Abstract: Indicating repetitions at a UE in an NTN includes decoding a communication indicating a timing relationship value associated with a distance between a serving satellite and a farthest UE in the NTN. A PRACH communication is encoded for transmission. The PRACH communication includes an indication of a number of PRACH repetitions determined based on the timing relationship value. A RAR including an uplink (UL) grant corresponding to the UE and an indication of a number of RAR repetitions is decoded. The number of RAR repetitions is determined based on the timing relationship value. A PUSCH communication including an indication of a number of PUSCH repetitions is encoded. The number of PUSCH repetitions is determined based on the timing relationship value. A content resolution communication including an indication of a number of content resolution repetitions is decoded. The number of content resolution repetitions is determined based on the timing relationship value.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for reducing latency in a high-propagation-delay wireless communication system. A base station (BS) may receive from a user equipment (UE) a first buffer status report (BSR) indicating an amount of uplink data buffered by the UE for transmission to the BS, and may subsequently receive a first BSR update message indicating that an additional amount of uplink data has been buffered by the UE subsequent to transmission of the first BSR. The first BSR update message may be received prior to expiration of a timer authorizing transmission of a second BSR following the first BSR. In response, the BS may allocate resources for transmission to the UE, based on the first BSR and the first BSR update message. The BS may provide an uplink grant identifying the allocated resources.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using a relay user equipment (UE) to transport data of interest received from a first remote UE to a second remote UE on a UE to UE relay within a wireless communication system are discussed herein. These methods may be performed at Layer 2 of a protocol stack of the wireless communication system. Data packets sent on the UE to UE relay may include an adaptation header including routing information (e.g., Layer 2 addresses, a bearer-specific index, etc.) for the UE to UE relay. An adaptation layer may accordingly be provided within Layer 2 to decode these adaptation headers. In some cases, a per-bearer approach may be used to map between individual direct bearers of a hop by hop path configuration of the UE to UE relay. Embodiments eschewing the adaptation header and instead using logical channel identifiers (LCIDs) to make routing indications are also described.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for exchanging a searcher number between an electronic device (for example, a UE) and a network for cell detection and measurement. For example, some embodiments relate to an electronic device including a transceiver and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor determines a searcher number associated with the electronic device. The searcher number is greater than two. The processor further transmits, using the transceiver, a signal to the network, where the signal includes an indication of the searcher number.

Abstract: Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE). The method comprises acquiring a downlink control information (DCI) configured for multiple-physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduling; determining, based on the number of PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI, whether a codebook group (CBG)-based operation is enabled for the scheduled PDSCHs; and determining, based on the number of PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI, a format of the DCI.

Abstract: In an example method, a user equipment (UE) device determines one or more component carriers available to the UE device for at least one of transmitting or receiving data over a wireless network. The UE device transmits, to the wireless network, for each component carrier, an indication whether the component carrier supports at least one of transmitting or receiving data according to a multi-transmission and receiving points (multi-TRP) communication protocol.

Abstract: A cellular base station (BS) which determines an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) triggering offset configuration specifying an offset between an aperiodic SRS trigger received by a user equipment (UE) and transmission of the SRS by the UE. The cellular base station may determine that the SRS triggering offset should be adjusted. In response, the cellular base station may transmit signaling to the UE specifying a new value for the aperiodic SRS triggering offset. The new SRS triggering offset value may be partly based on a minimum timing offset for the UE and may be contained in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) or in downlink control information (DCI). Additionally, the new triggering offset value may be applicable for a plurality of component carriers or bandwidth parts. The cellular base station may also determine a new triggering offset value due to conflicts regarding the AP-SRS transmission.
