Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing capability signaling design for 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) release 15 (Rel-15) and/or release 16 (Rel-16) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) enhancement. For example, systems and methods are provided implementing designs for New Radio (NR) MIMO channel state information (CSI) for a small bandwidth part (BWP) and/or a small number of subbands. For example, some aspects relate to a user equipment (UE) including a transceiver configured to communicate with a base station and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor receives, from the base station, a CSI reporting configuration message. The processor determines, using the CSI reporting configuration message, that a number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) of a BWP associated with the CSI reporting configuration message is less than a threshold number. The processor also generates and transmits a CSI report for the BWP.

In some aspects, an apparatus of a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) indicating a configuration for one or more of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) bundling that is to be used for channel estimation by the base station for a first group of physical uplink control channels (PUCCHs) or frequency hopping for a second group of PUCCHs. The apparatus may transmit, to the base station, one or more PUCCHs based at least in part on the configuration. Numerous other aspects are described.

The initial access method comprises: a controlled device acquiring an initial access resource; the controlled device sending, on the initial access resource, initial access information to a controlling device; and the controlled device monitoring access feedback information sent by the controlling device, wherein the access feedback information is used for indicating that the controlled device has successfully accessed the controlling device.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The UE may transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) based on a PUCCH repetition factor, wherein the PUCCH repetition factor is indicated by a location of a control channel element (CCE) of the PDCCH, a PUCCH resource indicator (PRI) bitfield of the PDCCH, and at least one of: one or more parameters of the PDCCH, or one or more parameters of the PDSCH. Numerous other aspects are provided.

This disclosure relates to techniques for reducing blind decoding of downlink control channels in a wireless communication system. The techniques may include determining whether a control channel pilot signal, such as a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) is present within a set of control carrier entities, and accordingly determining whether the downlink control channel is present within the set of control channel elements. In this manner, a number of candidates for blind decoding may be reduced.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for control channel monitoring. In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method that includes receiving, at the user equipment, an indication of a codepoint activation, wherein the codepoint activation indicates that a transmission configuration indicator state being activated is associated with a second physical cell identifier different from a first physical cell identifier of a serving cell of the user equipment; and in response to the transmission configuration indicator state being activated in association with the second physical cell identifier, suspending control channel monitoring of at least one set of core resources associated with the first physical cell identifier of the serving cell of the user equipment.
