The present application relates to scheduling SSB measurements on SSB beams. In an example, a base station can transmit SSBs on SSB beams that form a serving cell. Depending on an SSB measurement on one of the SSB beams, a UE can schedule an additional SSB measurement on this SSB beam only or schedule SSB measurements on the different SSB beams.

A new beam identification method is proposed. The UE determines whether a quality of at least one NBI-RS resource associated with a serving Transmission and Reception Point (TRP)is larger than or equal to a first threshold. The UE determines whether a quality of at least one NBI-RS resource associated with at least one candidate TRP is larger than or equal to a second threshold. The UE selects a new beam for a recovery procedure based on determining results associated with the serving TRP and the at least one candidate TRP.

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer programs for reference signal measurement reporting by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communications system. In one aspect, the method can include actions of measuring a reference signal received power (RSRP) value for each of a plurality of synchronization signal block (SSB) beams from a base station, determining that a greatest RSRP value of the measured RSRP values is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold, responsive to the determination, calculating, based at least in part on the measured RSRP values and a horizontal/vertical (H/V) polarization imbalance for each of the plurality of SSB beams, a ranking of the plurality of SSB beams, and reporting at least one of the ranked plurality of SSB beams to the base station.

Ranging and timing may be provided. A station may send an action frame. The action frame may include an Identifier (ID) associated with an upcoming Timing Measurement (TM)/Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) session. The action frame may indicate a purpose of the upcoming TM/FTM session. Next, the station may send, subsequent to sending the action frame, a TM/FTM session request associated with the action frame. The station may then perform the purpose indicated by the action frame.

There is disclosed a method of operating an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node (200, C, N3) in a wireless communication network, the method comprising determining a measurement result pertaining to synchronisation signaling received by the IAB node from a second IAB node according to a reception pattern, wherein the measurement result is based on weights associated to the reception pattern. The disclosure also pertains to related methods and devices.

A method of reporting channel state information by first user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station, channel measurement resource (CMR) configuration information, receiving, from at least one second UE, uplink interference measurement resource (UL IMR) configuration information for measurement of cross link interference (CLI) between the at least one second UE and the first UE, measuring one or more signal to interference pulse noise ratio (SINR) based on at least one downlink reference signal (DL RS) received on CMR identified from the CMR configuration information and at least one uplink reference signal (UL RS) received on UL IMR identified from the UL IMR configuration information; and transmitting, to the base station, information about the measured one or more SINR.

The disclosure provides a user equipment (UE) and method thereof. The method including identifying a position of a first symbol in which a synchronization signal block is transmitted through cell specific configuration information based on at least one of system information block (SIB) information or higher layer signaling; determining whether a second symbol of an uplink channel configured based on at least one of the higher layer signaling or downlink control information overlaps with the first symbol in which the synchronization signal block is transmitted; transmitting the synchronization signal block without transmitting the uplink channel in response to the determination that the second symbol of the uplink channel does not overlap with the first symbol in which the synchronization signal block is transmitted; and determining whether to transmit the uplink channel according to a predetermined condition in response to the determination that the second symbol of the uplink channel overlaps with the first symbol in which the synchronization signal block is transmitted.

A unified solution to support all PCell, SCell, and per-TRP based beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure is proposed, with less standard impact and reduced latency. In a first novel aspect, a set of reference signals (RSs) for BFD is configured for each BWP of a serving cell, and a maximum number of BFD RSs (N) per TRP for each BWP of a serving cell is configured. In a second novel aspect, for single DCI multi-TRP, the BFD RSs can be updated via MAC CE to reduce latency. In a third novel aspect, new RRC parameters for BFD RSs and candidate beam RSs are configured, with different sets of SSB/CSI-RS resources associated to each TRP. Specifically, an additional lists of SSB/CSI-RS resource set is defined for each corresponding TRP.

There is provided an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) that includes a fronthaul interface over which an O-RAN Distributed Unit (O-DU) and an O-RAN Radio Unit (O-RU) communicate with one another and exchange O-RAN standard defined user-plane (U-plane) packets and control-place (C-Plane) packets. The fronthaul interface carries control and management information via management-plane (M-Plane) message exchange, and timing synchronization is achieved in accordance with synchronization-plane (S-Plane) procedures, and the O-RAN accommodates communications via 2G and 3G based mobile networks.
