Improved techniques of managing measurement gaps for MPUEs include identifying an idle time for the UE in a coordinated and network-controlled manner during which the UE is able to perform SSB/CSI-RS based measurements for a serving cell using non-serving panels. Such idle time is defined as an omitted operation time (i.e., an idle time of a certain pre-defined length) in which the network has to apply the scheduling restrictions in the SSBs' symbols to the UE. Note that currently as per the RAN4 requirements, the network must apply scheduling restrictions in all SSB symbols for all UEs in FR2 at any time (i.e., worst case scenario).

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. Aspects described herein provide techniques and apparatuses associated with synchronizing a preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) release counter between a base station and a user equipment (UE). For example, the synchronization may be performed in connection with the UE entering a connected mode, the base station reconfiguring a PUR, and/or the like. By synchronizing the PUR release counter, misalignment of the PUR release counter between the UE and the base station may be reduced or eliminated. Reducing the misalignment of the PUR release counter reduces the occurrence of a premature release of a PUR, thus reducing UE interference and improving the likelihood of success of the UE's transmission.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.

Aspects relate to mechanisms for a wireless communication device to configure and indicate one or more beams for sidelink communication with another wireless communication device. The sidelink communication can include first stage sidelink control information (SCI) and second stage SCI that may be communicated on a first beam configured on the wireless communication devices. The sidelink communication can further include sidelink data traffic that may be communication on a second beam. The second beam may be the first beam or a different beam based on at least one of a beam capability of at least the first wireless communication device or a gap between the sidelink data traffic and at least one of the first stage SCI or the second stage SCI.

A user equipment that includes a radio transceiver that performs wireless communication in an unlicensed band, and circuitry that performs RLM using downlink physical signals, measures a radio link quality, evaluates the radio link quality against thresholds Qout and Qin, indicates out-of-sync to higher layers from a physical layer, indicates in-sync to the higher layers from the physical layer, starts a first timer when the out-of-sync is consecutively indicated to the higher layers from the physical layer, and determines that a radio link failure occurs in a case where the first timer expires without consecutive in-sync indications, and the first timer is different from a second timer used to determine whether a radio link failure occurs in a wireless communication in one or more serving cells in a licensed band.

An example device comprising: a processor to detect a time difference between a first system clock of an access point (AP) and a second system clock of a controller; determine whether the AP has abnormal dock based on the time difference; and automatically recover the first system clock of the AP when the AP has abnormal clock.

A method performed by a terminal in a communication system is provided. The method includes identifying a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and a second PDSCH without a corresponding PDCCH; identifying that the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH are overlapped in time; and decoding the first PDSCH on a basis that the PDCCH scheduling the first PDSCH ends at least 14 symbols before the starting symbol of the second PDSCH.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for rate matching of synchronization signal block (SSB) transmissions in non-terrestrial networks (NTNs). A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving configuration information indicating a beam-specific rate matching pattern for at least one beam of a plurality of beams configured for the UE, wherein a SSB transmission corresponding to each of the plurality of beams is configured using the same set of frequencies, receiving a data channel using the at least one beam, and processing the data channel based on the rate matching pattern.

A method by a wireless device is provided for optimized reconfiguration of radio link monitoring (RLM) and beam monitoring. The method includes receiving, from a first network node, a first message comprising at least one RLM parameter. A second message indicating activation of the at least one RLM parameter associated with the first message is received. The second message is a lower layer signal compared to the first message.

A configuration resource automatically synchronizes configuration settings associated with one or more communication resources disposed in a respective subscriber domain. For example, a communication resource such as communication device operated by the subscriber initiates a change to configuration settings associated with a first communication resource disposed in a subscriber domain. The first communication resource notifies the auto-configuration resource of the new configuration settings applied to the first communication resource. The auto-configuration resource identifies one or more other communication resources disposed in the subscriber domain. To ensure synchronization of the communication resources in the subscriber domain, in response to receiving notification of the new configuration settings applied to at least one communication resource and the subscriber domain, the auto-configuration resource initiates modification of configuration settings associated with the one or more other communication resources in the subscriber domain.
