METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION AND/OR DISCONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION FOR A MULTI-CARRIER/MULTI-CELL OPERATION
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive configuration information indicating a first and a second cell group, and indicating discontinuous reception (DRX) information for them; and may receive a command associated with DRX. The WTRU may perform, based on the command, DRX for cells of the first and second cell groups. A first active time for the first cell group may differ from a second active time for the second cell group. Cells within the first cell group may be active during the first active time; cells within the second cell group may be active during the second. The WTRU may receive a first command to deactivate a first cell of the first cell group, and deactivate the cell based on the first command. The WTRU may receive a first command to reactivate the deactivated first cell, and reactivate the deactivated first cell based on the first command to reactivate.
INTERACTION OF POSITIONING AND MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL PROCEDURES
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine its position based on one or more position reference signals (PRSs), which the UE receives via different component carriers (CCs). The UE may maintain an active state with a first CC transmitting a PRS, while activating and deactivating a secondary CC that may transmit PRSs based on a periodic interval. Additionally, the UE may apply similar techniques for inactive BWPs where a PRS spans multiple BWPs. In some implementations, the position of the UE may enhance a UE mobility procedure based on determining a resource to use for the UE mobility procedure that is dependent upon the position of the UE. For example, the UE mobility procedure may include a random access procedure or a handover procedure. Additionally, the resources used for the mobility procedures may be quasi co-located with PRSs.
TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING PARTIALLY OVERLAPPING TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device such as a user equipment (UE) may determine to transition from a first duplexing mode to a second duplexing mode, where a first communication associated with the first duplexing mode at least partially overlaps in time with a second communication associated with the second duplexing mode. Based on the overlap, the UE may identify transition information for coordinating the transition between the first duplexing mode and the second duplexing mode. Using the transition information, the UE may transition from the first duplexing mode to the second duplexing mode, and may communicate with a second wireless device, such as a base station, using the second duplexing mode.
PDCCH MONITORING FOR MULTI-CELL SCHEDULING
Methods and apparatuses for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring for multi-cell scheduling. A method for a user equipment (UE) includes receiving first information indicating a set of cells that includes more than one cell, second information indicating a first search space set that is associated with a DCI format for scheduling on multiple cells, and third information indicating an indicator value corresponding to the set of cells. The method further includes determining an association between the first search space set and the set of cells, and, based on the first search space set and the indicator value, control channel elements (CCEs) for receptions of PDCCH candidates; and receiving the PDCCH candidates over the CCEs.
RESOURCE ELEMENT OVERLAP BETWEEN A SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK AND DEMODULATION REFERENCE SIGNAL
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a synchronization signal block (SSB) including a physical layer cell identifier (PCI), where one or more resource elements carrying the SSB overlap with resource elements carrying a downlink shared channel associated with another PCI. The PCIs may be for a serving cell or another cell, such as a non-serving cell. The UE may also receive one or more demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) in the one or more resource elements in the downlink shared channel. The UE may determine whether overlap is permitted between the resource elements by comparing the PCIs of the SSB and the downlink shared channel. In some examples, once the UE determines whether resource element overlap is permitted, the UE may process the DMRSs.
Techniques for transmitting information related to a PPDU format in wireless local area network system
According to various embodiments, a receiving station (STA) may receive a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU). The PPDU may include a first signal field and a second signal field. The first signal field may include 3-bit information. The receiving STA may determine whether the PPDU is related to single user (SU) transmission or multiple user (MU) transmission, whether the PPDU is related to orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), whether the PPDU is related to multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO), and whether the PPDU is related to a trigger-based (TB) PPDU, based on the 3-bit information.
Efficient update and activation of channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) trigger state
Certain aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a method for wireless communication. The method generally includes receiving a configuration of trigger states for channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) reporting, receiving a first downlink control information (DCI) activating one of the trigger states, receiving CSI-RS in accordance with the activated one of the trigger states, and processing the CSI-RS.
ENABLING TRANSITIONS BETWEEN HALF-DUPLEX AND FULL-DUPLEX MODES
Methods, systems, and devices for enabling transitions between half-duplex and full-duplex modes in wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit to a base station a first indication of a switching latency for transitioning between a half-duplex mode and a full-duplex mode. The UE may receive, from the base station in accordance with the first indication of the switching latency, a second indication that the UE is to transition to one of the half-duplex mode or the full-duplex mode. The UE may transition to the half-duplex mode or the full-duplex mode based on receiving the second indication.
Channel State Information Reporting for Multi-Transmission-Reception-Point Operation
This disclosure relates to techniques for performing channel state information reporting for multi-transmission-reception-point operation in a wireless communication system. Channel state information configuration information may be provided to a wireless device. The channel state information configuration information may indicate channel measurement resources associated with each of multiple transmission reception points. The wireless device may perform channel state information reporting based on the channel state information configuration information.
Scheduling Multiple Downlink Transmissions Using a Single Downlink Control Transmission
This disclosure relates to techniques for scheduling multiple downlink transmissions using a single downlink control transmission in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may determine a beam configuration for use for receiving multiple downlink transport blocks scheduled by a single downlink control transmission. In some instances, the wireless device may be configured to skip one or more control channel monitoring occasions that overlap with the downlink transport blocks. The wireless device may provide hybrid automatic repeat request feedback for the downlink transport blocks.
