    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: receiving downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission to be transmitted by a first antenna panel of the UE, and a second PUSCH transmission to be transmitted by a second antenna panel of the UE, receiving data indicative of at least two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, the at least two TCI states including a first TCI state indicating a beam of the first antenna panel for transmission of the first PUSCH transmission, and a second TCI state indicating a beam of the second antenna panel for transmission of the second PUSCH transmission, and transmitting the first PUSCH transmission using the beam of the first antenna panel and the second PUSCH transmission using the beam of the second antenna panel.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing downlink signal reception with antenna panel switching in a wireless communication system. A cellular base station may receive an indication of an antenna panel activation delay from a wireless device. The cellular base station may select a scheduling offset for a transmission to the wireless device based at least in part on the antenna panel activation delay. The scheduling offset may be selected to be at least the length of the antenna panel activation delay if it is expected that the wireless device may perform antenna panel activation to receive the transmission. The cellular base station may schedule the transmission to the wireless device using the selected scheduling offset, and may perform the transmission to the wireless device at the selected scheduling offset after scheduling the transmission to the wireless device.

    Abstract: Inter-cell mobility may include decoding a first radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message received from a first cell. The first RRC reconfiguration message may comprise a first portion of configuration information for performing a cell change to a second cell. A cell change message received from the first cell may be decoded. The cell change message may indicate that a cell change to the second cell is to be performed. A cell change acknowledgment may be encoded for transmission to the second cell. A second RRC reconfiguration message received from the second cell may be decoded. The second RRC reconfiguration message may comprise a second portion of configuration information for performing the cell change to the second cell. The second portion of configuration information may comprise a remaining portion of configuration information to perform the cell change to the second cell.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device including an antenna, a memory, a RF circuitry commutatively coupled to the antenna, and a processor configured to perform operations is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the operations include receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) release message from a base station, wherein the RRC release message comprises a suspend configuration to transition the UE to an RRC_INACTIVE state. In addition, the operations include entering the RRC_INACTIVE state. The operations include performing, while the UE is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, an initial data transmission without transitioning from the RRC_INACTIVE state to a RRC_CONNECTED state. Additionally, the operations include monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for a UE dedicated scheduling for a transmission or reception of a subsequent data during an active period, while the UE is in the RRC INACTIVE state. Further, the operations include performing the transmission or reception of the subsequent data based on the monitoring of the PDCCH.

    Abstract: A method for wireless communication includes: scheduling, by a wireless station, a first uplink (UL) transmission from a wireless device; determining, by the wireless station, a need for a higher priority uplink transmission that uses resources overlapping with the first UL transmission; determining, by the wireless station, a reference region, within which a UL cancellation indication (CI) is to be applied; determining, by the wireless station, a set of UL resources in the reference region for cancellation, wherein at least a subset of the UL resources in the reference region are interlaced; sending, via a downlink control channel, indication of the determined set of UL resources for cancellation (e.g., by indicating particular interlaces and/or particular Physical Resource Blocks within such interlaces that are to be canceled); and receiving, at the wireless station, the higher priority uplink transmission via at least a subset of the determined set of cancelled UL resources.
