Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for full-duplex slot configuration. A method that may be performed by a wireless node includes determining one or more traffic parameters associated with data configured for communication via wireless links including at least one reception link and at least one transmission link, selecting a full-duplex (FD) slot type for communication of the data via the wireless links, wherein the FD slot type is based on the one or more traffic parameters, and communicating the data with one or more wireless nodes via the wireless links in accordance with the selected FD slot type.

Method and apparatus for multi-carrier/multi-cell discontinuous reception (DRX)/discontinuous transmission (DTX) operations and activation/deactivation of DRX/DTX are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may configure at least one state variable for controlling DRX, DTX or both on a group of cells. The WTRU may receive an order for DRX or DTX activation or deactivation. The WTRU may determine a setting for the state variable based on the order. The WTRU may activate or deactivate DRX or DTX based on the setting for the state variable. The group of cells may include all cells within the same frequency band, all cells in a particular frequency or group of frequencies, and all secondary cells associated with a primary cell. The primary cell may be an uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) primary cell. The secondary cells may be UL or DL secondary cells. The WTRU may apply common, group-specific or cell-specific DRX monitoring.

Aspects relate to dynamic sounding reference signal (SRS) slot offset indication in a wireless communication system using aperiodic SRS. An indicator field is utilized to signal the slot offset indication to a user equipment (UE). Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Provided are a method and device for switching between unicast transmission and multicast/broadcast service (MBS) transmission in a cellular wireless communication network. The method for a base station to switch MBS data transmission may include: transmitting configuration information for reception of MBS data of a user equipment (UE) to the UE; transmitting information instructing a change of radio bearer for the reception of the MBS data to the UE; and receiving a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) status report from the UE.

Aspects relate to mechanisms for wireless communication device to transmit indications of channel qualities for uplink and downlink transmission involving multi-subscriber identification module (MSIM) devices. A user equipment (UE) having a first subscription and a second subscription is provided. The UE identifies one or more base-band resource outage periods associated with the first subscription based on a utilization of at least partially shared base-band resources by the second subscription. The UE also transmits one or more medium access control (MAC) control elements (MAC-CEs) to a base station requesting a modification of one or more data transmission timing parameters of one or more data elements associated with the first subscription based on the one or more base-band resource outage periods associated with the first subscription.

Systems and methods for multi-Transmission Reception Point (TRP) transmission for downlink Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) are provided. In some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for configuring one or more wireless communications settings includes determining multiple wireless communications configurations; and simultaneously activating at least two of the wireless communications configurations such that the at least two of the plurality of wireless communications configurations include configuration of one or more of a low latency and/or reliability scheme and one or more properties related to the low latency and/or reliability scheme. This enables multi-TRP based reliability schemes for the case when multiple downlink SPS configurations can be simultaneously activated. By independently configuring low latency and/or reliability schemes and properties of such schemes to different downlink SPS configurations, different reliability and/or low latency schemes can be flexibly applied to different downlink SPS configurations that may be associated with different traffic profiles.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration of one or more periodic communications. The UE may receive an indication of a resource allocation for a communication. The UE may determine whether to receive the communication based at least in part on whether the resource allocation has resources within a threshold amount of time from a closest periodic communication of the one or more periodic communications. Numerous other aspects are described.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for directional LBT procedure for DRS transmission. One apparatus (800) includes a processor (805) and a transceiver (825) that is operable on unlicensed spectrum. The processor (805) indicates (905) block locations within a Discovery Reference Signal (“DRS”) transmission window for a plurality of candidate 5 Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel (“SS/PBCH”) blocks. The processor (805) performs (910) a Listen-Before-Talk (“LBT”) procedure for a plurality of DRS transmissions within a DRS transmission window and controls the transceiver (825) to transmit (915) — for a given spatial direction — a SS/PBCH block upon successful LBT for the given spatial direction.

Bandwidth part (BWP) configurations supporting various communication approaches (e.g., full duplex and/or half duplex operations) are described. Full duplex (FD) frequency-based BWP configurations may, for example, be configured as a subset of defined BWP resources for supporting full duplex operation by base stations and/or user equipments (UEs). Usable bandwidth of a FD frequency-based BWP configuration may be selected from half duplex frequency-based BWPs in legacy BWPs. Bandwidths of usable BWPs for a FD frequency-based BWP configuration may be selected so as to be non-overlapping in frequency. Transition between configurations and modes (e.g., between full duplex frequency-based BWP configurations, between half duplex and full duplex modes, etc.) may be managed to avoid periods in which a communication device cannot perform any uplink or downlink transmissions due to switching between defined BWP configurations, or otherwise reduces BWP switching time. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Blind coverage for wireless devices is enhanced varying one or more transmission characteristics of a repeated transmission sent or received by apparatuses, where the repeated transmission includes, for example a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) and/or a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmissions. Varied characteristics may include a start time for each repetition, a duration for each repetition, a start frequency for each repetition, a bandwidth of each repetition, a number of repetitions for each subframe, and/or a number of repetitions for each slot. Repetitions may be within a Bandwidth Part (BWP) or span multiple BWPs. Repetitions may vary from one to another in start time, start frequency, duration, bandwidth, and slot and subframe patterns. Higher level signalling, such as Radio Resource Control (RRC) signalling may be used to control the inclusion or omission of a DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) in repeated transmissions.
