Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to report channel state information (CSI) to a base station of a network. The UE receives configuration information from the base station including one or more interference measurement resources (IMRs) to be measured by the UE, determines a noise power for each of the IMRs, transmits a reference channel state information (CSI) report the base station, measures CSI reference signals (CSI RS) transmitted by the base station to determine an interference and noise power for each of the one or more IMRs and transmits a new CSI report including one of i) only interference and noise power fluctuation feedback or ii) multiple signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) or SINR statistics to the base station.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) in a multiple transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) configuration having simultaneous connections with a first next generation node B (gNB) and at least one second gNB over a same carrier. The UE divides uplink (UL) resources into a plurality of groups, determines a spatial relation and a pathloss reference signal (RS) for each one of the plurality of groups based on a transmission configuration indication (TCI) indicating a quasi-co-location (QCL) source RS for a downlink channel and transmits UL data on the UL resources corresponding to each one of the plurality of groups to a respective one of the first gNB or the at least one second gNB.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) reports beam management information to a network. The UE receives a first group of multiple reference signals from a first transmission reception point (TRP) of a network, receives a second group of multiple reference signals from a second different TRP of the network, selects a first beam associated with one of the multiple reference signals of the first group, selects a second beam associated with one of the multiple reference signals of the second group and transmits a message to the network, the message including an indication of the selected first beam and second beam.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for selecting a spatial relation for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission by a user equipment (UE) operating in a multi-transmission reception point (TRP) multi-antenna panel environment. For example, the UE prepares a PUSCH transmission intended for a first TRP of a plurality of TRPs available to the UE in the wireless network, and determines a first antenna port group of a plurality of antenna port groups of the UE that is more directionally aligned with the first TRP than other antenna port groups of the plurality of antenna port groups. The UE further transmits the PUSCH transmission to the first TRP via the first antenna port group using a default spatial relation used for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) communication with the first TRP via the first antenna port group.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for uplink panel selection with power saving. In some embodiments, user equipment (UE) may experience a positional change. In response, the UE may deactivate a first communication panel to save power and activate a second communication panel. The UE may then transmit a status message to a communication node indicating the activation and/or deactivation. The node may then register this activation and/or deactivation. In some embodiments, the node may monitor uplink slots from the first and second communication panel to identify the activation and deactivation. For example, if the node detects an absence of an uplink signal within a slot threshold, the node may identify the panel as being deactivated. The node may establishing communications with another panel based on a detected signal and/or the status message.

Abstract: One or more computer-readable media (CRM) are disclosed. The CRM include instructions to, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of a base station, cause the base station to: generate a phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) for phase shift compensation; and transmit the PT-RS across a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) using a single-carrier based waveform comprising a carrier frequency. The single-carrier based waveform may be SC-FDE or DFT-s-OFDM.
