Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing vehicle-to-everything (V2X) sidelink communications with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback include using a new long physical sidelink feedback channel (PFSCH) format, i.e., PFSCH format 1, to assign feedback resources for various sidelink communication networks and environments where the existing or legacy sidelink feedback format, i.e., the short PFSCH format, referred to herein as PFSCH format 0, is insufficient to support effective acknowledgements (ACKs) and non-acknowledgements (NACKs) due to the limited nature of the format design.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing radio resource control procedures for remote wireless devices in a wireless communication system. A remote wireless device may transmit a radio resource control message that includes information configured to be relayed to a cellular base station to a relay wireless device, which may relay the information to the cellular base station. The cellular base station may also transmit a radio resource control message that includes information configured to be relayed to the remote wireless device to the relay wireless device, which may relay the information to the remote wireless device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for providing paging for a remote wireless device to a relay wireless device in a wireless communication system. A cellular base station may receive an indication from a relay wireless device of a relay link between the relay wireless device and a remote wireless device. The cellular base station may provide paging information for the remote wireless device to the relay wireless device based at least in part on the indication of the relay link between the relay wireless device and the remote wireless device.

Abstract: Improved solutions for reliable physical channel, e.g. Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) reception during wireless communications, for example during 3GPP New Radio (NR) communications include continuous channel repetitions that cross slot boundaries, channel repetitions with multiple frequency hops, and joint-repetition channel estimation that uses demodulation reference signals from at least two channel repetitions for the channel estimation. In one aspect, reliable PDSCH reception may have the benefit of aiding target UEs and serving base stations in implementing reliable Multicast and Broadcast Services (MBS).

Abstract: This disclosure relates to providing early packet delivery to radio link control. A transport block may be received by a wireless device via wireless communication. The transport block may fail a transport block cyclic redundancy check, but a subset of the code blocks of the transport block may pass code block cyclic redundancy checks. Packet data from the subset of the code blocks that pass code block cyclic redundancy checks may be provided to a radio link control layer of the wireless device, based at least in part on the successful code block cyclic redundancy checks for those code blocks.

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: A user equipment (UE) communicates with transmission-reception points (TRPs). When the UE generates uplink control information (UCI), it determines a higher layer index (HLI) value to target the UCI to the appropriate TRP. (Possible values of the HLI are associated with the TRPs.) For UCI on Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), the HLI value may be determined: based on an HLI value configured for a control resource set (CORESET), or for particular Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources; based on UCI type or spatial relation data or an index related to PUCCH resources. For UCI on a configured-grant Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the HLI value may be based on higher layer signals or an indicator relating to channel sounding on spatial relation data. For UCI on MsgA PUSCH in a two-step random access procedure, the HLI value may be based on PUSCH resource unit or PUSCH opportunity.

Abstract: A base station may configure a user equipment (UE) to perform sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions using an SRS resource set. The SRS resource set may be configured for two or more functions, e.g., functions such as codebook-based SRS transmission, non-codebook-based SRS transmission, antenna port switching, beam management, etc. By enabling the use of such dual function (or multi-function) SRS resource sets, the average data rate associated with configuration transmissions to the UE may be reduced.
