The user equipment includes receiving circuitry configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) signal comprising first information. The receiving circuity is also configured to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The user equipment also includes transmitting circuitry configured to perform semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) reporting. The user equipment also includes processing circuitry configured to drop the SP-CSI reporting based on that the SP-CSI reporting is being performed without multiplexing with an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) and the SP-CSI reporting overlaps in time with a positive scheduling request (SR) transmission. The processing circuitry is also configured to drop the SP-CSI reporting based on that the SP-CSI reporting overlaps in time with an UL-SCH transmission in one symbol. | 2021-01-14 |
20210014882 | METHOD FOR REPORTING SCHEDULING DECISIONS BY A COMMUNICATION TESTER - A method for reporting scheduling decisions by a communication tester is provided. The method comprises the steps of establishing a communication between the communication tester and a device under test, and creating a message log during the communication with the aid of the communication tester. In this context, the message log comprises reports with all negative scheduling decisions. | 2021-01-14 |
20210014883 | DATA TRANSMISSION RELIABILITY WITH MULTIPLE DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION SIGNALS - Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a capability of receiving multiple downlink control information (DCI) signals or messages from one or more base stations indicating corresponding downlink data channels for a same transport block (TB) (e.g., for a same feedback process, where each downlink data channel has a same feedback identification). Subsequently, the UE may receive one or more DCIs, each scheduling a respective downlink data channel for the same TB, where the UE is then expected to transmit acknowledgement (ACK) feedback for the TB. Accordingly, the UE may transmit the ACK feedback (e.g., in a joint feedback message or via separate feedback messages) for the corresponding downlink data channels based on attempting to decode the TB on resources of the downlink data channels as indicated by the multiple DCIs. | 2021-01-14 |
20210014884 | METHOD AND TERMINAL FOR RECEIVING PDSCH - This disclosure provides a method for receiving a PDSCH and a terminal thereof. The method for receiving a PDSCH includes: after occurrence of a beam failure event is determined, monitoring a PDCCH on a CORESET-BFR and a PDCCH on another CORESET, determining a QCL parameter of the PDSCH based on a QCL parameter of the PDCCH on the CORESET-BFR, a QCL parameter of the PDCCH on the another CORESET, a QCL parameter of a PDCCH on a CORESET that contains DCI scheduling the PDSCH, or a QCL parameter indicated by TCI state information in the DCI scheduling the PDSCH, and receiving the PDSCH based on the determined QCL parameter. | 2021-01-14 |
20210014885 | METHOD FOR CONFIGURING PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL, USER EQUIPMENT AND NETWORK SIDE DEVICE - Provided are a method for configuring a physical downlink control channel, a user equipment and a network side device. The method comprises: receiving physical layer signaling or media access control (MAC) layer signaling sent by the network side; and determining, according to the physical layer or MAC layer signaling, a first parameter related to a PDCCH monitoring behavior of a serving cell. | 2021-01-14 |
20210014886 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING SIGNALS BASED ON CONFIGURED GRANT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - The present invention relates to a method for performing uplink transmissions by a transmission end in a wireless communication system. In particular, the method includes the steps of: receiving a dynamic uplink grant for a HARQ process from a reception end; and performing an uplink transmission scheduled by the dynamic uplink grant, wherein at least one uplink transmission on at least one configured uplink grant for the HARQ process after receiving the dynamic uplink grant before performing the uplink transmission scheduled by the dynamic uplink grant is skipped. | 2021-01-14 |
