the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for uplink communications. The configuration of self-contained slots and slot duration for uplink and/or downlink may be based on one or more of average packet size, average packet rate, traffic type and UE processing capabilities.

Abstract: A hierarchical beamforming structure may help reduce network traffic overhead for transmission of beam indication (information) and enable efficient Transmission Configuration Indication, while facilitating beam tracking between a base station(s) and a mobile device(s) during downlink communications. Downlink control information (DCI) may be expanded to carry/transmit a beam/QCL (quasi co-location) indication for a control resource set (CORESET) for monitoring a next instance of a physical control channel. Error resilient design techniques may be employed to further improve device mobility while increasing the flexibility and reducing the latency for GC-PDCCH/PDCCH beam/QCL indications. For example, the aggregation level for select DCI (e.g. DCI in which the GC-PDCCH/PDCCH beam indication has changed) may be increased, the transmission of such select DCI may be limited to a certain (specified) aggregation level, and in case discontinuous transmission (DTX) is received, the base station may transmit both old and new beam/QCL indications.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for a hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) mechanism for wireless communication devices of a wireless local area network (WLAN) are disclosed. Methods and apparatus to determine whether a packet is an original, first transmission or a retransmission of a previously transmitted packet without decoding the payload of the packet are disclosed. Medium access control (MAC) addresses of a transmitter, such as an access point (AP), and a receiver, such as a station (STA), of a WLAN are encoded separately with a retransmission bit to indicate whether the packet is retransmitted. For an aggregated MAC protocol data unit (A-MPDU), a sequence number is included to determine which MAC protocol data units (MPDUs) of the A-MPDU are retransmitted. When retransmission is indicated, the receiver of the STA performs a hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) process to combine the retransmitted packet with previously received packets.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to providing synchronization signal block index signaling in a cellular communication system. A cellular base station may provide synchronization signals according to a periodic pattern, including transmitting one or more synchronization signal bursts each including one or more synchronization signal blocks. A wireless device may detect a synchronization signal block. The wireless device may determine a synchronization signal block index of the detected synchronization signal block. The wireless device may provide an indication of the synchronization signal block index of the detected synchronization signal block to the cellular base station.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to indicating capabilities of a user equipment to a base station while performing cellular communication. A user equipment (UE) may transmit capability information to a base station. The capability information may comprise a maximum transport block size (TBS) per transmission time interval (TTI) and an associated processing delay of the UE for a reference subcarrier spacing. Alternatively, the capability information may comprise a maximum throughput and associated processing delay of the UE. The base station may determine at least one of a maximum TBS per TTI or a number of parallel hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes to utilize in subsequent communications with the UE based on the capability information and a subcarrier spacing to be used for the subsequent communications.

Abstract: A method performed at a base station and a corresponding method performed at a station receiving a transmission from the base station. The methods relate to signaling the station as to a number of PDCCH information that is included in the transmission so the station may terminate a search when the station has identified the PDCCHs in the transmission. The method performed by the station includes receiving the transmission that includes at least one PDCCH information, each PDCCH information having a respective mapped downlink control information (DCI). The method further includes detecting one of the PDCCH information in the transmission and determining lengths of information bits of the DCI and the PDCCH information. The method also includes terminating a search for a further one of the PDCCH information when a first type of padding is used for the mapping of the DCI over the PDCCH information based on the lengths.

Abstract: Managing radio resources across dual networks includes a wireless mobile device connecting to a first wireless network using a first radio access technology. The wireless device may notify the first network of a capability to be temporarily non-responsive to the first network while maintaining a signaling connection to the first network. The wireless device may communicate with a second network. The wireless device may return to communicating with the first network subsequent to communicating with the second network, and in response to communicating with the second network for less than a predetermined amount of time, the wireless device may send a scheduling request to the first network. In response to receiving a grant acknowledgement from the first network, the wireless device may send a buffer status report that includes a value such as zero to indicate that the wireless device has returned to and can communicate with the first network.
