Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a starting symbol of a radio frequency (RF) retuning gap between a first plurality of repetitions of an uplink transmission in a first frequency hop and a second plurality of repetitions of the uplink transmission in a second frequency hop. The starting symbol of the RF retuning gap is based at least in part on a starting symbol of the second plurality of repetitions and a quantity of symbols included in the RF retuning gap. The UE may determine an ending symbol of the RF retuning gap based at least in part on the starting symbol of the second plurality of repetitions. The UE may perform RF retuning during the RF retuning gap. Numerous other aspects are provided.

The UE can receive the first PDSCH from among a plurality of SPS PDSCHs and the first PDSCH on the basis of that i) the first PDSCH overlaps, with respect to time, with the plurality of SPS PDSCHs that are required to be received on the serving cell, and ii) a PDCCH ends at least 14 symbols before the start symbol of the earliest SPS PDSCH from among the plurality of SPS PDSCHs.

A base station for a wireless communication network is provided. The wireless communication network includes a plurality of base stations, each base station to serve one or more users. One or more users are served by a plurality of base stations to receive a first data signal from the base station and a second data signal from at least one further base station using multi-user superposition transmission, MUST. The base station includes a backhaul interface for a communication with one or more of the plurality of base stations of the wireless communication network. For transmitting the first data signal to one or more users served by the base station and by the further base station, the base station is configured to negotiate a MUST setting with the further base station via the backhaul interface, and map data of the first data signal using a first transmit constellation set according to the negotiated MUST setting.

A method for reporting, by a terminal, a measurement result for location determination according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises the steps of: determining whether a channel characteristic between the terminal and each base station included in a plurality of base stations configured for location determination of the terminal corresponds to a visible ray (line of sight: LoS); calculating a reference signal time difference (RSTD) by configuring, as a reference cell, one of the base stations, the channel characteristics of which correspond to a visible ray (LoS); and reporting a measurement result including the RSTD.

There is disclosed a method of operating a wireless device in a wireless communication network, the wireless device being triggered for aggregated transmission of first control information associated to a control channel, the aggregated transmission indicating a number R of retransmissions of the first control information to be performed. The method includes transmitting the first control information on a data channel based on a scaling parameter, the scaling parameter being based on the number R of retransmissions. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.

Various schemes pertaining to global cyclic shift delay (CSD) assignment for distributed-tone resource unit (dRU) transmissions in wireless communications are described. An apparatus applies a CSD index assignment in distributing a plurality of subcarriers of a resource unit (RU) over a bandwidth to generate an extremely-high-throughput short training field (EHT-STF) of a dRU. The apparatus then transmits symbols of the EHT-STF of the dRU. The CSD index assignment is based on a dRU hierarchical structure with one or more CSD indexes shared among multiple dRUs of different sizes but not among multiple dRUs of a same size.

An embodiment is a method for a terminal to perform an operation in a wireless communication system, the method including the steps of: transmitting a participation request message to peripheral anchor nodes (ANs); receiving participation response messages from candidate ANs among the peripheral ANs; selecting final ANs to be used for measuring the location of the terminal from among the candidate ANs; and measuring the location of the terminal using the final ANs.

A method for transmitting on a physical uplink shared channel, PUSCH is provided. The method comprising: receiving, by a terminal device, configuration information including M transmission configuration indication, TCI, states; receiving, by the terminal device, an activation command to activate K of the M TCI states; receiving, by the terminal device, downlink control information, DCI, to schedule a PUSCH transmission, the DCI indicating a selected TCI state from among the K TCI states; determining, by the terminal device, a spatial domain transmission filter using the selected TCI state; and transmitting, by the terminal device, on the PUSCH according to the determined spatial domain transmission filter.
