     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     In the present disclosure, various embodiments are presented as examples of how the disclosed techniques may be implemented and/or how the disclosed techniques may be practiced in environments and scenarios. It will be apparent to persons skilled in the relevant art that various changes in form and detail can be made therein without departing from the scope. In fact, after reading the description, it will be apparent to one skilled in the relevant art how to implement alternative embodiments. The present embodiments should not be limited by any of the described exemplary embodiments. The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Limitations, features, and/or elements from the disclosed example embodiments may be combined to create further embodiments within the scope of the disclosure. Any figures which highlight the functionality and advantages, are presented for example purposes only. The disclosed architecture is sufficiently flexible and configurable, such that it may be utilized in ways other than that shown. For example, the actions listed in any flowchart may be re-ordered or only optionally used in some embodiments. 
     Embodiments may be configured to operate as needed. The disclosed mechanism may be performed when certain criteria are met, for example, in a wireless device, a base station, a radio environment, a network, a combination of the above, and/or the like. Example criteria may be based, at least in part, on for example, wireless device or network node configurations, traffic load, initial system set up, packet sizes, traffic characteristics, a combination of the above, and/or the like. When the one or more criteria are met, various example embodiments may be applied. Therefore, it may be possible to implement example embodiments that selectively implement disclosed protocols. 
     A base station may communicate with a mix of wireless devices. Wireless devices and/or base stations may support multiple technologies, and/or multiple releases of the same technology. Wireless devices may have some specific capability(ies) depending on wireless device category and/or capability(ies). When this disclosure refers to a base station communicating with a plurality of wireless devices, this disclosure may refer to a subset of the total wireless devices in a coverage area. This disclosure may refer to, for example, a plurality of wireless devices of a given LTE or 5G release with a given capability and in a given sector of the base station. The plurality of wireless devices in this disclosure may refer to a selected plurality of wireless devices, and/or a subset of total wireless devices in a coverage area which perform according to disclosed methods, and/or the like. There may be a plurality of base stations or a plurality of wireless devices in a coverage area that may not comply with the disclosed methods, for example, those wireless devices or base stations may perform based on older releases of LTE or 5G technology. 
     In this disclosure, “a” and “an” and similar phrases are to be interpreted as “at least one” and “one or more.” Similarly, any term that ends with the suffix “(s)” is to be interpreted as “at least one” and “one or more.” In this disclosure, the term “may” is to be interpreted as “may, for example.” In other words, the term “may” is indicative that the phrase following the term “may” is an example of one of a multitude of suitable possibilities that may, or may not, be employed by one or more of the various embodiments. The terms “comprises” and “consists of”, as used herein, enumerate one or more components of the element being described. The term “comprises” is interchangeable with “includes” and does not exclude unenumerated components from being included in the element being described. By contrast, “consists of” provides a complete enumeration of the one or more components of the element being described. The term “based on”, as used herein, should be interpreted as “based at least in part on” rather than, for example, “based solely on”. The term “and/or” as used herein represents any possible combination of enumerated elements. For example, “A, B, and/or C” may represent A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; or A, B, and C. 
     If A and B are sets and every element of A is an element of B, A is called a subset of B. In this specification, only non-empty sets and subsets are considered. For example, possible subsets of B={cell1, cell2} are: {cell1}, {cell2}, and {cell1, cell2}. The phrase “based on” (or equally “based at least on”) is indicative that the phrase following the term “based on” is an example of one of a multitude of suitable possibilities that may, or may not, be employed to one or more of the various embodiments. The phrase “in response to” (or equally “in response at least to”) is indicative that the phrase following the phrase “in response to” is an example of one of a multitude of suitable possibilities that may, or may not, be employed to one or more of the various embodiments. The phrase “depending on” (or equally “depending at least to”) is indicative that the phrase following the phrase “depending on” is an example of one of a multitude of suitable possibilities that may, or may not, be employed to one or more of the various embodiments. The phrase “employing/using” (or equally “employing/using at least”) is indicative that the phrase following the phrase “employing/using” is an example of one of a multitude of suitable possibilities that may, or may not, be employed to one or more of the various embodiments. 
     The term configured may relate to the capacity of a device whether the device is in an operational or non-operational state. Configured may refer to specific settings in a device that effect the operational characteristics of the device whether the device is in an operational or non-operational state. In other words, the hardware, software, firmware, registers, memory values, and/or the like may be “configured” within a device, whether the device is in an operational or nonoperational state, to provide the device with specific characteristics. Terms such as “a control message to cause in a device” may mean that a control message has parameters that may be used to configure specific characteristics or may be used to implement certain actions in the device, whether the device is in an operational or non-operational state. 
     In this disclosure, parameters (or equally called, fields, or Information elements: IEs) may comprise one or more information objects, and an information object may comprise one or more other objects. For example, if parameter (IE) N comprises parameter (IE) M, and parameter (IE) M comprises parameter (IE) K, and parameter (IE) K comprises parameter (information element) J. Then, for example, N comprises K, and N comprises J. In an example embodiment, when one or more messages comprise a plurality of parameters, it implies that a parameter in the plurality of parameters is in at least one of the one or more messages, but does not have to be in each of the one or more messages. 
     Many features presented are described as being optional through the use of “may” or the use of parentheses. For the sake of brevity and legibility, the present disclosure does not explicitly recite each and every permutation that may be obtained by choosing from the set of optional features. The present disclosure is to be interpreted as explicitly disclosing all such permutations. For example, a system described as having three optional features may be embodied in seven ways, namely with just one of the three possible features, with any two of the three possible features or with three of the three possible features. 
     Many of the elements described in the disclosed embodiments may be implemented as modules. A module is defined here as an element that performs a defined function and has a defined interface to other elements. The modules described in this disclosure may be implemented in hardware, software in combination with hardware, firmware, wetware (e.g. hardware with a biological element) or a combination thereof, which may be behaviorally equivalent. For example, modules may be implemented as a software routine written in a computer language configured to be executed by a hardware machine (such as C, C++, Fortran, Java, Basic, Matlab or the like) or a modeling/simulation program such as Simulink, Stateflow, GNU Octave, or Lab VIEWMathScript. It may be possible to implement modules using physical hardware that incorporates discrete or programmable analog, digital and/or quantum hardware. Examples of programmable hardware comprise: computers, microcontrollers, microprocessors, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs); field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs); and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs). Computers, microcontrollers and microprocessors are programmed using languages such as assembly, C, C++ or the like. FPGAs, ASICs and CPLDs are often programmed using hardware description languages (HDL) such as VHSIC hardware description language (VHDL) or Verilog that configure connections between internal hardware modules with lesser functionality on a programmable device. The mentioned technologies are often used in combination to achieve the result of a functional module. 
       FIG. 1A  illustrates an example of a mobile communication network  100  in which embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented. The mobile communication network  100  may be, for example, a public land mobile network (PLMN) run by a network operator. As illustrated in  FIG. 1A , the mobile communication network  100  includes a core network (CN)  102 , a radio access network (RAN)  104 , and a wireless device  106 . 
     The CN  102  may provide the wireless device  106  with an interface to one or more data networks (DNs), such as public DNs (e.g., the Internet), private DNs, and/or intra-operator DNs. As part of the interface functionality, the CN  102  may set up end-to-end connections between the wireless device  106  and the one or more DNs, authenticate the wireless device  106 , and provide charging functionality. 
     The RAN  104  may connect the CN  102  to the wireless device  106  through radio communications over an air interface. As part of the radio communications, the RAN  104  may provide scheduling, radio resource management, and retransmission protocols. The communication direction from the RAN  104  to the wireless device  106  over the air interface is known as the downlink and the communication direction from the wireless device  106  to the RAN  104  over the air interface is known as the uplink. Downlink transmissions may be separated from uplink transmissions using frequency division duplexing (FDD), time-division duplexing (TDD), and/or some combination of the two duplexing techniques. 
     The term wireless device may be used throughout this disclosure to refer to and encompass any mobile device or fixed (non-mobile) device for which wireless communication is needed or usable. For example, a wireless device may be a telephone, smart phone, tablet, computer, laptop, sensor, meter, wearable device, Internet of Things (IoT) device, vehicle road side unit (RSU), relay node, automobile, and/or any combination thereof. The term wireless device encompasses other terminology, including user equipment (UE), user terminal (UT), access terminal (AT), mobile station, handset, wireless transmit and receive unit (WTRU), and/or wireless communication device. 
     The RAN  104  may include one or more base stations (not shown). The term base station may be used throughout this disclosure to refer to and encompass a Node B (associated with UMTS and/or 3G standards), an Evolved Node B (eNB, associated with E-UTRA and/or 4G standards), a remote radio head (RRH), a baseband processing unit coupled to one or more RRHs, a repeater node or relay node used to extend the coverage area of a donor node, a Next Generation Evolved Node B (ng-eNB), a Generation Node B (gNB, associated with NR and/or 5G standards), an access point (AP, associated with, for example, WiFi or any other suitable wireless communication standard), and/or any combination thereof. A base station may comprise at least one gNB Central Unit (gNB-CU) and at least one a gNB Distributed Unit (gNB-DU). 
     A base station included in the RAN  104  may include one or more sets of antennas for communicating with the wireless device  106  over the air interface. For example, one or more of the base stations may include three sets of antennas to respectively control three cells (or sectors). The size of a cell may be determined by a range at which a receiver (e.g., a base station receiver) can successfully receive the transmissions from a transmitter (e.g., a wireless device transmitter) operating in the cell. Together, the cells of the base stations may provide radio coverage to the wireless device  106  over a wide geographic area to support wireless device mobility. 
     In addition to three-sector sites, other implementations of base stations are possible. For example, one or more of the base stations in the RAN  104  may be implemented as a sectored site with more or less than three sectors. One or more of the base stations in the RAN  104  may be implemented as an access point, as a baseband processing unit coupled to several remote radio heads (RRHs), and/or as a repeater or relay node used to extend the coverage area of a donor node. A baseband processing unit coupled to RRHs may be part of a centralized or cloud RAN architecture, where the baseband processing unit may be either centralized in a pool of baseband processing units or virtualized. A repeater node may amplify and rebroadcast a radio signal received from a donor node. A relay node may perform the same/similar functions as a repeater node but may decode the radio signal received from the donor node to remove noise before amplifying and rebroadcasting the radio signal. 
     The RAN  104  may be deployed as a homogenous network of macrocell base stations that have similar antenna patterns and similar high-level transmit powers. The RAN  104  may be deployed as a heterogeneous network. In heterogeneous networks, small cell base stations may be used to provide small coverage areas, for example, coverage areas that overlap with the comparatively larger coverage areas provided by macrocell base stations. The small coverage areas may be provided in areas with high data traffic (or so-called “hotspots”) or in areas with weak macrocell coverage. Examples of small cell base stations include, in order of decreasing coverage area, microcell base stations, picocell base stations, and femtocell base stations or home base stations. 
     The Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) was formed in 1998 to provide global standardization of specifications for mobile communication networks similar to the mobile communication network  100  in  FIG. 1A . To date, 3GPP has produced specifications for three generations of mobile networks: a third generation (3G) network known as Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), a fourth generation (4G) network known as Long-Term Evolution (LTE), and a fifth generation (5G) network known as 5G System (5GS). Embodiments of the present disclosure are described with reference to the RAN of a 3GPP 5G network, referred to as next-generation RAN (NG-RAN). Embodiments may be applicable to RANs of other mobile communication networks, such as the RAN  104  in  FIG. 1A , the RANs of earlier 3G and 4G networks, and those of future networks yet to be specified (e.g., a 3GPP 6G network). NG-RAN implements 5G radio access technology known as New Radio (NR) and may be provisioned to implement 4G radio access technology or other radio access technologies, including non-3GPP radio access technologies. 
       FIG. 1B  illustrates another example mobile communication network  150  in which embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented. Mobile communication network  150  may be, for example, a PLMN run by a network operator. As illustrated in  FIG. 1B , mobile communication network  150  includes a 5G core network (5G-CN)  152 , an NG-RAN  154 , and UEs  156 A and  156 B (collectively UEs  156 ). These components may be implemented and operate in the same or similar manner as corresponding components described with respect to  FIG. 1A . 
     The 5G-CN  152  provides the UEs  156  with an interface to one or more DNs, such as public DNs (e.g., the Internet), private DNs, and/or intra-operator DNs. As part of the interface functionality, the 5G-CN  152  may set up end-to-end connections between the UEs  156  and the one or more DNs, authenticate the UEs  156 , and provide charging functionality. Compared to the CN of a 3GPP 4G network, the basis of the 5G-CN  152  may be a service-based architecture. This means that the architecture of the nodes making up the 5G-CN  152  may be defined as network functions that offer services via interfaces to other network functions. The network functions of the 5G-CN  152  may be implemented in several ways, including as network elements on dedicated or shared hardware, as software instances running on dedicated or shared hardware, or as virtualized functions instantiated on a platform (e.g., a cloud-based platform). 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 1B , the 5G-CN  152  includes an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF)  158 A and a User Plane Function (UPF)  158 B, which are shown as one component AMF/UPF  158  in  FIG. 1B  for ease of illustration. The UPF  158 B may serve as a gateway between the NG-RAN  154  and the one or more DNs. The UPF  158 B may perform functions such as packet routing and forwarding, packet inspection and user plane policy rule enforcement, traffic usage reporting, uplink classification to support routing of traffic flows to the one or more DNs, quality of service (QoS) handling for the user plane (e.g., packet filtering, gating, uplink/downlink rate enforcement, and uplink traffic verification), downlink packet buffering, and downlink data notification triggering. The UPF  158 B may serve as an anchor point for intra-/inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT) mobility, an external protocol (or packet) data unit (PDU) session point of interconnect to the one or more DNs, and/or a branching point to support a multi-homed PDU session. The UEs  156  may be configured to receive services through a PDU session, which is a logical connection between a UE and a DN. 
     The AMF  158 A may perform functions such as Non-Access Stratum (NAS) signaling termination, NAS signaling security, Access Stratum (AS) security control, inter-CN node signaling for mobility between 3GPP access networks, idle mode UE reachability (e.g., control and execution of paging retransmission), registration area management, intra-system and inter-system mobility support, access authentication, access authorization including checking of roaming rights, mobility management control (subscription and policies), network slicing support, and/or session management function (SMF) selection. NAS may refer to the functionality operating between a CN and a UE, and AS may refer to the functionality operating between the UE and a RAN. 
     The 5G-CN  152  may include one or more additional network functions that are not shown in  FIG. 1B  for the sake of clarity. For example, the 5G-CN  152  may include one or more of a Session Management Function (SMF), an NR Repository Function (NRF), a Policy Control Function (PCF), a Network Exposure Function (NEF), a Unified Data Management (UDM), an Application Function (AF), and/or an Authentication Server Function (AUSF). 
     The NG-RAN  154  may connect the 5G-CN  152  to the UEs  156  through radio communications over the air interface. The NG-RAN  154  may include one or more gNBs, illustrated as gNB  160 A and gNB  160 B (collectively gNBs  160 ) and/or one or more ng-eNBs, illustrated as ng-eNB  162 A and ng-eNB  162 B (collectively ng-eNBs  162 ). The gNBs  160  and ng-eNBs  162  may be more generically referred to as base stations. The gNBs  160  and ng-eNBs  162  may include one or more sets of antennas for communicating with the UEs  156  over an air interface. For example, one or more of the gNBs  160  and/or one or more of the ng-eNBs  162  may include three sets of antennas to respectively control three cells (or sectors). Together, the cells of the gNBs  160  and the ng-eNBs  162  may provide radio coverage to the UEs  156  over a wide geographic area to support UE mobility. 
     As shown in  FIG. 1B , the gNBs  160  and/or the ng-eNBs  162  may be connected to the 5G-CN  152  by means of an NG interface and to other base stations by an Xn interface. The NG and Xn interfaces may be established using direct physical connections and/or indirect connections over an underlying transport network, such as an internet protocol (IP) transport network. The gNBs  160  and/or the ng-eNBs  162  may be connected to the UEs  156  by means of a Uu interface. For example, as illustrated in  FIG. 1B , gNB  160 A may be connected to the UE  156 A by means of a Uu interface. The NG, Xn, and Uu interfaces are associated with a protocol stack. The protocol stacks associated with the interfaces may be used by the network elements in  FIG. 1B  to exchange data and signaling messages and may include two planes: a user plane and a control plane. The user plane may handle data of interest to a user. The control plane may handle signaling messages of interest to the network elements. 
     The gNBs  160  and/or the ng-eNBs  162  may be connected to one or more AMF/UPF functions of the 5G-CN  152 , such as the AMF/UPF  158 , by means of one or more NG interfaces. For example, the gNB  160 A may be connected to the UPF  158 B of the AMF/UPF  158  by means of an NG-User plane (NG-U) interface. The NG-U interface may provide delivery (e.g., non-guaranteed delivery) of user plane PDUs between the gNB  160 A and the UPF  158 B. The gNB  160 A may be connected to the AMF  158 A by means of an NG-Control plane (NG-C) interface. The NG-C interface may provide, for example, NG interface management, UE context management, UE mobility management, transport of NAS messages, paging, PDU session management, and configuration transfer and/or warning message transmission. 
     The gNBs  160  may provide NR user plane and control plane protocol terminations towards the UEs  156  over the Uu interface. For example, the gNB  160 A may provide NR user plane and control plane protocol terminations toward the UE  156 A over a Uu interface associated with a first protocol stack. The ng-eNBs  162  may provide Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) user plane and control plane protocol terminations towards the UEs  156  over a Uu interface, where E-UTRA refers to the 3GPP 4G radio-access technology. For example, the ng-eNB  162 B may provide E-UTRA user plane and control plane protocol terminations towards the UE  156 B over a Uu interface associated with a second protocol stack. 
     The 5G-CN  152  was described as being configured to handle NR and 4G radio accesses. It will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that it may be possible for NR to connect to a 4G core network in a mode known as “non-standalone operation.” In non-standalone operation, a 4G core network is used to provide (or at least support) control-plane functionality (e.g., initial access, mobility, and paging). Although only one AMF/UPF  158  is shown in  FIG. 1B , one gNB or ng-eNB may be connected to multiple AMF/UPF nodes to provide redundancy and/or to load share across the multiple AMF/UPF nodes. 
     As discussed, an interface (e.g., Uu, Xn, and NG interfaces) between the network elements in  FIG. 1B  may be associated with a protocol stack that the network elements use to exchange data and signaling messages. A protocol stack may include two planes: a user plane and a control plane. The user plane may handle data of interest to a user, and the control plane may handle signaling messages of interest to the network elements. 
       FIG. 2A  and  FIG. 2B  respectively illustrate examples of NR user plane and NR control plane protocol stacks for the Uu interface that lies between a UE  210  and a gNB  220 . The protocol stacks illustrated in  FIG. 2A  and  FIG. 2B  may be the same or similar to those used for the Uu interface between, for example, the UE  156 A and the gNB  160 A shown in  FIG. 1B . 
       FIG. 2A  illustrates a NR user plane protocol stack comprising five layers implemented in the UE  210  and the gNB  220 . At the bottom of the protocol stack, physical layers (PHYs)  211  and  221  may provide transport services to the higher layers of the protocol stack and may correspond to layer 1 of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. The next four protocols above PHYs  211  and  221  comprise media access control layers (MACs)  212  and  222 , radio link control layers (RLCs)  213  and  223 , packet data convergence protocol layers (PDCPs)  214  and  224 , and service data application protocol layers (SDAPs)  215  and  225 . Together, these four protocols may make up layer 2, or the data link layer, of the OSI model. 
       FIG. 3  illustrates an example of services provided between protocol layers of the NR user plane protocol stack. Starting from the top of  FIG. 2A  and  FIG. 3 , the SDAPs  215  and  225  may perform QoS flow handling. The UE  210  may receive services through a PDU session, which may be a logical connection between the UE  210  and a DN. The PDU session may have one or more QoS flows. A UPF of a CN (e.g., the UPF  158 B) may map IP packets to the one or more QoS flows of the PDU session based on QoS requirements (e.g., in terms of delay, data rate, and/or error rate). The SDAPs  215  and  225  may perform mapping/de-mapping between the one or more QoS flows and one or more data radio bearers. The mapping/de-mapping between the QoS flows and the data radio bearers may be determined by the SDAP  225  at the gNB  220 . The SDAP  215  at the UE  210  may be informed of the mapping between the QoS flows and the data radio bearers through reflective mapping or control signaling received from the gNB  220 . For reflective mapping, the SDAP  225  at the gNB  220  may mark the downlink packets with a QoS flow indicator (QFI), which may be observed by the SDAP  215  at the UE  210  to determine the mapping/de-mapping between the QoS flows and the data radio bearers. 
     The PDCPs  214  and  224  may perform header compression/decompression to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the air interface, ciphering/deciphering to prevent unauthorized decoding of data transmitted over the air interface, and integrity protection (to ensure control messages originate from intended sources. The PDCPs  214  and  224  may perform retransmissions of undelivered packets, in-sequence delivery and reordering of packets, and removal of packets received in duplicate due to, for example, an intra-gNB handover. The PDCPs  214  and  224  may perform packet duplication to improve the likelihood of the packet being received and, at the receiver, remove any duplicate packets. Packet duplication may be useful for services that require high reliability. 
     Although not shown in  FIG. 3 , PDCPs  214  and  224  may perform mapping/de-mapping between a split radio bearer and RLC channels in a dual connectivity scenario. Dual connectivity is a technique that allows a UE to connect to two cells or, more generally, two cell groups: a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG). A split bearer is when a single radio bearer, such as one of the radio bearers provided by the PDCPs  214  and  224  as a service to the SDAPs  215  and  225 , is handled by cell groups in dual connectivity. The PDCPs  214  and  224  may map/de-map the split radio bearer between RLC channels belonging to cell groups. 
     The RLCs  213  and  223  may perform segmentation, retransmission through Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ), and removal of duplicate data units received from MACs  212  and  222 , respectively. The RLCs  213  and  223  may support three transmission modes: transparent mode (TM); unacknowledged mode (UM); and acknowledged mode (AM). Based on the transmission mode an RLC is operating, the RLC may perform one or more of the noted functions. The RLC configuration may be per logical channel with no dependency on numerologies and/or Transmission Time Interval (TTI) durations. As shown in  FIG. 3 , the RLCs  213  and  223  may provide RLC channels as a service to PDCPs  214  and  224 , respectively. 
     The MACs  212  and  222  may perform multiplexing/demultiplexing of logical channels and/or mapping between logical channels and transport channels. The multiplexing/demultiplexing may include multiplexing/demultiplexing of data units, belonging to the one or more logical channels, into/from Transport Blocks (TBs) delivered to/from the PHYs  211  and  221 . The MAC  222  may be configured to perform scheduling, scheduling information reporting, and priority handling between UEs by means of dynamic scheduling. Scheduling may be performed in the gNB  220  (at the MAC  222 ) for downlink and uplink. The MACs  212  and  222  may be configured to perform error correction through Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) (e.g., one HARQ entity per carrier in case of Carrier Aggregation (CA)), priority handling between logical channels of the UE  210  by means of logical channel prioritization, and/or padding. The MACs  212  and  222  may support one or more numerologies and/or transmission timings. In an example, mapping restrictions in a logical channel prioritization may control which numerology and/or transmission timing a logical channel may use. As shown in  FIG. 3 , the MACs  212  and  222  may provide logical channels as a service to the RLCs  213  and  223 . 
     The PHYs  211  and  221  may perform mapping of transport channels to physical channels and digital and analog signal processing functions for sending and receiving information over the air interface. These digital and analog signal processing functions may include, for example, coding/decoding and modulation/demodulation. The PHYs  211  and  221  may perform multi-antenna mapping. As shown in  FIG. 3 , the PHYs  211  and  221  may provide one or more transport channels as a service to the MACs  212  and  222 . 
       FIG. 4A  illustrates an example downlink data flow through the NR user plane protocol stack.  FIG. 4A  illustrates a downlink data flow of three IP packets (n, n+1, and m) through the NR user plane protocol stack to generate two TBs at the gNB  220 . An uplink data flow through the NR user plane protocol stack may be similar to the downlink data flow depicted in  FIG. 4A . 
     The downlink data flow of  FIG. 4A  begins when SDAP  225  receives the three IP packets from one or more QoS flows and maps the three packets to radio bearers. In  FIG. 4A , the SDAP  225  maps IP packets n and n+1 to a first radio bearer  402  and maps IP packet m to a second radio bearer  404 . An SDAP header (labeled with an “H” in  FIG. 4A ) is added to an IP packet. The data unit from/to a higher protocol layer is referred to as a service data unit (SDU) of the lower protocol layer and the data unit to/from a lower protocol layer is referred to as a protocol data unit (PDU) of the higher protocol layer. As shown in  FIG. 4A , the data unit from the SDAP  225  is an SDU of lower protocol layer PDCP  224  and is a PDU of the SDAP  225 . 
     The remaining protocol layers in  FIG. 4A  may perform their associated functionality (e.g., with respect to  FIG. 3 ), add corresponding headers, and forward their respective outputs to the next lower layer. For example, the PDCP  224  may perform IP-header compression and ciphering and forward its output to the RLC  223 . The RLC  223  may optionally perform segmentation (e.g., as shown for IP packet m in  FIG. 4A ) and forward its output to the MAC  222 . The MAC  222  may multiplex a number of RLC PDUs and may attach a MAC subheader to an RLC PDU to form a transport block. In NR, the MAC subheaders may be distributed across the MAC PDU, as illustrated in  FIG. 4A . In LTE, the MAC subheaders may be entirely located at the beginning of the MAC PDU. The NR MAC PDU structure may reduce processing time and associated latency because the MAC PDU subheaders may be computed before the full MAC PDU is assembled. 
       FIG. 4B  illustrates an example format of a MAC subheader in a MAC PDU. The MAC subheader includes: an SDU length field for indicating the length (e.g., in bytes) of the MAC SDU to which the MAC subheader corresponds; a logical channel identifier (LCID) field for identifying the logical channel from which the MAC SDU originated to aid in the demultiplexing process; a flag (F) for indicating the size of the SDU length field; and a reserved bit (R) field for future use. 
       FIG. 4B  further illustrates MAC control elements (CEs) inserted into the MAC PDU by a MAC, such as MAC  223  or MAC  222 . For example,  FIG. 4B  illustrates two MAC CEs inserted into the MAC PDU. MAC CEs may be inserted at the beginning of a MAC PDU for downlink transmissions (as shown in  FIG. 4B ) and at the end of a MAC PDU for uplink transmissions. MAC CEs may be used for in-band control signaling. Example MAC CEs include: scheduling-related MAC CEs, such as buffer status reports and power headroom reports; activation/deactivation MAC CEs, such as those for activation/deactivation of PDCP duplication detection, channel state information (CSI) reporting, sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission, and prior configured components; discontinuous reception (DRX) related MAC CEs; timing advance MAC CEs; and random access related MAC CEs. A MAC CE may be preceded by a MAC subheader with a similar format as described for MAC SDUs and may be identified with a reserved value in the LCID field that indicates the type of control information included in the MAC CE. 
     Before describing the NR control plane protocol stack, logical channels, transport channels, and physical channels are first described as well as a mapping between the channel types. One or more of the channels may be used to carry out functions associated with the NR control plane protocol stack described later below. 
       FIG. 5A  and  FIG. 5B  illustrate, for downlink and uplink respectively, a mapping between logical channels, transport channels, and physical channels. Information is passed through channels between the RLC, the MAC, and the PHY of the NR protocol stack. A logical channel may be used between the RLC and the MAC and may be classified as a control channel that carries control and configuration information in the NR control plane or as a traffic channel that carries data in the NR user plane. A logical channel may be classified as a dedicated logical channel that is dedicated to a specific UE or as a common logical channel that may be used by more than one UE. A logical channel may also be defined by the type of information it carries. The set of logical channels defined by NR include, for example:
         a paging control channel (PCCH) for carrying paging messages used to page a UE whose location is not known to the network on a cell level;   a broadcast control channel (BCCH) for carrying system information messages in the form of a master information block (MIB) and several system information blocks (SIBs), wherein the system information messages may be used by the UEs to obtain information about how a cell is configured and how to operate within the cell;   a common control channel (CCCH) for carrying control messages together with random access;   a dedicated control channel (DCCH) for carrying control messages to/from a specific the UE to configure the UE; and   a dedicated traffic channel (DTCH) for carrying user data to/from a specific the UE.       

     Transport channels are used between the MAC and PHY layers and may be defined by how the information they carry is transmitted over the air interface. The set of transport channels defined by NR include, for example:
         a paging channel (PCH) for carrying paging messages that originated from the PCCH;   a broadcast channel (BCH) for carrying the MIB from the BCCH;   a downlink shared channel (DL-SCH) for carrying downlink data and signaling messages, including the SIBs from the BCCH;   an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) for carrying uplink data and signaling messages; and   a random access channel (RACH) for allowing a UE to contact the network without any prior scheduling.       

     The PHY may use physical channels to pass information between processing levels of the PHY. A physical channel may have an associated set of time-frequency resources for carrying the information of one or more transport channels. The PHY may generate control information to support the low-level operation of the PHY and provide the control information to the lower levels of the PHY via physical control channels, known as L1/L2 control channels. The set of physical channels and physical control channels defined by NR include, for example:
         a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) for carrying the MIB from the BCH;   a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) for carrying downlink data and signaling messages from the DL-SCH, as well as paging messages from the PCH;   a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for carrying downlink control information (DCI), which may include downlink scheduling commands, uplink scheduling grants, and uplink power control commands;   a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for carrying uplink data and signaling messages from the UL-SCH and in some instances uplink control information (UCI) as described below;   a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for carrying UCI, which may include HARQ acknowledgments, channel quality indicators (CQI), pre-coding matrix indicators (PMI), rank indicators (RI), and scheduling requests (SR); and   a physical random access channel (PRACH) for random access.       

     Similar to the physical control channels, the physical layer generates physical signals to support the low-level operation of the physical layer. As shown in  FIG. 5A  and  FIG. 5B , the physical layer signals defined by NR include: primary synchronization signals (PSS), secondary synchronization signals (SSS), channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS), demodulation reference signals (DMRS), sounding reference signals (SRS), and phase-tracking reference signals (PT-RS). These physical layer signals will be described in greater detail below. 
       FIG. 2B  illustrates an example NR control plane protocol stack. As shown in  FIG. 2B , the NR control plane protocol stack may use the same/similar first four protocol layers as the example NR user plane protocol stack. These four protocol layers include the PHYs  211  and  221 , the MACs  212  and  222 , the RLCs  213  and  223 , and the PDCPs  214  and  224 . Instead of having the SDAPs  215  and  225  at the top of the stack as in the NR user plane protocol stack, the NR control plane stack has radio resource controls (RRCs)  216  and  226  and NAS protocols  217  and  237  at the top of the NR control plane protocol stack. 
     The NAS protocols  217  and  237  may provide control plane functionality between the UE  210  and the AMF  230  (e.g., the AMF  158 A) or, more generally, between the UE  210  and the CN. The NAS protocols  217  and  237  may provide control plane functionality between the UE  210  and the AMF  230  via signaling messages, referred to as NAS messages. There is no direct path between the UE  210  and the AMF  230  through which the NAS messages can be transported. The NAS messages may be transported using the AS of the Uu and NG interfaces. NAS protocols  217  and  237  may provide control plane functionality such as authentication, security, connection setup, mobility management, and session management. 
     The RRCs  216  and  226  may provide control plane functionality between the UE  210  and the gNB  220  or, more generally, between the UE  210  and the RAN. The RRCs  216  and  226  may provide control plane functionality between the UE  210  and the gNB  220  via signaling messages, referred to as RRC messages. RRC messages may be transmitted between the UE  210  and the RAN using signaling radio bearers and the same/similar PDCP, RLC, MAC, and PHY protocol layers. The MAC may multiplex control-plane and user-plane data into the same transport block (TB). The RRCs  216  and  226  may provide control plane functionality such as: broadcast of system information related to AS and NAS; paging initiated by the CN or the RAN; establishment, maintenance and release of an RRC connection between the UE  210  and the RAN; security functions including key management; establishment, configuration, maintenance and release of signaling radio bearers and data radio bearers; mobility functions; QoS management functions; the UE measurement reporting and control of the reporting; detection of and recovery from radio link failure (RLF); and/or NAS message transfer. As part of establishing an RRC connection, RRCs  216  and  226  may establish an RRC context, which may involve configuring parameters for communication between the UE  210  and the RAN. 
       FIG. 6  is an example diagram showing RRC state transitions of a UE. The UE may be the same or similar to the wireless device  106  depicted in  FIG. 1A , the UE  210  depicted in  FIG. 2A  and  FIG. 2B , or any other wireless device described in the present disclosure. As illustrated in  FIG. 6 , a UE may be in at least one of three RRC states: RRC connected  602  (e.g., RRC_CONNECTED), RRC idle  604  (e.g., RRC_IDLE), and RRC inactive  606  (e.g., RRC_INACTIVE). 
     In RRC connected  602 , the UE has an established RRC context and may have at least one RRC connection with a base station. The base station may be similar to one of the one or more base stations included in the RAN  104  depicted in  FIG. 1A , one of the gNB s  160  or ng-eNB s  162  depicted in  FIG. 1B , the gNB  220  depicted in  FIG. 2A  and  FIG. 2B , or any other base station described in the present disclosure. The base station with which the UE is connected may have the RRC context for the UE. The RRC context, referred to as the UE context, may comprise parameters for communication between the UE and the base station. These parameters may include, for example: one or more AS contexts; one or more radio link configuration parameters; bearer configuration information (e.g., relating to a data radio bearer, signaling radio bearer, logical channel, QoS flow, and/or PDU session); security information; and/or PHY, MAC, RLC, PDCP, and/or SDAP layer configuration information. While in RRC connected  602 , mobility of the UE may be managed by the RAN (e.g., the RAN  104  or the NG-RAN  154 ). The UE may measure the signal levels (e.g., reference signal levels) from a serving cell and neighboring cells and report these measurements to the base station currently serving the UE. The UE&#39;s serving base station may request a handover to a cell of one of the neighboring base stations based on the reported measurements. The RRC state may transition from RRC connected  602  to RRC idle  604  through a connection release procedure  608  or to RRC inactive  606  through a connection inactivation procedure  610 . 
     In RRC idle  604 , an RRC context may not be established for the UE. In RRC idle  604 , the UE may not have an RRC connection with the base station. While in RRC idle  604 , the UE may be in a sleep state for the majority of the time (e.g., to conserve battery power). The UE may wake up periodically (e.g., once in every discontinuous reception cycle) to monitor for paging messages from the RAN. Mobility of the UE may be managed by the UE through a procedure known as cell reselection. The RRC state may transition from RRC idle  604  to RRC connected  602  through a connection establishment procedure  612 , which may involve a random access procedure as discussed in greater detail below. 
     In RRC inactive  606 , the RRC context previously established is maintained in the UE and the base station. This allows for a fast transition to RRC connected  602  with reduced signaling overhead as compared to the transition from RRC idle  604  to RRC connected  602 . While in RRC inactive  606 , the UE may be in a sleep state and mobility of the UE may be managed by the UE through cell reselection. The RRC state may transition from RRC inactive  606  to RRC connected  602  through a connection resume procedure  614  or to RRC idle  604  though a connection release procedure  616  that may be the same as or similar to connection release procedure  608 . 
     An RRC state may be associated with a mobility management mechanism. In RRC idle  604  and RRC inactive  606 , mobility is managed by the UE through cell reselection. The purpose of mobility management in RRC idle  604  and RRC inactive  606  is to allow the network to be able to notify the UE of an event via a paging message without having to broadcast the paging message over the entire mobile communications network. The mobility management mechanism used in RRC idle  604  and RRC inactive  606  may allow the network to track the UE on a cell-group level so that the paging message may be broadcast over the cells of the cell group that the UE currently resides within instead of the entire mobile communication network. The mobility management mechanisms for RRC idle  604  and RRC inactive  606  track the UE on a cell-group level. They may do so using different granularities of grouping. For example, there may be three levels of cell-grouping granularity: individual cells; cells within a RAN area identified by a RAN area identifier (RAI); and cells within a group of RAN areas, referred to as a tracking area and identified by a tracking area identifier (TAI). 
     Tracking areas may be used to track the UE at the CN level. The CN (e.g., the CN  102  or the 5G-CN  152 ) may provide the UE with a list of TAIs associated with a UE registration area. If the UE moves, through cell reselection, to a cell associated with a TAI not included in the list of TAIs associated with the UE registration area, the UE may perform a registration update with the CN to allow the CN to update the UE&#39;s location and provide the UE with a new the UE registration area. 
     RAN areas may be used to track the UE at the RAN level. For a UE in RRC inactive  606  state, the UE may be assigned a RAN notification area. A RAN notification area may comprise one or more cell identities, a list of RAIs, or a list of TAIs. In an example, a base station may belong to one or more RAN notification areas. In an example, a cell may belong to one or more RAN notification areas. If the UE moves, through cell reselection, to a cell not included in the RAN notification area assigned to the UE, the UE may perform a notification area update with the RAN to update the UE&#39;s RAN notification area. 
     A base station storing an RRC context for a UE or a last serving base station of the UE may be referred to as an anchor base station. An anchor base station may maintain an RRC context for the UE at least during a period of time that the UE stays in a RAN notification area of the anchor base station and/or during a period of time that the UE stays in RRC inactive  606 . 
     A gNB, such as gNBs  160  in  FIG. 1B , may be split in two parts: a central unit (gNB-CU), and one or more distributed units (gNB-DU). A gNB-CU may be coupled to one or more gNB-DUs using an F1 interface. The gNB-CU may comprise the RRC, the PDCP, and the SDAP. A gNB-DU may comprise the RLC, the MAC, and the PHY. 
     In NR, the physical signals and physical channels (discussed with respect to  FIG. 5A  and  FIG. 5B ) may be mapped onto orthogonal frequency divisional multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. OFDM is a multicarrier communication scheme that transmits data over F orthogonal subcarriers (or tones). Before transmission, the data may be mapped to a series of complex symbols (e.g., M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) or M-phase shift keying (M-PSK) symbols), referred to as source symbols, and divided into F parallel symbol streams. The F parallel symbol streams may be treated as though they are in the frequency domain and used as inputs to an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) block that transforms them into the time domain. The IFFT block may take in F source symbols at a time, one from each of the F parallel symbol streams, and use each source symbol to modulate the amplitude and phase of one of F sinusoidal basis functions that correspond to the F orthogonal subcarriers. The output of the IFFT block may be F time-domain samples that represent the summation of the F orthogonal subcarriers. The F time-domain samples may form a single OFDM symbol. After some processing (e.g., addition of a cyclic prefix) and up-conversion, an OFDM symbol provided by the IFFT block may be transmitted over the air interface on a carrier frequency. The F parallel symbol streams may be mixed using an FFT block before being processed by the IFFT block. This operation produces Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)-precoded OFDM symbols and may be used by UEs in the uplink to reduce the peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Inverse processing may be performed on the OFDM symbol at a receiver using an FFT block to recover the data mapped to the source symbols. 
       FIG. 7  illustrates an example configuration of an NR frame into which OFDM symbols are grouped. An NR frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN). The SFN may repeat with a period of 1024 frames. As illustrated, one NR frame may be 10 milliseconds (ms) in duration and may include 10 subframes that are 1 ms in duration. A subframe may be divided into slots that include, for example, 14 OFDM symbols per slot. 
     The duration of a slot may depend on the numerology used for the OFDM symbols of the slot. In NR, a flexible numerology is supported to accommodate different cell deployments (e.g., cells with carrier frequencies below 1 GHz up to cells with carrier frequencies in the mm-wave range). A numerology may be defined in terms of subcarrier spacing and cyclic prefix duration. For a numerology in NR, subcarrier spacings may be scaled up by powers of two from a baseline subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz, and cyclic prefix durations may be scaled down by powers of two from a baseline cyclic prefix duration of 4.7 μs. For example, NR defines numerologies with the following subcarrier spacing/cyclic prefix duration combinations: 15 kHz/4.7 μs; 30 kHz/2.3 μs; 60 kHz/1.2 μs; 120 kHz/0.59 μs; and 240 kHz/0.29 μs. 
     A slot may have a fixed number of OFDM symbols (e.g., 14 OFDM symbols). A numerology with a higher subcarrier spacing has a shorter slot duration and, correspondingly, more slots per subframe.  FIG. 7  illustrates this numerology-dependent slot duration and slots-per-subframe transmission structure (the numerology with a subcarrier spacing of 240 kHz is not shown in  FIG. 7  for ease of illustration). A subframe in NR may be used as a numerology-independent time reference, while a slot may be used as the unit upon which uplink and downlink transmissions are scheduled. To support low latency, scheduling in NR may be decoupled from the slot duration and start at any OFDM symbol and last for as many symbols as needed for a transmission. These partial slot transmissions may be referred to as mini-slot or subslot transmissions. 
       FIG. 8  illustrates an example configuration of a slot in the time and frequency domain for an NR carrier. The slot includes resource elements (REs) and resource blocks (RBs). An RE is the smallest physical resource in NR. An RE spans one OFDM symbol in the time domain by one subcarrier in the frequency domain as shown in  FIG. 8 . An RB spans twelve consecutive REs in the frequency domain as shown in  FIG. 8 . An NR carrier may be limited to a width of 275 RBs or 275×12=3300 subcarriers. Such a limitation, if used, may limit the NR carrier to 50, 100, 200, and 400 MHz for subcarrier spacings of 15, 30, 60, and 120 kHz, respectively, where the 400 MHz bandwidth may be set based on a 400 MHz per carrier bandwidth limit. 
       FIG. 8  illustrates a single numerology being used across the entire bandwidth of the NR carrier. In other example configurations, multiple numerologies may be supported on the same carrier. 
     NR may support wide carrier bandwidths (e.g., up to 400 MHz for a subcarrier spacing of 120 kHz). Not all UEs may be able to receive the full carrier bandwidth (e.g., due to hardware limitations). Also, receiving the full carrier bandwidth may be prohibitive in terms of UE power consumption. In an example, to reduce power consumption and/or for other purposes, a UE may adapt the size of the UE&#39;s receive bandwidth based on the amount of traffic the UE is scheduled to receive. This is referred to as bandwidth adaptation. 
     NR defines bandwidth parts (BWPs) to support UEs not capable of receiving the full carrier bandwidth and to support bandwidth adaptation. In an example, a BWP may be defined by a subset of contiguous RBs on a carrier. A UE may be configured (e.g., via RRC layer) with one or more downlink BWPs and one or more uplink BWPs per serving cell (e.g., up to four downlink BWPs and up to four uplink BWPs per serving cell). At a given time, one or more of the configured BWPs for a serving cell may be active. These one or more BWPs may be referred to as active BWPs of the serving cell. When a serving cell is configured with a secondary uplink carrier, the serving cell may have one or more first active BWPs in the uplink carrier and one or more second active BWPs in the secondary uplink carrier. 
     For unpaired spectra, a downlink BWP from a set of configured downlink BWPs may be linked with an uplink BWP from a set of configured uplink BWPs if a downlink BWP index of the downlink BWP and an uplink BWP index of the uplink BWP are the same. For unpaired spectra, a UE may expect that a center frequency for a downlink BWP is the same as a center frequency for an uplink BWP. 
     For a downlink BWP in a set of configured downlink BWPs on a primary cell (PCell), a base station may configure a UE with one or more control resource sets (CORESETs) for at least one search space. A search space is a set of locations in the time and frequency domains where the UE may find control information. The search space may be a UE-specific search space or a common search space (potentially usable by a plurality of UEs). For example, a base station may configure a UE with a common search space, on a PCell or on a primary secondary cell (PSCell), in an active downlink BWP. 
     For an uplink BWP in a set of configured uplink BWPs, a BS may configure a UE with one or more resource sets for one or more PUCCH transmissions. A UE may receive downlink receptions (e.g., PDCCH or PDSCH) in a downlink BWP according to a configured numerology (e.g., subcarrier spacing and cyclic prefix duration) for the downlink BWP. The UE may transmit uplink transmissions (e.g., PUCCH or PUSCH) in an uplink BWP according to a configured numerology (e.g., subcarrier spacing and cyclic prefix length for the uplink BWP). 
     One or more BWP indicator fields may be provided in Downlink Control Information (DCI). A value of a BWP indicator field may indicate which BWP in a set of configured BWPs is an active downlink BWP for one or more downlink receptions. The value of the one or more BWP indicator fields may indicate an active uplink BWP for one or more uplink transmissions. 
     A base station may semi-statically configure a UE with a default downlink BWP within a set of configured downlink BWPs associated with a PCell. If the base station does not provide the default downlink BWP to the UE, the default downlink BWP may be an initial active downlink BWP. The UE may determine which BWP is the initial active downlink BWP based on a CORESET configuration obtained using the PBCH. 
     A base station may configure a UE with a BWP inactivity timer value for a PCell. The UE may start or restart a BWP inactivity timer at any appropriate time. For example, the UE may start or restart the BWP inactivity timer (a) when the UE detects a DCI indicating an active downlink BWP other than a default downlink BWP for a paired spectra operation; or (b) when a UE detects a DCI indicating an active downlink BWP or active uplink BWP other than a default downlink BWP or uplink BWP for an unpaired spectra operation. If the UE does not detect DCI during an interval of time (e.g., 1 ms or 0.5 ms), the UE may run the BWP inactivity timer toward expiration (for example, increment from zero to the BWP inactivity timer value, or decrement from the BWP inactivity timer value to zero). When the BWP inactivity timer expires, the UE may switch from the active downlink BWP to the default downlink BWP. 
     In an example, a base station may semi-statically configure a UE with one or more BWPs. A UE may switch an active BWP from a first BWP to a second BWP in response to receiving a DCI indicating the second BWP as an active BWP and/or in response to an expiry of the BWP inactivity timer (e.g., if the second BWP is the default BWP). 
     Downlink and uplink BWP switching (where BWP switching refers to switching from a currently active BWP to a not currently active BWP) may be performed independently in paired spectra. In unpaired spectra, downlink and uplink BWP switching may be performed simultaneously. Switching between configured BWPs may occur based on RRC signaling, DCI, expiration of a BWP inactivity timer, and/or an initiation of random access. 
       FIG. 9  illustrates an example of bandwidth adaptation using three configured BWPs for an NR carrier. A UE configured with the three BWPs may switch from one BWP to another BWP at a switching point. In the example illustrated in  FIG. 9 , the BWPs include: a BWP  902  with a bandwidth of 40 MHz and a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz; a BWP  904  with a bandwidth of 10 MHz and a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz; and a BWP  906  with a bandwidth of 20 MHz and a subcarrier spacing of 60 kHz. The BWP  902  may be an initial active BWP, and the BWP  904  may be a default BWP. The UE may switch between BWPs at switching points. In the example of  FIG. 9 , the UE may switch from the BWP  902  to the BWP  904  at a switching point  908 . The switching at the switching point  908  may occur for any suitable reason, for example, in response to an expiry of a BWP inactivity timer (indicating switching to the default BWP) and/or in response to receiving a DCI indicating BWP  904  as the active BWP. The UE may switch at a switching point  910  from active BWP  904  to BWP  906  in response receiving a DCI indicating BWP  906  as the active BWP. The UE may switch at a switching point  912  from active BWP  906  to BWP  904  in response to an expiry of a BWP inactivity timer and/or in response receiving a DCI indicating BWP  904  as the active BWP. The UE may switch at a switching point  914  from active BWP  904  to BWP  902  in response receiving a DCI indicating BWP  902  as the active BWP. 
     If a UE is configured for a secondary cell with a default downlink BWP in a set of configured downlink BWPs and a timer value, UE procedures for switching BWPs on a secondary cell may be the same/similar as those on a primary cell. For example, the UE may use the timer value and the default downlink BWP for the secondary cell in the same/similar manner as the UE would use these values for a primary cell. 
     To provide for greater data rates, two or more carriers can be aggregated and simultaneously transmitted to/from the same UE using carrier aggregation (CA). The aggregated carriers in CA may be referred to as component carriers (CCs). When CA is used, there are a number of serving cells for the UE, one for a CC. The CCs may have three configurations in the frequency domain. 
       FIG. 10A  illustrates the three CA configurations with two CCs. In the intraband, contiguous configuration  1002 , the two CCs are aggregated in the same frequency band (frequency band A) and are located directly adjacent to each other within the frequency band. In the intraband, non-contiguous configuration  1004 , the two CCs are aggregated in the same frequency band (frequency band A) and are separated in the frequency band by a gap. In the interband configuration  1006 , the two CCs are located in frequency bands (frequency band A and frequency band B). 
     In an example, up to 32 CCs may be aggregated. The aggregated CCs may have the same or different bandwidths, subcarrier spacing, and/or duplexing schemes (TDD or FDD). A serving cell for a UE using CA may have a downlink CC. For FDD, one or more uplink CCs may be optionally configured for a serving cell. The ability to aggregate more downlink carriers than uplink carriers may be useful, for example, when the UE has more data traffic in the downlink than in the uplink. 
     When CA is used, one of the aggregated cells for a UE may be referred to as a primary cell (PCell). The PCell may be the serving cell that the UE initially connects to at RRC connection establishment, reestablishment, and/or handover. The PCell may provide the UE with NAS mobility information and the security input. UEs may have different PCells. In the downlink, the carrier corresponding to the PCell may be referred to as the downlink primary CC (DL PCC). In the uplink, the carrier corresponding to the PCell may be referred to as the uplink primary CC (UL PCC). The other aggregated cells for the UE may be referred to as secondary cells (SCells). In an example, the SCells may be configured after the PCell is configured for the UE. For example, an SCell may be configured through an RRC Connection Reconfiguration procedure. In the downlink, the carrier corresponding to an SCell may be referred to as a downlink secondary CC (DL SCC). In the uplink, the carrier corresponding to the SCell may be referred to as the uplink secondary CC (UL SCC). 
     Configured SCells for a UE may be activated and deactivated based on, for example, traffic and channel conditions. Deactivation of an SCell may mean that PDCCH and PDSCH reception on the SCell is stopped and PUSCH, SRS, and CQI transmissions on the SCell are stopped. Configured SCells may be activated and deactivated using a MAC CE with respect to  FIG. 4B . For example, a MAC CE may use a bitmap (e.g., one bit per SCell) to indicate which SCells (e.g., in a subset of configured SCells) for the UE are activated or deactivated. Configured SCells may be deactivated in response to an expiration of an SCell deactivation timer (e.g., one SCell deactivation timer per SCell). 
     Downlink control information, such as scheduling assignments and scheduling grants, for a cell may be transmitted on the cell corresponding to the assignments and grants, which is known as self-scheduling. The DCI for the cell may be transmitted on another cell, which is known as cross-carrier scheduling. Uplink control information (e.g., HARQ acknowledgments and channel state feedback, such as CQI, PMI, and/or RI) for aggregated cells may be transmitted on the PUCCH of the PCell. For a larger number of aggregated downlink CCs, the PUCCH of the PCell may become overloaded. Cells may be divided into multiple PUCCH groups. 
       FIG. 10B  illustrates an example of how aggregated cells may be configured into one or more PUCCH groups. A PUCCH group  1010  and a PUCCH group  1050  may include one or more downlink CCs, respectively. In the example of  FIG. 10B , the PUCCH group  1010  includes three downlink CCs: a PCell  1011 , an SCell  1012 , and an SCell  1013 . The PUCCH group  1050  includes three downlink CCs in the present example: a PCell  1051 , an SCell  1052 , and an SCell  1053 . One or more uplink CCs may be configured as a PCell  1021 , an SCell  1022 , and an SCell  1023 . One or more other uplink CCs may be configured as a primary Scell (PSCell)  1061 , an SCell  1062 , and an SCell  1063 . Uplink control information (UCI) related to the downlink CCs of the PUCCH group  1010 , shown as UCI  1031 , UCI  1032 , and UCI  1033 , may be transmitted in the uplink of the PCell  1021 . Uplink control information (UCI) related to the downlink CCs of the PUCCH group  1050 , shown as UCI  1071 , UCI  1072 , and UCI  1073 , may be transmitted in the uplink of the PSCell  1061 . In an example, if the aggregated cells depicted in  FIG. 10B  were not divided into the PUCCH group  1010  and the PUCCH group  1050 , a single uplink PCell to transmit UCI relating to the downlink CCs, and the PCell may become overloaded. By dividing transmissions of UCI between the PCell  1021  and the PSCell  1061 , overloading may be prevented. 
     A cell, comprising a downlink carrier and optionally an uplink carrier, may be assigned with a physical cell ID and a cell index. The physical cell ID or the cell index may identify a downlink carrier and/or an uplink carrier of the cell, for example, depending on the context in which the physical cell ID is used. A physical cell ID may be determined using a synchronization signal transmitted on a downlink component carrier. A cell index may be determined using RRC messages. In the disclosure, a physical cell ID may be referred to as a carrier ID, and a cell index may be referred to as a carrier index. For example, when the disclosure refers to a first physical cell ID for a first downlink carrier, the disclosure may mean the first physical cell ID is for a cell comprising the first downlink carrier. The same/similar concept may apply to, for example, a carrier activation. When the disclosure indicates that a first carrier is activated, the specification may mean that a cell comprising the first carrier is activated. 
     In CA, a multi-carrier nature of a PHY may be exposed to a MAC. In an example, a HARQ entity may operate on a serving cell. A transport block may be generated per assignment/grant per serving cell. A transport block and potential HARQ retransmissions of the transport block may be mapped to a serving cell. 
     In the downlink, a base station may transmit (e.g., unicast, multicast, and/or broadcast) one or more Reference Signals (RSs) to a UE (e.g., PSS, SSS, CSI-RS, DMRS, and/or PT-RS, as shown in  FIG. 5A ). In the uplink, the UE may transmit one or more RSs to the base station (e.g., DMRS, PT-RS, and/or SRS, as shown in  FIG. 5B ). The PSS and the SSS may be transmitted by the base station and used by the UE to synchronize the UE to the base station. The PSS and the SSS may be provided in a synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block that includes the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH. The base station may periodically transmit a burst of SS/PBCH blocks. 
       FIG. 11A  illustrates an example of an SS/PBCH block&#39;s structure and location. A burst of SS/PBCH blocks may include one or more SS/PBCH blocks (e.g., 4 SS/PBCH blocks, as shown in  FIG. 11A ). Bursts may be transmitted periodically (e.g., every 2 frames or 20 ms). A burst may be restricted to a half-frame (e.g., a first half-frame having a duration of 5 ms). It will be understood that  FIG. 11A  is an example, and that these parameters (number of SS/PBCH blocks per burst, periodicity of bursts, position of burst within the frame) may be configured based on, for example: a carrier frequency of a cell in which the SS/PBCH block is transmitted; a numerology or subcarrier spacing of the cell; a configuration by the network (e.g., using RRC signaling); or any other suitable factor. In an example, the UE may assume a subcarrier spacing for the SS/PBCH block based on the carrier frequency being monitored, unless the radio network configured the UE to assume a different subcarrier spacing. 
     The SS/PBCH block may span one or more OFDM symbols in the time domain (e.g., 4 OFDM symbols, as shown in the example of  FIG. 11A ) and may span one or more subcarriers in the frequency domain (e.g.,  240  contiguous subcarriers). The PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH may have a common center frequency. The PSS may be transmitted first and may span, for example, 1 OFDM symbol and 127 subcarriers. The SSS may be transmitted after the PSS (e.g., two symbols later) and may span 1 OFDM symbol and 127 subcarriers. The PBCH may be transmitted after the PSS (e.g., across the next 3 OFDM symbols) and may span 240 subcarriers. 
     The location of the SS/PBCH block in the time and frequency domains may not be known to the UE (e.g., if the UE is searching for the cell). To find and select the cell, the UE may monitor a carrier for the PSS. For example, the UE may monitor a frequency location within the carrier. If the PSS is not found after a certain duration (e.g., 20 ms), the UE may search for the PSS at a different frequency location within the carrier, as indicated by a synchronization raster. If the PSS is found at a location in the time and frequency domains, the UE may determine, based on a known structure of the SS/PBCH block, the locations of the SSS and the PBCH, respectively. The SS/PBCH block may be a cell-defining SS block (CD-SSB). In an example, a primary cell may be associated with a CD-SSB. The CD-SSB may be located on a synchronization raster. In an example, a cell selection/search and/or reselection may be based on the CD-SSB. 
     The SS/PBCH block may be used by the UE to determine one or more parameters of the cell. For example, the UE may determine a physical cell identifier (PCI) of the cell based on the sequences of the PSS and the SSS, respectively. The UE may determine a location of a frame boundary of the cell based on the location of the SS/PBCH block. For example, the SS/PBCH block may indicate that it has been transmitted in accordance with a transmission pattern, wherein a SS/PBCH block in the transmission pattern is a known distance from the frame boundary. 
     The PBCH may use a QPSK modulation and may use forward error correction (FEC). The FEC may use polar coding. One or more symbols spanned by the PBCH may carry one or more DMRSs for demodulation of the PBCH. The PBCH may include an indication of a current system frame number (SFN) of the cell and/or a SS/PBCH block timing index. These parameters may facilitate time synchronization of the UE to the base station. The PBCH may include a master information block (MIB) used to provide the UE with one or more parameters. The MIB may be used by the UE to locate remaining minimum system information (RMSI) associated with the cell. The RMSI may include a System Information Block Type 1 (SIB1). The SIB1 may contain information needed by the UE to access the cell. The UE may use one or more parameters of the MIB to monitor PDCCH, which may be used to schedule PDSCH. The PDSCH may include the SIB1. The SIB1 may be decoded using parameters provided in the MIB. The PBCH may indicate an absence of SIB1. Based on the PBCH indicating the absence of SIB1, the UE may be pointed to a frequency. The UE may search for an SS/PBCH block at the frequency to which the UE is pointed. 
     The UE may assume that one or more SS/PBCH blocks transmitted with a same SS/PBCH block index are quasi co-located (QCLed) (e.g., having the same/similar Doppler spread, Doppler shift, average gain, average delay, and/or spatial Rx parameters). The UE may not assume QCL for SS/PBCH block transmissions having different SS/PBCH block indices. SS/PBCH blocks (e.g., those within a half-frame) may be transmitted in spatial directions (e.g., using different beams that span a coverage area of the cell). In an example, a first SS/PBCH block may be transmitted in a first spatial direction using a first beam, and a second SS/PBCH block may be transmitted in a second spatial direction using a second beam. 
     In an example, within a frequency span of a carrier, a base station may transmit a plurality of SS/PBCH blocks. In an example, a first PCI of a first SS/PBCH block of the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks may be different from a second PCI of a second SS/PBCH block of the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks. The PCIs of SS/PBCH blocks transmitted in different frequency locations may be different or the same. 
     The CSI-RS may be transmitted by the base station and used by the UE to acquire channel state information (CSI). The base station may configure the UE with one or more CSI-RSs for channel estimation or any other suitable purpose. The base station may configure a UE with one or more of the same/similar CSI-RSs. The UE may measure the one or more CSI-RSs. The UE may estimate a downlink channel state and/or generate a CSI report based on the measuring of the one or more downlink CSI-RSs. The UE may provide the CSI report to the base station. The base station may use feedback provided by the UE (e.g., the estimated downlink channel state) to perform link adaptation. 
     The base station may semi-statically configure the UE with one or more CSI-RS resource sets. A CSI-RS resource may be associated with a location in the time and frequency domains and a periodicity. The base station may selectively activate and/or deactivate a CSI-RS resource. The base station may indicate to the UE that a CSI-RS resource in the CSI-RS resource set is activated and/or deactivated. 
     The base station may configure the UE to report CSI measurements. The base station may configure the UE to provide CSI reports periodically, aperiodically, or semi-persistently. For periodic CSI reporting, the UE may be configured with a timing and/or periodicity of a plurality of CSI reports. For aperiodic CSI reporting, the base station may request a CSI report. For example, the base station may command the UE to measure a configured CSI-RS resource and provide a CSI report relating to the measurements. For semi-persistent CSI reporting, the base station may configure the UE to transmit periodically, and selectively activate or deactivate the periodic reporting. The base station may configure the UE with a CSI-RS resource set and CSI reports using RRC signaling. 
     The CSI-RS configuration may comprise one or more parameters indicating, for example, up to 32 antenna ports. The UE may be configured to employ the same OFDM symbols for a downlink CSI-RS and a control resource set (CORESET) when the downlink CSI-RS and CORESET are spatially QCLed and resource elements associated with the downlink CSI-RS are outside of the physical resource blocks (PRBs) configured for the CORESET. The UE may be configured to employ the same OFDM symbols for downlink CSI-RS and SS/PBCH blocks when the downlink CSI-RS and SS/PBCH blocks are spatially QCLed and resource elements associated with the downlink CSI-RS are outside of PRBs configured for the SS/PBCH blocks. 
     Downlink DMRSs may be transmitted by a base station and used by a UE for channel estimation. For example, the downlink DMRS may be used for coherent demodulation of one or more downlink physical channels (e.g., PDSCH). An NR network may support one or more variable and/or configurable DMRS patterns for data demodulation. At least one downlink DMRS configuration may support a front-loaded DMRS pattern. A front-loaded DMRS may be mapped over one or more OFDM symbols (e.g., one or two adjacent OFDM symbols). A base station may semi-statically configure the UE with a number (e.g. a maximum number) of front-loaded DMRS symbols for PDSCH. A DMRS configuration may support one or more DMRS ports. For example, for single user-MIMO, a DMRS configuration may support up to eight orthogonal downlink DMRS ports per UE. For multiuser-MIMO, a DMRS configuration may support up to 4 orthogonal downlink DMRS ports per UE. A radio network may support (e.g., at least for CP-OFDM) a common DMRS structure for downlink and uplink, wherein a DMRS location, a DMRS pattern, and/or a scrambling sequence may be the same or different. The base station may transmit a downlink DMRS and a corresponding PDSCH using the same precoding matrix. The UE may use the one or more downlink DMRSs for coherent demodulation/channel estimation of the PDSCH. 
     In an example, a transmitter (e.g., a base station) may use a precoder matrices for a part of a transmission bandwidth. For example, the transmitter may use a first precoder matrix for a first bandwidth and a second precoder matrix for a second bandwidth. The first precoder matrix and the second precoder matrix may be different based on the first bandwidth being different from the second bandwidth. The UE may assume that a same precoding matrix is used across a set of PRBs. The set of PRBs may be denoted as a precoding resource block group (PRG). 
     A PDSCH may comprise one or more layers. The UE may assume that at least one symbol with DMRS is present on a layer of the one or more layers of the PDSCH. A higher layer may configure up to 3 DMRSs for the PDSCH. 
     Downlink PT-RS may be transmitted by a base station and used by a UE for phase-noise compensation. Whether a downlink PT-RS is present or not may depend on an RRC configuration. The presence and/or pattern of the downlink PT-RS may be configured on a UE-specific basis using a combination of RRC signaling and/or an association with one or more parameters employed for other purposes (e.g., modulation and coding scheme (MCS)), which may be indicated by DCI. When configured, a dynamic presence of a downlink PT-RS may be associated with one or more DCI parameters comprising at least MCS. An NR network may support a plurality of PT-RS densities defined in the time and/or frequency domains. When present, a frequency domain density may be associated with at least one configuration of a scheduled bandwidth. The UE may assume a same precoding for a DMRS port and a PT-RS port. A number of PT-RS ports may be fewer than a number of DMRS ports in a scheduled resource. Downlink PT-RS may be confined in the scheduled time/frequency duration for the UE. Downlink PT-RS may be transmitted on symbols to facilitate phase tracking at the receiver. 
     The UE may transmit an uplink DMRS to a base station for channel estimation. For example, the base station may use the uplink DMRS for coherent demodulation of one or more uplink physical channels. For example, the UE may transmit an uplink DMRS with a PUSCH and/or a PUCCH. The uplink DM-RS may span a range of frequencies that is similar to a range of frequencies associated with the corresponding physical channel. The base station may configure the UE with one or more uplink DMRS configurations. At least one DMRS configuration may support a front-loaded DMRS pattern. The front-loaded DMRS may be mapped over one or more OFDM symbols (e.g., one or two adjacent OFDM symbols). One or more uplink DMRSs may be configured to transmit at one or more symbols of a PUSCH and/or a PUCCH. The base station may semi-statically configure the UE with a number (e.g. maximum number) of front-loaded DMRS symbols for the PUSCH and/or the PUCCH, which the UE may use to schedule a single-symbol DMRS and/or a double-symbol DMRS. An NR network may support (e.g., for cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM)) a common DMRS structure for downlink and uplink, wherein a DMRS location, a DMRS pattern, and/or a scrambling sequence for the DMRS may be the same or different. 
     A PUSCH may comprise one or more layers, and the UE may transmit at least one symbol with DMRS present on a layer of the one or more layers of the PUSCH. In an example, a higher layer may configure up to three DMRSs for the PUSCH. 
     Uplink PT-RS (which may be used by a base station for phase tracking and/or phase-noise compensation) may or may not be present depending on an RRC configuration of the UE. The presence and/or pattern of uplink PT-RS may be configured on a UE-specific basis by a combination of RRC signaling and/or one or more parameters employed for other purposes (e.g., Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS)), which may be indicated by DCI. When configured, a dynamic presence of uplink PT-RS may be associated with one or more DCI parameters comprising at least MCS. A radio network may support a plurality of uplink PT-RS densities defined in time/frequency domain. When present, a frequency domain density may be associated with at least one configuration of a scheduled bandwidth. The UE may assume a same precoding for a DMRS port and a PT-RS port. A number of PT-RS ports may be fewer than a number of DMRS ports in a scheduled resource. For example, uplink PT-RS may be confined in the scheduled time/frequency duration for the UE. 
     SRS may be transmitted by a UE to a base station for channel state estimation to support uplink channel dependent scheduling and/or link adaptation. SRS transmitted by the UE may allow a base station to estimate an uplink channel state at one or more frequencies. A scheduler at the base station may employ the estimated uplink channel state to assign one or more resource blocks for an uplink PUSCH transmission from the UE. The base station may semi-statically configure the UE with one or more SRS resource sets. For an SRS resource set, the base station may configure the UE with one or more SRS resources. An SRS resource set applicability may be configured by a higher layer (e.g., RRC) parameter. For example, when a higher layer parameter indicates beam management, an SRS resource in a SRS resource set of the one or more SRS resource sets (e.g., with the same/similar time domain behavior, periodic, aperiodic, and/or the like) may be transmitted at a time instant (e.g., simultaneously). The UE may transmit one or more SRS resources in SRS resource sets. An NR network may support aperiodic, periodic and/or semi-persistent SRS transmissions. The UE may transmit SRS resources based on one or more trigger types, wherein the one or more trigger types may comprise higher layer signaling (e.g., RRC) and/or one or more DCI formats. In an example, at least one DCI format may be employed for the UE to select at least one of one or more configured SRS resource sets. An SRS trigger type 0 may refer to an SRS triggered based on a higher layer signaling. An SRS trigger type 1 may refer to an SRS triggered based on one or more DCI formats. In an example, when PUSCH and SRS are transmitted in a same slot, the UE may be configured to transmit SRS after a transmission of a PUSCH and a corresponding uplink DMRS. 
     The base station may semi-statically configure the UE with one or more SRS configuration parameters indicating at least one of following: a SRS resource configuration identifier; a number of SRS ports; time domain behavior of an SRS resource configuration (e.g., an indication of periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic SRS); slot, mini-slot, and/or subframe level periodicity; offset for a periodic and/or an aperiodic SRS resource; a number of OFDM symbols in an SRS resource; a starting OFDM symbol of an SRS resource; an SRS bandwidth; a frequency hopping bandwidth; a cyclic shift; and/or an SRS sequence ID. 
     An antenna port is defined such that the channel over which a symbol on the antenna port is conveyed can be inferred from the channel over which another symbol on the same antenna port is conveyed. If a first symbol and a second symbol are transmitted on the same antenna port, the receiver may infer the channel (e.g., fading gain, multipath delay, and/or the like) for conveying the second symbol on the antenna port, from the channel for conveying the first symbol on the antenna port. A first antenna port and a second antenna port may be referred to as quasi co-located (QCLed) if one or more large-scale properties of the channel over which a first symbol on the first antenna port is conveyed may be inferred from the channel over which a second symbol on a second antenna port is conveyed. The one or more large-scale properties may comprise at least one of: a delay spread; a Doppler spread; a Doppler shift; an average gain; an average delay; and/or spatial Receiving (Rx) parameters. 
     Channels that use beamforming require beam management. Beam management may comprise beam measurement, beam selection, and beam indication. A beam may be associated with one or more reference signals. For example, a beam may be identified by one or more beamformed reference signals. The UE may perform downlink beam measurement based on downlink reference signals (e.g., a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)) and generate a beam measurement report. The UE may perform the downlink beam measurement procedure after an RRC connection is set up with a base station. 
       FIG. 11B  illustrates an example of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) that are mapped in the time and frequency domains. A square shown in  FIG. 11B  may span a resource block (RB) within a bandwidth of a cell. A base station may transmit one or more RRC messages comprising CSI-RS resource configuration parameters indicating one or more CSI-RSs. One or more of the following parameters may be configured by higher layer signaling (e.g., RRC and/or MAC signaling) for a CSI-RS resource configuration: a CSI-RS resource configuration identity, a number of CSI-RS ports, a CSI-RS configuration (e.g., symbol and resource element (RE) locations in a subframe), a CSI-RS subframe configuration (e.g., subframe location, offset, and periodicity in a radio frame), a CSI-RS power parameter, a CSI-RS sequence parameter, a code division multiplexing (CDM) type parameter, a frequency density, a transmission comb, quasi co-location (QCL) parameters (e.g., QCL-scramblingidentity, crs-portscount, mbsfn-subframeconfiglist, csi-rs-configZPid, qcl-csi-rs-configNZPid), and/or other radio resource parameters. 
     The three beams illustrated in  FIG. 11B  may be configured for a UE in a UE-specific configuration. Three beams are illustrated in  FIG. 11B  (beam #1, beam #2, and beam #3), more or fewer beams may be configured. Beam #1 may be allocated with CSI-RS  1101  that may be transmitted in one or more subcarriers in an RB of a first symbol. Beam #2 may be allocated with CSI-RS  1102  that may be transmitted in one or more subcarriers in an RB of a second symbol. Beam #3 may be allocated with CSI-RS  1103  that may be transmitted in one or more subcarriers in an RB of a third symbol. By using frequency division multiplexing (FDM), a base station may use other subcarriers in a same RB (for example, those that are not used to transmit CSI-RS  1101 ) to transmit another CSI-RS associated with a beam for another UE. By using time domain multiplexing (TDM), beams used for the UE may be configured such that beams for the UE use symbols from beams of other UEs. 
     CSI-RSs such as those illustrated in  FIG. 11B  (e.g., CSI-RS  1101 ,  1102 ,  1103 ) may be transmitted by the base station and used by the UE for one or more measurements. For example, the UE may measure a reference signal received power (RSRP) of configured CSI-RS resources. The base station may configure the UE with a reporting configuration and the UE may report the RSRP measurements to a network (for example, via one or more base stations) based on the reporting configuration. In an example, the base station may determine, based on the reported measurement results, one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states comprising a number of reference signals. In an example, the base station may indicate one or more TCI states to the UE (e.g., via RRC signaling, a MAC CE, and/or a DCI). The UE may receive a downlink transmission with a receive (Rx) beam determined based on the one or more TCI states. In an example, the UE may or may not have a capability of beam correspondence. If the UE has the capability of beam correspondence, the UE may determine a spatial domain filter of a transmit (Tx) beam based on a spatial domain filter of the corresponding Rx beam. If the UE does not have the capability of beam correspondence, the UE may perform an uplink beam selection procedure to determine the spatial domain filter of the Tx beam. The UE may perform the uplink beam selection procedure based on one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) resources configured to the UE by the base station. The base station may select and indicate uplink beams for the UE based on measurements of the one or more SRS resources transmitted by the UE. 
     In a beam management procedure, a UE may assess (e.g., measure) a channel quality of one or more beam pair links, a beam pair link comprising a transmitting beam transmitted by a base station and a receiving beam received by the UE. Based on the assessment, the UE may transmit a beam measurement report indicating one or more beam pair quality parameters comprising, e.g., one or more beam identifications (e.g., a beam index, a reference signal index, or the like), RSRP, a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), and/or a rank indicator (RI). 
       FIG. 12A  illustrates examples of three downlink beam management procedures: P1, P2, and P3. Procedure P1 may enable a UE measurement on transmit (Tx) beams of a transmission reception point (TRP) (or multiple TRPs), e.g., to support a selection of one or more base station Tx beams and/or UE Rx beams (shown as ovals in the top row and bottom row, respectively, of P1). Beamforming at a TRP may comprise a Tx beam sweep for a set of beams (shown, in the top rows of P1 and P2, as ovals rotated in a counter-clockwise direction indicated by the dashed arrow). Beamforming at a UE may comprise an Rx beam sweep for a set of beams (shown, in the bottom rows of P1 and P3, as ovals rotated in a clockwise direction indicated by the dashed arrow). Procedure P2 may be used to enable a UE measurement on Tx beams of a TRP (shown, in the top row of P2, as ovals rotated in a counter-clockwise direction indicated by the dashed arrow). The UE and/or the base station may perform procedure P2 using a smaller set of beams than is used in procedure P1, or using narrower beams than the beams used in procedure P1. This may be referred to as beam refinement. The UE may perform procedure P3 for Rx beam determination by using the same Tx beam at the base station and sweeping an Rx beam at the UE. 
       FIG. 12B  illustrates examples of three uplink beam management procedures: U1, U2, and U3. Procedure U1 may be used to enable a base station to perform a measurement on Tx beams of a UE, e.g., to support a selection of one or more UE Tx beams and/or base station Rx beams (shown as ovals in the top row and bottom row, respectively, of U1). Beamforming at the UE may include, e.g., a Tx beam sweep from a set of beams (shown in the bottom rows of U1 and U3 as ovals rotated in a clockwise direction indicated by the dashed arrow). Beamforming at the base station may include, e.g., an Rx beam sweep from a set of beams (shown, in the top rows of U1 and U2, as ovals rotated in a counter-clockwise direction indicated by the dashed arrow). Procedure U2 may be used to enable the base station to adjust its Rx beam when the UE uses a fixed Tx beam. The UE and/or the base station may perform procedure U2 using a smaller set of beams than is used in procedure P1, or using narrower beams than the beams used in procedure P1. This may be referred to as beam refinement The UE may perform procedure U3 to adjust its Tx beam when the base station uses a fixed Rx beam. 
     A UE may initiate a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure based on detecting a beam failure. The UE may transmit a BFR request (e.g., a preamble, a UCI, an SR, a MAC CE, and/or the like) based on the initiating of the BFR procedure. The UE may detect the beam failure based on a determination that a quality of beam pair link(s) of an associated control channel is unsatisfactory (e.g., having an error rate higher than an error rate threshold, a received signal power lower than a received signal power threshold, an expiration of a timer, and/or the like). 
     The UE may measure a quality of a beam pair link using one or more reference signals (RSs) comprising one or more SS/PBCH blocks, one or more CSI-RS resources, and/or one or more demodulation reference signals (DMRSs). A quality of the beam pair link may be based on one or more of a block error rate (BLER), an RSRP value, a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) value, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) value, and/or a CSI value measured on RS resources. The base station may indicate that an RS resource is quasi co-located (QCLed) with one or more DM-RSs of a channel (e.g., a control channel, a shared data channel, and/or the like). The RS resource and the one or more DMRSs of the channel may be QCLed when the channel characteristics (e.g., Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, spatial Rx parameter, fading, and/or the like) from a transmission via the RS resource to the UE are similar or the same as the channel characteristics from a transmission via the channel to the UE. 
     A network (e.g., a gNB and/or an ng-eNB of a network) and/or the UE may initiate a random access procedure. A UE in an RRC_IDLE state and/or an RRC_INACTIVE state may initiate the random access procedure to request a connection setup to a network. The UE may initiate the random access procedure from an RRC_CONNECTED state. The UE may initiate the random access procedure to request uplink resources (e.g., for uplink transmission of an SR when there is no PUCCH resource available) and/or acquire uplink timing (e.g., when uplink synchronization status is non-synchronized). The UE may initiate the random access procedure to request one or more system information blocks (SIBs) (e.g., other system information such as SIB2, SIB3, and/or the like). The UE may initiate the random access procedure for a beam failure recovery request. A network may initiate a random access procedure for a handover and/or for establishing time alignment for an SCell addition. 
       FIG. 13A  illustrates a four-step contention-based random access procedure. Prior to initiation of the procedure, a base station may transmit a configuration message  1310  to the UE. The procedure illustrated in  FIG. 13A  comprises transmission of four messages: a Msg 1  1311 , a Msg 2  1312 , a Msg 3  1313 , and a Msg 4  1314 . The Msg 1  1311  may include and/or be referred to as a preamble (or a random access preamble). The Msg 2  1312  may include and/or be referred to as a random access response (RAR). 
     The configuration message  1310  may be transmitted, for example, using one or more RRC messages. The one or more RRC messages may indicate one or more random access channel (RACH) parameters to the UE. The one or more RACH parameters may comprise at least one of following: general parameters for one or more random access procedures (e.g., RACH-configGeneral); cell-specific parameters (e.g., RACH-ConfigCommon); and/or dedicated parameters (e.g., RACH-configDedicated). The base station may broadcast or multicast the one or more RRC messages to one or more UEs. The one or more RRC messages may be UE-specific (e.g., dedicated RRC messages transmitted to a UE in an RRC_CONNECTED state and/or in an RRC_INACTIVE state). The UE may determine, based on the one or more RACH parameters, a time-frequency resource and/or an uplink transmit power for transmission of the Msg 1  1311  and/or the Msg 3  1313 . Based on the one or more RACH parameters, the UE may determine a reception timing and a downlink channel for receiving the Msg 2  1312  and the Msg 4  1314 . 
     The one or more RACH parameters provided in the configuration message  1310  may indicate one or more Physical RACH (PRACH) occasions available for transmission of the Msg 1  1311 . The one or more PRACH occasions may be predefined. The one or more RACH parameters may indicate one or more available sets of one or more PRACH occasions (e.g., prach-ConfigIndex). The one or more RACH parameters may indicate an association between (a) one or more PRACH occasions and (b) one or more reference signals. The one or more RACH parameters may indicate an association between (a) one or more preambles and (b) one or more reference signals. The one or more reference signals may be SS/PBCH blocks and/or CSI-RSs. For example, the one or more RACH parameters may indicate a number of SS/PBCH blocks mapped to a PRACH occasion and/or a number of preambles mapped to a SS/PBCH blocks. 
     The one or more RACH parameters provided in the configuration message  1310  may be used to determine an uplink transmit power of Msg 1  1311  and/or Msg 3  1313 . For example, the one or more RACH parameters may indicate a reference power for a preamble transmission (e.g., a received target power and/or an initial power of the preamble transmission). There may be one or more power offsets indicated by the one or more RACH parameters. For example, the one or more RACH parameters may indicate: a power ramping step; a power offset between SSB and CSI-RS; a power offset between transmissions of the Msg 1  1311  and the Msg 3  1313 ; and/or a power offset value between preamble groups. The one or more RACH parameters may indicate one or more thresholds based on which the UE may determine at least one reference signal (e.g., an SSB and/or CSI-RS) and/or an uplink carrier (e.g., a normal uplink (NUL) carrier and/or a supplemental uplink (SUL) carrier). 
     The Msg 1  1311  may include one or more preamble transmissions (e.g., a preamble transmission and one or more preamble retransmissions). An RRC message may be used to configure one or more preamble groups (e.g., group A and/or group B). A preamble group may comprise one or more preambles. The UE may determine the preamble group based on a pathloss measurement and/or a size of the Msg 3  1313 . The UE may measure an RSRP of one or more reference signals (e.g., SSBs and/or CSI-RSs) and determine at least one reference signal having an RSRP above an RSRP threshold (e.g., rsrp-ThresholdSSB and/or rsrp-ThresholdCSI-RS). The UE may select at least one preamble associated with the one or more reference signals and/or a selected preamble group, for example, if the association between the one or more preambles and the at least one reference signal is configured by an RRC message. 
     The UE may determine the preamble based on the one or more RACH parameters provided in the configuration message  1310 . For example, the UE may determine the preamble based on a pathloss measurement, an RSRP measurement, and/or a size of the Msg 3  1313 . As another example, the one or more RACH parameters may indicate: a preamble format; a maximum number of preamble transmissions; and/or one or more thresholds for determining one or more preamble groups (e.g., group A and group B). A base station may use the one or more RACH parameters to configure the UE with an association between one or more preambles and one or more reference signals (e.g., SSBs and/or CSI-RSs). If the association is configured, the UE may determine the preamble to include in Msg 1  1311  based on the association. The Msg 1  1311  may be transmitted to the base station via one or more PRACH occasions. The UE may use one or more reference signals (e.g., SSBs and/or CSI-RSs) for selection of the preamble and for determining of the PRACH occasion. One or more RACH parameters (e.g., ra-ssb-OccasionMskIndex and/or ra-OccasionList) may indicate an association between the PRACH occasions and the one or more reference signals. 
     The UE may perform a preamble retransmission if no response is received following a preamble transmission. The UE may increase an uplink transmit power for the preamble retransmission. The UE may select an initial preamble transmit power based on a pathloss measurement and/or a target received preamble power configured by the network. The UE may determine to retransmit a preamble and may ramp up the uplink transmit power. The UE may receive one or more RACH parameters (e.g., PREAMBLE_POWER_RAMPING_STEP) indicating a ramping step for the preamble retransmission. The ramping step may be an amount of incremental increase in uplink transmit power for a retransmission. The UE may ramp up the uplink transmit power if the UE determines a reference signal (e.g., SSB and/or CSI-RS) that is the same as a previous preamble transmission. The UE may count a number of preamble transmissions and/or retransmissions (e.g., PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_COUNTER). The UE may determine that a random access procedure completed unsuccessfully, for example, if the number of preamble transmissions exceeds a threshold configured by the one or more RACH parameters (e.g., preambleTransMax). 
     The Msg 2  1312  received by the UE may include an RAR. In some scenarios, the Msg 2  1312  may include multiple RARs corresponding to multiple UEs. The Msg 2  1312  may be received after or in response to the transmitting of the Msg 1  1311 . The Msg 2  1312  may be scheduled on the DL-SCH and indicated on a PDCCH using a random access RNTI (RA-RNTI). The Msg 2  1312  may indicate that the Msg 1  1311  was received by the base station. The Msg 2  1312  may include a time-alignment command that may be used by the UE to adjust the UE&#39;s transmission timing, a scheduling grant for transmission of the Msg 3  1313 , and/or a Temporary Cell RNTI (TC-RNTI). After transmitting a preamble, the UE may start a time window (e.g., ra-ResponseWindow) to monitor a PDCCH for the Msg 2  1312 . The UE may determine when to start the time window based on a PRACH occasion that the UE uses to transmit the preamble. For example, the UE may start the time window one or more symbols after a last symbol of the preamble (e.g., at a first PDCCH occasion from an end of a preamble transmission). The one or more symbols may be determined based on a numerology. The PDCCH may be in a common search space (e.g., a Type1-PDCCH common search space) configured by an RRC message. The UE may identify the RAR based on a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI). RNTIs may be used depending on one or more events initiating the random access procedure. The UE may use random access RNTI (RA-RNTI). The RA-RNTI may be associated with PRACH occasions in which the UE transmits a preamble. For example, the UE may determine the RA-RNTI based on: an OFDM symbol index; a slot index; a frequency domain index; and/or a UL carrier indicator of the PRACH occasions. An example of RA-RNTI may be as follows:
         RA-RNTI=1+s_id+14×t_id+14×80×f_id+14×80×8×ul_carrier_id
 
where s_id may be an index of a first OFDM symbol of the PRACH occasion (e.g., 0&lt;s_id&lt;14), t_id may be an index of a first slot of the PRACH occasion in a system frame (e.g., 0&lt;t_id&lt;80), f_id may be an index of the PRACH occasion in the frequency domain (e.g., 0&lt;f_id&lt;8), and ul_carrier_id may be a UL carrier used for a preamble transmission (e.g., 0 for an NUL carrier, and 1 for an SUL carrier).
       

     The UE may transmit the Msg 3  1313  in response to a successful reception of the Msg 2  1312  (e.g., using resources identified in the Msg 2  1312 ). The Msg 3  1313  may be used for contention resolution in, for example, the contention-based random access procedure illustrated in  FIG. 13A . In some scenarios, a plurality of UEs may transmit a same preamble to a base station and the base station may provide an RAR that corresponds to a UE. Collisions may occur if the plurality of UEs interpret the RAR as corresponding to themselves. Contention resolution (e.g., using the Msg 3  1313  and the Msg 4  1314 ) may be used to increase the likelihood that the UE does not incorrectly use an identity of another the UE. To perform contention resolution, the UE may include a device identifier in the Msg 3  1313  (e.g., a C-RNTI if assigned, a TC-RNTI included in the Msg 2  1312 , and/or any other suitable identifier). 
     The Msg 4  1314  may be received after or in response to the transmitting of the Msg 3  1313 . If a C-RNTI was included in the Msg 3  1313 , the base station will address the UE on the PDCCH using the C-RNTI. If the UE&#39;s unique C-RNTI is detected on the PDCCH, the random access procedure is determined to be successfully completed. If a TC-RNTI is included in the Msg 3  1313  (e.g., if the UE is in an RRC_IDLE state or not otherwise connected to the base station), Msg 4  1314  will be received using a DL-SCH associated with the TC-RNTI. If a MAC PDU is successfully decoded and a MAC PDU comprises the UE contention resolution identity MAC CE that matches or otherwise corresponds with the CCCH SDU sent (e.g., transmitted) in Msg 3  1313 , the UE may determine that the contention resolution is successful and/or the UE may determine that the random access procedure is successfully completed. 
     The UE may be configured with a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier and a normal uplink (NUL) carrier. An initial access (e.g., random access procedure) may be supported in an uplink carrier. For example, a base station may configure the UE with two separate RACH configurations: one for an SUL carrier and the other for an NUL carrier. For random access in a cell configured with an SUL carrier, the network may indicate which carrier to use (NUL or SUL). The UE may determine the SUL carrier, for example, if a measured quality of one or more reference signals is lower than a broadcast threshold. Uplink transmissions of the random access procedure (e.g., the Msg 1  1311  and/or the Msg 3  1313 ) may remain on the selected carrier. The UE may switch an uplink carrier during the random access procedure (e.g., between the Msg 1  1311  and the Msg 3  1313 ) in one or more cases. For example, the UE may determine and/or switch an uplink carrier for the Msg 1  1311  and/or the Msg 3  1313  based on a channel clear assessment (e.g., a listen-before-talk). 
       FIG. 13B  illustrates a two-step contention-free random access procedure. Similar to the four-step contention-based random access procedure illustrated in  FIG. 13A , a base station may, prior to initiation of the procedure, transmit a configuration message  1320  to the UE. The configuration message  1320  may be analogous in some respects to the configuration message  1310 . The procedure illustrated in  FIG. 13B  comprises transmission of two messages: a Msg 1  1321  and a Msg 2  1322 . The Msg 1  1321  and the Msg 2  1322  may be analogous in some respects to the Msg 1  1311  and a Msg 2  1312  illustrated in  FIG. 13A , respectively. As will be understood from  FIGS. 13A and 13B , the contention-free random access procedure may not include messages analogous to the Msg 3  1313  and/or the Msg 4  1314 . 
     The contention-free random access procedure illustrated in  FIG. 13B  may be initiated for a beam failure recovery, other SI request, SCell addition, and/or handover. For example, a base station may indicate or assign to the UE the preamble to be used for the Msg 1  1321 . The UE may receive, from the base station via PDCCH and/or RRC, an indication of a preamble (e.g., ra-PreambleIndex). 
     After transmitting a preamble, the UE may start a time window (e.g., ra-ResponseWindow) to monitor a PDCCH for the RAR. In the event of a beam failure recovery request, the base station may configure the UE with a separate time window and/or a separate PDCCH in a search space indicated by an RRC message (e.g., recoverySearchSpaceId). The UE may monitor for a PDCCH transmission addressed to a Cell RNTI (C-RNTI) on the search space. In the contention-free random access procedure illustrated in  FIG. 13B , the UE may determine that a random access procedure successfully completes after or in response to transmission of Msg 1  1321  and reception of a corresponding Msg 2  1322 . The UE may determine that a random access procedure successfully completes, for example, if a PDCCH transmission is addressed to a C-RNTI. The UE may determine that a random access procedure successfully completes, for example, if the UE receives an RAR comprising a preamble identifier corresponding to a preamble transmitted by the UE and/or the RAR comprises a MAC sub-PDU with the preamble identifier. The UE may determine the response as an indication of an acknowledgement for an SI request. 
       FIG. 13C  illustrates another two-step random access procedure. Similar to the random access procedures illustrated in  FIGS. 13A and 13B , a base station may, prior to initiation of the procedure, transmit a configuration message  1330  to the UE. The configuration message  1330  may be analogous in some respects to the configuration message  1310  and/or the configuration message  1320 . The procedure illustrated in  FIG. 13C  comprises transmission of two messages: a Msg A  1331  and a Msg B  1332 . 
     Msg A  1331  may be transmitted in an uplink transmission by the UE. Msg A  1331  may comprise one or more transmissions of a preamble  1341  and/or one or more transmissions of a transport block  1342 . The transport block  1342  may comprise contents that are similar and/or equivalent to the contents of the Msg 3  1313  illustrated in  FIG. 13A . The transport block  1342  may comprise UCI (e.g., an SR, a HARQ ACK/NACK, and/or the like). The UE may receive the Msg B  1332  after or in response to transmitting the Msg A  1331 . The Msg B  1332  may comprise contents that are similar and/or equivalent to the contents of the Msg 2  1312  (e.g., an RAR) illustrated in  FIGS. 13A and 13B  and/or the Msg 4  1314  illustrated in  FIG. 13A . 
     The UE may initiate the two-step random access procedure in  FIG. 13C  for licensed spectrum and/or unlicensed spectrum. The UE may determine, based on one or more factors, whether to initiate the two-step random access procedure. The one or more factors may be: a radio access technology in use (e.g., LTE, NR, and/or the like); whether the UE has valid TA or not; a cell size; the UE&#39;s RRC state; a type of spectrum (e.g., licensed vs. unlicensed); and/or any other suitable factors. 
     The UE may determine, based on two-step RACH parameters included in the configuration message  1330 , a radio resource and/or an uplink transmit power for the preamble  1341  and/or the transport block  1342  included in the Msg A  1331 . The RACH parameters may indicate a modulation and coding schemes (MCS), a time-frequency resource, and/or a power control for the preamble  1341  and/or the transport block  1342 . A time-frequency resource for transmission of the preamble  1341  (e.g., a PRACH) and a time-frequency resource for transmission of the transport block  1342  (e.g., a PUSCH) may be multiplexed using FDM, TDM, and/or CDM. The RACH parameters may enable the UE to determine a reception timing and a downlink channel for monitoring for and/or receiving Msg B  1332 . 
     The transport block  1342  may comprise data (e.g., delay-sensitive data), an identifier of the UE, security information, and/or device information (e.g., an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)). The base station may transmit the Msg B  1332  as a response to the Msg A  1331 . The Msg B  1332  may comprise at least one of following: a preamble identifier; a timing advance command; a power control command; an uplink grant (e.g., a radio resource assignment and/or an MCS); a UE identifier for contention resolution; and/or an RNTI (e.g., a C-RNTI or a TC-RNTI). The UE may determine that the two-step random access procedure is successfully completed if: a preamble identifier in the Msg B  1332  is matched to a preamble transmitted by the UE; and/or the identifier of the UE in Msg B  1332  is matched to the identifier of the UE in the Msg A  1331  (e.g., the transport block  1342 ). 
     A UE and a base station may exchange control signaling. The control signaling may be referred to as L1/L2 control signaling and may originate from the PHY layer (e.g., layer 1) and/or the MAC layer (e.g., layer 2). The control signaling may comprise downlink control signaling transmitted from the base station to the UE and/or uplink control signaling transmitted from the UE to the base station. 
     The downlink control signaling may comprise: a downlink scheduling assignment; an uplink scheduling grant indicating uplink radio resources and/or a transport format; a slot format information; a preemption indication; a power control command; and/or any other suitable signaling. The UE may receive the downlink control signaling in a payload transmitted by the base station on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The payload transmitted on the PDCCH may be referred to as downlink control information (DCI). In some scenarios, the PDCCH may be a group common PDCCH (GC-PDCCH) that is common to a group of UEs. 
     A base station may attach one or more cyclic redundancy check (CRC) parity bits to a DCI in order to facilitate detection of transmission errors. When the DCI is intended for a UE (or a group of the UEs), the base station may scramble the CRC parity bits with an identifier of the UE (or an identifier of the group of the UEs). Scrambling the CRC parity bits with the identifier may comprise Modulo-2 addition (or an exclusive OR operation) of the identifier value and the CRC parity bits. The identifier may comprise a 16-bit value of a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI). 
     DCIs may be used for different purposes. A purpose may be indicated by the type of RNTI used to scramble the CRC parity bits. For example, a DCI having CRC parity bits scrambled with a paging RNTI (P-RNTI) may indicate paging information and/or a system information change notification. The P-RNTI may be predefined as “FFFE” in hexadecimal. A DCI having CRC parity bits scrambled with a system information RNTI (SI-RNTI) may indicate a broadcast transmission of the system information. The SI-RNTI may be predefined as “FFFF” in hexadecimal. A DCI having CRC parity bits scrambled with a random access RNTI (RA-RNTI) may indicate a random access response (RAR). A DCI having CRC parity bits scrambled with a cell RNTI (C-RNTI) may indicate a dynamically scheduled unicast transmission and/or a triggering of PDCCH-ordered random access. A DCI having CRC parity bits scrambled with a temporary cell RNTI (TC-RNTI) may indicate a contention resolution (e.g., a Msg 3 analogous to the Msg 3  1313  illustrated in  FIG. 13A ). Other RNTIs configured to the UE by a base station may comprise a Configured Scheduling RNTI (CS-RNTI), a Transmit Power Control-PUCCH RNTI (TPC-PUCCH-RNTI), a Transmit Power Control-PUSCH RNTI (TPC-PUSCH-RNTI), a Transmit Power Control-SRS RNTI (TPC-SRS-RNTI), an Interruption RNTI (INT-RNTI), a Slot Format Indication RNTI (SFI-RNTI), a Semi-Persistent CSI RNTI (SP-CSI-RNTI), a Modulation and Coding Scheme Cell RNTI (MCS-C-RNTI), and/or the like. 
     Depending on the purpose and/or content of a DCI, the base station may transmit the DCIs with one or more DCI formats. For example, DCI format 0_0 may be used for scheduling of PUSCH in a cell. DCI format 0_0 may be a fallback DCI format (e.g., with compact DCI payloads). DCI format 0_1 may be used for scheduling of PUSCH in a cell (e.g., with more DCI payloads than DCI format 0_0). DCI format 1_0 may be used for scheduling of PDSCH in a cell. DCI format 1_0 may be a fallback DCI format (e.g., with compact DCI payloads). DCI format 1_1 may be used for scheduling of PDSCH in a cell (e.g., with more DCI payloads than DCI format 1_0). DCI format 2_0 may be used for providing a slot format indication to a group of UEs. DCI format 2_1 may be used for notifying a group of UEs of a physical resource block and/or OFDM symbol where the UE may assume no transmission is intended to the UE. DCI format 2_2 may be used for transmission of a transmit power control (TPC) command for PUCCH or PUSCH. DCI format 2_3 may be used for transmission of a group of TPC commands for SRS transmissions by one or more UEs. DCI format(s) for new functions may be defined in future releases. DCI formats may have different DCI sizes, or may share the same DCI size. 
     After scrambling a DCI with a RNTI, the base station may process the DCI with channel coding (e.g., polar coding), rate matching, scrambling and/or QPSK modulation. A base station may map the coded and modulated DCI on resource elements used and/or configured for a PDCCH. Based on a payload size of the DCI and/or a coverage of the base station, the base station may transmit the DCI via a PDCCH occupying a number of contiguous control channel elements (CCEs). The number of the contiguous CCEs (referred to as aggregation level) may be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and/or any other suitable number. A CCE may comprise a number (e.g., 6) of resource-element groups (REGs). A REG may comprise a resource block in an OFDM symbol. The mapping of the coded and modulated DCI on the resource elements may be based on mapping of CCEs and REGs (e.g., CCE-to-REG mapping). 
       FIG. 14A  illustrates an example of CORESET configurations for a bandwidth part. The base station may transmit a DCI via a PDCCH on one or more control resource sets (CORESETs). A CORESET may comprise a time-frequency resource in which the UE tries to decode a DCI using one or more search spaces. The base station may configure a CORESET in the time-frequency domain. In the example of  FIG. 14A , a first CORESET  1401  and a second CORESET  1402  occur at the first symbol in a slot. The first CORESET  1401  overlaps with the second CORESET  1402  in the frequency domain. A third CORESET  1403  occurs at a third symbol in the slot. A fourth CORESET  1404  occurs at the seventh symbol in the slot. CORESETs may have a different number of resource blocks in frequency domain. 
       FIG. 14B  illustrates an example of a CCE-to-REG mapping for DCI transmission on a CORESET and PDCCH processing. The CCE-to-REG mapping may be an interleaved mapping (e.g., for the purpose of providing frequency diversity) or a non-interleaved mapping (e.g., for the purposes of facilitating interference coordination and/or frequency-selective transmission of control channels). The base station may perform different or same CCE-to-REG mapping on different CORESETs. A CORESET may be associated with a CCE-to-REG mapping by RRC configuration. A CORESET may be configured with an antenna port quasi co-location (QCL) parameter. The antenna port QCL parameter may indicate QCL information of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for PDCCH reception in the CORESET. 
     The base station may transmit, to the UE, RRC messages comprising configuration parameters of one or more CORESETs and one or more search space sets. The configuration parameters may indicate an association between a search space set and a CORESET. A search space set may comprise a set of PDCCH candidates formed by CCEs at a given aggregation level. The configuration parameters may indicate: a number of PDCCH candidates to be monitored per aggregation level; a PDCCH monitoring periodicity and a PDCCH monitoring pattern; one or more DCI formats to be monitored by the UE; and/or whether a search space set is a common search space set or a UE-specific search space set. A set of CCEs in the common search space set may be predefined and known to the UE. A set of CCEs in the UE-specific search space set may be configured based on the UE&#39;s identity (e.g., C-RNTI). 
     As shown in  FIG. 14B , the UE may determine a time-frequency resource for a CORESET based on RRC messages. The UE may determine a CCE-to-REG mapping (e.g., interleaved or non-interleaved, and/or mapping parameters) for the CORESET based on configuration parameters of the CORESET. The UE may determine a number (e.g., at most 10) of search space sets configured on the CORESET based on the RRC messages. The UE may monitor a set of PDCCH candidates according to configuration parameters of a search space set. The UE may monitor a set of PDCCH candidates in one or more CORESETs for detecting one or more DCIs. Monitoring may comprise decoding one or more PDCCH candidates of the set of the PDCCH candidates according to the monitored DCI formats. Monitoring may comprise decoding a DCI content of one or more PDCCH candidates with possible (or configured) PDCCH locations, possible (or configured) PDCCH formats (e.g., number of CCEs, number of PDCCH candidates in common search spaces, and/or number of PDCCH candidates in the UE-specific search spaces) and possible (or configured) DCI formats. The decoding may be referred to as blind decoding. The UE may determine a DCI as valid for the UE, in response to CRC checking (e.g., scrambled bits for CRC parity bits of the DCI matching a RNTI value). The UE may process information contained in the DCI (e.g., a scheduling assignment, an uplink grant, power control, a slot format indication, a downlink preemption, and/or the like). 
     The UE may transmit uplink control signaling (e.g., uplink control information (UCI)) to a base station. The uplink control signaling may comprise hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgements for received DL-SCH transport blocks. The UE may transmit the HARQ acknowledgements after receiving a DL-SCH transport block. Uplink control signaling may comprise channel state information (CSI) indicating channel quality of a physical downlink channel. The UE may transmit the CSI to the base station. The base station, based on the received CSI, may determine transmission format parameters (e.g., comprising multi-antenna and beamforming schemes) for a downlink transmission. Uplink control signaling may comprise scheduling requests (SR). The UE may transmit an SR indicating that uplink data is available for transmission to the base station. The UE may transmit a UCI (e.g., HARQ acknowledgements (HARQ-ACK), CSI report, SR, and the like) via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The UE may transmit the uplink control signaling via a PUCCH using one of several PUCCH formats. 
     There may be five PUCCH formats and the UE may determine a PUCCH format based on a size of the UCI (e.g., a number of uplink symbols of UCI transmission and a number of UCI bits). PUCCH format 0 may have a length of one or two OFDM symbols and may include two or fewer bits. The UE may transmit UCI in a PUCCH resource using PUCCH format 0 if the transmission is over one or two symbols and the number of HARQ-ACK information bits with positive or negative SR (HARQ-ACK/SR bits) is one or two. PUCCH format 1 may occupy a number between four and fourteen OFDM symbols and may include two or fewer bits. The UE may use PUCCH format 1 if the transmission is four or more symbols and the number of HARQ-ACK/SR bits is one or two. PUCCH format 2 may occupy one or two OFDM symbols and may include more than two bits. The UE may use PUCCH format 2 if the transmission is over one or two symbols and the number of UCI bits is two or more. PUCCH format 3 may occupy a number between four and fourteen OFDM symbols and may include more than two bits. The UE may use PUCCH format 3 if the transmission is four or more symbols, the number of UCI bits is two or more and PUCCH resource does not include an orthogonal cover code. PUCCH format 4 may occupy a number between four and fourteen OFDM symbols and may include more than two bits. The UE may use PUCCH format 4 if the transmission is four or more symbols, the number of UCI bits is two or more and the PUCCH resource includes an orthogonal cover code. 
     The base station may transmit configuration parameters to the UE for a plurality of PUCCH resource sets using, for example, an RRC message. The plurality of PUCCH resource sets (e.g., up to four sets) may be configured on an uplink BWP of a cell. A PUCCH resource set may be configured with a PUCCH resource set index, a plurality of PUCCH resources with a PUCCH resource being identified by a PUCCH resource identifier (e.g., pucch-Resourceid), and/or a number (e.g. a maximum number) of UCI information bits the UE may transmit using one of the plurality of PUCCH resources in the PUCCH resource set. When configured with a plurality of PUCCH resource sets, the UE may select one of the plurality of PUCCH resource sets based on a total bit length of the UCI information bits (e.g., HARQ-ACK, SR, and/or CSI). If the total bit length of UCI information bits is two or fewer, the UE may select a first PUCCH resource set having a PUCCH resource set index equal to “0”. If the total bit length of UCI information bits is greater than two and less than or equal to a first configured value, the UE may select a second PUCCH resource set having a PUCCH resource set index equal to “1”. If the total bit length of UCI information bits is greater than the first configured value and less than or equal to a second configured value, the UE may select a third PUCCH resource set having a PUCCH resource set index equal to “2”. If the total bit length of UCI information bits is greater than the second configured value and less than or equal to a third value (e.g.,  1406 ), the UE may select a fourth PUCCH resource set having a PUCCH resource set index equal to “3”. 
     After determining a PUCCH resource set from a plurality of PUCCH resource sets, the UE may determine a PUCCH resource from the PUCCH resource set for UCI (HARQ-ACK, CSI, and/or SR) transmission. The UE may determine the PUCCH resource based on a PUCCH resource indicator in a DCI (e.g., with a DCI format 1_0 or DCI for 1_1) received on a PDCCH. A three-bit PUCCH resource indicator in the DCI may indicate one of eight PUCCH resources in the PUCCH resource set. Based on the PUCCH resource indicator, the UE may transmit the UCI (HARQ-ACK, CSI and/or SR) using a PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indicator in the DCI.

       FIG. 16A  illustrates an example structure for uplink transmission. A baseband signal representing a physical uplink shared channel may perform one or more functions. The one or more functions may comprise at least one of: scrambling; modulation of scrambled bits to generate complex-valued symbols; mapping of the complex-valued modulation symbols onto one or several transmission layers; transform precoding to generate complex-valued symbols; precoding of the complex-valued symbols; mapping of precoded complex-valued symbols to resource elements; generation of complex-valued time-domain Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) or CP-OFDM signal for an antenna port; and/or the like. In an example, when transform precoding is enabled, a SC-FDMA signal for uplink transmission may be generated. In an example, when transform precoding is not enabled, an CP-OFDM signal for uplink transmission may be generated by  FIG. 16A . These functions are illustrated as examples and it is anticipated that other mechanisms may be implemented in various embodiments. 
       FIG. 16B  illustrates an example structure for modulation and up-conversion of a baseband signal to a carrier frequency. The baseband signal may be a complex-valued SC-FDMA or CP-OFDM baseband signal for an antenna port and/or a complex-valued Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) baseband signal. Filtering may be employed prior to transmission. 
       FIG. 16C  illustrates an example structure for downlink transmissions. A baseband signal representing a physical downlink channel may perform one or more functions. The one or more functions may comprise: scrambling of coded bits in a codeword to be transmitted on a physical channel; modulation of scrambled bits to generate complex-valued modulation symbols; mapping of the complex-valued modulation symbols onto one or several transmission layers; precoding of the complex-valued modulation symbols on a layer for transmission on the antenna ports; mapping of complex-valued modulation symbols for an antenna port to resource elements; generation of complex-valued time-domain OFDM signal for an antenna port; and/or the like. These functions are illustrated as examples and it is anticipated that other mechanisms may be implemented in various embodiments. 
       FIG. 16D  illustrates another example structure for modulation and up-conversion of a baseband signal to a carrier frequency. The baseband signal may be a complex-valued OFDM baseband signal for an antenna port. Filtering may be employed prior to transmission. 
     A wireless device may receive from a base station one or more messages (e.g. RRC messages) comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells (e.g. primary cell, secondary cell). The wireless device may communicate with at least one base station (e.g. two or more base stations in dual-connectivity) via the plurality of cells. The one or more messages (e.g. as a part of the configuration parameters) may comprise parameters of physical, MAC, RLC, PCDP, SDAP, RRC layers for configuring the wireless device. For example, the configuration parameters may comprise parameters for configuring physical and MAC layer channels, bearers, etc. For example, the configuration parameters may comprise parameters indicating values of timers for physical, MAC, RLC, PCDP, SDAP, RRC layers, and/or communication channels. 
     A timer may begin running once it is started and continue running until it is stopped or until it expires. A timer may be started if it is not running or restarted if it is running. A timer may be associated with a value (e.g. the timer may be started or restarted from a value or may be started from zero and expire once it reaches the value). The duration of a timer may not be updated until the timer is stopped or expires (e.g., due to BWP switching). A timer may be used to measure a time period/window for a process. When the specification refers to an implementation and procedure related to one or more timers, it will be understood that there are multiple ways to implement the one or more timers. For example, it will be understood that one or more of the multiple ways to implement a timer may be used to measure a time period/window for the procedure. For example, a random access response window timer may be used for measuring a window of time for receiving a random access response. In an example, instead of starting and expiry of a random access response window timer, the time difference between two time stamps may be used. When a timer is restarted, a process for measurement of time window may be restarted. Other example implementations may be provided to restart a measurement of a time window. 
     A base station may transmit one or more MAC PDUs to a wireless device. In an example, a MAC PDU may be a bit string that is byte aligned (e.g., a multiple of eight bits) in length. In an example, bit strings may be represented by tables in which the most significant bit is the leftmost bit of the first line of the table, and the least significant bit is the rightmost bit on the last line of the table. More generally, the bit string may be read from left to right and then in the reading order of the lines. In an example, the bit order of a parameter field within a MAC PDU is represented with the first and most significant bit in the leftmost bit and the last and least significant bit in the rightmost bit. 
     In an example, a MAC SDU may be a bit string that is byte aligned (e.g., a multiple of eight bits) in length. In an example, a MAC SDU may be included in a MAC PDU from the first bit onward. A MAC CE may be a bit string that is byte aligned (e.g., a multiple of eight bits) in length. A MAC subheader may be a bit string that is byte aligned (e.g., a multiple of eight bits) in length. In an example, a MAC subheader may be placed immediately in front of a corresponding MAC SDU, MAC CE, or padding. A MAC entity may ignore a value of reserved bits in a DL MAC PDU. 
     In an example, a MAC PDU may comprise one or more MAC subPDUs. A MAC subPDU of the one or more MAC subPDUs may comprise: a MAC subheader only (including padding); a MAC subheader and a MAC SDU; a MAC subheader and a MAC CE; and/or a MAC subheader and padding. The MAC SDU may be of variable size. A MAC subheader may correspond to a MAC SDU, a MAC CE, or padding. 
     In an example, when a MAC subheader corresponds to a MAC SDU, a variable-sized MAC CE, or padding, the MAC subheader may comprise: an R field with a one bit length; an F field with a one-bit length; an LCID field with a multi-bit length; and/or an L field with a multi-bit length. 
       FIG. 17A  shows an example of a MAC subheader with an R field, an F field, an LCID field, and an L field. In the example MAC subheader of  FIG. 17A , the LCID field may be six bits in length, and the L field may be eight bits in length.  FIG. 17B  shows example of a MAC subheader with an R field, a F field, an LCID field, and an L field. In the example MAC subheader of  FIG. 17B , the LCID field may be six bits in length, and the L field may be sixteen bits in length. When a MAC subheader corresponds to a fixed sized MAC CE or padding, the MAC subheader may comprise: an R field with a two-bit length and an LCID field with a multi-bit length.  FIG. 17C  shows an example of a MAC subheader with an R field and an LCID field. In the example MAC subheader of  FIG. 17C , the LCID field may be six bits in length, and the R field may be two bits in length. 
       FIG. 18A  shows an example of a DL MAC PDU. Multiple MAC CEs, such as MAC CE 1 and 2, may be placed together. A MAC subPDU comprising a MAC CE may be placed before any MAC subPDU comprising a MAC SDU or a MAC subPDU comprising padding.  FIG. 18B  shows an example of a UL MAC PDU. Multiple MAC CEs, such as MAC CE 1 and 2, may be placed together. A MAC subPDU comprising a MAC CE may be placed after MAC subPDUs comprising a MAC SDU, e.g., after all MAC subPDUs comprising a MAC SDU. In addition, the MAC subPDU may be placed before a MAC subPDU comprising padding. 
     In an example, a MAC entity of a base station may transmit one or more MAC CEs to a MAC entity of a wireless device.  FIG. 19  shows an example of multiple LCIDs that may be associated with the one or more MAC CEs. The one or more MAC CEs comprise at least one of: a semi-persistent (SP) zero-power (ZP) CSI-RS Resource Set Activation/Deactivation MAC CE, a PUCCH spatial relation Activation/Deactivation MAC CE, a SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE, a SP CSI reporting on PUCCH Activation/Deactivation MAC CE, a transmission configuration indication (TCI) State Indication for UE-specific PDCCH MAC CE, a TCI State Indication for UE-specific PDSCH MAC CE, an Aperiodic CSI Trigger State Subselection MAC CE, a SP CSI-RS/CSI-IM Resource Set Activation/Deactivation MAC CE, e.g., CSI interference measurement (CSI-IM), a UE contention resolution identity MAC CE, a timing advance command MAC CE, a DRX command MAC CE, a Long DRX command MAC CE, an SCell activation/deactivation MAC CE (1 Octet), an SCell activation/deactivation MAC CE (4 Octet), and/or a duplication activation/deactivation MAC CE. In an example, a MAC CE, such as a MAC CE transmitted by a MAC entity of a base station to a MAC entity of a wireless device, may have an LCID in the MAC subheader corresponding to the MAC CE. Different MAC CE may have different LCID in the MAC subheader corresponding to the MAC CE. For example, an LCID given by 111011 in a MAC subheader may indicate that a MAC CE associated with the MAC subheader is a long DRX command MAC CE. 
     In an example, the MAC entity of the wireless device may transmit to the MAC entity of the base station one or more MAC CEs.  FIG. 20  shows an example of the one or more MAC CEs. The one or more MAC CEs may comprise at least one of: a short buffer status report (BSR) MAC CE, a long BSR MAC CE, a C-RNTI MAC CE, a configured grant confirmation MAC CE, a single entry power headroom report (PHR) MAC CE, a multiple entry PHR MAC CE, a short truncated BSR, and/or a long truncated BSR. In an example, a MAC CE may have an LCID in the MAC subheader corresponding to the MAC CE. Different MAC CE may have different LCID in the MAC subheader corresponding to the MAC CE. For example, an LCID given by 111011 in a MAC subheader may indicate that a MAC CE associated with the MAC subheader is a short-truncated command MAC CE. 
     In carrier aggregation (CA), two or more component carriers (CCs) may be aggregated. A wireless device may simultaneously receive or transmit on one or more CCs, depending on capabilities of the wireless device, using the technique of CA. In an example, a wireless device may support CA for contiguous CCs and/or for non-contiguous CCs. CCs may be organized into cells. For example, CCs may be organized into one primary cell (PCell) and one or more secondary cells (SCells). When configured with CA, a wireless device may have one RRC connection with a network. During an RRC connection establishment/re-establishment/handover, a cell providing NAS mobility information may be a serving cell. During an RRC connection re-establishment/handover procedure, a cell providing a security input may be a serving cell. In an example, the serving cell may denote a PCell. In an example, a base station may transmit, to a wireless device, one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of one or more SCells, depending on capabilities of the wireless device. 
     When configured with CA, a base station and/or a wireless device may employ an activation/deactivation mechanism of an SCell to improve battery or power consumption of the wireless device. When a wireless device is configured with one or more SCells, a base station may activate or deactivate at least one of the one or more SCells. Upon configuration of an SCell, the SCell may be deactivated unless an SCell state associated with the SCell is set to “activated” or “dormant”. 
     A wireless device may activate/deactivate an SCell in response to receiving an SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE. In an example, a base station may transmit, to a wireless device, one or more messages comprising an SCell timer (e.g., sCellDeactivationTimer). In an example, a wireless device may deactivate an SCell in response to an expiry of the SCell timer. 
     When a wireless device receives an SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE activating an SCell, the wireless device may activate the SCell. In response to the activating the SCell, the wireless device may perform operations comprising SRS transmissions on the SCell; CQI/PMI/RI/CRI reporting for the SCell, e.g., CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI); PDCCH monitoring on the SCell; PDCCH monitoring for the SCell; and/or PUCCH transmissions on the SCell. In response to the activating the SCell, the wireless device may start or restart a first SCell timer (e.g., sCellDeactivationTimer) associated with the SCell. The wireless device may start or restart the first SCell timer in the slot when the SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE activating the SCell has been received. In an example, in response to the activating the SCell, the wireless device may (re-)initialize one or more suspended configured uplink grants of a configured grant Type 1 associated with the SCell according to a stored configuration. In an example, in response to the activating the SCell, the wireless device may trigger PHR. 
     When a wireless device receives an SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE deactivating an activated SCell, the wireless device may deactivate the activated SCell. In an example, when a first SCell timer (e.g., sCellDeactivationTimer) associated with an activated SCell expires, the wireless device may deactivate the activated SCell. In response to the deactivating the activated SCell, the wireless device may stop the first SCell timer associated with the activated SCell. In an example, in response to the deactivating the activated SCell, the wireless device may clear one or more configured downlink assignments and/or one or more configured uplink grants of a configured uplink grant Type 2 associated with the activated SCell. In an example, in response to the deactivating the activated SCell, the wireless device may: suspend one or more configured uplink grants of a configured uplink grant Type 1 associated with the activated SCell; and/or flush HARQ buffers associated with the activated SCell. 
     When an SCell is deactivated, a wireless device may not perform operations comprising: transmitting SRS on the SCell; reporting CQI/PMI/RI/CRI for the SCell; transmitting on UL-SCH on the SCell; transmitting on RACH on the SCell; monitoring at least one first PDCCH on the SCell; monitoring at least one second PDCCH for the SCell; and/or transmitting a PUCCH on the SCell. When at least one first PDCCH on an activated SCell indicates an uplink grant or a downlink assignment, a wireless device may restart a first SCell timer (e.g., sCellDeactivationTimer) associated with the activated SCell. In an example, when at least one second PDCCH on a serving cell (e.g. a PCell or an SCell configured with PUCCH, e.g. PUCCH SCell) scheduling the activated SCell indicates an uplink grant or a downlink assignment for the activated SCell, a wireless device may restart the first SCell timer (e.g., sCellDeactivationTimer) associated with the activated SCell. In an example, when an SCell is deactivated, if there is an ongoing random access procedure on the SCell, a wireless device may abort the ongoing random access procedure on the SCell. 
       FIG. 21A  shows an example of an SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE of one octet. A first MAC PDU subheader with a first LCID (e.g., ‘111010’ as shown in  FIG. 19 ) may identify the SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE of one octet. The SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE of one octet may have a fixed size. The SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE of one octet may comprise a single octet. The single octet may comprise a first number of C-fields (e.g. seven) and a second number of R-fields (e.g., one).  FIG. 21B  shows an example of an SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE of four octets. A second MAC PDU subheader with a second LCID (e.g., ‘111001’ as shown in  FIG. 19 ) may identify the SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE of four octets. The SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE of four octets may have a fixed size. The SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE of four octets may comprise four octets. The four octets may comprise a third number of C-fields (e.g.,  31 ) and a fourth number of R-fields (e.g.,  1 ). 
     In  FIG. 21A  and/or  FIG. 21B , a C, field may indicate an activation/deactivation status of an SCell with an SCell index i if an SCell with SCell index i is configured. In an example, when the C, field is set to one, an SCell with an SCell index i may be activated. In an example, when the C, field is set to zero, an SCell with an SCell index i may be deactivated. In an example, if there is no SCell configured with SCell index i, the wireless device may ignore the C, field. In  FIG. 21A  and  FIG. 21B , an R field may indicate a reserved bit. The R field may be set to zero. 
     A base station may configure a wireless device with uplink (UL) bandwidth parts (BWPs) and downlink (DL) BWPs to enable bandwidth adaptation (BA) on a PCell. If carrier aggregation is configured, the base station may further configure the wireless device with at least DL BWP(s) (e.g., there may be no UL BWPs in the UL) to enable BA on an SCell. For the PCell, an initial active BWP may be a first BWP used for initial access. For the SCell, a first active BWP may be a second BWP configured for the wireless device to operate on the SCell upon the SCell being activated. In paired spectrum (e.g. FDD), a base station and/or a wireless device may independently switch a DL BWP and an UL BWP. In unpaired spectrum (e.g. TDD), a base station and/or a wireless device may simultaneously switch a DL BWP and an UL BWP. 
     In an example, a base station and/or a wireless device may switch a BWP between configured BWPs by means of a DCI or a BWP inactivity timer. When the BWP inactivity timer is configured for a serving cell, the base station and/or the wireless device may switch an active BWP to a default BWP in response to an expiry of the BWP inactivity timer associated with the serving cell. The default BWP may be configured by the network. In an example, for FDD systems, when configured with BA, one UL BWP for each uplink carrier and one DL BWP may be active at a time in an active serving cell. In an example, for TDD systems, one DL/UL BWP pair may be active at a time in an active serving cell. Operating on the one UL BWP and the one DL BWP (or the one DL/UL pair) may improve wireless device battery consumption. BWPs other than the one active UL BWP and the one active DL BWP that the wireless device may work on may be deactivated. On deactivated BWPs, the wireless device may: not monitor PDCCH; and/or not transmit on PUCCH, PRACH, and UL-SCH. 
     In an example, a serving cell may be configured with at most a first number (e.g., four) of BWPs. In an example, for an activated serving cell, there may be one active BWP at any point in time. In an example, a BWP switching for a serving cell may be used to activate an inactive BWP and deactivate an active BWP at a time. In an example, the BWP switching may be controlled by a PDCCH indicating a downlink assignment or an uplink grant. In an example, the BWP switching may be controlled by a BWP inactivity timer (e.g., bwp-InactivityTimer). In an example, the BWP switching may be controlled by a MAC entity in response to initiating a Random Access procedure. Upon addition of an SpCell or activation of an SCell, one BWP may be initially active without receiving a PDCCH indicating a downlink assignment or an uplink grant. The active BWP for a serving cell may be indicated by RRC and/or PDCCH. In an example, for unpaired spectrum, a DL BWP may be paired with a UL BWP, and BWP switching may be common for both UL and DL. 
     A base station may configure a wireless device with a list of one or more TCI-state configurations by a higher layer parameter PDSCH-Config for a serving cell. A number of the one or more TCI-states may depend on a capability of the wireless device. The wireless device may use the one or more TCI-states to decode a PDSCH according to a detected PDCCH with a DCI. The DCI may be intended for the wireless device and a serving cell of the wireless device. 
     In an example, a TCI-state of the one or more TCI-state configurations may contain one or more parameters. The wireless device may use the one or more parameters to configure a quasi co-location relationship between one or two downlink reference signals (e.g., first DL RS and second DL RS) and DM-RS ports of a PDSCH. The quasi co-location relationship may be configured by a higher layer parameter qcl-Type1 for the first DL RS. The quasi co-location relationship may be configured by a higher layer parameter qcl-Type2 for the second DL RS (if configured). 
     In an example, when the wireless device configures a quasi co-location relationship between the two downlink reference signals (e.g., first DL RS and second DL RS), a first QCL type of the first DL RS and a second QCL type of the second DL RS may not be the same. In an example, the first DL RS and the second DL RS may be the same. In an example, the first DL RS and the second DL RS may be different. 
     In an example, a quasi co-location type (e.g., the first QCL type, the second QCL type) of a DL RS (e.g., the first DL RS, the second DL RS) may be provided to the wireless device by a higher layer parameter qcl-Type in QCL-Info. The higher layer parameter QCL-Type may take at least one of: QCL-TypeA: {Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread}; QCL-TypeB: {Doppler shift, Doppler spread}; QCL-TypeC: {average delay, Doppler shift} and QCL-TypeD: {Spatial Rx parameter}. 
     In an example, a wireless device may receive an activation command. The activation command may be used to map one or more TCI-states (e.g., up to 8) to one or more codepoints of a DCI field “Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI)”. In an example, the wireless device may transmit a HARQ-ACK corresponding to a PDSCH in slot n. The PDSCH may comprise/carry the activation command. In response to the transmitting the HARQ-ACK in the slot n, the wireless device may apply the mapping between the one or more TCI-states and the one or more codepoints of the DCI field “Transmission Configuration Indication” starting from slot n+3N slot   subframe,μ +1. 
     In an example, after the wireless device receives an initial higher layer configuration of one or more TCI-states and before the reception of the activation command, the wireless device may assume that one or more DM-RS ports of a PDSCH of a serving cell are quasi co-located with an SSB/PBCH block. In an example, the wireless device may determine the SSB/PBCH block in an initial access procedure with respect to ‘QCL-TypeA’. In an example, the wireless device may determine the SSB/PBCH block in the initial access procedure with respect to ‘QCL-TypeD’ (when applicable). 
     In an example, a wireless device may be configured, by a base station, with a higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI. When the higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI is set as ‘enabled’ for a control resource set (CORESET) scheduling a PDSCH, the wireless device may assume that a TCI field is present in a DCI format (e.g., DCI format 1_1) of a PDCCH transmitted on the CORESET. 
     In an example, a base station may not configure a CORESET with a higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI. In an example, the CORESET may schedule a PDSCH. In an example, a time offset between a reception of a DCI (e.g., DCI format 1_1, DCI format 1_0) received in the CORESET and the (corresponding) PDSCH may be equal to or greater than a threshold (e.g., Threshold-Sched-Offset). In an example, the threshold may be based on a reported UE capability. In an example, the wireless device may apply a second TCI-state for the CORESET used for a PDCCH transmission of the DCI. In an example, the wireless device may apply a second QCL assumption for the CORESET used for a PDCCH transmission of the DCI. In an example, in response to the base station not configuring the CORESET with the higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI and the time offset between the reception of the DCI and the PDSCH being equal or greater than the threshold, the wireless device may perform a default PDSCH RS selection. In an example, in the default PDSCH RS selection, the wireless device may assume, in order to determine antenna port quasi co-location of the PDSCH, that a first TCI state or a first QCL assumption for the PDSCH is identical to the second TCI state or the second QCL assumption applied for the CORESET. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a CORESET with a higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI. In an example, the higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI may be set as “enabled”. In an example, the CORESET may schedule a PDSCH with a DCI (e.g., DCI format 1_0). In an example, the DCI may not comprise a TCI field. In an example, a time offset between a reception of the DCI received in the CORESET and the (corresponding) PDSCH may be equal to or greater than a threshold (e.g., Threshold-Sched-Offset). In an example, the threshold may be based on a reported UE capability. In an example, the wireless device may apply a second TCI state for the CORESET used for a PDCCH transmission of the DCI. In an example, the wireless device may apply a second QCL assumption for the CORESET used for a PDCCH transmission of the DCI. In an example, in response to the base station scheduling the PDSCH with the DCI not comprising the TCI field and the time offset between the reception of the DCI and the PDSCH being equal or greater than the threshold, the wireless device may perform a default PDSCH RS selection. In an example, in the default PDSCH RS selection, the wireless device may assume, in order to determine antenna port quasi co-location of the PDSCH, that a first TCI state or a first QCL assumption for the PDSCH is identical to the second TCI state or the second QCL assumption applied for the CORESET. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a CORESET with a higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI. In an example, the higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI may be set as “enabled”. The wireless device may receive a DCI in the CORESET of a scheduling component carrier. The DCI may comprise a TCI field. In response to the higher layer parameter TCI-PresentinDCI being set as ‘enabled’, the TCI field in the DCI in the scheduling component carrier may point to one or more activated TCI states (e.g., after receiving the activation command) in a scheduled component carrier or in a DL BWP. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a CORESET with a higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI. In an example, the higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI may be set as “enabled”. The wireless device may receive a DCI (e.g., DCI format 1_1) in the CORESET. In an example, the DCI may schedule a PDSCH of a wireless device. In an example, a TCI field may be present in the DCI. In an example, a time offset between a reception of the DCI and the (corresponding scheduled) PDSCH may be equal to or greater than a threshold (e.g., Threshold-Sched-Offset). In an example, the threshold may be based on a reported UE capability. In an example, in response to the TCI field being present in the DCI scheduling the PDSCH and the higher layer parameter TCI-PresentinDCI being set as ‘enabled’ for the CORESET, the wireless device may, in order to determine antenna port quasi co-location for the PDSCH, use a TCI-state according to a value of the TCI field in a detected PDCCH with the DCI. In an example, the using the TCI-state according to the value of the TCI field may comprise that the wireless device may assume that one or more DM-RS ports of the PDSCH of a serving cell are quasi co-located with one or more RS(s) in the TCI-state with respect to one or more QCL type parameter(s) given by the TCI-state when the time offset between the reception of the DCI and the PDSCH is equal or greater than the threshold. In an example, the value of the TCI field may indicate the TCI-state. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a wireless device with a single slot PDSCH. In an example, the single slot PDSCH may be scheduled in a slot. In an example, the base station may activate one or more TCI-states in the slot. In response to being configured with the single slot PDSCH, a TCI-state (e.g., indicated by a TCI field in a DCI scheduling the single slot PDSCH) may be based on the one or more activated TCI states in the slot with the scheduled single slot PDSCH. In an example, the TCI-state may be one of the one or more activated TCI-states in the slot. In an example, the TCI field in the DCI may indicate a TCI-state of the one or more activated TCI-states in the slot. 
     In an example, a wireless device may be configured with a CORESET. In an example, the CORESET may be associated with a search space set for cross-carrier scheduling. In an example, in response to the CORESET being associated with the search space set for cross-carrier scheduling, the wireless device may expect the higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI set as ‘enabled’ for the CORESET. In an example, a base station may configure a serving cell with one or more TCI-states. In an example, the wireless device may detect, in the search space set, a PDCCH, with a DCI, scheduling a PDSCH. In an example, a TCI field in the DCI may indicate at least one of the one or more TCI-states. In an example, the at least one of the one more TCI-states (scheduled by the search space set) may comprise/contain a QCL type (e.g., QCL-TypeD, etc.). In an example, in response to the at least one of the one or more TCI-states scheduled by the search space set containing the QCL type, the wireless device may expect a time offset between a reception of the PDCCH detected in the search space set and the (corresponding) PDSCH is larger than or equal to the threshold (e.g., Threshold-Sched-Offset). 
     In an example, a base station may configure a CORESET with a higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI. In an example, the higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI may be set as “enabled”. In an example, when the higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI is set to ‘enabled’ for the CORESET, an offset between a reception of a DCI in the CORESET and a PDSCH scheduled by the DCI may be less than the threshold (e.g., Threshold-Sched-Offset). 
     In an example, a base station may not configure a CORESET with a higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI. In an example, the wireless device may be in an RRC connected mode. In an example, the wireless device may be in an RRC idle mode. In an example, the wireless device may be in an RRC inactive mode. In an example, when the higher layer parameter TCI-PresentInDCI is not configured for the CORESET, an offset between a reception of a DCI in the coreset and a PDSCH scheduled by the DCI may be lower than the threshold (e.g., Threshold-Sched-Offset). 
     In an example, a wireless device may monitor one or more CORESETs (or one or more search spaces) within/in an active BWP (e.g., active downlink BWP) of a serving cell in one or more slots. In an example, the monitoring the one or more CORESETs within/in the active BWP of the serving cell in the one or more slots may comprise monitoring at least one CORESET within/in the active BWP of the serving cell in each slot of the one or more slots. In an example, a latest slot of the one or more slots may occur latest in time. In an example, the wireless device may monitor, within/in the active BWP of the serving cell, one or more second CORESETs of the one or more CORESETs in the latest slot. In response to the monitoring the one or more second CORESETs in the latest slot and the latest slot occurring latest in time, the wireless device may determine the latest slot. In an example, each CORESET of the one or more second CORESETs may be identified by a CORESET specific index (e.g., indicated by a higher layer CORESET-ID). In an example, a CORESET specific index of a CORESET of the one or more secondary CORESETs may be the lowest among the CORESET specific indices of the one or more second CORESETs. In an example, the wireless device may monitor a search space associated with the CORESET in the latest slot. In an example, in response to the CORESET specific index of the CORESET being the lowest and the monitoring the search space associated with the CORESET in the latest slot, the wireless device may select the CORESET of the one or more secondary CORESETs. 
     In an example, when the offset between the reception of the DCI in the CORESET and the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is lower than the threshold (e.g., Threshold-Sched-Offset), the wireless device may perform a default PDSCH RS selection. In an example, in the default PDSCH RS selection, the wireless device may assume that one or more DM-RS ports of the PDSCH of a serving cell are quasi co-located with one or more RSs in a TCI-state with respect to one or more QCL type parameter(s). The one or more RSs in the TCI-state may be used for PDCCH quasi co-location indication of the (selected) CORESET of the one or more second CORESETs. 
     In an example, a wireless device may receive a DCI via a PDCCH in a CORESET. In an example, the DCI may schedule a PDSCH. In an example, an offset between a reception of the DCI and the PDSCH may be less than a threshold (e.g., Threshold-Sched-Offset). A first QCL type (e.g., ‘QCL-TypeD’, etc.) of one or more DM-RS ports of the PDSCH may be different from a second QCL type (e.g., ‘QCL-TypeD’, etc.) of one or more second DM-RS ports of the PDCCH. In an example, the PDSCH and the PDCCH may overlap in at least one symbol. In an example, in response to the PDSCH and the PDCCH overlapping in at least one symbol and the first QCL type being different from the second QCL type, the wireless device may prioritize a reception of the PDCCH associated with the coreset. In an example, the prioritizing may apply to an intra-band CA case (when the PDSCH and the CORESET are in different component carriers). In an example, the prioritizing the reception of the PDCCH may comprise receiving the PDSCH with the second QCL type of one or more second DM-RS ports of the PDCCH. In an example, the prioritizing the reception of the PDCCH may comprise overwriting the first QCL type of the one or more DM-RS ports of the PDSCH with the second QCL type of the one or more second DM-RS ports of the PDCCH. In an example, the prioritizing the reception of the PDCCH may comprise assuming a spatial QCL of the PDCCH (e.g., the second QCL type), for the simultaneous reception of the PDCCH and PDSCH, on the PDSCH. In an example, the prioritizing the reception of the PDCCH may comprise applying a spatial QCL of the PDCCH (e.g., the second QCL type), for the simultaneous reception of the PDCCH and PDSCH, on the PDSCH. In an example, the prioritizing the reception of the PDCCH may comprise receiving the PDCCH and not receiving the PDSCH. 
     In an example, none of the configured TCI-states may contain a QCL type (e.g., ‘QCL-TypeD’). In response to the none of the configured TCI-states containing the QCL type, the wireless device may obtain the other QCL assumptions from the indicated TCI-states for its scheduled PDSCH irrespective of the time offset between the reception of the DCI and the corresponding PDSCH. 
     In an example, a wireless device may use CSI-RS for at least one of: time/frequency tracking, CSI computation, L1-RSRP computation and mobility. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a wireless device to monitor a CORESET on one or more symbols. In an example, a CSI-RS resource may be associated with a NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet. A higher layer parameter repetition of the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet may be set to ‘on’. In an example, in response to the CSI-RS resource being associated with the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet with the higher layer parameter repetition set to ‘on’, the wireless device may not expect to be configured with a CSI-RS of the CSI-RS resource over the one or more symbols. 
     In an example, a higher layer parameter repetition of the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet may not be set to ‘on’. In an example, a base station may configure a CSI-RS resource and one or more search space sets associated with a CORESET in the same one or more symbols (e.g., OFDM symbols). In an example, in response to the higher layer parameter repetition of the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet not being set to ‘on’, and the CSI-RS resource and the one or more search space sets associated with the CORESET being configured in the same one or more symbols, the wireless device may assume that a CSI-RS of the CSI-RS resource and one or more DM-RS ports of a PDCCH are quasi co-located with ‘QCL-TypeD’. In an example, the base station may transmit the PDCCH in the one or more search space sets associated with the CORESET. 
     In an example, a higher layer parameter repetition of the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet may not be set to ‘on’. In an example, a base station may configure a CSI-RS resource of a first cell and one or more search space sets associated with a CORESET of a second cell in the same one or more symbols (e.g., OFDM symbols). In an example, in response to the higher layer parameter repetition of the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet not being set to ‘on’, and the CSI-RS resource and the one or more search space sets associated with the CORESET being configured in the same one or more symbols, the wireless device may assume that a CSI-RS of the CSI-RS resource and one or more DM-RS ports of a PDCCH are quasi co-located with ‘QCL-TypeD’. In an example, the base station may transmit the PDCCH in the one or more search space sets associated with the CORESET. In an example, the first cell and the second cell may be in different intra-band component carriers. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a wireless device with a CSI-RS in a first set of PRBs. In an example, the base station may configure the wireless device with one or more search space sets associated with a CORESET in one or more symbols (e.g., OFDM symbols) and in a second set of PRBs. In an example, the wireless device may not expect the first set of PRBs sand the second set of PRBs overlapping in the one or more symbols. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a wireless device with a CSI-RS resource and an SS/PBCH block in the same one or more (OFDM) symbols. In an example, in response to the CSI-RS resource and the SS/PBCH block being configured in the same one or more (OFDM) symbols, the wireless device may assume that the CSI-RS resource and the SS/PBCH block are quasi co-located with a QCL type (e.g., ‘QCL-TypeD’). 
     In an example, the base station may configure the CSI-RS resource in a first set of PRBs for the wireless device. In an example, the base station may configure the SS/PBCH block in a second set of PRBs for the wireless device. In an example, the wireless device may not expect the first set of PRBs overlapping with the second set of PRBs. 
     In an example, the base station may configure the CSI-RS resource with a first subcarrier spacing for the wireless device. In an example, the base station may configure the SS/PBCH block with a second subcarrier spacing for the wireless device. In an example, the wireless device may expect the first subcarrier spacing and the second subcarrier spacing being the same. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a wireless device with a NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet. In an example, the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet may be configured with a higher layer parameter repetition set to ‘on’. In an example, in response to the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet being configured with the higher layer parameter repetition set to ‘on’, the wireless device may assume that the base station transmits one or more CSI-RS resources within the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet with the same downlink spatial domain transmission (Tx) filter. In an example, the base station may transmit each CSI-RS resource of the one or more CSI-RS resources in different symbols (e.g., OFDM symbols). 
     In an example, the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet may be configured with a higher layer parameter repetition set to ‘off’. In an example, in response to the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet being configured with the higher layer parameter repetition set to ‘off’, the wireless device may not assume that the base station transmits one or more CSI-RS resources within the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet with the same downlink spatial domain transmission filter. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a wireless device with a higher layer parameter groupBasedBeamReporting. In an example, the base station may set the higher layer parameter groupBasedBeamReporting to “enabled”. In response to the higher layer parameter groupBasedBeamReporting set to “enabled”, the wireless device may report at least two different resource indicators (e.g., CRI, SSBRI) in a single reporting instance for a reporting setting of one or more report settings. In an example, the wireless device may receive at least two RSs (e.g., CSI-RS, SSB) indicated by the at least two different resource indicators simultaneously. In an example, the wireless device may receive the at least two RSs simultaneously with a single spatial domain reception (Rx) filter. In an example, the wireless device may receive the at least two RSs simultaneously with a plurality of simultaneous spatial domain Rx filters. 
     In an example, a base station may need (additional) one or more user equipment (UE) radio access capability information of a wireless device. In response to the needing the one or more UE radio access capability information, the base station may initiate a procedure to request the one or more UE radio access capability information (e.g., by an information element UECapabilityEnquiry) from the wireless device. In an example, the wireless device may use an information element (e.g., UECapabilityInformation message) to transfer one or more UE radio access capability information requested by the base station. In an example, the wireless device may provide a threshold (e.g., timeDurationForQCL, Threshold-Sched-Offset) in FeatureSetDownlink indicating a set of features that the wireless device supports. 
     In an example, the threshold may comprise a minimum number of OFDM symbols required by the wireless device to perform a PDCCH reception with a DCI and to apply a spatial QCL information (e.g., TCI-state, etc.) received in (or indicated by) the DCI for a processing of a PDSCH scheduled by the DCI. 
     In an example, the wireless device may require the minimum number of OFDM symbols between the PDCCH reception and the processing of the PDSCH to apply the spatial QCL information, indicated by the DCI, to the PDSCH. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a wireless device with one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets by a higher layer parameter SRS-ResourceSet. In an example, for an SRS resource set of the one or more SRS resource sets, the base station may configure the wireless device with one or more SRS resources by a higher layer parameter SRS-Resource. In an example, the wireless device may indicate a maximum value of a number of the one or more SRS resources to the base station (e.g., by SRS_capability). In an example, the base station may configure an applicability of the SRS resource set by a higher layer parameter usage in the higher layer parameter SRS-ResourceSet. 
     In an example, when the higher layer parameter usage is set to ‘BeamManagement’, the wireless device may transmit, at a given time instant, one SRS resource of the one or more SRS resources in each SRS resource set (e.g., simultaneously). In an example, the wireless device may determine that the one SRS resource of the one or more SRS resources in each SRS resource set may have the same time domain behaviour in a same BWP (e.g., uplink BWP). In an example, in response to the determining, the wireless device may transmit the one SRS resource of the one or more SRS resources in each SRS resource set in the same BWP simultaneously.

In an example, a first field (e.g., Resource IDi) in the activation command may comprise an identifier of a resource (e.g., SS/PBCH block, NZP CSI-RS, SRS) used for spatial relationship derivation for an SRS resource of the one or more SRS resources. In an example, the one or more spatial relation assumptions may be provided by a list of references to one or more reference signal IDs (e.g., SSB-Index, SRS-ResourceId, etc), one per SRS resource of the (activated) SRS resource set. In an example, a spatial relation assumption of the one or more spatial relation assumption may be provided by a reference to an ID of a reference RS. In an example, the reference RS may be SS/PBCH block, NZP CSI-RS resource, or SRS. 
     In an example, a Resource Serving Cell ID field indicating a serving cell may be present in the activation command. In an example, the reference RS may be an SS/PBCH block resource or a NZP CSI-RS resource.

     In an example, the base station may configure the SRS resource set on an uplink BWP of a serving cell. In an example, a Resource Serving Cell ID field and a Resource BWP ID field may be absent in the activation command. In response to the Resource Serving Cell ID field and the Resource BWP ID field being absent and the SRS resource set being configured on the uplink BWP of the serving cell, the reference RS (e.g., SRS resource) may be configured on the uplink BWP of the serving cell. 
     In an example, the base station may configure an SRS resource in the (activated) SRS resource set with a higher layer parameter spatialRelationInfo. In response to the SRS resource, in the (activated) SRS resource set, being configured with the higher layer parameter spatialRelationInfo, the wireless device may assume that a reference RS (e.g., indicated by an ID of the reference RS) in the activation command overrides a second reference RS configured in the higher layer parameter spatialRelationInfo. 
     In an example, the wireless device may receive, from the base station, a deactivation command (e.g., SP SRS Activation/Deactivation MAC CE) for an (activated) SRS resource set of the one or more SRS resource sets. In an example, a PDSCH may carry the deactivation command. In an example, the wireless device may transmit an HARQ-ACK for the PDSCH in a slot n. In an example, in response to the transmitting the HARQ-ACK for the PDSCH in the slot n, the wireless device may apply one or more assumptions/actions for a cessation of an SRS transmission of the (deactivated) SRS resource set starting from the slot n+3N slot   subframe,μ +1. 
     In an example, a wireless device may activate a semi-persistent SRS resource configuration on an uplink BWP of a serving cell in response to receiving, from a base station, an activation command for the semi-persistent SRS resource configuration. In an example, the wireless device may not receive, from the base station, a deactivation command for the semi-persistent SRS resource configuration. 
     In an example, the uplink BWP may be an active uplink BWP of the serving cell. In an example, in response to the uplink BWP being the active uplink BWP of the serving cell and not receiving the deactivation command for the semi-persistent SRS resource configuration, the wireless device may consider the semi-persistent SRS resource configuration active.

     In an example, the uplink BWP may not be an active uplink BWP of the serving cell. In an example, the uplink BWP not being the active uplink BWP may comprise the uplink BWP being deactivated in the serving cell. In response to not receiving the deactivation command for the semi-persistent SRS resource configuration and the uplink BWP being deactivated, the wireless device may assume that the semi-persistent SRS configuration is suspended in the UL BWP of the serving cell.

     In an example, a first SRS resource of an SRS resource set may have a first time domain behavior (e.g., periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic, etc.). In an example, a second SRS resource of the SRS resource set may have a second time domain behavior (e.g., periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic, etc.). In an example, in response to the first SRS resource and the second SRS resource being in the (same) SRS resource set, the wireless device may expect that the first time domain behavior and the second time behavior are the same.

In an example, the wireless device may receive the configuration of the at least two TCI-states from the base station. In an example, the wireless device may receive a MAC-CE activation command for at least one of the at least two TCI-states for the CORESET. In an example, in response to the CORESET index being equal to zero, the wireless device may expect that a QCL type (e.g., QCL-TypeD) of a first RS (e.g., CSI-RS) in the at least one of the at least two TCI-states is provided by a second RS (e.g., SS/PBCH block). In an example, in response to the CORESET index being equal to zero, the wireless device may expect that a QCL type (e.g., QCL-TypeD) of a first RS (e.g., CSI-RS) in the at least one of the at least two TCI states is spatial QCL-ed with a second RS (e.g., SS/PBCH block). 
     In an example, a wireless device may receive a MAC-CE activation command for at least one of at least two TCI-states for a CORESET. In an example, a PDSCH may provide the MAC-CE activation command. In an example, the wireless device may transmit a HARQ-ACK information for the PDSCH in a slot. In an example, when the wireless device receives the MAC-CE activation command for the at least one of the at least two TCI-states for the CORESET, in response to the transmitting HARQ-ACK information in the slot, the wireless device may apply the MAC-CE activation command X msec (e.g., 3 msec, 5 msec) after the slot. In an example, when the wireless device applies the MAC-CE activation command in a second slot, a first BWP may be active in the second slot. In response to the first BWP being active in the second slot, the first BWP may be an active BWP. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a wireless device with one or more DL BWPs in a serving cell. In an example, for a DL BWP of the one or more DL BWPs, the wireless device may be provided by higher layers with one or more (e.g., 3, 5, 10) search space sets. In an example, for a search space set of the one or more search space sets, the wireless device may be provided, by a higher layer parameter SearchSpace, at least one of: a search space set index (e.g., provided by higher layer parameter searchSpaceId), an association between the search space set and a CORESET (e.g., provided by a higher layer parameter controlResourceSetId); a PDCCH monitoring periodicity of a first number of slots and a PDCCH monitoring offset of a second number of slots (e.g., provided by a higher layer parameter monitoringSlotPeriodicityAndOffset); a PDCCH monitoring pattern within a slot, indicating first symbol(s) of the CORESET within the slot for PDCCH monitoring, (e.g., provided by a higher layer parameter monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot); a duration of a third number of slots (e.g., provided by a higher layer parameter duration); a number of PDCCH candidates; an indication that the search space set is either a common search space set or a UE-specific search space set (e.g., provided by a higher layer parameter searchSpaceType). In an example, the duration may indicate a number of slots that the search space set may exist. 
     In an example, a wireless device may not expect two PDCCH monitoring occasions on an active DL BWP, for a same search space set or for different search space sets, in a same CORESET to be separated by a non-zero number of symbols that is smaller than the CORESET duration. 
     In an example, the wireless device may determine a PDCCH monitoring occasion on an active DL BWP based on the PDCCH monitoring periodicity, the PDCCH monitoring offset, and the PDCCH monitoring pattern within a slot. In an example, for the search space set, the wireless device may determine that a PDCCH monitoring occasion exists in a slot. In an example, the wireless device may monitor at least one PDCCH for the search space set for the duration of third number of slots (consecutive) starting from the slot. 
     In an example, a wireless device may monitor one or more PDCCH candidates in a UE-specific search space (USS) set on an active DL BWP of a serving cell. In an example, a base station may not configure the wireless device with a carrier indicator field. In response to not being configured with the carrier indicator field, the wireless device may monitor the one or more PDCCH candidates without the carrier indicator field. 
     In an example, a wireless device may monitor one or more PDCCH candidates in a USS set on an active DL BWP of a serving cell. In an example, a base station may configure the wireless device with a carrier indicator field. In response to being configured with the carrier indicator field, the wireless device may monitor the one or more PDCCH candidates with the carrier indicator field. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a wireless device to monitor one or more PDCCH candidates with a carrier indicator field in a first cell. In an example, the carrier indicator field may indicate a second cell. In an example, the carrier indicator field may correspond to a second cell. In response to monitoring the one or more PDCCH candidates, in the first cell, with the carrier indicator field indicating the second cell, the wireless device may not expect to monitor the one or more PDCCH candidates on an active DL BWP of the second cell. 
     In an example, a wireless device may monitor one or more PDCCH candidates on an active DL BWP of a serving cell. In response to the monitoring the one or more PDCCH candidates on the active DL BWP of the serving cell, the wireless device may monitor the one or more PDCCH candidates for the serving cell. 
     In an example, a wireless device may monitor one or more PDCCH candidates on an active DL BWP of a serving cell. In response to the monitoring the one or more PDCCH candidates on the active DL BWP of the serving cell, the wireless device may monitor the one or more PDCCH candidates at least for the serving cell. In an example, the wireless device may monitor the one or more PDCCH candidates for the serving cell and at least a second serving cell. 
     In an example, a base station may configure a wireless device with one or more cells. In an example, when a number of the one or more cells is one, the base station may configure the wireless device for a single-cell operation. In an example, when a number of the one or more cells is more than one, the base station may configure the wireless device for an operation with a carrier aggregation in a same frequency band (e.g., intra-band). 
     In an example, the wireless device may monitor one or more PDCCH candidates in overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions in a plurality of CORESETs on active DL BWP(s) of the one or more cells. In an example, the plurality of the CORESETs may have a different QCL-TypeD property. 
     In an example, a first PDCCH monitoring occasion in a first CORESET, of the plurality of CORESETs, of a first cell of the one or more cells may overlap with a second PDCCH monitoring occasion in a second CORESET, of the plurality of CORESETs, of the first cell. In an example, the wireless device may monitor at least one first PDCCH candidate in the first PDCCH monitoring occasion on an active DL BWP, of the active DL BWP(s), of the first cell. In an example, the wireless device may monitor at least one second PDCCH candidate in the second PDCCH monitoring occasion on the active DL BWP, of the active DL BWP(s), of the first cell. 
     In an example, a first PDCCH monitoring occasion in a first CORESET, of the plurality of CORESETs, of a first cell of the one or more cells may overlap with a second PDCCH monitoring occasion in a second CORESET, of the plurality of CORESETs, of a second cell of the one or more cells. In an example, the wireless device may monitor at least one first PDCCH candidate in the first PDCCH monitoring occasion on a first active DL BWP, of the active DL BWP(s), of the first cell. In an example, the wireless device may monitor at least one second PDCCH candidate in the second PDCCH monitoring occasion on a second active DL BWP, of the active DL BWP(s), of the second cell. 
     In an example, a first QCL type property (e.g., QCL-TypeD) of the first CORESET may be different from a second QCL type property (e.g., QCL-TypeD) of the second CORESET. 
     In an example, in response to the monitoring the one or more PDCCH candidates in the overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions in the plurality of CORESETs and the plurality of the CORESETs having the different QCL-TypeD property, for a CORESET determination rule, the wireless device may determine a selected CORESET, of the plurality of the CORESETs, of a cell of the one or more cells. In an example, in response to the determining, the wireless device may monitor at least one PDCCH candidate, in the overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions, in the selected CORESET on an active DL BWP of the cell. In an example, the selected CORESET may be associated with a search space set (e.g., association provided by a higher layer parameter controlResourceSetId). 
     In an example, one or more CORESETs of the plurality of CORESETs may be associated with a common search space (CSS) set. In an example, the one or more CORESETs of the plurality of CORESETs being associated with the CSS set may comprise that at least one search space set of a CORESET (e.g., association between the at least one search space set and the CORESET provided by a higher layer parameter controlResourceSetId) of the one or more CORESETs has at least one PDCCH candidate in the overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions and/or in a CSS set. 
     In an example, the first CORESET may be associated with a first CSS set. In an example, the first CORESET may be associated with a first USS set. In an example, the second CORESET may be associated with a second CSS set. In an example, the second CORESET may be associated with a second USS set. In an example, a CORESET (e.g., the first CORESET, the second CORESET) being associated with a CSS set (e.g., first CSS set, second CSS set) may comprise that at least one search space of the CORESET is the CSS set. In an example, a CORESET (e.g., the first CORESET, the second CORESET) being associated with an USS set (e.g., first USS set, second USS set) may comprise that at least one search space of the CORESET is the USS set. 
     In an example, when the first CORESET is associated with the first CSS set and the second CORESET is associated with the second CSS set, the one or more CORESETs may comprise the first CORESET and the second CORESET. 
     In an example, when the one or more CORESETs comprises the first CORESET and the second CORESET, the one or more selected cells may comprise the first cell and the second cell in response to the first CORESET being configured in the first cell and the second CORESET being configured in the second cell. 
     In an example, when the one or more CORESETs comprises the first CORESET and the second CORESET, the one or more selected cells may comprise the first cell in response to the first CORESET being configured in the first cell and the second CORESET being configured in the first cell. In an example, the at least one CORESET may comprise the first CORESET and the second CORESET. In an example, a first search space set of the first CORESET of the at least one CORESET may be identified by a first search space set specific index (e.g., provided by a higher layer parameter searchSpaceId). In an example, the wireless device may monitor the at least one first PDCCH candidate in the first PDCCH monitoring occasion in the first CORESET associated with the first search space set (e.g., association provided by a higher layer parameter controlResourceSetId). In an example, a second search space set of the second coreset of the at least one CORESET may be identified by a second search space set specific index (e.g., provided by a higher layer parameter searchSpaceId). In an example, the wireless device may monitor the at least one second PDCCH candidate in the second PDCCH monitoring occasion in the second CORESET associated with the second search space set (e.g., association provided by a higher layer parameter controlResourceSetId). In an example, the first search space set specific index may be lower than the second search space set specific index. In response to the first search space set specific index being lower than the second search space set specific index, for a CORESET determination rule, the wireless device may select the first search space set. In an example, in response to the selecting, for the coreset determination rule, the wireless device may monitor the at least one first PDCCH candidate in the first PDCCH monitoring occasion in the first CORESET on the active DL BWP of the first cell. In an example, in response to the selecting, for the coreset determination rule, the wireless device may stop monitoring the at least one second PDCCH candidate in the second PDCCH monitoring occasion in the second CORESET on the active DL BWP of the first cell. In an example, in response to the selecting, the wireless device may drop monitoring the at least one second PDCCH candidate in the second PDCCH monitoring occasion in the second CORESET on the active DL BWP of the first cell. 
     In an example, the first cell may be identified by a first cell-specific index. In an example, the second cell may be identified by a second cell-specific index. In an example, the first cell-specific index may be lower than the second cell-specific index. In an example, when the one or more selected cells comprises the first cell and the second cell, the wireless device may select the first cell in response to the first cell-specific index being lower than the second cell-specific index. 
     In an example, when the first CORESET is associated with the first CSS set and the second CORESET is associated with the second USS set, the one or more CORESETs may comprise the first CORESET. In an example, when the one or more CORESETs comprises the first CORESET, the one or more selected cells may comprise the first cell in response to the first CORESET being configured in the first cell. 
     In an example, when the first CORESET is associated with the first USS set and the second CORESET is associated with the second CSS set, the one or more CORESETs may comprise the second CORESET. In an example, when the one or more CORESETs comprises the second CORESET, the one or more selected cells may comprise the first cell in response to the second CORESET being configured in the first cell. In an example, when the one or more CORESETs comprises the second CORESET, the one or more selected cells may comprise the second cell in response to the second CORESET being configured in the second cell. 
     In an example, the wireless device may determine that the one or more CORESETs are associated with one or more selected cells of the one or more cells. In an example, the base station may configure a first CORESET of the one or more CORESETs in a first cell of the one or more selected cells. In an example, the base station may configure a second CORESET of the one or more CORESETs in the first cell. In an example, the base station may configure a third CORESET of the one or more CORESETs in a second cell of the one or more selected cells. In an example, the first cell and the second cell may be different. 
     In an example, the wireless device may receive, from the base station, one or more configuration parameters. The one or more configuration parameters may indicate cell-specific indices (e.g., provided by a higher layer parameter servCellIndex) for the one or more cells. In an example, each cell of the one or more cells may be identified by a respective one cell-specific index of the cell-specific indices. In an example, a cell-specific index of a cell of the one or more selected cells may be lowest among the cell-specific indices of the one or more selected cells. 
     In an example, when the wireless device determines that the one or more CORESETs are associated with the one or more selected cells of the one or more cells, for the CORESET determination rule, the wireless device may select the cell in response to the cell-specific index of the cell being lowest among the cell-specific indices of the one or more selected cells. 
     In an example, the base station may configure at least one CORESET of the one or more CORESETs in the (selected) cell. In an example, at least one search space set of the at least one CORESET may have at least one PDCCH candidate in the overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions and/or may be a CSS set. 
     In an example, the one or more configuration parameters may indicate search space set specific indices (e.g., provided by a higher layer parameter searchSpaceId) for the at least one search space set of the cell. In an example, each search space set of the at least one search space set may be identified by a respective one search space set specific index of the search space set specific indices. In an example, the wireless device may determine that a search space specific index of a search space set of the at least one search space set may be the lowest among the search space set specific indices of the at least one search space set. In response to the determining that the search space specific index of the search space set specific index being the lowest among the search space set specific indices of the at least one search space set, for the CORESET determination rule, the wireless device may select the search space set. In an example, the search space set may be associated with a selected CORESET of the at least one CORESET (e.g., association provided by a higher layer parameter controlResourceSetId). 
     In an example, when the wireless device monitors the one or more PDCCH candidates in the overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions in the plurality of CORESETs and the plurality of the CORESETs have the different QCL-TypeD property, the wireless device may monitor at least one PDCCH in the selected CORESET of the plurality of the CORESETs on an active DL BWP of the cell of the one or more cells in response to the selecting the cell and/or the selecting the search space set associated with the selected CORESET. In an example, the wireless device may select the selected CORESET associated with the search space set and the cell for the CORESET determination rule. 
     In an example, the selected CORESET may have a first QCL-TypeD property. In an example, a second CORESET of the plurality of the CORESETs may have a second QCL-TypeD property. In an example, the selected CORESET and the second CORESET may be different. 
     In an example, the first QCL-TypeD property and the second QCL-TypeD property may be the same. In an example, the wireless device may monitor at least one second PDCCH candidate (in the overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions) in the second CORESET of the plurality of the CORESETs in response to the first QCL-TypeD property of the selected CORESET and the second QCL-TypeD property of the second CORESET being the same. 
     In an example, the first QCL-TypeD property and the second QCL-TypeD property may be different. In an example, the wireless device may stop monitoring at least one second PDCCH candidate (in the overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions) in the second CORESET of the plurality of the CORESETs in response to the first QCL-TypeD property of the selected CORESET and the second QCL-TypeD property of the second CORESET being different. In an example, the wireless device may drop monitoring at least one second PDCCH candidate (in the overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions) in the second CORESET of the plurality of the CORESETs in response to the first QCL-TypeD property of the selected CORESET and the second QCL-TypeD property of the second CORESET being different. 
     In an example, for the CORESET determination rule, a wireless device may consider that a first QCL type (e.g., QCL TypeD) property of a first RS (e.g., SS/PBCH block) is different from a second QCL type (e.g., QCL TypeD) property of a second RS (CSI-RS). 
     In an example, for the CORESET determination rule, a first RS (e.g., CSI-RS) may be associated (e.g., QCL-ed) with an RS (e.g., SS/PBCH block) in a first cell. In an example, a second RS (e.g., CSI-RS) may be associated (e.g., QCL-ed) with the RS in a second cell. In response to the first RS and the second RS being associated with the RS, the wireless device may consider that a first QCL type (e.g., QCL TypeD) property of the first RS and a second QCL type (e.g., QCL TypeD) property of the second RS are the same. 
     In an example, the wireless device may determine a number of active TCI-states from the plurality of CORESETs. 
     In an example, a wireless device may monitor multiple search space sets associated with different CORESETs for one or more cells (e.g., for a single cell operation or for an operation with carrier aggregation in a same frequency band). In an example, at least two monitoring occasions of at least two search space sets of the multiple search space sets may overlap in time (e.g., at least one symbol, at least one slot, subframe, etc). In an example, the at least two search space sets may be associated with at least two first CORESETs. The at least two first CORESETs may have different QCL-TypeD properties. In an example, for the CORESET determination rule, the wireless device may monitor at least one search space set associated with a selected CORESET in an active DL BWP of a cell. In an example, the at least one search space set may be a CSS set. In an example, a cell-specific index of the cell may be lowest among cell-specific indices of the one or more cells comprising the cell. In an example, at least two second CORESETs of the cell may comprise a CSS set. In response to the at least two second CORESETs of the cell comprising the CSS set, the wireless device may select a selected CORESET of the at least two second CORESETs in response to a search space specific index of a search space set associated with the selected CORESET being the lowest among search space specific indices of search space sets associated with the at least two second CORESETs. In an example, the wireless device may monitor the search space set in the at least two monitoring occasions. 
     In an example, the wireless device may determine that the at least two first CORESETs may not be associated with a CSS set. In an example, the wireless device may determine that each CORESET of the at least two first CORESETs may not be associated with a CSS set. In an example, for the CORESET determination rule, in response to the determining, the wireless device may monitor at least one search space set associated with a selected CORESET in an active DL BWP of a cell. In an example, the at least one search space set may be a USS set. In an example, a cell-specific index of the cell may be lowest among cell-specific indices of the one or more cells comprising the cell. In an example, at least two second CORESETs of the cell may comprise a USS set. In response to the at least two second CORESETs of the cell comprising the USS set, the wireless device may select a selected CORESET of the at least two second CORESETs in response to a search space specific index of a search space set associated with the selected CORESET being the lowest among search space specific indices of search space sets associated with the at least two second CORESETs. In an example, the wireless device monitors the search space set in the at least two monitoring occasions. 
     In an example, a base station may indicate, to a wireless device, a TCI-state for a PDCCH reception for a CORESET of a serving cell by sending a TCI-state indication for UE-specific PDCCH MAC-CE. In an example, when a MAC entity of the wireless device receives a TCI-state indication for UE-specific PDCCH MAC-CE on/for a serving cell, the MAC entity may indicate to lower layers (e.g., PHY) the information regarding the TCI-state indication for the UE-specific PDCCH MAC-CE. 
     In an example, a TCI-state indication for UE-specific PDCCH MAC-CE may be identified by a MAC PDU subheader with LCID. The TCI-state indication for UE-specific PDCCH MAC-CE may have a fixed size of 16 bits comprising one or more fields. In an example, the one or more fields may comprise a serving cell ID, CORESET ID, TCI-state ID and a reserved bit. 
     In an example, the serving cell ID may indicate the identity of the serving cell for which the TCI-state indication for the UE-specific PDCCH MAC-CE applies. The length of the serving cell ID may be n bits (e.g., n=5 bits). 
     In an example, the CORESET ID may indicate a control resource set. The control resource set may be identified with a control resource set ID (e.g., ControlResourceSetId). The TCI-state is being indicated to the control resource set ID for which. The length of the CORESET ID may be n3 bits (e.g., n3=4 bits). 
     In an example, the TCI-state ID may indicate a TCI-state identified by TCI-StateId. The TCI-state may be applicable to the control resource set identified by the CORESET ID. The length of the TCI-state ID may be n4 bits (e.g., n4=6 bits). 
     An information element ControlResourceSet may be used to configure a time/frequency control resource set (CORESET) in which to search for downlink control information. 
     An information element TCI-State may associate one or two DL reference signals with a corresponding quasi-colocation (QCL) type. The information element TCI-State may comprise one or more fields including TCI-StateId and QCL-Info. The QCL-Info may comprise one or more second fields. The one or more second fields may comprise serving cell index, BWP ID, a reference signal index (e.g., SSB-index, NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceID), and a QCL Type (e.g., QCL-typeA, QCL-typeB, QCL-typeC, QCL-typeD). In an example, the TCI-StateID may identify a configuration of a TCI-state. 
     In an example, the serving cell index may indicate a serving cell in which a reference signal indicated by the reference signal index is located in. When the serving cell index is absent in an information element TCI-State, the information element TCI-State may apply to a serving cell in which the information element TCI-State is configured. The reference signal may be located on a second serving cell other than the serving cell in which the information element TCI-State is configured only if the QCL-Type is configured as first type (e.g., TypeD, TypeA, TypeB). In an example, the BWP ID may indicate a downlink BWP of the serving cell in which the reference signal is located in. 
     An information element SearchSpace may define how/where to search for PDCCH candidates in a search space. The search space may be identified by a searchSpaceId field in the information element SearchSpace. Each search space may be associated with a control resource set (e.g., ControlResourceSet). The control resource set may be identified by a controlResourceSetId field in the information element SearchSpace. The controlResourceSetId field may indicate the control resource set (CORESET) applicable for the SearchSpace. 
     In an example, a base station may use an information element (IE) CSI-AperiodicTriggerStateList to configure a wireless device with one or more aperiodic trigger states (e.g., 1, 64, 128 aperiodic trigger states). A codepoint of a CSI request field in a DCI may be associated with (or indicate) an aperiodic trigger state of the one or more aperiodic trigger states. In an example, the aperiodic trigger state may comprise one or more report configurations (e.g., 1, 8, 16 report configurations, provided by a higher layer parameter associatedReportConfigInfoList). Based on receiving the DCI with the CSI request field indicating the aperiodic trigger state, the wireless device may perform measurement of CSI-RS and aperiodic reporting according to the one or more report configurations (e.g., in the associatedReportConfigInfoList) for the aperiodic trigger state. 
     In an example, a report configuration (e.g., provided by a higher layer parameter CSI-AssociatedReportConfigInfo) of the one or more report configurations may be identified/associated with a report configuration index (e.g., provided by a higher layer parameter CSI-ReportConfigId). In an example, the report configuration may comprise one or more CSI-RS resources (e.g., 1, 8, 16 CSI-RS resources). In an example, an aperiodic CSI-RS resource of the one or more CSI-RS resources may be associated with a TCI state (provided by a higher layer parameter qcl-info in IE CSI-AperiodicTriggerStateList) of one or more TCI-State configurations. The TCI state may provide a QCL assumption (e.g., an RS, an RS source, SS/PBCH block, CSI-RS). The TCI state may provide a QCL type (e.g., QCL-TypeA, QCL-TypeD, etc.). 
     In an example, the wireless device may receive a DCI with a CSI request field from a base station. The wireless device may receive the DCI in a PDCCH. The wireless device may receive the DCI when monitoring the PDCCH. In an example, the DCI with the CSI request field may initiate/indicate/trigger an aperiodic trigger state of the one or more aperiodic trigger states. In an example, a codepoint of the CSI request field in the DCI may indicate the aperiodic trigger state. In an example, the aperiodic trigger state may comprise one or more report configurations (e.g., a list of NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet). In an example, a report configuration (e.g., NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet) of the one or more report configurations may comprise one or more CSI-RS resources (e.g., aperiodic CSI-RS resources, NZP-CSI-RS-Resources). 
     In an example, the base station may not configure the report configuration with a higher layer parameter trs-Info. In an example, configuring the report configuration without the higher layer parameter trs-Info may comprise that a first antenna port for a first aperiodic CSI-RS resource of the one or more CSI-RS resources is different from a second antenna port for a second aperiodic CSI-RS resource of the one or more CSI resources. In an example, configuring the report configuration without the higher layer parameter trs-Info may comprise that an antenna port for each aperiodic CSI-RS resource of the one or more CSI-RS resources is different. In an example, the base station may not configure the report configuration with a higher layer parameter repetition. In an example, a scheduling offset between a last symbol of the PDCCH carrying the DCI and a first symbol of the one or more CSI-RS resources in the report configuration may be smaller than a second threshold (e.g., beamSwitchTiming). In an example, the wireless device may report the second threshold. In an example, the second threshold may be a first value (e.g., 14, 28, 48 symbols). 
     In an example, an aperiodic CSI-RS resource of the one or more CSI-RS resources may be associated with a first TCI state of the one or more TCI-State configurations. In an example, the first TCI state may indicate at least one first RS. In an example, the first TCI state may indicate at least one first QCL type. In an example, the aperiodic CSI-RS resource being associated with the first TCI state may comprise that the wireless device receives an aperiodic CSI-RS of the aperiodic CSI-RS resource with the at least one first RS (indicated by the first TCI state) with respect to the at least one first QCL type indicated by the first TCI state. 
     In an example, the base station may transmit a downlink signal with a second TCI state. In an example, the second TCI state may indicate at least one second RS. In an example, the second TCI state may indicate at least one second QCL type. The wireless device may receive the downlink signal in one or more first symbols. The wireless device may receive an aperiodic CSI-RS for the aperiodic CSI-RS resource in one or more second symbols. In an example, the one or more first symbols and the one or more second symbols may overlap (e.g., fully or partially). In an example, the downlink signal and the aperiodic CSI-RS (or the aperiodic CSI-RS resource) may overlap based on the one or more first symbols and the one or more second symbols overlapping. 
     In an example, the downlink signal and the aperiodic CSI-RS (or the aperiodic CSI-RS resource) may overlap in a time duration. In an example, the time duration may be at least one symbol. In an example, the time duration may be at least one slot. In an example, the time duration may be at least one subframe. In an example, the time duration may be at least one mini-slot. In an example, the time duration may be the one or more second symbols. In an example, the time duration may be the one or more first symbols. 
     In an example, the downlink signal may be a PDSCH scheduled with an offset larger than or equal to a first threshold (e.g., Threshold-Sched-Offset, timeDurationForQCL). In an example, the downlink signal may be a second aperiodic CSI-RS scheduled with an offset larger than or equal a second threshold (e.g., beamSwitchTiming) when the second threshold is a first value (e.g., 14, 28, 48 symbols). In an example, the downlink signal may be an RS (e.g., periodic CSI-RS, semi-persistent CSI-RS, SS/PBCH block etc.). 
     In an example, when the scheduling offset between the last symbol of the PDCCH and the first symbol is smaller than the second threshold, based on the downlink signal with the second TCI state and the aperiodic CSI-RS (or the aperiodic CSI-RS resource) overlapping, the wireless device may apply a QCL assumption provided/indicated by the second TCI state when receiving the aperiodic CSI-RS. In an example, the applying the QCL assumption (provided/indicated by the second TCI state) when receiving the aperiodic CSI may comprise that the wireless device receives the aperiodic CSI-RS with the at least one second RS (indicated by the second TCI state) with respect to the at least one second QCL type indicated by the second TCI state. 
     In an example, a scheduling offset between a last symbol of the PDCCH carrying the DCI and a first symbol of the one or more CSI-RS resources in the report configuration may be equal to or larger than a second threshold (e.g., beamSwitchTiming). In an example, the wireless device may report the second threshold. In an example, the second threshold may be a first value (e.g., 14, 28, 48 symbols). Based on the scheduling offset being equal to or larger than the second threshold, the wireless device may apply a QCL assumption (provided by the first TCI state) for the aperiodic CSI-RS resource of the one or more CSI-RS resources in the report configuration. In an example, the applying the QCL assumption (provided by the first TCI state) for the aperiodic CSI-RS resource may comprise that the wireless device receives the aperiodic CSI-RS of the aperiodic CSI-RS resource with the at least one first RS (indicated by the first TCI state) with respect to the at least one first QCL type indicated by the first TCI state. 
     In an example, two transmission schemes for uplink may be supported for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH): codebook based transmission and non-codebook based transmission. A wireless device may be configured with codebook based transmission when the higher layer parameter txConfig in pusch-Config is set to ‘codebook’. The wireless device may be configured with non-codebook based transmission when the higher layer parameter txConfig is set to ‘nonCodebook’. When the higher layer parameter txConfig is not configured, the wireless device may not expect to be scheduled by DCI format 0_1 or 0_2. When PUSCH is scheduled by DCI format 0_0, the PUSCH transmission may be based on a single antenna port. Except when the higher layer parameter enableDefaultBeamPlForPUSCH0_0 is set ‘enabled’, the wireless device may not expect PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_0 in a BWP without configured PUCCH resource with PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo in frequency range 2 in RRC connected mode. 
     For codebook based transmission, in an example, PUSCH may be scheduled by DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, DCI format 0_2 or semi-statically configured. When this PUSCH is scheduled by DCI format 0_1, DCI format 0_2, or semi-statically configured, the wireless device may determine its PUSCH transmission precoder based on a SRS resource indicator (SRI), a transmit precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) and a transmission rank, where the SRI, the TPMI and the transmission rank may be given by DCI fields of ‘SRS resource indicator’ and Trecoding information and number of layers&#39; for DCI format 0_1 and 0_2 or given by srs-ResourceIndicator and precodingAndNumberOfLayers. In an example, the SRS-ResourceSet(s) applicable for PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 0_2 may be defined by the entries of the higher layer parameter srs-ResourceSetToAddModList and srs-ResourceSetToAddModList-ForDCIFormat0_2 in SRS-Config, respectively. The TPMI may be used to indicate the precoder to be applied over the layers {0 . . . v−1} and that corresponds to an SRS resource selected by the SRI when multiple SRS resources are configured, or when a single SRS resource is configured TPMI is used to indicate the precoder to be applied over the layers {0 . . . v−1} and that corresponds to the SRS resource. The transmission precoder may be selected from the uplink codebook that has a number of antenna ports equal to higher layer parameter nrofSRS-Ports in SRS-Config. When the wireless device is configured with the higher layer parameter txConfig set to ‘codebook’, the wireless device may be configured with at least one SRS resource. In an example, the indicated SRI in slot n may be associated with the most recent transmission of an SRS resource identified by the SRI, where the SRS resource is prior to the PDCCH carrying the SRI. 
     For non-codebook based transmission, in an example, PUSCH may be scheduled by DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, DCI format 0_2 or semi-statically configured. When this PUSCH is scheduled by DCI format 0_1, DCI format 0_2, or semi-statically configured, the wireless device may determine its PUSCH precoder and transmission rank based on an SRI when multiple SRS resources are configured, where the SRI is given by a DCI field of ‘SRS resource indicator’ in DCI for DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 0_2, or the SRI is given by srs-ResourceIndicator. In an example, the SRS-ResourceSet(s) applicable for PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 0_2 may be defined by the entries of the higher layer parameter srs-ResourceSetToAddModList and srs-ResourceSetToAddModList-ForDCIFormat0_2 in SRS-Config, respectively. The wireless device may use one or multiple SRS resources for SRS transmission, where, in a SRS resource set, the maximum number of SRS resources which may be configured to the wireless device for simultaneous transmission in the same symbol and the maximum number of SRS resources may the wireless device&#39;s capabilities. In an example, the SRS resources transmitted simultaneously may occupy the same RBs. In an example, at least one SRS port for an SRS resource may be configured. In an example, one SRS resource set may be configured with higher layer parameter usage in SRS-ResourceSet set to ‘nonCodebook’. The indicated SRI in slot n may be associated with the most recent transmission of SRS resource(s) identified by the SRI, where the SRS transmission is prior to the PDCCH carrying the SRI. The wireless device may perform one-to-one mapping from the indicated SRI(s) to the indicated demodulation RS (DMRS) ports(s) and their corresponding PUSCH layers {0 . . . v−1} given by DCI format 0_1 or by configuredGrantConfig in increasing order. 
       FIG. 22  shows an example of transmission and reception with multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) and/or multiple panels. In an example, a base station may be equipped with more than one TRP (e.g., TRP  1  and TRP  2 ). A wireless device may be equipped with more than one panel (e.g., Panel  1  and Panel  2 ). Transmission and reception with multiple TRPs and/or multiple panels may improve system throughput and/or transmission robustness for a wireless communication in a high frequency (e.g., above 6 GHz). 
     In an example, a TRP of multiple TRPs of the base station may be identified by at least one of: a TRP identifier (ID), a cell index, or a reference signal index. In an example, a TRP ID of a TRP may comprise a control resource set group (or pool) index (e.g., CORESETPoolIndex) of a control resource set group from which a DCI is transmitted from the base station on a control resource set. In an example, a TRP ID of a TRP may comprise a TRP index indicated in the DCI. In an example, a TRP ID of a TRP may comprise a TCI state group index of a TCI state group. A TCI state group may comprise at least one TCI state with which the wireless device receives the downlink transport blocks (TBs), or with which the base station transmits the downlink TBs. 
     In an example, a base station may be equipped with multiple TRPs. The base station may transmit to a wireless device one or more RRC messages comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of CORESETs on a cell (or a BWP of the cell). A CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs may be identified with a CORESET index and may be associated with (or configured with) a CORESET pool (or group) index. One or more CORESETs, of the plurality of CORESETs, having a same CORESET pool index may indicate that DCIs received on the one or more CORESETs are transmitted from a same TRP of a plurality of TRPs of the base station. The wireless device may determine receiving beams (or spatial domain filters) for PDCCHs/PDSCHs based on a TCI indication (e.g., DCI) and a CORESET pool index associated with a CORESET for the DCI. 
     In an example, a wireless device may receive multiple PDCCHs scheduling fully/partially/non-overlapped PDSCHs in time and frequency domain, when the wireless device receives one or more RRC messages (e.g., PDCCH-Config IE) comprising a first CORESET pool index (e.g., CORESETPoolIndex) value and a second COESET pool index in ControlResourceSet IE. The wireless device may determine the reception of full/partially overlapped PDSCHs in time domain when PDCCHs that schedule two PDSCHs are associated to different ControlResourceSets having different values of CORESETPoolIndex. 
     In an example, a wireless device may assume (or determine) that the ControlResourceSet is assigned with CORESETPoolIndex as 0 for a ControlResourceSet without CORESETPoolIndex. When the wireless device is scheduled with full/partially/non-overlapped PDSCHs in time and frequency domain, scheduling information for receiving a PDSCH is indicated and carried by the corresponding PDCCH. The wireless device is expected to be scheduled with the same active BWP and the same SCS. In an example, a wireless device can be scheduled with at most two codewords simultaneously when the wireless device is scheduled with full/partially overlapped PDSCHs in time and frequency domain. 
     In an example, when PDCCHs that schedule two PDSCHs are associated to different ControlResourceSets having different values of CORESETPoolIndex, the wireless device is allowed to the following operations: for any two HARQ process IDs in a given scheduled cell, if the wireless device is scheduled to start receiving a first PDSCH starting in symbol j by a PDCCH associated with a value of CORESETpoolIndex ending in symbol i, the wireless device can be scheduled to receive a PDSCH starting earlier than the end of the first PDSCH with a PDCCH associated with a different value of CORESETpoolIndex that ends later than symbol i; in a given scheduled cell, the wireless device can receive a first PDSCH in slot i, with the corresponding HARQ-ACK assigned to be transmitted in slot j, and a second PDSCH associated with a value of CORESETpoolIndex different from that of the first PDSCH starting later than the first PDSCH with its corresponding HARQ-ACK assigned to be transmitted in a slot before slot j. 
     In an example, if a wireless device configured by higher layer parameter PDCCH-Config that contains two different values of CORESETPoolIndex in ControlResourceSet, for both cases, when tci-PresentInDCI is set to ‘enabled’ and tci-PresentInDCI is not configured in RRC connected mode, if the offset between the reception of the DL DCI and the corresponding PDSCH is less than the threshold timeDurationForQCL, the wireless device may assume that the DM-RS ports of PDSCH associated with a value of CORESETPoolIndex of a serving cell are quasi co-located with the RS(s) with respect to the QCL parameter(s) used for PDCCH quasi co-location indication of the CORESET associated with a monitored search space with the lowest CORESET-ID among CORESETs, which are configured with the same value of CORESETPoolIndex as the PDCCH scheduling that PDSCH, in the latest slot in which one or more CORESETs associated with the same value of CORESETPoolIndex as the PDCCH scheduling that PDSCH within the active BWP of the serving cell are monitored by the wireless device. If the offset between the reception of the DL DCI and the corresponding PDSCH is less than the threshold timeDurationForQCL and at least one configured TCI states for the serving cell of scheduled PDSCH contains the ‘QCL-TypeD’, and at least one TCI codepoint indicates two TCI states, the wireless device may assume that the DM-RS ports of PDSCH of a serving cell are quasi co-located with the RS(s) with respect to the QCL parameter(s) associated with the TCI states corresponding to the lowest codepoint among the TCI codepoints containing two different TCI states. 
     In an example, a wireless device, when configured with multiple panels, may determine to activate (or select) one of the multiple panels to receive downlink signals/channels transmitted from one of multiple TRPs of the base station. The activation/selection of one of the multiple panels may be based on receiving downlink signaling indicating the activation/selection or be automatically performed based on measuring downlink channel qualities of one or more reference signals transmitted from the base station. 
     In an example, the wireless device may apply a spatial domain filter to transmit from a panel of the multiple panels to one of the multiple TRPs of the base station, the panel and the spatial domain filter being determined based on at least one of: an UL TCI indication of a DCI, a panel ID in the DCI, a SRI indication of a DCI, a CORESET pool index of a CORESET for receiving the DCI, and the like. 
     In an example, when receiving a DCI indicating an uplink grant, the wireless device may determine a panel and a transmission beam (or spatial domain transmission filter) on the panel. The panel may be explicitly indicated by a panel ID comprised in the DCI. The panel may be implicitly indicated by an SRS ID (or an SRS group/pool index), a UL TCI pool index of a UL TCI for uplink transmission, and/or a CORESET pool index of a CORESET for receiving the DCI. 
     The amount of data traffic carried over cellular networks may be expected to increase for many years to come. More spectrum may be needed for cellular operators to meet an increasing demand on variety of services, e.g., video delivery, large files, or images, etc. Striving to meet the market demands, there has been increasing interest from operators in deploying some complementary access utilizing unlicensed spectrum to meet the traffic growth. This is exemplified by the large number of operator-deployed Wi-Fi networks and the 3GPP standardization of LTE/WLAN interworking solutions. This interest indicates that unlicensed spectrum, when present, can be an effective complement to licensed spectrum for cellular operators to help addressing the traffic explosion in some scenarios, such as hotspot areas. Licensed-assisted access (LAA) offers an alternative for operators to make use of unlicensed spectrum while managing one radio network, thus offering new possibilities for optimizing the network&#39;s efficiency. 
     In an example, listen-before-talk (LBT) may be implemented for transmission in an LAA cell. In an LBT procedure, an equipment (e.g., a device, or a base station, etc.) may apply a clear channel assessment (CCA) check before using the channel. For example, the CCA may utilize at least energy detection to determine the presence or absence of other signals on a channel in order to determine if a channel is occupied or clear, respectively. For example, European and Japanese regulations mandate the usage of LBT in unlicensed bands. Apart from regulatory requirements, carrier sensing via LBT may be one way for fair sharing of an unlicensed spectrum. 
     In an example, discontinuous transmission on an unlicensed carrier with limited maximum transmission duration may be enabled. Some of these functions may be supported by one or more signals to be transmitted from the beginning of a discontinuous LAA downlink transmission. Channel reservation may be enabled by the transmission of signals, by an LAA node, after gaining channel access via a successful LBT operation, so that other nodes that receive the transmitted signal with energy above a certain threshold may sense the channel to be occupied. Functions that may need to be supported by one or more signals for LAA operation with discontinuous downlink transmission may include one or more of the following: detection of the LAA downlink transmission (including cell identification) by UEs; time/frequency synchronization of UEs. 
     In an example, DL LAA design may employ subframe boundary alignment according to LTE-A carrier aggregation timing relationships across serving cells aggregated by CA. This may not imply that a base station&#39;s transmission can start only at a subframe boundary. LAA may support transmitting PDSCH when not all OFDM symbols are available for transmission in a subframe according to LBT. Delivery of necessary control information for the PDSCH may also be supported. 
     LBT procedure may be employed for fair and friendly coexistence of LAA with other operators and technologies operating in an unlicensed spectrum. LBT procedures on a node attempting to transmit on a carrier in the unlicensed spectrum may require the node to perform a CCA to determine whether the channel is free for use. An LBT procedure may involve at least energy detection to determine if the channel is being used. For example, regulatory requirements in some regions, e.g., in Europe, specify an energy detection threshold such that if a node receives energy greater than this threshold, the node assumes that the channel is not free. While nodes may follow such regulatory requirements, a node may optionally use a lower threshold for energy detection than that specified by regulatory requirements. In an example, LAA may employ a mechanism to adaptively change the energy detection threshold, e.g., LAA may employ a mechanism to adaptively lower the energy detection threshold from an upper bound. Adaptation mechanism may not preclude static or semi-static setting of the threshold. In an example, Category 4 LBT mechanism or other type of LBT mechanisms may be implemented. 
     Various example LBT mechanisms may be implemented. In an example, for some signals, in some implementation scenarios, in some situations, and/or in some frequencies no LBT procedure may be performed by a transmitting entity. In an example, Category 2 (e.g. LBT without random back-off, or a short LBT, etc.) may be implemented. The duration of time that the channel is sensed to be idle before the transmitting entity transmits may be deterministic. In an example, Category 3 (e.g. LBT with random back-off with a contention window of fixed size) may be implemented. The LBT procedure may have the following procedure as one of its components. The transmitting entity may draw a random number N within a contention window. The size of the contention window may be specified by the minimum and maximum value of N. The size of the contention window may be fixed. The random number N may be employed in the LBT procedure to determine the duration of time that the channel is sensed to be idle before the transmitting entity transmits on the channel. In an example, Category 4 (e.g. LBT with random back-off with a contention window of variable size) may be implemented. The transmitting entity may draw a random number N within a contention window. The size of contention window may be specified by the minimum and maximum value of N. The transmitting entity may vary the size of the contention window when drawing the random number N. The random number N is used in the LBT procedure to determine the duration of time that the channel is sensed to be idle before the transmitting entity transmits on the channel. 
     LAA may employ an uplink (UL) LBT at a wireless device. The UL LBT may be different from a downlink (DL) LBT scheme (e.g. by using different LBT mechanisms or parameters) for example, since the LAA UL is based on scheduled access which affects a wireless device&#39;s channel contention opportunities. Other considerations motivating a different UL LBT scheme include, but are not limited to, multiplexing of multiple UEs in a single subframe. 
     In an example, a DL transmission burst may be a continuous transmission from a DL transmitting node with no transmission immediately before or after from the same node on the same CC. A UL transmission burst from a wireless device perspective may be a continuous transmission from a wireless device with no transmission immediately before or after from the same wireless device on the same CC. In an example, a UL transmission burst may be defined from a wireless device&#39;s perspective. In an example, a UL transmission burst may be defined from a base station&#39;s perspective. In an example, in case of a base station operating DL+UL LAA over the same unlicensed carrier, DL transmission burst(s) and UL transmission burst(s) on LAA may be scheduled in a TDM manner over the same unlicensed carrier. For example, an instant in time may be part of a DL transmission burst or a UL transmission burst. 
     In an example, single and multiple DL to UL and UL to DL switching within a shared gNB (e.g., base station) channel occupancy time (COT) may be supported. In an example, gap length and/or single or multiple switching points may have different LBT requirements. In an example, LBT may not be used for a gap less than 16 us. One-shot LBT may be used for a gap above 16 us and less than 25 us. In an example, for single switching point and for the gap from DL transmission to UL transmission which exceeds 25 us, one-shot LBT may be used; for multiple switching points, for the gap from DL transmission to UL transmission which exceeds 25 us, one-shot LBT may be used. 
     In an example, a signal that is detected by a wireless device with low complexity may be useful for at least one of: power saving of the wireless device, improved coexistence with other systems, achieving spatial reuse at least within the same operator network, and/or performing serving cell transmission burst acquisition, etc. 
     In an example, operation of new radio on unlicensed bands (NR-U) may employ a signal that may contain at least SS/PBCH block burst set transmission. In an example, other channels and signals may be transmitted together as part of the signal. The design of this signal may consider there is no gap within a time span the signal is transmitted at least within a beam. In an example, gaps may be needed for beam switching. 
     In an example, a block-interlaced based PUSCH may be employed. In an example, the same interlace structure for PUCCH and PUSCH may be used. In an example, interlaced based PRACH may be used. 
     In an example, initial active DL/UL BWP may be approximately 20 MHz for 5 GHz band. In an example, initial active DL/UL BWP may be approximately 20 MHz for 6 GHz band if a similar channelization as 5 GHz band is used for 6 GHz band. 
     In an example, a wireless device may transmit one or more HARQ ACK/NACK bits corresponding to a data packet in a COT same as when the wireless receives the data packet. In an example, a wireless device may transmit one or more HARQ ACK/NACK bits corresponding to a data packet in a first COT different from a second COT when the wireless device receives the data packet. 
     In an example, dependencies of HARQ process information to a configured/predefined timing relative to a received data packet may be removed. In an example, UCI on PUSCH may carry HARQ process identification (ID), new data indication (NDI), redundancy version identification (RVID). In an example, Downlink Feedback Information (DFI) may be used for transmission of HARQ feedback for configured grant. 
     In an example, a gNB (e.g., a base station) and/or a wireless device may support both contention-based random access (CBRA) and contention-free random access (CFRA) on a NR-U cell, e.g., a NR-U SpCell. CFRA may be supported on NR-U SCells. In an example, RAR may be transmitted via SpCell. 
     In an example, carrier aggregation between a primary NR cell in licensed band (e.g., NR PCell) and a secondary NR cell in unlicensed band (e.g., NR-U SCell) may be supported. In an example, NR-U SCell may have both DL and UL, or DL-only. In an example, dual connectivity between a primary LTE cell in licensed band (e.g., LTE PCell) and a primary secondary NR cell in unlicensed band (e.g., NR-U PSCell) may be supported. In an example, Stand-alone NR-U where all carriers are in unlicensed spectrum may be supported. In an example, an NR cell with DL in unlicensed band and UL in licensed band may be supported. In an example, dual connectivity between a primary NR cell in licensed band licensed band (e.g., NR PCell) and a primary secondary NR cell in unlicensed band (e.g., NR-U PSCell) may be supported. 
     In an example, a Wi-Fi system (or a second system in an unlicensed band, etc.) may be present in a band (e.g., sub-7 GHz, or above-52.6 GHz, etc.) by regulation. If the Wi-Fi system is present in the band where NR-U is operating, the NR-U operating bandwidth may be an integer multiple of 20 MHz. In an example, at least for band where absence of Wi-Fi cannot be guaranteed (e.g. by regulation), LBT can be performed in units of 20 MHz. In an example, receiver assisted LBT (e.g., request to send (RTS)/clear to send (CTS) type mechanism) and/or on-demand receiver assisted LBT (e.g., enabling receiver assisted LBT when needed) may be employed. In an example, techniques to enhance spatial reuse may be used. In an example, preamble detection may be used for an unlicensed system. 
     In an example, to schedule uplink data packet on a PUSCH via an unlicensed carrier, a gNB (e.g., base station) may attempt to gain access to a channel to transmit a DCI via a PDCCH. In response to receiving the DCI via the PDCCH, a wireless device may perform LBT prior to transmitting data packets on the PUSCH. Such procedure may increase latency of data transmission especially when the channel is occupied by other devices (e.g., Wi-Fi terminals, etc.). In an example, a mechanism of autonomous uplink transmission may be used to improve the latency of data transmission. In an example, a wireless device may be pre-allocated a resource for transmission similar to UL semi-persistent-scheduling (SPS) and may perform LBT prior to using the resource. In an example, autonomous uplink may be based on one or more configured grants (e.g., a type 1 configured grant and/or a type 2 configured grant, etc.). 
     In an example, a HARQ process identity may be transmitted by the wireless device (e.g., as UCI). This may enable a wireless device to use the first available transmission opportunity irrespective of the HARQ process. In an example, UCI on PUSCH may be used to carry HARQ process ID, NDI, and/or RVID, etc. 
     For an unlicensed band, UL dynamic grant scheduled transmission may increase a transmission delay and/or transmission failure possibility due to at least a first LBT of a gNB and a second LBT of a wireless device. Pre-configured grant such as configured grant in NR may be used for NR-U, which may decrease the number of LBTs performed and control signaling overhead. 
     In an example, in a Type 1 configured grant, an uplink grant is provided by RRC, and stored as configured uplink grant. In an example, in Type 2 configured grant, an uplink grant is provided by PDCCH, and stored or cleared as configured uplink grant based on L1 signalling indicating configured grant activation or deactivation. 
     In an example, there may not be a dependency between HARQ process information to the timing. In an example, UCI on PUSCH may carry HARQ process ID, NDI, RVID, etc. In an example, a wireless device may autonomously select one HARQ process ID which is informed to gNB by UCI. 
     In an example, a wireless device may perform non-adaptive retransmission with the configured uplink grant. When dynamic grant for configured grant retransmission is blocked due to LBT, the wireless device may try to transmit in the next available resource with configured grant. 
     In an example, Downlink Feedback Information (DFI) may be transmitted (e.g., using DCI) may include HARQ feedback for configured grant transmission. The wireless device may perform transmission/retransmission using configured grant according to DFI including HARQ feedback. In an example, wideband carrier with more than one channels is supported on NR-based unlicensed cell. 
     In an example, there may be one active BWP in a carrier. In an example, a BWP with multiple channels may be activated. In an example, when an absence of Wi-Fi cannot be guaranteed (e.g. by regulation), LBT may be performed in units of 20 MHz. In this case, there may be multiple parallel LBT procedures for this BWP. The actual transmission bandwidth may be subject to subband with LBT success, which may result in dynamic bandwidth transmission within this active wideband BWP. 
     In an example, multiple active BWPs may be supported. To maximize the BWP utilization efficiency, the BWP bandwidth may be the same as the bandwidth of subband for LBT, e.g., LBT is carried out on each BWP. The network may activate/deactivate the BWPs based on data volume to be transmitted. 
     In an example, multiple non-overlapped BWPs may be activated for a wireless device within a wide component carrier, which may be similar as carrier aggregation in LTE LAA. To maximize the BWP utilization efficiency, the BWP bandwidth may be the same as the bandwidth of subband for LBT, i.e. LBT is carrier out on each BWP. When more than one subband LBT success, it requires wireless device to have the capability to support multiple narrow RF or a wide RF which includes these multiple activated BWPs. 
     In an example, a single wideband BWP may be activated for a wireless device within a component carrier. The bandwidth of wideband BWP may be in the unit of subband for LBT. For example, if the subband for LBT is 20 MHz in 5 GHz band, the wideband BWP bandwidth may consist of multiple 20 MHz. The actual transmission bandwidth may be subject to subband with LBT success, which may result in dynamic bandwidth transmission within this active wideband BWP. 
     In an example, active BWP switching may be achieved by use of scheduling DCI. In an example, the network may indicate to the wireless device a new active BWP to use for an upcoming, and any subsequent, data transmission/reception. In an example, a wireless device may monitor multiple, configured BWPs to determine which has been acquired for DL transmissions by the gNB. For example, a wireless device may be configured with monitoring occasion periodicity and offset for each configured BWP. The wireless device may attempt to determine if a BWP has been acquired by the gNB during those monitoring occasions. In an example, upon successfully determining that the channel is acquired, the wireless device may continue with that BWP as its active BWP, at least until indicated otherwise or Maximum Channel Occupancy Time (MCOT) has been reached. In an example, when a wireless device has determined that a BWP is active, it may attempt blind detection of PDCCH in configured CORESETs and it might also perform measurements on aperiodic or SPS resources. 
     In an example, for UL transmissions, a wireless device may be configured with multiple UL resources, possibly in different BWPs. The wireless device may have multiple LBT configurations, each tied to a BWP and possibly a beam pair link. The wireless device may be granted UL resources tied to one or more LBT configurations. Similarly, the wireless device may be provided with multiple Autonomous Uplink (AUL)/grant-free resources each requiring the use of different LBT configurations. Providing a wireless device with multiple AUL resources over multiple BWPs may ensure that if LBT fails using a first LBT configuration for one AUL resource in one BWP, a wireless device can attempt transmission in another AUL resource in another BWP. This may reduce the channel access latency and make better use of the over-all unlicensed carrier. 
     As shown in  FIG. 23 , a base station may configure a wireless device with (a list of) one or more TCI-state configurations by a higher layer parameter (e.g., PDSCH-Config) for a serving cell, according to some embodiments. A number of the one or more TCI-states may depend on a capability of the wireless device. The wireless device may use the one or more TCI-states to decode a PDSCH according to a detected PDCCH with a DCI. The DCI may be intended for the wireless device and a serving cell of the wireless device. A TCI-state of the one or more TCI-state configurations may contain one or more parameters. The wireless device may use the one or more parameters to configure a quasi co-location relationship between one or more downlink (e.g., and/or uplink) reference signals (e.g., first RS and second RS) and DM-RS ports of a PDSCH. The quasi co-location (e.g., or spatial) relationship may be configured by a higher layer parameter (e.g., qcl-Type1, or spatialRelation1) for the first RS. The quasi co-location (e.g., or spatial) relationship may be configured by a higher layer parameter (e.g., qcl-Type2, or spatialRelation2) for the second RS (if configured). 
     In an example, the wireless device may receive an activation command (e.g., via a MAC-CE). The activation command may be used to map one or more TCI-states to one or more codepoints of a DCI field (e.g., TCI field). The base station may configure a CORESET with a higher layer parameter (e.g., TCI-PresentInDCI). In an example, the higher layer parameter (e.g., TCI-PresentInDCI) may be enabled (e.g. set as “enabled”, or turned on, etc.). The wireless device may receive a DCI (e.g., DCI format 1_1) via the CORESET. The DCI may schedule a PDSCH of a wireless device. In an example, a TCI field may be present in the DCI. In an example, a time offset between a reception of the DCI and the (corresponding scheduled) PDSCH may be equal to or greater than a threshold (e.g., Threshold-Sched-Offset). The threshold may be based on a reported UE capability. The wireless device may, in order to determine antenna port quasi co-location for the PDSCH, use a TCI-state according to a value of the TCI field in a detected PDCCH with the DCI, e.g., in response to the TCI field being present in the DCI scheduling the PDSCH and the higher layer parameter (e.g., TCI-PresentinDCI) being set as ‘enabled’ for the CORESET. In an example, the using the TCI-state according to the value of the TCI field may comprise that the wireless device may assume (e.g., as a QCL relationship) that one or more DM-RS ports of the PDSCH of a serving cell are quasi co-located with one or more RS(s) in the TCI-state with respect to one or more QCL type (e.g., spatial-relation) parameter(s) given by the TCI-state (e.g., when the time offset between the reception of the DCI and the PDSCH is equal or greater than the threshold). In an example, the value of the TCI field may indicate the TCI-state. The wireless device may determine a spatial domain (Rx) filter based on the TCI-state indicated by the DCI. The wireless device may receive the PDSCH based on the spatial domain (Rx) filter (e.g., based on the QCL relationship). 
     In an example, the base station may configure (e.g., activate, command, or indicate) a PDCCH monitoring on a serving cell of the wireless device. The wireless device may monitor a downlink control channel (e.g., a set of PDCCH candidates, a DCI, or DCIs) in a CORESET, based on a TCI-state configured/activated in the CORESET, (e.g., on an active DL BWP) of an (activated) serving cell configured with the (respective) PDCCH monitoring. The wireless device may monitor the downlink control channel (e.g., the set of PDCCH candidates) in the CORESET based on the TCI-state, according to corresponding search space set(s). The wireless device may determine a spatial domain (Rx) filter based on the TCI-state of the CORESET. The monitoring the downlink control channel may comprise decoding each PDCCH candidate of the set of PDCCH candidates according to monitored DCI formats via the CORESET based on the spatial domain (Rx) filter, e.g., based on a QCL relationship that DM-RS port(s) of the PDCCH of the CORESET is/are quasi co-located with one or more RS(s) in the TCI-state with respect to one or more QCL type (e.g., spatial-relation) parameter(s) given by the TCI-state. 
     In an example, the wireless device may determine (e.g., based on the performing the default PDSCH RS selection) a PDSCH default beam, e.g., as identical to a second TCI-state or a second QCL assumption applied for a CORESET with a lowest ID (e.g., CORESET-specific index being the lowest) or as identical to a third TCI-state with a lowest ID (e.g., among activated TCI-states in a BWP), e.g., TCI-state ID being the lowest among active TCI-states in a BWP. In an example, the PDSCH default beam may be used for a PDSCH reception based on certain condition(s), e.g., when a time offset between a reception of a DCI scheduling a PDSCH and a reception of the PDSCH is equal to or lower than a threshold (e.g., Threshold-Sched-Offset), when a CORESET delivering a DCI scheduling a PDSCH is not configured with a higher layer parameter (e.g., TCI-PresentInDCI), or when a higher layer parameter (e.g., TCI-PresentInDCI) associated with a CORESET delivering a DCI scheduling a PDSCH is not enabled (e.g. not set as “enabled”, not turned on, or disabled). 
     In an example, the wireless device may transmit an uplink signal based on a spatial (domain) Tx filter, where the spatial (domain) Tx filter may be determined by an uplink spatial reference which may be separate (e.g., independent, or different) from a TCI-state used (e.g., configured, activated, determined, or indicated) for downlink reception. The uplink spatial reference may comprise at least one of: an SRS resource indicator (SRI), a higher-layer parameter for spatial-relation information (e.g., spatialRelationInfo, or PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo), a UL-TCI state, and/or the like. The SRI may comprise an SRS resource. The higher-layer parameter for spatial-relation information may comprise at least one of: a downlink RS (e.g., an SSB index or a CSI-RS resource), an uplink RS (e.g., an SRS resource), and/or the like. The uplink signal may comprise at least one of: a PUSCH (associated with a DMRS), a PUCCH (associated with a DMRS), an SRS resource, and/or the like. 
     As shown in  FIG. 24 , a base station may configure a wireless device with at least one joint (e.g., common, or unified) TCI (state), according to some embodiments. In an example, the at least one joint TCI may be based on a unified (e.g., common, or joint) TCI framework (e.g., structure, or mechanism). A (joint) TCI of the at least one joint TCI may be indicated via a control command. 
     The control command may be a DCI scheduling a downlink data reception (e.g., a DL-grant, DCI format 1_0, DCI format 1_1, and/or the like), e.g., comprising a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) parity bits scrambled with a first RNTI (e.g., C-RNTI). The control command may be a DCI scheduling an uplink data transmission (e.g., a UL-grant, DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, and/or the like), e.g., comprising a CRC parity bits scrambled with a first RNTI (e.g., C-RNTI). 
     The control command may be a dedicated control message (e.g., a device-specific DCI, a user-specific DCI, a user-equipment (UE)-specific DCI, a UE-specific MAC-CE command, and/or the like) for a wireless device. The control command may comprise a CRC parity bits scrambled with a second radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), e.g., a TCI-RNTI, a TCImode-RNTI, a TCImode1-RNTI, a TCImode2-RNTI, a TCImode3-RNTI, or an (existing) RNTI other than the C-RNTI, e.g., different, independent, or separated from a first RNTI (e.g., C-RNTI for a (dynamically) scheduled unicast transmission). 
     The control command may be a group-common (GC) control message (e.g., a GC-DCI, a broadcast DCI, a multicast DCI, a broadcast MAC-CE command, or a multicast MAC-CE command), where the GC control message is transmitted to one or more wireless devices. In an example, the GC control message may further indicate a channel occupancy time (COT) duration (e.g., as a COT), along with indicating the (joint) TCI, where the (joint) TCI may be applied for a wireless device of the one or more wireless devices during a time duration based on the COT duration (e.g., during a COT interval) indicated by the GC control message. 
     The control command may comprise a CRC parity bits scrambled with a third RNTI which is the same as (e.g., reused with, tied to, linked to, or shared with) an existing RNTI, e.g., at least one of: a SFI-RNTI, SP-CSI-RNTI, MCS-C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, TPC-PUCCH-RNTI, TPC-PUSCH-RNTI, TPC-SRS-RNTI, INT-RNTI, P-RNTI, SI-RNTI, RA-RNTI, and/or the like. In an example, the control command may comprise a CRC parity bits scrambled with a fourth RNTI, e.g., a TCI-RNTI, a TCImode-RNTI, a TCImode1-RNTI, a TCImode2-RNTI, a TCImode3-RNTI, and/or the like, e.g., different, independent, or separated from a fifth RNTI (e.g., SFI-RNTI, SP-CSI-RNTI, MCS-C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, TPC-PUCCH-RNTI, TPC-PUSCH-RNTI, TPC-SRS-RNTI, INT-RNTI, P-RNTI, SI-RNTI, RA-RNTI, C-RNTI, and/or the like). 
     In an example, the control command may be (e.g., comprise) a MAC-CE (e.g., and/or RRC) message. 
     In an example, the at least one joint TCI may comprise at least one source RS, where the at least one source RS may provide a reference (e.g., a spatial-domain reference, a reference for a QCL type and/or a spatial relation, or a QCL assumption for the wireless device) for determining a QCL (relationship) and/or a spatial (domain) filter. The at least one joint TCI may indicate (e.g., be associated with, or comprise) at least one TRP ID (e.g., a cell index, a reference signal index, a CORESET group (or pool) index (e.g., CORESETPoolIndex), or a CORESET group (or pool) index of a CORESET group from which the at least one joint TCI is indicated/signaled), where the at least one source RS (e.g., transmitted from a TRP identified by the at least one TRP ID) may provide a reference (e.g., a spatial-domain reference, a reference for a QCL type and/or a spatial relation, or a QCL assumption for the wireless device) for determining a QCL (relationship) and/or a spatial (domain) filter. 
     In an example, source RS(s) in M (joint) TCIs of the at least one joint TCI, where M is one or an integer greater than zero, may provide common QCL information at least for reception (e.g., device-dedicated reception, or UE-dedicated reception) on a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs, e.g., in a serving cell (e.g., an activated serving-cell (configured with a PDCCH monitoring), or a component carrier (CC)). 
     In an example, source RS(s) in M (joint) TCIs of the at least one joint TCI may provide common QCL information at least for reception (e.g., device-dedicated reception, or UE-dedicated reception) on a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs, transmitted from a TRP identified by the at least one TRP ID, e.g., in a serving cell. 
     The common QCL information may be applied to at least one CSI-RS resource, e.g., for CSI feedback/reporting, for beam management (configured with a parameter, e.g., repetition), for tracking (configured with a parameter, e.g., trs-Info). 
     The common QCL information may be applied to determining a PDSCH default beam. The wireless device may determine a PDSCH default beam as identical to an indicated (e.g., configured, activated, updated, or selected) (joint) TCI, e.g., of the M (joint) TCIs. The PDSCH default beam may be used for a PDSCH reception based on certain condition(s), e.g., when a time offset between a reception of a DCI scheduling a PDSCH and a reception of the PDSCH is equal to or lower than a threshold (e.g., Threshold-Sched-Offset), when a CORESET delivering a DCI scheduling a PDSCH is not configured with a higher layer parameter (e.g., TCI-PresentInDCI), when a higher layer parameter (e.g., TCI-PresentInDCI) associated with a CORESET delivering a DCI scheduling a PDSCH is not enabled (e.g. not set as “enabled”, not turned on, or disabled), when an explicit signaling from the base station for enabling the PDSCH default beam is given, or based on a pre-defined/pre-configured rule, etc. 
     In an example, source RS(s) in N (joint) TCIs (e.g., UL-TCIs, or UL-TCI states) of the at least one joint TCI, where N is one or an integer greater than zero, may provide a reference for determining common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) at least for dynamic-grant-based (or configured-grant based) PUSCH and one or more (device-dedicated, e.g., UL-dedicated) PUCCH resources in a CC (e.g., a serving-cell). 
     The common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) may be applied to one or more SRS resources in SRS resource set(s), where an SRS resource set of the SRS resource set(s) may be configured for antenna switching, codebook-based uplink, or non-codebook-based uplink, etc. 
     The common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) may be applied to at least one SRS resource in an SRS resource set configured for beam management (via a parameter, e.g., usage, set to ‘beamManagement’), in response to receiving an explicit signaling from the base station for enabling the applying the common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) to the at least one SRS resource for beam management, or based on a pre-defined/pre-configured rule, etc. 
     In an example, a (joint) TCI of the at least one joint (e.g., common or unified) TCI (state), e.g., indicated by the control command, may be used (e.g., applied) for downlink TCI indication and/or uplink TCI indication, e.g., based on an indication (e.g., configuration (by configuration parameters), command, or activation) from the base station. The wireless device may identify (e.g., recognize, (pre-)set, be indicated with, be configured with, or determine) a list of applicable downlink and/or uplink channel(s)/signal(s) to which a (joint) TCI of the at least one joint TCI is applied, e.g., based on an indication (e.g., configuration (by configuration parameters), command, or activation) from the base station. 
     The list of applicable downlink and/or uplink channel(s)/signal(s) may be (e.g., comprise) at least one of: SRS, PUCCH (with associated DMRS), PUSCH (with associated DMRS), CSI-RS, PDCCH (with associated DMRS), PDSCH (with associated DMRS), phase-tracking reference signal (PTRS), tracking reference signal (TRS), PRACH, and/or the like. In an example, the SRS may imply a pre-defined/configured set of SRS resources (in a given/configured BWP/CC). The PUCCH may imply a pre-defined/configured set of PUCCH resources (in a given/configured BWP/CC). The PUSCH may correspond to a PUSCH in a given/configured BWP/CC. The CSI-RS may imply a pre-defined/configured set of CSI-RS resources (in a given/configured BWP/CC). The PDCCH may correspond to a PDCCH in a given/configured BWP/CC. The PDSCH may correspond to a PDSCH in a given/configured BWP/CC. The PTRS may correspond to a PTRS in a given/configured BWP/CC (in order for the wireless device to track phases over wireless channels in the time domain, especially in high frequency region). The TRS may imply a pre-defined/configured set of CSI-RS resources configured with trs-Info (in a given/configured BWP/CC). The PRACH may imply a PDCCH-ordered PRACH transmission (in a given/configured BWP/CC). 
     In an example, the applicable downlink and/or uplink channel(s)/signal(s) may further comprise at least one of SRS resource(s), PUCCH resource(s) (with associated DMRS), PUSCH (with associated DMRS), CSI-RS resource(s), PDCCH with a CORESET ID (with associated DMRS), PDSCH (with associated DMRS), PTRS (with associated DMRS), TRS as CSI-RS resource set(s), and PRACH. A set of SRS resources may further comprise an SRS resource set/group (configured with an SRS resource set/group ID). A set of PUCCH resources may further comprise a PUCCH resource set/group (configured with a PUCCH resource set/group ID). A set of CSI-RS resources may further comprise a CSI-RS resource set/group (configured with a CSI-RS resource set/group ID). 
     In an example, the wireless device may receive, e.g., from the base station, a first indication of a first (joint) TCI based on (e.g., associated with, or indicated to be applied for) a first list of applicable downlink and/or uplink channel(s)/signal(s). The first list of applicable downlink and/or uplink channel(s)/signal(s) may indicate (e.g., be, or comprise) a downlink control channel (e.g., a PDCCH via a CORESET (e.g., one or more CORESET)) and a downlink shared channel (e.g., a PDSCH) in a CC (e.g., one or more CCs). The wireless device may apply the first (joint) TCI for monitoring the downlink control channel, e.g., a PDCCH via the one or more CORESETs, and for receiving downlink data (e.g., via the downlink shared channel). In an example, the receiving downlink data (e.g., via a downlink shared channel) may comprise receiving downlink data (e.g., via a downlink shared channel) scheduled by a DCI. In an example, the receiving downlink data (e.g., via a downlink shared channel) may comprise receiving downlink data (e.g., via a downlink shared channel) scheduled by a higher-layer signaling (e.g., as a configured-grant PDSCH, as an SPS-PDSCH, as an SP-PDSCH, and/or the like). 
     In an example, the wireless device may receive, e.g., from the base station, a second indication of a second (joint) TCI (e.g., a UL-TCI, a UL-TCI-state) based on (e.g., associated with, or indicated to be applied for) a second list of applicable downlink and/or uplink channel(s)/signal(s). The second list of applicable downlink and/or uplink channel(s)/signal(s) may indicate (e.g., be, or comprise) one or more uplink signals (and/or channels) in a CC (e.g., one or more CCs). In an example, the one or more uplink signals (and/or channels) may comprise at least one of: PUCCH (with associated DMRS), PUSCH (with associated DMRS), SRS, PTRS, PRACH, and/or the like. In an example, the wireless device may determine a spatial (domain) Tx filter based on the second (joint) TCI. The wireless device may transmit the one or more uplink signals (and/or channels) based on the spatial (domain) Tx filter determined based on the second (joint) TCI, e.g., in response to (e.g., based on) the second indication of the second (joint) TCI. 
     In an example, the wireless device may receive, e.g., from the base station, a third indication of a third (joint) TCI based on (e.g., associated with, or indicated to be applied for) a third list of applicable downlink and/or uplink channel(s)/signal(s). The third list of applicable downlink and/or uplink channel(s)/signal(s) may indicate (e.g., be, or comprise) at least one of: SRS, PUCCH (with associated DMRS), PUSCH (with associated DMRS), CSI-RS, PDCCH (with associated DMRS), PDSCH (with associated DMRS), phase-tracking reference signal (PTRS), tracking reference signal (TRS), PRACH, and/or the like. The wireless device may determine a spatial (domain) filter based on the third (joint) TCI. The wireless device may monitor (e.g., detect, or receive) a PDCCH (via a CORESET) based on the spatial (domain) filter, e.g., based on the third list. The wireless device may receive a PDSCH based on the spatial (domain) filter, e.g., based on the third list. The wireless device may measure (e.g., receive) a CSI-RS based on the spatial (domain) filter, e.g., based on the third list. The wireless device may transmit one or more uplink signals/channels (e.g., a PUCCH, a PUSCH, and/or SRS) based on the spatial (domain) filter, e.g., based on the third list. 
     In an example, a wireless device may be configured, e.g., from a base station, with one or more TCI pools (e.g., by RRC signaling) in a cell. A first TCI pool of the one or more TCI pools may comprise a first plurality of TCIs, where source RS(s) in M TCI(s) of the first plurality of TCIs may provide common QCL information for downlink reception on at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs (and a CSI-RS, etc.). The wireless device may determine a first TCI, from the first plurality of TCIs, based on receiving a DCI (and/or a MAC-CE) indicating the first TCI. In an example, the wireless device may determine a first spatial filter based on the first TCI of the first plurality of TCIs, and receive downlink signals, using the first spatial filter, via the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs (and a CSI-RS, etc.). 
     A second TCI pool of the one or more TCI pools may comprise a second plurality of TCIs, where source RS(s) in N TCI(s) of the second plurality of TCIs may provide a reference for determining common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) for uplink transmission via at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PUSCH and one or more PUCCH resources (and an SRS, etc.). The wireless device may determine a second TCI, from the second plurality of TCIs, based on receiving a DCI (and/or a MAC-CE) indicating the second TCI. In an example, the wireless device may determine a second spatial filter based on the second TCI of the second plurality of TCIs, and transmit uplink signals, using the second spatial filter, via the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PUSCH and one or more PUCCH resources (and an SRS, etc.). 
     A third TCI pool of the one or more TCI pools may comprise a third plurality of TCIs, where source RS(s) in a (joint) TCI of the third plurality of TCIs may provide common QCL information for downlink reception on at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), and may provide a reference for determining common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) for uplink transmission via at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s). The wireless device may determine a third TCI, from the third plurality of TCIs, based on receiving a DCI (and/or a MAC-CE) indicating the third TCI. In an example, the wireless device may determine a third spatial filter based on the third TCI of the third plurality of TCIs, and receive downlink signals, using the third spatial filter, via the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs (and a CSI-RS, etc.). The wireless device may transmit uplink signals, using the third spatial filter, via the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PUSCH and one or more PUCCH resources (and an SRS, etc.). 
     A wireless device may be configured (e.g., from a base station) with two (separated) TCI pools, e.g., the first TCI pool comprising the first plurality of TCIs for downlink (common) beam indication and the second TCI pool comprising the second plurality of TCIs for uplink (common) beam indication. The wireless device may receive a first indication, e.g., via a first DCI, of a first TCI of the first plurality of TCIs, where the wireless device may apply the first TCI to reception of the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s). The wireless device may receive a second indication, e.g., via a second DCI, of a second TCI of the second plurality of TCIs, where the wireless device may apply the second TCI to transmission of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s). 
     In existing technologies, the first TCI of the first plurality of TCIs may not be used (e.g., indicated, utilized, reused) for uplink (common) beam indication, based on the two (separated) TCI pools, e.g., fixed by RRC configuration. The base station may determine that first source RS(s) in the first TCI may provide both the common QCL information for downlink reception and a reference for determining common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) for uplink transmission, e.g., based on (wireless) channel/beam measurements (and/or reporting from the wireless device). To utilize the first source RS(s) of the first TCI for uplink (common) beam indication, e.g., based on the determining, the base station may re-configure (e.g., may transmit a RRC message to re-configure) the second TCI pool to comprise (e.g., include, contain) the first TCI. The re-configuring the second TCI pool may significantly increase a latency in beam management due to a long time being spent for completing an RRC re-configuration process comprising an ambiguity period based on a TCI mismatch between the base station and the wireless device. 
     In existing technologies, the second TCI of the second plurality of TCIs may not be used (e.g., indicated, utilized, reused) for downlink (common) beam indication, based on the two (separated) TCI pools, e.g., fixed by RRC configuration. The base station may determine that second source RS(s) in the second TCI may provide both the common QCL information for downlink reception and a reference for determining common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) for uplink transmission, e.g., based on (wireless) channel/beam measurements (and/or reporting from the wireless device). To utilize the second source RS(s) of the second TCI for downlink (common) beam indication, e.g., based on the determining, the base station may re-configure (e.g., may transmit a RRC message to re-configure) the first TCI pool to comprise (e.g., include, contain) the second TCI. The re-configuring the first TCI pool may significantly increase a latency in beam management due to a long time being spent for completing an RRC re-configuration process comprising an ambiguity period based on a TCI mismatch between the base station and the wireless device. 
     A wireless device may be configured (e.g., from a base station) with one (unified/joint) TCI pool, e.g., the third TCI pool comprising the third plurality of TCIs for both downlink (common) beam indication and uplink (common) beam indication. The wireless device may receive a third indication, e.g., via a third DCI, of a third TCI of the third plurality of TCIs, where the wireless device may apply the third TCI to both reception of the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s) and transmission of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s). 
     In existing technologies, the base station may determine that third source RS(s) in the third TCI may provide the common QCL information for downlink reception but may not provide a reference for determining common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) for uplink transmission, e.g., based on (wireless) channel/beam measurements (and/or reporting from the wireless device). To (dynamically) turn off (e.g., switch off, remove, make it invalid, cease, release, stop to apply, skip to apply) a functionality of providing the reference for determining common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) for the third TCI, the third DCI may need to comprise more information for turning off the functionality, which may increase a complexity and overhead for the third DCI. The base station may re-configure (e.g., may transmit a RRC message to re-configure) the third TCI pool not to comprise (e.g., include, contain) the third TCI. The base station may configure (e.g., re-configure) a first TCI pool to comprise (e.g., include, contain) the third TCI. The re-configuring the third TCI pool (e.g., and newly configuring the first TCI pool) may significantly increase a latency in beam management due to a long time being spent for completing an RRC (re-)configuration process comprising an ambiguity period based on a TCI mismatch between the base station and the wireless device. There is a need to improve the latency in beam management, based on increased flexibility in indicating (e.g., changing, switching, updating) a functionality (e.g., usage) of a TCI, based on reducing (re-)configurations of the one (unified/joint) TCI pool. 
     In an example embodiment, a base station may transmit, e.g., to a wireless device, a (TCI-indication) message indicating (e.g., activating) one or more TCIs of a plurality of TCIs (e.g., the third plurality of TCIs of the third (unified/joint) TCI pool) and one or more (link) indicators associated with the one or more TCIs. In an example, the TCI-indication message may comprise a (separated) RRC message. The TCI-indication message may comprise a MAC-CE message. The TCI-indication message may comprise a DCI. The TCI-indication message may comprise a first number of T k  fields, where a T k  field of the first number of T k  fields may correspond to a (k+1)-th (e.g., k-th) TCI of the plurality of TCIs. The T k  field may indicate an activation/deactivation status of the (k+1)-th (e.g., k-th) TCI of the plurality of TCIs. A (link) indicator of the one or more (link) indicators may be indicated via an association with a T k  field, where information of the association may be indicated by the (same) TCI-indication message (or be indicated by a separated message, etc.). A (link) indicator of the one or more (link) indicators may be indicated via (e.g., inside, within, using) a T k  field. The link indicator may (selectively) indicate one among ‘DL’ as downlink, ‘UL’ as uplink, (and ‘joint DL/UL’ as both downlink and uplink), e.g., via a 2-bit T k  field. 
     In response to receiving the TCI-indication message, e.g., via a MAC-CE, the wireless device may map one or more codepoints of a TCI field in a DCI to the one or more TCIs of the plurality of TCIs activated by the TCI-indication message, where a TCI of the one or more TCIs may be indicated by its usage being one among ‘DL’ as downlink, ‘UL’ as uplink, (and ‘joint DL/UL’ as both downlink and uplink), etc., e.g., via the (link) indicator associated with the TCI. 
     The wireless device may receive a first DCI comprising the TCI field. The wireless device may determine a first value indicated by the TCI field being mapped to a first TCI of the one or more TCIs, where the first TCI is set with its usage being ‘DL’ as downlink, e.g., via the TCI-indication message. In response to determining the first value, the wireless device may receive at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs (and a CSI-RS, etc.) based on the first TCI. In an example, the wireless device may receive a PDSCH, e.g., scheduled by the first DCI (or scheduled by a higher-layer signaling, e.g., as a semi-persistent (or configured-grant) PDSCH, etc.), of the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the first TCI. In an example, the wireless device may monitor (e.g., detect, receive) a PDCCH via the one or more CORESETs, of the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the first TCI. The wireless device may transmit a HARQ-ACK signal for an acknowledgement of successfully receiving the PDSCH and of successfully decoding the first DCI to apply the first TCI to the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs (and a CSI-RS, etc.). 
     The wireless device may receive a second DCI comprising the TCI field. The wireless device may determine a second value indicated by the TCI field being mapped to a second TCI of the one or more TCIs, where the second TCI is set with its usage being ‘UL’ as uplink, e.g., via the TCI-indication message. In response to determining the second value, the wireless device may transmit at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PUSCH and one or more PUCCH resources (and an SRS, etc.) based on the second TCI. In an example, the wireless device may transmit a PUSCH, e.g., scheduled by the second DCI (or scheduled by a first (separated) DCI, or scheduled by a higher-layer signaling, e.g., as a semi-persistent (or configured-grant) PUSCH, etc.), of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the second TCI. In an example, the wireless device may transmit a UCI via the one or more PUCCH resources, of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the second TCI. 
     The wireless device may receive a third DCI comprising the TCI field. The wireless device may determine a third value indicated by the TCI field being mapped to a third TCI of the one or more TCIs, where the third TCI is set with its usage being ‘joint DL/UL’ as both downlink and uplink, e.g., via the TCI-indication message. In response to determining the third value, the wireless device may receive at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs (and a CSI-RS, etc.) based on the third TCI. In an example, the wireless device may receive a PDSCH, e.g., scheduled by the third DCI (or scheduled by a higher-layer signaling, e.g., as a semi-persistent (or configured-grant) PDSCH, etc.), of the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the third TCI. In an example, the wireless device may monitor (e.g., detect, receive) a PDCCH via the one or more CORESETs, of the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the third TCI. In response to determining the third value, the wireless device may transmit at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PUSCH and one or more PUCCH resources (and an SRS, etc.) based on the third TCI. In an example, the wireless device may transmit a PUSCH, e.g., scheduled by the third DCI (or scheduled by a first (separated) DCI, or scheduled by a higher-layer signaling, e.g., as a semi-persistent (or configured-grant) PUSCH, etc.), of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the third TCI. In an example, the wireless device may transmit a UCI via the one or more PUCCH resources, of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the third TCI. 
     The TCI-indication message may further comprise a (UL-parameter) field, associated with a T k  field being indicated with a usage for ‘UL’ (or for ‘joint DL/UL’), where the UL-parameter field may indicate (linkage) index(es) for UL parameters (e.g., power control (PC) parameter(s), timing advance (TA) related information, UL-port information, UL-Tx panel information, etc.) in the (same) TCI-indication message. 
     Example embodiments may save overhead in an RRC (re-)configuration of the plurality of TCIs, based on that the plurality of TCIs (as being a unified/joint TCI pool) may not need to be re-configured (once it is configured), e.g., unless a new source RS(s) are found, because a TCI of the plurality of TCIs may be flexibly indicated/associated with one among ‘DL’, ‘UL’, (and ‘joint DL/UL’), via a TCI-indication (MAC-CE) message, e.g., after the RRC configuration of the plurality of TCIs. 
     Example embodiments may reduce a complexity and power consumption of the wireless device, based on that the wireless device may turn off a functionality of providing a reference for determining common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) based on a TCI (e.g., associated (currently, previously, etc.) with its usage of ‘joint DL/UL’) of the plurality of TCIs, in response to receiving a TCI-indication (MAC-CE) message indicating the TCI is (re-)activated for ‘DL’ (e.g., not the ‘joint DL/UL’). 
     Example embodiments may improve an efficiency and flexibility in indicating (e.g., activating) the one or more TCIs of the plurality of TCIs, via a TCI-indication (MAC-CE) message, by associating a TCI of the one ore more TCIs with a (link) indicator selecting one among ‘DL’, ‘UL’, (and ‘joint DL/UL’), where the TCI-indication (MAC-CE) message may further comprise a (UL-parameter) field selectively for a T k  field being indicated with a usage for one of ‘UL’ and ‘joint DL/UL’. Example embodiments may increase an efficiency and reduce a complexity of the wireless device, based on that the UL-parameter field is not comprised for a T k  field being indicated with a usage for ‘DL’, in the TCI-indication (MAC-CE) message. 
       FIG. 25  shows an example of joint TCI indications, according to some embodiments. In an example embodiment, a wireless device may transmit uplink signals (e.g., to a base station or to a second wireless device), based on a value indicated by a TCI field of a DCI, where the value may be mapped to a TCI being activated and set with its usage for ‘UL’ (or ‘joint DL/UL’) via a TCI-indication message, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. 
     A wireless device may receive, e.g., from a base station or from a second wireless device, one or more messages comprising configuration parameters for a plurality of TCIs. The one or more messages may further comprise configuration parameters for a mode (e.g., behavior, configuration mode, (feature) enabler, feature (by RRC enabler(s)), (feature) operation, method, scheme, (configuration) parameter, option, state, type, indication mechanism, and/or the like) for TCI indication (e.g., a first mode based on individual TCI-states, based on examples of  FIG. 23 , or a second mode based on joint TCI(s), based on examples of  FIG. 24 ). In an example, the one or more messages may comprise one or more RRC messages. 
     In an example, the mode for TCI indication may be pre-determined (e.g., identified, defined, or pre-set) for the wireless device, e.g., based on a pre-defined (or pre-specified) rule, or based on the wireless device&#39;s capability-related information (and based on the wireless device&#39;s capability reporting, etc.). In an example, the mode for TCI indication may not be explicitly configured, activated, or indicated to the wireless device, where a functionality based on the mode for TCI indication may be applied to the wireless device without explicit signaling, based on example embodiments. In an example, the wireless device may determine (e.g., identify, apply, or set) a mode for TCI indication based on performing a capability reporting, from the wireless device, indicating one or more modes for TCI indication which the wireless device support, e.g., based on a pre-defined rule to apply a mode (e.g., a default one, e.g., a lowest-indexed mode or a highest-indexed mode, etc.) of a plurality of modes for TCI indication. 
     The wireless device may receive a (TCI-indication) message indicating (e.g., activating, updating, down-selecting) one or more TCIs of the plurality of TCIs and one or more (link) indicators associated with the one or more TCIs, e.g., based on the second mode for TCI indication (being set/determined/configured to the wireless device) where the second mode is based on joint TCI(s), based on examples of  FIG. 24 . A link indicator of the one or more link indicators, corresponding to a TCI of the one or more TCIs, may indicate the TCI is applicable to a (link) type of a plurality of (link) types, based on examples of  FIG. 26 . A first type (for ‘DL’) of the plurality of types may comprise at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs (and a CSI-RS, etc.). A second type (for ‘UL’) of the plurality of types may comprise at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PUSCH and one or more PUCCH resources (and an SRS, etc.). A third type (for ‘joint DL/UL’) of the plurality of types may comprise at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s) and uplink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PDSCH, a PUSCH, one or more CORESETs, and one or more PUCCH resources (and a CSI-RS, and an SRS, etc.). In an example, the (TCI-indication) message may be (e.g., comprise) a MAC-CE message. 
     In response to receiving the (TCI-indication) message, the wireless device may determine a mapping between one or more codepoints of a TCI field of a DCI and the one or more TCIs of the plurality of TCIs (e.g., activated/indicated by the TCI-indication message). In an example, the mapping may comprise a one-to-one mapping, e.g., based on an increasing order of the one or more codepoints and an increasing order (in terms of k) of the one or more TCIs (T k  fields). 
     In an example, the wireless device may receive a second DCI comprising the TCI field. The wireless device may determine a second value indicated by the TCI field being mapped to a second TCI of the one or more TCIs, where the second TCI is set with its usage being ‘UL’ as uplink, e.g., via the TCI-indication message. In response to determining the second value, the wireless device may transmit at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PUSCH and one or more PUCCH resources (and an SRS, etc.) based on the second TCI. In an example, the wireless device may transmit a PUSCH, e.g., scheduled by the second DCI (or scheduled by a first (separated) DCI, or scheduled by a higher-layer signaling, e.g., as a semi-persistent (or configured-grant) PUSCH, etc.), of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the second TCI. In an example, the wireless device may transmit a UCI via the one or more PUCCH resources, of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the second TCI. In an example, the wireless device may transmit an SRS via an SRS resource, of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the second TCI. 
     In an example, the wireless device may receive a third DCI comprising the TCI field. The wireless device may determine a third value indicated by the TCI field being mapped to a third TCI of the one or more TCIs, where the third TCI is set with its usage being ‘joint DL/UL’ as both downlink and uplink, e.g., via the TCI-indication message. In response to determining the third value, the wireless device may receive at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs (and a CSI-RS, etc.) based on the third TCI. In an example, the wireless device may receive a PDSCH, e.g., scheduled by the third DCI (or scheduled by a higher-layer signaling, e.g., as a semi-persistent (or configured-grant) PDSCH, etc.), of the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the third TCI. In an example, the wireless device may monitor (e.g., detect, receive) a PDCCH via the one or more CORESETs, of the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the third TCI. In an example, the wireless device may receive (e.g., measure) a CSI-RS via a CSI-RS resource, of the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the third TCI. 
     In response to determining the third value, the wireless device may transmit at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PUSCH and one or more PUCCH resources (and an SRS, etc.) based on the third TCI. In an example, the wireless device may transmit a PUSCH, e.g., scheduled by the third DCI (or scheduled by a first (separated) DCI, or scheduled by a higher-layer signaling, e.g., as a semi-persistent (or configured-grant) PUSCH, etc.), of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the third TCI. In an example, the wireless device may transmit a UCI via the one or more PUCCH resources, of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the third TCI. In an example, the wireless device may transmit an SRS via an SRS resource, of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the third TCI. 
     Example embodiments may save overhead in an RRC (re-)configuration of the plurality of TCIs, based on that the plurality of TCIs (as being a unified/joint TCI pool) may not need to be re-configured (once it is configured), e.g., unless a new source RS(s) are found, because a TCI of the plurality of TCIs may be flexibly indicated/associated with one among ‘DL’, ‘UL’, (and ‘joint DL/UL’), via the TCI-indication (MAC-CE) message, e.g., after the RRC configuration of the plurality of TCIs. 
     Example embodiments may reduce a complexity and power consumption of the wireless device, based on that the wireless device may turn off a functionality of providing a reference for determining common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) based on a TCI (e.g., associated (currently, previously, etc.) with its usage of ‘joint DL/UL’) of the plurality of TCIs, in response to receiving a TCI-indication (MAC-CE) message indicating the TCI is (re-)activated for ‘DL’ (e.g., not the ‘joint DL/UL’). 
       FIG. 26A  and  FIG. 26B  show examples of a (TCI-indication) message indicating (e.g., activating, updating, down-selecting) one or more TCIs of the plurality of TCIs and one or more (link) indicators associated with the one or more TCIs, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In an example, the (TCI-indication) message may comprise a MAC-CE message. A first MAC PDU subheader with a first LCID (e.g., ‘110101’ as being reused based on ‘TCI State Indication for UE-specific PDSCH’, ‘110101’ as being reused based on ‘TCI State Indication for UE-specific PDCCH’, a reserved LCID value, e.g., one ranging from ‘100001’ to ‘101111’, and/or the like, as shown in  FIG. 19 ) may identify the TCI-indication message. 
     The TCI-indication message may comprise at least a first number of T k  fields. The TCI-indication message may have a fixed size. The TCI-indication message may comprise nine octets (N=9), e.g., comprising at least the first number of T k  fields (e.g., a bitmap for up to 32 TCIs, each TCI comprising 2-bit length). The TCI-indication message may comprise seventeen octets (N=17), e.g., comprising at least the first number of T k  fields (e.g., a bitmap for up to 64 TCIs, each TCI comprising 2-bit length). The TCI-indication message may comprise thirty-three octets (N=33), e.g., comprising at least the first number of T k  fields (e.g., a bitmap for up to 128 TCIs, each TCI comprising 2-bit length). 
     In an example, a (link) indicator of the one or more (link) indicators may be indicated via (e.g., inside, within, using) a T k  field. The link indicator may (selectively) indicate one among ‘DL’ as downlink (e.g., when set to ‘01’), ‘UL’ as uplink (e.g., when set to ‘10’), and ‘joint DL/UL’ as both downlink and uplink (e.g., when set to ‘11’), e.g., via a 2-bit T k  field. 
     The TCI-indication message may further comprise a Serving-Cell-ID field. The Serving-Cell-ID field may indicate an identity (ID) of a serving cell for which the TCI-indication message applies. The length of the Serving-Cell-ID field may comprise 5 bits as an example (e.g., indicating one among up to 32 serving cells). The wireless device may determine that a serving cell indicated by the Serving-Cell-ID field is being configured as a part of a cell list (e.g., CC/BWP list) for simultaneous TCI update across the cell list, e.g., via a higher-layer parameter of simultaneousTCI-UpdateList1-r16, simultaneousTCI-UpdateList2-r16, simultaneousTCI-UpdateListNew, and/or the like. In response to the determining, the wireless device may apply the TCI-indication message to (all the) serving cells (configured) in the cell list (e.g., simultaneousTCI-UpdateList1-r16, simultaneousTCI-UpdateList2-r16, simultaneousTCI-UpdateListNew, and/or the like, respectively). 
     The TCI-indication message may further comprise a C field (e.g., a CORESET-Pool-ID field). The C field may indicate that a mapping between activated TCI(s) (e.g., all the TCIs with T k  field set to non-zero, e.g., being ‘01’, ‘10’, or ‘11’) of the first number of T k  fields and one or more codepoints of the TCI field of the DCI is specific to a CORESET group (or pool) index (e.g., CORESETPoolIndex, CORESET pool ID, a TRP ID of a TRP, ControlResourceSetId, coresetPoolIndex, and/or the like). The C field (being) set to 1 may indicate that the TCI-indication message may be applied for the DL transmission scheduled by a first CORESET with the CORESET pool ID equal to 1. The C field (being) set to 0 may indicate that the TCI-indication message may be applied for the DL transmission scheduled by a second CORESET with the CORESET pool ID equal to 0. 
     The wireless device may determine that a coresetPoolIndex is not configured for any CORESET. In response to the determining that a coresetPoolIndex is not configured for any CORESET, the wireless device (e.g., a MAC entity of the wireless device) may ignore the C field (when receiving the TCI-indication message). The wireless device may determine that a serving cell indicated by the Serving-Cell-ID field (of the same TCI-indication message) is configured in a cell list (e.g., CC/BWP list) that contains more than one serving cells (e.g., for simultaneous TCI update across the cell list, e.g., via a higher-layer parameter of simultaneousTCI-UpdateList1-r16, simultaneousTCI-UpdateList2-r16, simultaneousTCI-UpdateListNew, and/or the like). In response to the determining that the serving cell indicated by the Serving-Cell-ID field is configured in the cell list, the wireless device (e.g., a MAC entity of the wireless device) may ignore the C field (when receiving the TCI-indication message). 
     The TCI-indication message may further comprise a BWP-ID field. The BWP-ID field may indicate a DL-BWP for which the TCI-indication message applies as a codepoint of a Bandwidth part indicator field in a DCI. The wireless device may determine a UL-BWP (e.g., a paired UL-BWP associated with the DL-BWP, a UL-BWP with the same BWP ID of what the DL-BWP has) being associated with the DL-BWP (e.g., via a separate signaling, e.g., pre-configured/pre-indicated by RRC) or being indicated separately/independently from the DL-BWP (e.g., via the TCI-indication message) or being as a current UL-BWP (e.g., indicated by the most recent signaling, e.g., via a Bandwidth part indicator field in a (UL-related) DCI). In an example, at least one TCI (with T k  field) set to ‘10’ for UL (or ‘11’ for ‘joint DL/UL’) indicated by the TCI-indication message may be associated with the UL-BWP. In response to receiving a DCI indicating a TCI of the at least one TCI, the wireless device may apply the TCI to the UL-BWP via which the wireless device may perform transmission of uplink signals based on the TCI. The length of the BWP-ID field may be 2 bits. The wireless device may determine that a serving cell indicated by the Serving-Cell-ID field (of the same TCI-indication message) is configured in a cell list (e.g., CC/BWP list) that contains more than one serving cells (e.g., for simultaneous TCI update across the cell list, e.g., via a higher-layer parameter of simultaneousTCI-UpdateList1-r16, simultaneousTCI-UpdateList2-r16, simultaneousTCI-UpdateListNew, and/or the like). In response to the determining that the serving cell indicated by the Serving-Cell-ID field is configured in the cell list, the wireless device (e.g., a MAC entity of the wireless device) may ignore the BWP-ID field (when receiving the TCI-indication message). 
     As shown in  FIG. 26A , a T k  field may indicate an activation/deactivation status of a TCI (T N,i ) with TCI-ID k, e.g., k=4(N−2)+i. The T k  field may be set to zero, ‘00’, (e.g., by the base station, or by the second wireless device) indicating the TCI (T k ) with TCI-ID k is deactivated and is not mapped to a codepoint of a TCI field in a DCI. The T k  field may be set to ‘01’ indicating the TCI (T k ) with TCI-ID k is activated (e.g., selected, down-selected, indicated, updated) and mapped to a codepoint (of one or more codepoints) of the TCI field in the DCI. In response to determining the T k  field being set to ‘01’, the wireless device may determine the TCI (T k ) with TCI-ID k is activated for DL (common beam) usage, e.g., the TCI (T k ) with TCI-ID k is applicable for DL (common beam) reference. The T k  field may be set to ‘10’ indicating the TCI (T k ) with TCI-ID k is activated (e.g., selected, down-selected, indicated, updated) and mapped to the codepoint of the TCI field in the DCI. In response to determining the T k  field being set to ‘10’, the wireless device may determine the TCI (T k ) with TCI-ID k is activated for UL (common beam) usage, e.g., the TCI (T k ) with TCI-ID k is applicable for UL (common beam) reference. The T k  field may be set to ‘11’ indicating the TCI (T k ) with TCI-ID k is activated (e.g., selected, down-selected, indicated, updated) and mapped to the codepoint of the TCI field in the DCI. In response to determining the T k  field being set to ‘11’, the wireless device may determine the TCI (T k ) with TCI-ID k is activated for joint DL/UL (common beam) usage, e.g., the TCI (T k ) with TCI-ID k is applicable for both DL and UL (common beam) reference. 
     As shown in  FIG. 26B , based on examples of  FIG. 26A , the wireless device may determine one or more T k  fields, of the TCI-indication message, are set to non-zero values (e.g., are not set to ‘00’), e.g., are set to one of ‘01’, ‘10’, and ‘11’. In an example, the wireless device may determine a first activated TCI being T 0  with TCI-ID k=0, where a value of the T 0  field is set to ‘01’ for DL (common beam) usage. The wireless device may determine a second activated TCI being T 2  with TCI-ID k=2, where a value of the T 2  field is set to ‘10’ for UL (common beam) usage. The wireless device may determine a third activated TCI being T 3  with TCI-ID k=3, where a value of the T 3  field is set to ‘01’ for DL (common beam) usage. The wireless device may determine a fourth activated TCI being T 4  with TCI-ID k=4, where a value of the T 4  field is set to ‘10’ for UL (common beam) usage. The wireless device may determine a fifth activated TCI being T 6  with TCI-ID k=6, where a value of the T 6  field is set to ‘01’ for DL (common beam) usage. The wireless device may determine a sixth activated TCI being T 7  with TCI-ID k=7, where a value of the T 7  field is set to ‘01’ for DL (common beam) usage. The wireless device may determine a seventh activated TCI being T 9  with TCI-ID k=9, where a value of the T 9  field is set to ‘11’ for joint DL/UL (common beam) usage. The wireless device may determine an eighth activated TCI being T 10  with TCI-ID k=10, where a value of the T 10  field is set to ‘01’ for DL (common beam) usage. The wireless device may determine that a value of ‘00’ is set for other T k  fields for which k #0, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, where the TCIs corresponding to the other T k  fields are deactivated. Example embodiments may improve an efficiency and flexibility in activating (e.g., updating, indicating, selecting) a TCI, set to non-zero values (e.g., having/setting a value among ‘01’, ‘10’, and ‘11’ (as the link indicator), via a T k  field of the one or more T k  fields of the TCI-indication message), based on the usage of the TCI, e.g., indicated by one among ‘DL’ by setting ‘01’, ‘UL’ by setting ‘10’, and ‘joint DL/UL’ by setting ‘11, indicated by the (same) TCI-indication message. Example embodiments may save overhead in configuring (or re-configuring, etc.) the plurality of TCIs (e.g., by RRC) based on that a TCI of the plurality of TCIs may be (re-)activated (e.g., updated, changed, switched) for a usage among the ‘DL’, ‘UL’ (and ‘joint DL/UL), e.g., via a second TCI-indication message, where the usage for the TCI is not fixed when configured (by RRC). 
     The TCI-indication message may comprise a (UL-parameter) field, associated with a T k  field being indicated with a usage for ‘UL’ (or for ‘joint DL/UL’), e.g., via a value of the (link) indicator being set to ‘10’ or ‘11’, where the (UL-parameter) field may indicate (linkage) index(es) for UL parameters (e.g., power control (PC) parameter(s), timing advance (TA) related information, UL-port information, UL-Tx panel information, etc.), e.g., via an octet (e.g., Oct U1) or more octets, of the (same) TCI-indication message (e.g., or via a separate message). 
     In an example, the TCI-indication message may comprise a first UL-parameter field, e.g., of an octet (e.g., Oct U1) or more octet(s), associated with a T 2  field set by ‘10’ indicating a usage for ‘UL’, where the first UL-parameter field indicates first (linkage) index(es) for UL parameters (e.g., power control (PC) parameter(s), timing advance (TA) related information, UL-port information, UL-Tx panel information, etc.) being configured separately/independently (or being configured/activated/indicated in the same TCI-indication message). When scheduled/indicated for transmission of a first uplink signal based on the second activated TCI (T 2 ) with TCI-ID k=2, the wireless device may transmit the first uplink signal based on the T 2  and a first indication (e.g., information content) indicated by the first UL-parameter field which is associated with the T 2 . 
     In an example, the TCI-indication message may comprise a second UL-parameter field, e.g., of an octet (e.g., Oct U2) or more octet(s), associated with a T 4  field set by ‘10’ indicating a usage for ‘UL’, where the second UL-parameter field indicates second (linkage) index(es) for UL parameters (e.g., power control (PC) parameter(s), timing advance (TA) related information, UL-port information, UL-Tx panel information, etc.) being configured separately/independently (or being configured/activated/indicated in the same TCI-indication message). When scheduled/indicated for transmission of a second uplink signal based on the fourth activated TCI (T 4 ) with TCI-ID k=4, the wireless device may transmit the second uplink signal based on the T 4  and a second indication (e.g., information content) indicated by the second UL-parameter field which is associated with the T 4 . 
     In an example, the TCI-indication message may comprise a third UL-parameter field, e.g., of an octet (e.g., Oct J 1 ) or more octet(s), associated with a T 9  field set by ‘11’ indicating a usage for ‘joint DL/UL’, where the third UL-parameter field indicates third (linkage) index(es) for UL parameters (e.g., power control (PC) parameter(s), timing advance (TA) related information, UL-port information, UL-Tx panel information, etc.) being configured separately/independently (or being configured/activated/indicated in the same TCI-indication message). When scheduled/indicated for transmission of a third uplink signal based on the seventh activated TCI (T 9 ) with TCI-ID k=9, the wireless device may transmit the third uplink signal based on the T 9  and a third indication (e.g., information content) indicated by the third UL-parameter field which is associated with the T 9 . In an example, when scheduled/indicated for reception of downlink signals based on the seventh activated TCI (T 9 ) with TCI-ID k=9 (e.g., for the usage of ‘joint DL/UL’), the wireless device may receive the downlink signals based on the T 9  and may ignore (e.g., not apply) the third indication (e.g., information content) indicated by the third UL-parameter field for the receiving the downlink signals. 
     Example embodiments may improve an efficiency and a flexibility in uplink power control for transmission of uplink signals using a TCI, based on that the TCI activated/indicated with a usage for ‘UL’ (or for ‘joint DL/UL’) being set to ‘10’ or ‘11’ via a TCI-indication message, may be (flexibly) associated with a PC parameter(s) via the (linkage) index(es) for UL parameters indicated/determined by the (same) TCI-indication message. 
     Example embodiments may improve an efficiency and a reliability in uplink timing (advance) control for transmission of uplink signals using a TCI, based on that the TCI activated/indicated with a usage for ‘UL’ (or for ‘joint DL/UL’) being set to ‘10’ or ‘11’ via a TCI-indication message, may be (flexibly) associated with a TA parameter(s) via the (linkage) index(es) for UL parameters indicated/determined by the (same) TCI-indication message. 
     Example embodiments may improve an efficiency and a robustness in UL-port(s) determination for transmission of uplink signals using a TCI, based on that the TCI activated/indicated with a usage for ‘UL’ (or for ‘joint DL/UL’) being set to ‘10’ or ‘11’ via a TCI-indication message, may be (flexibly) associated with UL-port(s) related information via the (linkage) index(es) for UL parameters indicated/determined by the (same) TCI-indication message. In an example, the UL-port(s) related information may comprise PUSCH-ports related information based on how many PUSCH ports (and what port number(s) mapped to the PUSCH, etc.) are used for transmission of the PUSCH (e.g., based on SRS-port(s) which may be related to the PUSCH, e.g., in determining a precoder/beamformer for the PUSCH). 
     Example embodiments may improve an efficiency and a flexibility in uplink panel(s) determination for transmission of uplink signals using a TCI (e.g., for determining which Tx panel(s) of the wireless device is/are used for the transmission), based on that the TCI activated/indicated with a usage for ‘UL’ (or for ‘joint DL/UL’) being set to ‘10’ or ‘11’ via a TCI-indication message, may be (flexibly) associated with UL-Tx panel related information via the (linkage) index(es) for UL parameters indicated/determined by the (same) TCI-indication message. In an example, the UL-Tx panel related information may comprise one or more panel ID(s), indicating that one or more panel(s) of the wireless device corresponding to the one or more panel ID(s) may be used for the transmission of the uplink signals, e.g., based on the wireless device&#39;s capability (reporting) (e.g., on how many panel(s) are supported/implemented by the wireless device, etc.). 
     The TCI-indication message may comprise a first (simultaneous-CC) field, where the first (simultaneous-CC) field may indicate a first cell list (e.g., CC/BWP list) for simultaneous TCI update across the cell list, e.g., via an octet (e.g., Oct S 1 ) or more octets, of the (same) TCI-indication message. In response to receiving the TCI-indication message, comprising the first simultaneous-CC field, the wireless device may apply the TCI-indication message to one or more (e.g., all the) serving cells indicated by the first cell list. 
     The TCI-indication message may comprise a second (simultaneous-CC) field, where the second (simultaneous-CC) field may indicate a second cell list (e.g., CC/BWP list) for simultaneous TCI update across the second cell list, e.g., via an octet (e.g., Oct S 2 ) or more octets, of the (same) TCI-indication message. In response to receiving the TCI-indication message comprising the second simultaneous-CC field and determining that a serving cell indicated by the Serving-Cell-ID field (of the TCI-indication message) belongs to the second cell list, the wireless device may apply the TCI-indication message to one or more (e.g., all the) serving cells indicated by the second cell list. In response to receiving the TCI-indication message comprising the second simultaneous-CC field and determining that a serving cell indicated by the Serving-Cell-ID field (of the TCI-indication message) belongs to the first cell list, the wireless device may apply the TCI-indication message to one or more (e.g., all the) serving cells indicated by the first cell list. 
     Example embodiments may reduce overhead in configuring (or re-configuring when necessary, etc.) a cell list (e.g., CC/BWP list) for simultaneous TCI update across the cell list, based on indicating the cell list via the (same) TCI-indication message indicating one or more TCIs of the plurality of TCIs and one or more (link) indicators associated with the one or more TCIs, where the cell list may not be fixed when configured (by RRC) but may be indicated via the (same) TCI-indication message. Example embodiments may improve an efficiency and a flexibility in a cell-list determination for applying the TCI-indication message to which CC(s)/BWP(s), where the cell-list determination may be based on a serving cell indicated by the Serving-Cell-ID field (of the TCI-indication message) belongs to which cell list (e.g., either the first cell list or the second cell list). 
     The TCI-indication message may comprise a concatenated message/octet structure comprising a one or more first fields for indicating/activating first TCI(s) for downlink (common beam) indication, a one or more second fields for indicating/activating second TCI(s) for uplink (common beam) indication, (and a one or more third fields for indicating/activating third TCI(s) for joint DL and UL (common beam) indication), e.g., of the plurality of TCIs. In an example, the one or more first fields may indicate (explicit) TCI-ID(s) corresponding to the first TCI(s). The TCI-indication message may further comprise a first parameter indicating how many TCI-ID(s) corresponding to the first TCI(s) is/are being comprised in the one or more first fields, e.g., determining a length/bitwidth or size of octet(s) for the one or more first fields. In an example, the one or more second fields may indicate (explicit) TCI-ID(s) corresponding to the second TCI(s). The TCI-indication message may further comprise a second parameter indicating how many TCI-ID(s) corresponding to the second TCI(s) is/are being comprised in the one or more second fields, e.g., determining a length/bitwidth or size of octet(s) for the one or more second fields. In an example, the one or more third fields may indicate (explicit) TCI-ID(s) corresponding to the third TCI(s). The TCI-indication message may further comprise a third parameter indicating how many TCI-ID(s) corresponding to the third TCI(s) is/are being comprised in the one or more third fields, e.g., determining a length/bitwidth or size of octet(s) for the one or more third fields. Example embodiments may save overhead for the TCI-indication message based on values of at least one among the first parameter, the second parameters, and the third parameters, e.g., the overhead saving based on signaling (explicit) TCI-ID(s) may be larger, when the values of at least one among the first parameter, the second parameters, and the third parameters are small numbers (e.g., when a first value of the first parameter is 4, a second value of the second parameter is 2, etc.), compared with a bitmap-based signaling, e.g., based on the T k  fields. 
     The concatenated message/octet structure may comprise at least one among a first Serving-Cell-ID field, a first C field (e.g., a CORESET-Pool-ID field), and a first BWP-ID field, which may be (commonly) applicable to at least one among the one or more first fields, the one or more second fields, (and the one or more third fields) via the TCI-indication message. The concatenated message/octet structure may comprise at least one among a second Serving-Cell-ID field, a second C field (e.g., a CORESET-Pool-ID field), and a second BWP-ID field, which may be applicable to at least one among the one or more second fields (and the one or more third fields) via the TCI-indication message, and (separately) the at least one among a first Serving-Cell-ID field, a first C field, and a first BWP-ID field may be applicable to at least one among the one or more first fields (and the one or more third fields) via the TCI-indication message. A maximum number of TCIs being activated, in total, indicated by at least one among the one or more first fields, the one or more second fields, (and the one or more third fields) via the TCI-indication message may be pre-determined (e.g., pre-defined by a rule, pre-configured from the base station, or separately indicated from the base station). Example embodiments may improve flexibility and efficiency in indicating DL-TCI(s) (e.g., via the one or more first fields) for a first serving-cell indicated by the first Serving-Cell-ID field (and for a first BWP, e.g., a DL-BWP, indicated by the first BWP-ID field) and indicating UL-TCI(s) (e.g., via the one or more second fields) for a second serving-cell indicated by the second Serving-Cell-ID field (and for a second BWP, e.g., a UL-BWP, indicated by the second BWP-ID field). 
       FIG. 27  shows an example of determining one or more codepoints of a TCI field of a DCI, based on examples of  FIG. 25 ,  FIG. 26A , and  FIG. 26B , in response to receiving the TCI-indication message, e.g., via a MAC-CE, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in  FIG. 26B , the wireless device may receive the TCI-indication message indicating the one or more TCIs (of the plurality of TCIs) comprising the first activated TCI (To) set to ‘01’ for DL, the second activated TCI (T 2 ) set to ‘10’ for UL, the third activated TCI (T 3 ) set to ‘01’ for DL, the fourth activated TCI (T 4 ) set to ‘10’ for UL, the fifth activated TCI (T 6 ) set to ‘01’ for DL, the sixth activated TCI (T 7 ) set to ‘01’ for DL, the seventh activated TCI (T 9 ) set to ‘11’ for ‘joint DL/UL’, and the eighth activated TCI (T 10 ) set to ‘01’ for DL. 
     In response to the receiving the TCI-indication message, the wireless device may determine a mapping between one or more codepoints of a TCI field of a DCI and the one or more TCIs of the plurality of TCIs (e.g., activated/indicated by the TCI-indication message). In an example, the mapping may comprise a one-to-one mapping, e.g., based on an increasing order of the one or more codepoints and an increasing order (in terms of k) of the one or more TCIs (T k  fields). Based on the mapping, as shown in  FIG. 27 , the wireless device may determine a codepoint ‘000’ (of the TCI field) mapped to the first activated TCI (To) set to ‘01’ for DL, a codepoint ‘001’ mapped to the second activated TCI (T 2 ) set to ‘10’ for UL, a codepoint ‘010’ mapped to the third activated TCI (T 3 ) set to ‘01’ for DL, a codepoint ‘011’ mapped to the fourth activated TCI (T 4 ) set to ‘10’ for UL, a codepoint ‘100’ mapped to the fifth activated TCI (T 6 ) set to ‘01’ for DL, a codepoint ‘101’ mapped to the sixth activated TCI (T 7 ) set to ‘01’ for DL, a codepoint ‘110’ mapped to the seventh activated TCI (T 9 ) set to ‘11’ for ‘joint DL/UL’, and a codepoint ‘111’ mapped to the eighth activated TCI (T 10 ) set to ‘01’ for DL. 
     The wireless device may receive a first DCI comprising the TCI field. The wireless device may determine a first value, as being the codepoint ‘010’, indicated by the TCI field being mapped to the third activated TCI (T 3 ) of the one or more TCIs, where the third activated TCI (T 3 ) is set with its usage being ‘DL’ as downlink, e.g., via the TCI-indication message. In response to determining the first value, the wireless device may receive at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs (and a CSI-RS, etc.) based on the third activated TCI (T 3 ). In an example, the wireless device may receive a PDSCH (e.g., via a DL-BWP indicated by a Bandwidth part indicator field in the first DCI), e.g., scheduled by the first DCI (or scheduled by a higher-layer signaling, e.g., as a semi-persistent (or configured-grant) PDSCH, etc.), of the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the third activated TCI (T 3 ). In an example, the wireless device may monitor (e.g., detect, receive) a PDCCH via the one or more CORESETs, of the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the third activated TCI (T 3 ). The wireless device may transmit a HARQ-ACK signal for an acknowledgement of successfully receiving the PDSCH and of successfully decoding the first DCI to apply the third activated TCI (T 3 ) to the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs (and a CSI-RS, etc.). 
     The wireless device may receive a second DCI comprising the TCI field. The wireless device may determine a second value, as being the codepoint ‘011’, indicated by the TCI field being mapped to the fourth activated TCI (T 4 ) of the one or more TCIs, where the fourth activated TCI (T 4 ) is set with its usage being ‘UL’ as uplink, e.g., via the TCI-indication message. In response to determining the second value, the wireless device may transmit at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PUSCH and one or more PUCCH resources (and an SRS, etc.) based on the fourth activated TCI (T 4 ). In an example, the wireless device may transmit a PUSCH (e.g., via a UL-BWP associated with a DL-BWP indicated by a Bandwidth part indicator field in the second DCI), e.g., scheduled by the second DCI (or scheduled by a first (separated) DCI transmitting the PUSCH via a UL-BWP indicated by a Bandwidth part indicator field in the first separated DCI, or scheduled by a higher-layer signaling, e.g., as a semi-persistent (or configured-grant) PUSCH, etc.), of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the fourth activated TCI (T 4 ). In an example, the wireless device may transmit a UCI via the one or more PUCCH resources, of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the fourth activated TCI (T 4 ). 
     The wireless device may receive a third DCI comprising the TCI field.

In response to determining the third value, the wireless device may receive at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PDSCH and one or more CORESETs (and a CSI-RS, etc.) based on the seventh activated TCI (T 9 ).

In an example, the wireless device may monitor (e.g., detect, receive) a PDCCH via the one or more CORESETs, of the at least one of downlink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the seventh activated TCI (T 9 ). In response to determining the third value, the wireless device may transmit at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), e.g., a PUSCH and one or more PUCCH resources (and an SRS, etc.) based on the seventh activated TCI (T 9 ). In an example, the wireless device may transmit a PUSCH, e.g., scheduled by the third DCI (or scheduled by a first (separated) DCI, or scheduled by a higher-layer signaling, e.g., as a semi-persistent (or configured-grant) PUSCH, etc.), of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the seventh activated TCI (T 9 ). In an example, the wireless device may transmit a UCI via the one or more PUCCH resources, of the at least one of uplink signal(s)/channel(s), based on the seventh activated TCI (T 9 ). 
     Example embodiments may save overhead in an RRC (re-)configuration of the plurality of TCIs, based on that the plurality of TCIs (as being a unified/joint TCI pool) may not need to be re-configured (once it is configured), e.g., unless a new source RS(s) are found, because a TCI of the plurality of TCIs may be flexibly indicated/associated with one among ‘DL’, ‘UL’, (and ‘joint DL/UL’), via a TCI-indication (MAC-CE) message, e.g., after the RRC configuration of the plurality of TCIs. 
     Example embodiments may reduce a complexity and power consumption of the wireless device, based on that the wireless device may turn off a functionality of providing a reference for determining common uplink Tx spatial (domain) filter(s) based on a TCI (e.g., associated (currently, previously, etc.) with its usage of ‘joint DL/UL’) of the plurality of TCIs, in response to receiving a TCI-indication (MAC-CE) message indicating the TCI is (re-)activated for ‘DL’ (e.g., not the ‘joint DL/UL’). 
     In some embodiments, a wireless device receives, e.g., from a base station, one or more messages comprising configuration parameters for a plurality of TCIs. The wireless device may receive a message comprising indications of: one or more TCIs of the plurality of TCIs; and a TCI type of each TCI of the one or more TCIs.
