Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing beam failure recovery in a high speed single frequency network scenario in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may establish a cellular link with a cellular network according to a single frequency network scheme. The wireless device may determine one or more beam failure detection resources for each of multiple transmission reception points associated with the cellular network. The wireless device may detect beam failure for one or more of the transmission reception points using the beam failure detection resources.

Abstract: One or more methods of operating an access node. At least one of the methods includes: detecting a capability indication that indicates a capability of a user equipment (UE) to simultaneously receive and transmit (Rx/Tx) on a first component carrier (CC1) and a second component carrier (CC2); and scheduling, based at least on the capability, a first UE activity to occur over the CC1 and a second UE activity to occur over the CC2 to avoid a collision in a time-domain by prioritizing one of the first UE activity or the second UE activity relative to the other one of the first UE activity or the second UE activity.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for a UE and its serving base station to coordinate the activation and deactivation of measurement gaps for performing positioning measurements by the UE using target positioning reference signals (PRS) during bandwidth part (BWP) switching. The UE may be configured by the serving base station to have dedicated measurement gaps. The UE determines if a legacy measurement gap used for mobility measurements or a scheduled data transmission collides with the dedicated measurement gaps. If there is a collision, the UE performs the mobility measurement using the legacy measurement gap or transmits the scheduled data. If there is no collision, the UE receives the PRS to perform the positioning measurement during the dedicated measurement gaps. In one embodiment, based on the status of the active BWP and the target PRS, the UE or the base station may activate or deactivate measurement gaps for the positioning measurements.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing uplink (UL) gaps to facilitate user equipment (UE) calibration are disclosed herein. A UE determines one or more slot patterns of a slot configuration that is repeated during time division duplex (TDD) communication with a base station. The UE determines a UL gap periodicity (defining periods covering an integer number of repetitions of the slot configuration). The UE then performs UE calibration during one or more semi-persistently configured UL slots of a period of the UL gap periodicity that correspond to UL indication(s) in one or more of a common configuration, a dedicated configuration, and/or a slot format indication (SFI) downlink control information (DCI) for the slot pattern(s) of the slot configuration. Methods of identifying particular semi-persistently configured UL slots of a period to use for the UL gap are also discussed. UL slot indications from dynamic DCI are not used for UL gap purposes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that acquires transmission configuration indicator (TCI) information for secondary cell (SCell) activation is described. device determines, during secondary cell (SCell) activation, that beam information to enable a user equipment (UE) to make a reliable layer 1 (L1)-Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) measurement report is unavailable. The device is to perform the L1-RSRP measurement using pre-configured information during the SCell activation.

Abstract: Configuring non-zero-power channel state information reference signal (NZP-CSI-RS) may include encoding a channel state information (CSI) configuration communication for transmission to a user equipment (UE) that is in connected mode with both a first transmission and reception point (TRP) associated with a serving cell and a second TRP associated with a neighbor cell. The NZP-CSI-RS configuration communication may establish a plurality of parameters for NZP-CSI-RS in the serving cell and the neighbor cell.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) associated with a wireless communication system is disclosed. The UE comprises a processor configured to receive a first downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The first DCI includes a non-numerical (NN) value of K1 for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-ACK feedback. The processor is further configured to determine a first priority class associated with the first PDSCH, and determine K1 value and priority class associated with one or more subsequent PDSCH received from the base station, until a selected PDSCH having a numerical K1 value and a same priority class as the first priority class is identified. Further, the processor is configured to provide HARQ feedback associated with the first PDSCH using a PUCCH/PUSCH occasion indicated by a second DCI scheduling the selected PDSCH.

Abstract: User equipment (UE) operation in a single frequency network (SFN). The UE may receive one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states corresponding to one or more downlink resources, receive a demodulated reference signal (DMRS) wherein the DMRS is quasi co-located (QCLed) with one or more channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) from multiple cells of a SFN and quasi co-location (QCL) information is included in the one or more TCI and determine a time and frequency offset corresponding to each of the multiple cells based on the CSI-RS.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for signaling in cast-type indication for a wireless communication system may include receiving, at a first user equipment (UE), a first stage sidelink control information (SCI) format from a second UE, decoding the first stage SCI format, determining a second stage SCI format using the decoded first stage SCI format, decoding the second stage SCI format, and determining a sidelink feedback status using the second stage SCI format. The sidelink feedback status may indicate whether sidelink feedback is enabled or not enabled. Second stage SCI content may include a distance setting associated with a communication range between the first UE and the second UE.
