Methods and apparatuses for associating aperiodic SRS triggering state(s) with SRS resource sets or SRS CC sets are disclosed. A method comprises transmitting an Activation/Deactivation MAC CE to indicate or update the association between aperiodic SRS triggering state(s) and the aperiodic SRS resource set(s) for the SRS request field value carried by DCI format 0_1 or 1_1 or DCI format 2_3 with a higher layer parameter srs-TPC-PDCCH-Group=typeB or the SRS CC set(s) for the SRS request field value carried by DCI format 2_3 with the higher layer parameter srs-TPC-PDCCH-Group=typeA.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for transmitting sounding reference signal (SRS) resources with frequency hopping. In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) may use different SRS ports, different antenna ports, different numbers and sizes of SRS resources, different periodicities, different offsets, different transmission comb values, different number of symbols, different power control parameters, and/or different transmission comb offset values for SRS transmissions on different frequency subbands of the frequency hopping pattern to ensure that sounding operations cover all antennas of the UE, cover the entire frequency range of interest, and provide sufficiently dense SRS transmissions from which a base station can determine the best channel for DL transmissions while also using a minimum amount of SRS resources and consuming minimal power in the UE.

Techniques for transmitting and receiving beamformed transmission(s) of a common search space of a DL (Downlink) control channel are discussed. One example embodiment that can be employed at a UE (User Equipment) comprises processing circuitry configured to: select a set of receive beamforming weights for a DL (Downlink) control channel; and decode one or more control channel sets from a common search space of the DL control channel, wherein each control channel set of the one or more control channel sets is mapped to an associated symbol of one or more symbols of a slot, wherein each control channel set of the one or more control channel sets has an associated transmit beamforming, and wherein each control channel set of the one or more control channel sets comprises a common set of control information.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring parameters for small data transfer (SDT) transmissions. One example technique provides a method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), involving: obtaining configuration information received from a network entity, the configuration information indicating a plurality of configurations for small data transfer (SDT) transmission, determining at least one of a transport block size (TBS) or data threshold for SDT transmission based on one of the configurations, and outputting for transmission one or more SDT transmissions based on the determination.

Dynamic reconfiguration of CSI-RS resources for CSI reporting is described for full dimension multiple input, multiple output (FD-MIMO) systems. While a larger number of channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) resources with independent resource configuration are configured and associated with a CSI process, only a subset of resources that are activated by additional signaling are used for CSI measurement and reporting. The set of activated CSI-RS resources may include only a single CSI-RS resource. Both periodic and aperiodic CSI reporting may then be based on the same set of the activated CSI-RS resources. Medium access control (MAC) control elements may be used to provide activation/deactivation of the CSI-RS resources. Additionally, CSI reporting may be based on both the activated CSI-RS resources and the associated number of antenna ports.

The present specification relates to a method for receiving dormant bandwidth part (BWP) configuration information, performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving the dormant BWP configuration information from a base station, wherein the dormant BWP configuration information is information about a downlink BWP used as the dormant BWP among at least one downlink BWP set to the terminal; receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) notifying activation of the dormant BWP; and stopping monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on the dormant BWP, wherein a BWP inactivity timer is not used on the basis of the activation of the dormant BWP, and the BWP inactivity timer is a timer for a transition to a default BWP.

A system includes a method for detecting a signal interference in a communication signal of a wireless communication system. An identified source of the signal interference is determined according to an interference profile of a plurality of interference profiles associated with an interference profile library having information that approximates characteristics of the signal interference. The signal interference of the communication signal is mitigated according to an interference parameter associated with the identified source by filtering the communication signal according to the interference parameter.

An apparatus for wireless communication includes a transmitter configured to communicate with a base station based on a first uplink bandwidth part (BWP) that includes a first frequency subset and that further includes a second frequency subset. The apparatus further includes a receiver configured to receive, from the base station, one or more messages including a frequency hopping indicator that specifies whether a frequency hopping mode is enabled or disabled. The transmitter is further configured to transmit, to the base station, an uplink control channel transmission using both the first frequency subset and the second frequency subset based on the frequency hopping indicator specifying that the frequency hopping mode is enabled or using one of the first frequency subset or the second frequency subset based on the frequency hopping indicator specifying that the frequency hopping mode is disabled.

A method and an apparatus for uplink transmission in a communication system. An operation method of a terminal includes: receiving, from a base station, first SFI information indicating n flexible symbol(s); receiving, from the base station, second SFI information re-indicating m symbol(s) of the n flexible symbol(s) as uplink (UL) symbol(s); and transmitting an SRS to the base station through the m symbol(s) re-indicated as a UL symbol among the n flexible symbol(s) indicated as a flexible symbol. Therefore, performance of the communication system can be improved.

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may perform, for example, a method that determines at least one threshold for detecting signal interference in a first plurality of segments occurring in a first radio frequency spectrum of a first wireless communication system, detecting a pattern of recurrence over time of signal interference in a segment of the first plurality of resource blocks according to the at least one threshold, and performing one or more mitigation steps to mitigate the signal interference without filtering the signal interference where the one or more mitigation steps include at least one of transmitting signals out of phase from the signal interference, adjusting transmit power, increasing power in a resource block of a long term evolution communication session, performing beam steering, or changing time parameters for the resource block without changing to a new resource block.
