    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform a method for supporting a periodical radio access network (RAN) notification area (RNA) mechanism when small data transmission (SDT) is enabled for a user equipment device (UE). The method may include the UE receiving, from a base station, an indication enabling an SDT procedure along with an indication of an RNA timer configuration, transitioning, to a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, and initiating an RNA timer based on the RNA timer configuration. The UE may, upon initiation of the SDT procedure, stop the RNA timer and, upon termination of the SDT procedure, start the RNA timer. During the SDT procedure, the UE may receive any of an SDT termination indication, an SDT subsequent transmission indication, or an SDT subsequent transmission termination indication that may include an updated RNA timer configuration (and/or RNA timer reconfiguration).

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. To monitor a PDCCH for CA, a UE may receive PDCCH candidates in a plurality of configured component carriers (CCs). In response to a determination that a maximum number of virtual CCs that the UE is capable of monitoring for PDCCH is smaller than a number of the plurality of configured CCs, the UE groups the plurality of configured CCs into CC groups based at least in part on SCS numerologies and PDCCH monitoring configurations corresponding to span patterns within a slot of a DL subframe. The UE determines a maximum number of blind decoding operations and non-overlapped CCEs for each of the CC groups. The UE then monitors at least a first portion of the PDCCH candidates based on the maximum number of blind decoding operations and non-overlapped CCEs for each of the CC groups.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for hybrid measurement gap operation. A network-side device may provide a hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration to a wireless device, the hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration scheduling measurement operation of the wireless device in accordance with hybrid measurement gap patterns. The wireless device may receive the hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration, and thus perform measurement operation based on the hybrid measurement gap patterns as scheduled.
