Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to establish a network connection including a new radio (NR)-NR dual connectivity band combination wherein a primary cell (PCell) of a primary cell group (PCG) and a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a secondary cell group (SCG) both operate on frequency range 1 (FR1) and wherein at least one cell of either the PCG or the SCG operates on frequency range 2 (FR2). The UE receives a measurement gap timing advance parameter, selects one subframe from multiple serving cell subframes and determines a starting point for a configured per-frequency range (FR) measurement gap based on the measurement gap timing advance parameter and the selected subframe.

Abstract: Techniques to protect a subscriber identity, by encrypting a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI) to form one-time use subscription concealed identifiers (SUCIs) using a set of one-time ephemeral asymmetric keys, generated by a user equipment (UE), and network provided keys are disclosed. Encryption of the SUPI to form the SUCIs can mitigate snooping by rogue network entities, such as fake base stations. The UE is restricted from providing the unencrypted SUPI over an unauthenticated connection to a network entity. In some instances, the UE uses a trusted symmetric fallback encryption key KFB or trusted asymmetric fallback public key PKFB to verify messages from an unauthenticated network entity and/or to encrypt the SUPI to form a fallback SUCIFB for communication of messages with the unauthenticated network entity.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for performing fast beam tracking in a wireless communication environment. A UE signals to a gNB its capabilities for intra-symbol beam sweeping. Depending on configuration, the UE can either assume that the intra-symbol beam sweeping configuration will be implemented, or will await a response from the gNB before implementing intra-symbol beam sweeping. Although this is generally carried out during initial access between the UE and the gNB, the beam sweeping configuration can be dynamically updated by either the UE or the gNB during established communication. For example, the UE can signal a desired change via its MAC CE, and the gNB can signal its change to the UE via DCI.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for using group based reporting for beam management in a 5G wireless communications system. A user equipment (UE) can determine based on a signal-to-interference-plus noise ratio (SINR) or reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement, a ranking of two or more beam combinations, and transmit the ranking to a 5G node B (gNB). The UE can receive from the gNB, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) codepoint that identifies a combination of two or more beams, where the TCI codepoint is based at least on the ranking. The UE can receive simultaneous transmissions via the combination, and transmit a report to the gNB that identifies by the TCI codepoint, SINRs that corresponds to the combination. In some embodiments the UE can simultaneously transmit on a second combination identified by a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator (SRI) codepoint.

Abstract: A method performed by a user equipment (UE) is described. The method includes establishing a connection to a network that includes discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles, each DRX cycle including a scheduled OnDuration and a wake up signal (WUS) opportunity corresponding to each of the scheduled OnDurations, when a WUS is received in the WUS opportunity for one of the scheduled OnDurations, configuring the UE to utilize an active mode of processing during the one of the scheduled OnDurations and when a WUS is not received in the WUS opportunity for one of the scheduled OnDurations, configuring the UE to utilize a sleep mode of inactivity during the one of the scheduled OnDurations.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for port selection codebook configuration. A user equipment (UE) may decode a channel state information (CSI) report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) from a base station. The CSI-ReportConfig configuring a port selection codebook comprising a port selection matrix W1, a combinational coefficient matrix W2, and a frequency basis selection matrix Wf. Based on the CSI-ReportConfig, the determines, for the port selection matrix W1, up to L CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) ports out of P CSI-RS ports configured for measuring and reporting CSI. For the frequency basis selection matrix Wf, the UE determines up to Mv frequency basis out of N frequency basis. For the combinational coefficient matrix W2, the UE determines up to L*Mv entries per layer. The UE reports one or more of the port selection matrix W1, the combinational coefficient matrix W2, and the frequency basis selection matrix Wf to the base station.
