Abstract: A method, UE and integrated circuit for reporting RSTD values to a network. A user equipment (UE) is configured to establish a connection to a network, the network comprising a first cell and a second cell. The UE receives a positioning reference signal from each of the first and second cells, determines a frequency band for each of the positioning reference signals, determines reference signal time difference (RSTD) values from measured time offsets between the positioning reference signals from the first and second cells, determines RSTD reporting values based on at least the RSTD values and the determined frequency bands and transmits an indication of the RSTD reporting values to the network.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in multiple component carriers (CC). The UE determines if the UE is operating in carrier aggregation (CA) mode having a first CC in a first frequency band and a second CC in a second frequency band. When the UE is operating in CA with a first CC in the first frequency band and the second CC in the second frequency band, the UE determines a span pattern for PDCCH symbols being received on the first and second CC and selects a PDCCH monitoring type based on, at least, the span pattern. A UE also determines if a first CC and a second CC of a CA combination are collocated and selects a PDCCH monitoring type based on, at least, the determination of whether the first and second CC are collocated.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to uplink (UL) gap triggering. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a processor of user equipment is configured to perform following operations. The operations comprise transmitting to a network a user preference via a first signaling, wherein the user preference indicates a preference of the UE in uplink (UL) gap configuration; transmitting to the network an UL gap activation request via a second signaling, wherein the UL gap activation request indicates the network that an UL gap activation for the UE is needed; and transmitting to the network device an UL gap deactivation request via a third signaling, wherein the UL gap deactivation request indicates the network that an UL gap deactivation for the UE is needed.
