Disclosed are methods, systems and devices for channel state information feedback to facilitate, for example, high-performance beamforming or precoding in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. One example method includes performing multiple transmissions of a channel measurement report on multiple transmission occasions. Another example method includes performing multiple receptions of a channel measurement report on multiple reception occasions, where the multiple receptions at a network node correspond to multiple transmissions from a wireless device. In both exemplary methods, a timing of the multiple transmissions is based on at least one of a number of the multiple transmission occasions, a time gap between adjacent transmission occasions of the multiple transmission occasions, and one or more timeslots that include the multiple transmission occasions.

According to certain embodiments, a method in a network node (100A) for determining spectrum utilization for a plurality of numerologies transmitted within an allocated bandwidth includes selecting one or more of the plurality of numerologies. For each of the one or more selected numerologies, a spectrum utilization is determined. The spectrum utilization is based on the spectrum utilization that would be achieved if the selected numerology was transmitted across the allocated bandwidth. A physical resource block (PRB) allocation is calculated based on the allocated bandwidth and the spectrum utilization.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) soft combining for a subset of HARQ processes supported by a user equipment (UE). A method performed by the UE generally includes transmitting capability information indicating a capability of the UE to perform hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) soft combining and receiving, based on the capability information, configuration information from the BS configuring the UE to perform soft combining on only a subset of a set of HARQ processes.

A method for admission control including transmitting a first admission request to a distributed unit of the IAB donor, wherein the first admission request includes information about a resource set to be established for a terminal device; receiving a first admission response from the distributed unit indicating whether one or more resources in the resource set are to be accepted; transmitting a second admission request to each of at least one IAB node including information about the resource set; receiving a second admission response from each of the at least one IAB node indicating whether one or more resources in the resource set are to be accepted; and in response to determining that at least one resource in the resource set is to be accepted, transmitting to an IAB node serving the terminal device a request for establishing a context of the terminal device including information about the resource.

A method for WTRU autonomous resource selection may comprise receiving a TX resource pool for D2D communication from a base station. The WTRU may sense one or more resources of the TX resource pool and determine resources for transmission of control information and D2D data, based on the sensing. The WTRU may then transmit, to another WTRU, the control information and the D2D data on the determined resources.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for dynamic reclamation of resources reserved for forward compatibility using communications systems operating according to new radio (NR) technologies. Certain aspects provide a method for wireless communication. The method generally includes identifying resources previously reserved for forward compatibility (FC) that are available for reuse, and providing signaling, to one or more user equipments (UEs), indicating the identified resources are available for reuse.
