The present disclosure proposes various methods for improving coverage. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when an unavailable resource exists in a resource set configured for repeated transmission of a physical uplink channel, the UE may determine a resource capable of actually performing repeated transmission of a physical uplink channel within the resource set. According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal receives the TPC command within the resource corresponding to the DMRS bundle, the terminal may perform power control based on the TPC command after the resource.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for time aligning full-duplex communications. A method that may be performed by a base station (BS) includes transmitting, to a first user equipment (UE): an indication of a first uplink timing advance (TA) determined based on a first propagation delay between the BS and the first UE, and an indication of a first cyclic prefix (CP) length determined based on the first uplink TA. In certain aspect, the method also includes transmitting, to the first UE, a first downlink communication comprising a downlink CP, during a first time window comprising a plurality of time periods.

Provided are a time synchronization method using 5G reference time distribution and a network entity performing the same. The time synchronization method may include receiving, by a time sensitive communication time synchronization function (TSCTSF), a 5G reference time distribution request including time synchronization parameter values from an application function (AF); performing, by the TSCTSF, policy modification; and transmitting, by the TSCTSF, a setting of the 5G reference time distribution to the AF.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Specifically, techniques that enable a base station to send a feedback message to a user equipment (UE) indicating a quality of uplink continuity are described. The base station may observe uplink communications received from the UE to determine a level of uplink continuity associated with the UE. Based on the measurements, the base station may transmit a feedback message indicating one or more measurements corresponding to the performance of the UE in maintaining uplink continuity. By utilizing techniques for indicating the quality of uplink continuity to the UE, the UE may address uplink continuity mismatches, which may increase overall network efficiency and improve channel estimations.

A base station (UE) is configured to perform a computer-implemented method for antenna fault detection and correction. The computer-implemented method includes acquiring one or more sounding reference signals (SRSs) received from at least one gNB antenna; detecting an antenna failure based on the one or more SRSs; estimating a noise power based on the antenna failure and a history of received SRSs; detecting a missing SRS based on the noise power and the history of received SRSs; and handling the missing SRS. Handling the missing SRS is based on performing at least one of: replacing an SRS measurement with a predicted SRS value for the missing SRS when the predicted SRS is available; or avoiding use of the missing SRS in a sequential SRS prediction when the predicted SRS is unavailable.

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for ephemeris signaling in wireless networks.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE). The UE detects one or more conditions are met for transmitting a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) providing assistance information to a network entity for scheduling. In response to the detection, the UE then takes one or more actions to obtain uplink (UL) resources for transmitting the MAC CE.

Provided are a method of adjusting uplink timing in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, a method for a user equipment to adjust uplink timing in a wireless communication system includes transmitting, to a base station, an uplink signal, receiving, from the base station, a timing advance (TA) command configured based on the uplink signal, and performing uplink transmission to the base station by applying a timing advance (TA) indicated by the TA command. The TA command may be interpreted based on subcarrier spacing of at least one frequency resource region to which the TA is to be applied.

Various embodiments are generally directed to improved channel quality information feedback techniques. In one embodiment, for example, an evolved node B (eNB) may comprise a processor circuit, a communication component for execution by the processor circuit to receive a channel quality index for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the channel quality index associated with a defined reference resource, and a selection component for execution by the processor circuit to select a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for transmission over the PDSCH of user equipment (UE) data in one or more resource blocks, the selection component to compensate for a difference between a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) overhead of the defined reference resource and a CRS overhead of the one or more resource blocks when selecting the MCS. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A method for determining a TA and a terminal device are provided. The method comprises operations as follows. A terminal device calculates a first TA value according to position information of the terminal device and ephemeris information of a satellite. The terminal device determines a second TA value according to the first TA value and a first adjustment value. The second TA value is used by the terminal device to perform uplink synchronization.
