A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a control section that derives a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption of an Aperiodic Channel State Information-Reference Signal (A-CSI-RS) based on a specific Transmission Configuration Indication state (TCI state) for a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in a case where both of following conditions (1) and (2) are satisfied, where (1) a scheduling offset between reception of a downlink control channel for conveying downlink control information for scheduling the A-CSI-RS, and reception of the A-CSI-RS is less than a reported value of a duration for beam switch, and (2) there is not another downlink signal that includes an instructed TCI state or there is another downlink signal that does not include the instructed TCI state in a same symbol as a symbol of the A-CSI-RS; and a receiving section that receives the A-CSI-RS based on the QCL assumption.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine downlink (DL) channel state information; and transmit a first sounding reference signal (SRS) and a second SRS, wherein the second SRS is precoded based at least in part on the DL channel state information. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A signal transmission method, an information sending method, and a communication node are provided. The signal transmission method includes: obtaining first information. The first information is used for indicating a transmission mode of a first node or a second node. The signal transmission method further includes transmitting a signal related to the second node according to the transmission mode corresponding to the first information.

A method and apparatus of a device that determines an occurrence of the DL SPS or the UL CG to determine a periodicity of a packet generation is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the method receives a configuration for a downlink (DL) Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) or an uplink (UL) Configured Grant (CG). The configuration includes an indication of non-integer periodicity of the DL SPS or the UL CG. Additionally, the method determines an occurrence of the DL SPS or the UL CG based on the received configuration for the DL SPS or the UL CG to determine a periodicity of a packet generation. Thereafter, the method transmits or receives data based on the configuration for the DL SPS or the UL CG.

A method, apparatus, and system of a User Equipment (UE) device executing communications using a Device-to-Device (D2D) Long Term Evolution (LTE) network are provided. The method includes determining D2D devices communicating in an area, determining whether D2D data is to be transmitted, determining one or more resource sets for transmitting the D2D data, and transmitting the D2D data using the determined one or more resource sets.

A method for establishing a wireless connection between a user equipment (UE) device and a base station in unlicensed radio frequency (RF) spectrum includes (a) receiving, at the UE device, a plurality of RF beams broadcasted by the base station, (b) identifying a selected RF beam of the plurality of RF beams having control information with a maximum received signal level, and (c) identifying a first channel occupancy time (COT1) of the base station from control information of the selected RF beam.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a set of channel state processes scheduled to be performed. The UE may receive a channel state feedback request corresponding to another set of channel state processes. The combination of the set of channel state processes and the other set of channel state processes may be greater than an amount that the UE may process at a given time. The UE may determine a priority for the channel state processes either on an individual or group basis. The UE may determine channel state process (es) to drop based on the determined priorities, and may perform the remaining channel state processes. The UE may generate and transmit a channel state feedback report message based on the performed channel state processes.

Various systems and methods for scheduling data transmissions from a base station to user equipment (UE) are presented. Channel quality indicator values that correspond to multiple UE may be determined for multiple carrier components of a cellular network's carrier aggregation. A scheduling matrix may be created that includes instantaneous data transfer rates for the UE. Elements within the scheduling matrix may be normalized by modifying instantaneous data transmission rates using average data transmission rates. Scheduling decisions for data transfers may be made for the UE based on the normalized scheduling matrix.
