Techniques for measuring and reducing signal misalignment in a dual connectivity environment are discussed herein. When using Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA), a device initially communicates with a network using a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) connection. After the LTE connection is established, an LTE base station may instruct the device to measure signal strength of a neighboring New Radio (NR) cell during a specified LTE measurement gap. When the NR cell is implemented by an indoor NR base station, the NR signal may not be sufficiently synchronized with the LTE signal and the device may be unable to measure the NR signal during the measurement gap. In these cases, the device can determine the frame timing difference between the LTE and NR signals, obtain an adjusted measurement gap that reduces any measurement gap misalignment, and attempt to measure the signal strength of the NR cell using the adjusted measurement gap.

Systems, methods and devices for reducing power consumption for reduced capability UEs can include using a dedicated common control resource set (CORESET) to reduce RF retuning in idle mode. The systems, methods and devices may include using the dedicated common CORESET and a dedicated initial downlink bandwidth part (DL BWP) to reduce RF retuning for reduced capability UEs. The systems, methods and devices may include using dedicated initial DL BWP to reduce RF retuning for reduced capability UEs. The systems, methods and devices include using simplified synchronization signal block (SSB) in DL BWP to reduce RF tuning by reduced capability UEs. The systems, methods and devices may include employing an indication in downlink control information (DCI) of whether the scheduled physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is for reduced capability UEs to avoid unnecessary PDSCH decoding.

A user equipment (UE) having a first capability associated with a lower maximum UE bandwidth than a second capability performs at least a part of initial access based on an initial downlink bandwidth part (BWP) that is shared among UEs having the first capability and UEs having the second capability. The UE switches, after the initial access, to an active downlink BWP and an active uplink BWP that are dedicated for the UEs having the first capability to perform random access, paging, system acquisition, measurement and data communication procedures.

A first user equipment (UE) determines system parameter information to initiate a sidelink communication. The first UE transmits, in one or more first subbands of a plurality of subbands within a shared radio frequency during a first time period, the system parameter information.
