Abstract: To extend a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in wireless communications, an extended physical broadcast channel (EPBCH) transmission is generated with one or more legacy PBCH blocks and one or more EPBCH blocks within an extension window. A size of the extension window is determined based at least in part on a PBCH repetition number and a number of the legacy PBCH blocks relative to a number of the EPBCH blocks. The EPBCH transmission is transmitted by a base station (BS) to one or more user equipment (UE).

Abstract: To reduce the beam reporting latency, a base station may include a sounding reference signal (SRS) indication to a wireless communication device (UE) as part of the transmission configuration information (TCI) transmitted to the UE, allowing the UE to receive a corresponding downlink signal using the same beam (or with the same beam) the UE used to transmit (or with which the UE transmitted) the SRS indicated in the TCI. The SRS may be one of multiple SRSs previously transmitted by the UE. The UE may transmit the multiple SRSs periodically and/or according to semi-persistent scheduling, or it may transmit them aperiodically. Therefore, the UE does not need to report the beam quality, and the base station may perform the necessary beam measurement(s) instead. Various parameters and conditions may be defined for the UE to support SRS-based TCI.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform a method including a user equipment device (UE) exchanging communications with a base station to determine one or more scheduling profiles, such as one or more scheduling-power profiles, where a scheduling-power profile may specify one or more parameters associated with UE communication behavior, e.g., one or more constraints on UE communication behavior and/or slot scheduling of UE communications. In addition, the method may include the UE receiving a slot configuration schedule from the base station. The slot configuration schedule may be based on at least one scheduling-power profile of the one or more scheduling-power profiles. Further, the method may include the UE performing communications with the base station based on the at least one scheduling-power profile.

Abstract: An example method for wireless communication includes: receiving, by a user device in a reduced power state, resource information for receiving a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and tracking reference signal (TRS); exiting the reduced power state to receive the CSI-RS and TRS, based on the resource information; synchronizing with a base station, based on the received CSI-RS and TRS, to receive a downlink control information message; receiving paging information in a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission based on the received downlink control information message; determining whether there is paging information in the first PDSCH transmission for the user device; starting a Random Access Channel (RACH) procedure to make a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection, based on determining that there is paging information for the user device; and returning to the reduced power state, based on determining that there is not paging information for the user device.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to determine a default beam for a dedicated PUCCH/SRS in a CC. The UE may determine a pathloss RS has been configured in the CC, e.g., responsive to the UE determining that spatial relationship information for a default transmission beam has not been configured and determine the default beam for transmissions based, at least in part, on the (configured) pathloss RS. Additionally, responsive to determining that the pathloss RS has not been configured in the CC, the UE may determine that no CORESETs/TCI states for a PDSCH in the CC have been configured and determine the default beam for transmissions based, at least in part, on a default transmission beam in another CC, a CC index, a PRACH procedure; a PUSCH transmission; an SRS transmission, and/or a PUCCH transmission.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for performing sidelink communication. An example method includes receiving, via frequency and time resources of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), from a second UE, a signal encoding a sequence of bits corresponding to sidelink control information (SCI) stage 2; decoding the sequence of bits based on a SCI stage 2 scrambling initialization value (Cinit) to generate SCI stage 2 for a transport block (TB), wherein Cinit is determined based on at least a portion of a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code; and receiving the TB from the first UE based on the SCI stage 2.

Abstract: A device may obtain, through wireless signaling from a network, a time-domain wireless-resource allocation (TWRA) pattern allocated to the device by the network and corresponding to a future time interval (TTI) for which the device has not yet decoded corresponding control information. This enables the device to conduct wireless communications during the TTI using resources allocated according to the obtained TWRA pattern, without first having to decode control information to identify the TWRA pattern. The device may obtain the TWRA pattern by obtaining an indication from the network that the TWRA pattern remains associated with future wireless communications of the device until indicated otherwise by the network, and/or by transmitting to the network an indication of preferred parameters associated with the future wireless communications and the TWRA pattern, and/or by transmitting to the network a request to have the network change from a different TWRA pattern to the TWRA pattern.

Abstract: A base station may transmit to a device an indication of codebook subset restriction (CBSR), which includes at least a restriction on a frequency basis. The device may receive the indication of CBSR, and may transmit to the base station channel state information (CSI) according to the received indication of CBSR. The indication of CBSR may also include a restriction on a spatial basis and restrict the device from reporting the CSI based on a subset of the frequency basis in addition to the spatial basis per configuration of the base station. The indication of CBSR may include a separately configured maximum allowed amplitude of a weighting coefficient for the spatial basis and the frequency basis, where the weighting coefficient is associated with a column vector of a precoding matrix used by the base station and the device. The number of frequency bases and the frequency compression units may be determined based on a number of different criteria, for example the number of antennas, the number of subbands, etc.
