A method for determining a transport block size includes: determining an overhead of a sidelink data channel PSSCH demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a physical resource block (PRB) of a first time-frequency resource, where the first time-frequency resource includes a first time unit in time domain; and determining, based on the overhead of the PSSCH DMRS, a number of resource elements (REs) on the first time-frequency resource that are for data transmission, where the number of REs for data transmission is for determining a transport block size (TBS) of the sidelink data channel PSSCH. The method provides a combined gain of a plurality of transmissions of a same transport block, and supports DMRS configurations of different quantities of DMRS symbols in initial transmission and retransmission of one transport block.

Techniques and device for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may establish multiple connections with multiple transmission reception points (TRPs). The wireless device may receive downlink control information (DCI) messages from the multiple transmission points and may generate joint hybrid automatic repeat request feedback (HARQ) based on the received downlink control information messages. To support joint HARQ feedback, counter indices may be jointly assigned to the DCI messages generated by the multiple transmission reception points. The method for jointly assigning the DCI messages may be selected based on a level of interference detected in a communications channel. Also, to support joint HARQ feedback, a total counter index in an uplink DCI message may be configured to indicate a total number of DCI message transmitted from a first TRP and a second TRP during a time period.

The UE receives a first signaling in a first resource element set and a first radio signal. The first resource element set determines a first information set out of M information sets; wherein M is equal to 2; the first resource element set comprises a positive integer number of resource element(s); any information set of the M information sets comprises a positive integer number of information element(s); any information element in the M information sets is a transmission configuration indication state; any information element of the integer number of information element(s) comprises a first type index and a second type index set, a second type index set comprises one second type index or multiple second type indices. The above method helps reduce overhead for scheduling signaling.

The method generally includes receiving a configuration of resources on a plurality of signaling entities for reception of a plurality of control messages, wherein each of the plurality of control messages schedules resources on a different signaling entity than one of the plurality of signaling entities on which the control message is to be received, and monitoring the configured resources on the plurality of signaling entities for the plurality of control messages.

The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a UE and a base station for wireless communications. The UE receives first information, and transmits a first radio signal in a first time window in a first sub-band. The first information is used for determining the first time window; a time offset of a start time for a transmission of the first radio signal relative to a reference time belongs to a target offset set, the target offset set including W offset value(s); time offset(s) of W start time(s) respectively relative to the reference time is(are) respectively equal to the W offset value(s); any of the W start time(s) belongs to one of N time units, any of the N time units includes at least one of the W start times.

An example method generally includes receiving uplink transmission configuration indicator (TCI) indicating one or more quasi co-location (QCL) types, from a plurality of uplink QCL types, for one or more source reference signals (RSs); and sending an uplink transmission in accordance with the uplink TCI.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One example method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE) includes detecting a radio link failure (RLF) condition for a connection between the UE and a network over a first cell group and determining, in response to detecting the RLF condition, whether an air interface resource allocation is available for a signaling radio bearer (SRB) between the UE and the network over another cell group. The method also includes selecting, based at least in part on the determination, one of a plurality of RLF procedures. In some examples, the UE may select a first RLF procedure that fully releases radio resources when no SRB is available and a different, second RLF procedure that partially when an SRB is available between the UE and the network over a second cell group.

A framework for dynamic network resource allocation and energy saving based on the real-time environment, radio network information, and machine learning (ML) can be utilized via a radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC). Real-time and predicted network utilization can facilitate resource and energy savings by leveraging the RIC platform. For example, a network information base (NIB) in the RIC platform can collects RAN and user equipment (UE) resource related information in real time and provides the abstraction of the access network in the real time. ML can predict real-time information about the UEs at time t based on data analytics and real time radio resource needs. The RIC can then instruct the network to reduce or increase resources.

A method and apparatus of a user equipment (UE) are provided. The method and apparatus comprise: identifying spatial parameters for a synchronization signals/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block and a downlink (DL) signal, wherein the spatial parameters are commonly used for receiving the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal; receiving the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal, wherein the SS/PBCH block and the DL signal are time division multiplexed in a same slot; and determining information from the DL signal.
