Wireless communications systems and methods related to providing frequency diversity for communications in an unlicensed spectrum are provided. A first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, an opportunistic frequency-switching configuration for a first frequency band and a second frequency band. The first frequency band and the second frequency band are shared by a first network operating entity and a second network operating entity. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device, a first communication signal in a first frequency band based on the opportunistic frequency-switching configuration. The first wireless communication device switches from the first frequency band to a second frequency band based on the opportunistic frequency-switching configuration. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device after the switching, a second communication signal in the second frequency band based on the opportunistic frequency-switching configuration.

A UE receives DCI in a PDCCH, the DCI triggers reception of AP CSI-RS, and the PDCCH has a first numerology and the AP CSI-RS has a second numerology. The UE determines, when a CORESET is configured on an active BWP of a serving cell for receiving the AP CSI-RS and when the first numerology is the same as the second numerology, a default AP CSI-RS beam for receiving the AP CSI-RS based on a beam used for receiving the CORESET with a lowest ID in a latest monitored slot of the active BWP of the serving cell. The UE determines, otherwise when the first numerology is the same as the second numerology, the default AP CSI-RS beam for receiving the AP CSI-RS based on a QCL assumption of a PDSCH TCI state with a lowest ID on the active BWP of the serving cell for receiving the AP CSI-RS.

Systems and methods for wireless communications are disclosed herein. In some arrangements, a method includes switching by a network and a wireless communication device from communicating in a first frequency resource to communicating in a second frequency resource. In response to the switching, the network and the wireless communication device communicate using the second frequency resource.

Aspects of the present application provide methods and devices in a communication network that aid in implementing sounding reference signal (SRS) measurement by multiple cells (i.e. serving cells and non-serving cells, also known as “neighbor cells”) as well as NR LMUs.

Different carriers and/or bandwidth parts (BWPs) may sometimes be utilized for wireless communication between two devices. In some prior wireless communication systems, e.g. in new radio (NR), the carrier used to transmit hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is semi-statically configured. However, semi-static configuration might be disadvantageous, e.g. for scenarios in which latency is a concern. In some embodiments, the carrier and/or BWP for transmitting HARQ feedback is instead dynamically indicated. More generally, when two devices are wirelessly communicating with each other, the carrier and/or BWP to be used for transmitting control information may be dynamically indicated.

Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for utilizing a flexible slot indicator in wireless communication. A base station (BS) may establish communication with a first user equipment device (UE). The BS may determine a transmission direction for each of a plurality of symbols included in one or more slots. The BS may transmit a slot format indicator (SFI) to the UE. The SFI may indicate the transmission direction for each of the plurality of symbols included in one or more slots. The BS and the UE may perform communication during the one or more slots according to the determined transmission direction.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Some wireless communications systems support mobile broadband (MBB) communications and low latency communications. To accommodate low latency communications, a base station may identify resources allocated for MBB communications, and the base station may reassign (or puncture) these resources for low latency communications. The base station may transmit an indication of the reassigned (or punctured) resources to one or more user equipment (UEs). The base station may transmit an indication of the reassigned resources in a transmission time interval (TTI) that is subsequent to a TTI reassigned (or punctured) for low latency communications (e.g., a post indication). The base station may transmit the post indication in a retransmission grant of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or in downlink control information (DCI) of a PDCCH.

Enhanced transmission opportunities are disclosed for sounding reference signals (SRS). The enhancements may provide more flexibility in scheduling SRS transmission and more SRS transmission opportunities. An additional offset may be defined and dynamically communicated to a user equipment (UE) to use either to override or in additional to a semi-statically communicated standard offset when scheduling the SRS transmission opportunity based on an SRS trigger slot or another granted slot. The UE may further treat each combination of timing information as a separate SRS opportunity or may define a window between two signaled timing offsets within which the UE may attempt SRS transmissions.

A method, system and apparatus are disclosed. According to one or more embodiments, a wireless device configured to communicate with a network node is provided. The wireless device includes processing circuitry configured to: receive downlink control information, DCI, from a primary cell, Pcell; determine that at least one bitfield in the DCI indicates a secondary cell Scell, dormancy; and cause the wireless device to transition the Scell from one of to and from a dormant state based on the at least one bitfield, a timing of the transition being based on a numerology of at least one of the Pcell and Scell.

A terminal includes a communication unit configured to perform communication by using carrier aggregation in a primary cell or a primary secondary cell and a secondary cell, and a control unit configured to perform a change of an operation related to the secondary cell when a change of a communication state occurs in the primary cell, the primary secondary cell, or the secondary cell.
