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: This disclosure relates to techniques for supporting cell set based mobility. A network may provide configuration information to a wireless device, relating to a current cell and possibly to one or more other cells in one or more cell sets. The wireless device and network may take various measurements. In response to the measurements and the configuration information, the wireless device may perform a cell change to one of the other cells.

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: Improved solutions for reliable physical channel, e.g. Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) reception during wireless communications, for example during 3GPP New Radio (NR) communications include continuous channel repetitions that cross slot boundaries, channel repetitions with multiple frequency hops, and joint-repetition channel estimation that uses demodulation reference signals from at least two channel repetitions for the channel estimation. In one aspect, reliable PDSCH reception may have the benefit of aiding target UEs and serving base stations in implementing reliable Multicast and Broadcast Services (MBS).

Abstract: A UE may coordinate the use of a low Power Wake-Up Radio (LR) and a main radio (MR) to determine a Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement. The UE may enter a deep sleep state by turning off a MR and turning on a LR. The UE may measure the serving cell quality when in the deep sleep state, and enter a normal state by turning on the MR, when the serving cell quality is less than a threshold. The UE may perform a neighbor cell measurement, when in the normal state when a serving cell measurement meets a criteria.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for reporting a playback stall expectation in a wireless communication system. A wireless link may be established between a wireless device and a cellular base station. The wireless device may receive an indication of a playback stall expectation event from an application executing on the wireless device. The wireless device may transmit information indicating the playback stall expectation event to the cellular base station.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for enhancement of MBMS transmission reliability. A UE may receive PDCP PDUs via a PTM link from a network. The UE may determine to provide feedback regarding receipt of the PDCP PDUs, e.g., based, at least in part, on an occurrence of a triggering event. The triggering event may be configured by the network and may include the UE receiving a request for feedback from the network, the UE determining that at least one PDCP PDU is missing, the UE determining that a number of missing PDCP PDUs exceeds a threshold, and/or the UE determining that a PDCP reordering window is changing based on expiration of a PDCP reordering timer. The UE may transmit feedback associated with receipt of the PDCP PDUs. The feedback may include an indication of missing PDCP PDUs, e.g., such as an indication of a sequence number associated with missing PDCP PDUs.

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.
