Abstract: Apparatus and methods for implementing “intelligent” receive diversity management in e.g., a mobile device. In one implementation, the mobile device includes an LTE-enabled UE, and the intelligent diversity management includes selectively disabling receive diversity (RxD) in that device upon meeting a plurality of criteria including (i) a capacity criterion, and (ii) a connectivity criterion. In one variant, the capacity criterion includes ensuring that an achievable data rate associated with a single Rx (receive) chain is comparable to that with RxD.

Abstract: A wireless communication device (UE) may provide information pertaining to one or more operating capabilities of the UE to LTE and 5G-NR networks. The UE may transmit information to an LTE base station directly, and to a 5G-NR base station directly, or indirectly via the LTE base station. The information may include preferred values corresponding to any number of different operating parameters associated with wireless communications or wireless communication capabilities of the UE in both LTE and 5G-NR networks, informing and/or requesting the LTE and 5G-NR networks to make provisions based on the transmitted information for the wireless communications of the UE on those networks. The UE may thereby provide assistance information to LTE and 5G-NR networks in a multi-radio-access-technology dual-connectivity setting to request the respective networks to adjust certain operating capabilities of the UE in order to alleviate one or more operating issues that may be affecting the UE.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for downlink control information between an electronic device (for example, a UE) and a network for cell detection and measurement. For example, some aspects relate to an electronic device including a transceiver and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor monitors one or more paging occasions within a discontinuous repetition cycle (DRX) and can make a determination of one or more paging occasions within the DRX to not monitor. Each paging occasion may include a transmission by the network of downlink control information for one or more paging messages.

Abstract: Methods to enhance the coverage of NR systems for coverage-limited wireless devices are disclosed. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, information indicating that a coverage enhancement mode is supported. The UE may determine whether to enter the coverage enhancement mode based on a downlink signal synchronization block (DL SSB). In response to determining to enter the coverage enhancement mode, the UE may transmit a reserved preamble to the base station to initiate random access for the coverage enhancement mode.

Abstract: A base station and wireless communication (UE) may perform type II CSI-RS port selection based at least on partial reciprocity between an uplink path and a downlink path between the base station and the UE. The base station may identify dominant signal paths between the base station and the UE, based on measurements performed during uplink transmissions, and may transmit, to the UE, corresponding information indicative of CSI measurement and reporting configuration that may include a single measurement resource or multiple measurement resources. Each measurement resource may include multiple-port CSI-RS ports. The UE may indicate, to the base station, selection of a measurement resource when multiple measurement resources are configured, and may also report layer independent or layer common selection of a subset of CSI-RS ports included in the indicated single measurement resource or multiple measurement resources. Further enhancements include frequency domain compression enhancement and dynamic codebook parameter reconfiguration.

Abstract: A user equipment device may determine whether to power down one or more components based at least on a scheduling parameter that includes an indication of cross-slot scheduling. The device may power down the one or more components prior to decoding control information during a slot for which the scheduling parameter indicates that cross-slot scheduling is in place.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for performing sidelink communication. In one example, a user equipment (UE), includes a memory and one or more processors configured to, when executing instructions stored in the memory, cause the UE to determine a SCI stage 2 scrambling initialization value (Cinit) based on at least a portion of a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code and a resource pool constant NCONST_RP, wherein NCONST_RP is configured for a resource pool allocated for sidelink communication by the UE; generate a scrambling sequence based on the SCI stage 2 Cinit; and transmit a SCI stage 2 to the second UE based on the scrambling sequence.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for user equipment device (UE) uplink antenna panel selection. The UE may determine, based on at least one condition, to perform a beam switch from a current beam being used for communications with a base station. The UE may transmit, to the base station, an indication of an antenna panel status that may include an indication of a latency associated with the beam switch. The UE may receive, from the base station, an indication to switch to a target beam and to perform the switch, based on the indication, to the target beam. The indication of the antenna panel status may include a beam switching latency level for each beam in a beam report, a beam switch request that may indicate the target beam, and/or a beam switch request that may indicate that an antenna panel switch is to be applied by the UE.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for dynamically adjusting a number of active receiver chains of a wireless device. Based on communication parameters exchanged with a base station, a device may determine a maximum number of receiver chains needed for data reception during one or more time periods. Such dynamic adjustment may enable power savings.
