Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for quasi co-location (QCL) reference signals for uplink transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. An example method generally includes receiving uplink transmission configuration indicator (TCI) indicating one or more quasi co-location (QCL) types, from a plurality of uplink QCL types, for one or more source reference signals (RSs); and sending an uplink transmission in accordance with the uplink TCI.

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.

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.

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.

A method and apparatus of a user equipment (UE) are provided. The method and apparatus comprise: identifying spatial parameters for a synchronization signals/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block and a downlink (DL) signal, wherein the spatial parameters are commonly used for receiving the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal; receiving the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal, wherein the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal are time division multiplexed in a same slot; and determining information from the DL signal.
