    Abstract: In an embodiment, a base station determines a spatial relationship for a group of PUCCH resources, and transmits a control message that indicates the spatial relationship to a UE. The UE receives the control message and stores an indication of the spatial relationship. In some designs, the control message conveying the spatial relationship identifies the group of PUCCH resources via the PUCCH group index, while in other designs a different identification mechanism may be used. In another embodiment, a base station determines an association between a group of PUCCH resources and a PUCCH group index, and transmits a control message that indicates the association to a UE. The UE receives the control message and stores an indication of the association.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are regarding configuring an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node of an IAB network to handle forwarding of packets from another device as well as packets originating in the IAB network at the IAB-node. An example method includes retrieving, by a Backhaul Adaptation Protocol (BAP) layer of the IAB-node, a packet from an upper layer or a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer of the IAB-node. The method also includes determining an egress RLC channel of an egress backhaul (BH) link with a second device for transmitting the first packet based on a first configuration in response to retrieving the first packet from the RLC layer or a second configuration in response to retrieving the first packet from the upper layer. The method also includes transmitting the first packet to the second device via the egress RLC channel of the egress BH.

    Abstract: Aspects relate to a physical cell identifier (PCI) change within a wireless network based on a primary synchronization signal (PSS) waveform. A scheduling entity, such as an integrated-access-backhaul (IAB) node within a radio access network (RAN), may communicate with a set of one or more scheduled entities, such as other IAB nodes and/or user equipment (UEs), utilizing a first PCI. The scheduling entity may then change from the first PCI to a second PCI, where the second PCI corresponds to a different PSS waveform than the first PCI. In some examples, the scheduling entity may change the PCI as a result of a PCI collision and/or PSS collision with a neighboring scheduling entity.
