    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for initial access in the multi-beam operation. In one novel aspect, the UE receives multiple response messages and selects one message as the response message. In one embodiment, the UE selects a subset of a configured UL resources, transmits a first message, wherein the first message is transmitted one or more times on each of the selected set of UL resources, receives one or more first-message-response messages from the BS, and selects one response message, wherein the selected response message indicates a corresponding BS RX resource, which is used by the UE for subsequent communication with the BS. In one embodiment, the selection of UL resources is at least based on transmitting spatial characteristics of the BS, the UE or both, which indicates whether the BS/UE is reciprocal, partial reciprocal or non-reciprocal.

    Abstract: A method of beam reciprocity state reporting and uplink beam management in wireless communication systems with beamforming is proposed. In one novel aspect, a BS configures one or more resource sets to a UE for uplink beam management. The one or more resource sets are allocated for UE to transmit UL reference signals using a number of UE beams. The number of UE beams to be trained is reported by the UE, e.g., via a “UE beam reciprocity state (update)” message. The BS also indicates whether a fixed UE TX beam or which UE TX beam is used for transmission, or indicates whether different UE TX beams are used for transmission of different resources in a resource set. The BS then feedback measurement results for UE to choose a proper TX beam.

    Abstract: A method of default Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption for Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) reception in NR network is proposed. When PDSCH is scheduled by a DCI over PDCCH after a Scheduling Offset, the spatial RX filter for the PDSCH reception can be determined according to a QCL indication conveyed by the DCI. When the Scheduling Offset for PDSCH reception scheduled by DCI is less than a time duration, then a default QCL assumption is applied. UE assumes that the DMRS ports of PDSCH of a serving cell are QCLed with the RS(s) with respect to QCL parameter(s) used for PDCCH QCL indication of a CORESET. The CORESET is associated with a UE-monitored search space in the latest slot with the lowest CORESET-IF on an active BWP on the serving cell.

    Abstract: A method of group-based beam reporting is proposed. The BS TX beams are grouped into groups to increase beam reporting efficiency. After measuring reference signals for beam management, UE reports RS quality to the network in beam groups. The beam grouping can be done either implicitly or explicitly. The grouping within the beam report is done by the UE with or without help from the network. According to principles of grouping mechanism, the grouping methods can be divided into two different categories. A first category is referred to as beam set based group, where UE groups TX beam information in a beam report based on its RX beam set(s). A second category is referred to as antenna group-based grouping, where UE groups TX beam information in a beam report based on UE antenna group.

    Abstract: A UE determines (a) resources of a PDCCH indicating a PDSCH that contains a random access message or indicating an uplink grant for transmitting a random access message and (b) resources of a second PDCCH. The UE further determines, in a time domain, (a) that the first PDCCH overlaps with the second PDCCH, (b) that the first PDCCH overlaps with a second PDSCH that contains system data or user data and indicated by the second PDCCH, (c) that the first PDSCH overlaps with the second PDCCH, or (d) that the first PDSCH overlaps with the second PDSCH. The UE then determines that monitoring the second PDCCH is an unexpected operation.
