Set 1

Baseline: normal SSB/SIB1 transmission, with 20ms repetition period for both.

 

Based on the simulation results, at empty load, one result shows that BS energy saving gain can be achieved by 15.7%-28.3% with only PSS and SSS transmitted from SSB, and half-reduced SIB1 transmission One company show that the gain from light SSB only ranges from 0.8% to 4.4%, which slightly increases as the listening periodicity of WUS from UE becomes larger. One result shows that simplified SSB with PSS, SSS and partial PBCH, for empty load and Set 1 reference configuration, 2.4% BS energy savings can be achieved.

No impact on UPT was observed due to empty load.

Based on the results,

·          One company observed that statically skipping certain SIB1 transmission occasions under Set 1 reference configuration for BS Category 1 can achieve energy saving gain by 2.6%~3.9% compared to the baseline of 20 ms SSB&SIB1 repetition periodicity at low load. No impact to UPT was observed. There is no random access procedure modelled in the simulation, therefore the impact on access delay/latency is not shown.

·          One company observed that static adaptation of number of SSB can achieve energy saving gain by 0.3%~25.4% at different scenarios with FTP3 model. The gain generally increases when the traffic load becomes lighter while decreases as the SSB periodicity becomes larger. For a same traffic load and SSB periodicity, the gain increases as the number of SSB can be reduced. For FR2 with larger number of SSB for baseline, there is generally larger gain observed than FR1. Due to reduced number of SSB, access delay is increased. Performance of dynamic adaptation of SSB numbers is not provided. There is no random access procedure modelled in the simulation, therefore the impact on access delay/latency is not shown.

Based on the results with static configurations from 9 sources, it can be observed that longer SSB/SIB1 periodicity can bring BS with significant energy savings in most cases, compared to a selected baseline, for both BS Categories, under all reference configurations. When other configurations/settings are the same, the saving gain generally increase as the periodicity becomes larger, and decrease as the traffic load increases or the number of SSBs increases. Particularly, there are two companies providing results with SSB periodicity larger than 160ms which is the maximum value that is currently supported, i.e., being 640ms and 1280ms, and observed that together with longer SIB1/RACH/RO monitoring periodicities, then depending on the traffic load, the BS energy saving gain can be 53.6%~7.1% and 83.6%~3.4%, respectively, compared to a baseline with 20ms SSB periodicity.

The scheme does not affect the UPT for empty load case. When traffic occurs and load increases, the UPT also significantly decreases. The latency/access delay/UE power consumption increases proportionally as the periodicity of SSB/SIB increases compared to a corresponding baseline.

Performance of dynamic SSB/SIB1 periodicity adaptation is not provided.

"Compact SSB" without any network traffic either in DL or UL. Therefore, there are no statistics for UPT, latency, etc..

 

Based on the results,

·        One company observed that for BS category 1 and at empty load case, statically adapting paging configuration could provide BS energy savings by 0.3%~6.7% when paging load (resource used for paging) is 0.2%~0.5%, and the gain can be up to 42.3% when paging load is increased up to 3.6%. The gain could also increases as the number of SSB increases. Performance of dynamically adapting paging configurations is not provided. The above energy saving gains were achieved with SSB periodicity of 80ms or 160ms.

·        One company observed that having compact SSB (i.e., no time gap between consecutive SSBs) could provide 10.3% network energy saving for BS category 1 and at empty load case in FR2 when SSB periodicity is 20ms. Furthermore, UE power saving can be improved by 4%.

The gain generally increases as PRACH periodicity increases for the same number of SSBs. Performance of dynamic RACH configuration is not provided.

On UPT/access delay/latency, this scheme increases access delay/latency from 10ms to 70ms, proportional to the increased PRACH periodicity.

"light SSB" combined with UL WUS and on demand SIB 1

 

For UE WUS signal triggering SSB/SIB1/RACH for RRC IDLE/INACTIVE/CONNECTED mode, based on results from 4 sources, it is observed that, with UE WUS signal triggering a BS of 100% detection assumption,

·        With C-DRX, at low load, one source observed about 50% network energy savings with marginal UE power increment, without UPT loss observed. The scheduling delay when switching to a new gNB is not modelled.

·        For the evaluations with assumption of RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE mode without C-DRX,

o   without DL transmission including DL common signals before gNB reception of WUS, with WUS period of 20ms, 80ms and 160ms, at zero or low load, the network energy savings could be 7.4%~32.1% (6.2%~45.6%), 19.6%~69.6% (6.4%~51.9%), 23.8%~ 83.7% (6.5%~52.5%) respectively by using Category 1 (Category 2) BS power model. The savings can increase as the WUS period increases, and decrease as the traffic load increases. When WUS period is 20ms, marginal UPT loss, access delay/latency increment and UE power consumption increment are observed. The UPT loss and access delay/latency increases as WUS periodicity increases, while there is marginal UE power consumption increment.

o   With sparse SSB of 160ms periodicity transmitted before gNB reception of WUS, at zero or low load, 27.3%~29.7% (18.1%~19.1%), 60.4%~66.6% (18.3%~19.4%), 72.8%~80.7% (18.3%~19.4%) network energy savings can be achieved with WUS period of 20ms, 80ms and 160ms respectively by using Category 1 (Category 2) BS power model. When WUS period is 20ms, marginal UPT loss, access delay/latency increment and UE power consumption increment are observed. The UPT loss and access delay/latency increases as WUS periodicity increases, while there is marginal UE power consumption increment.

·        Note: gNB coordination for WUS reception is assumed. Resource configuration for WUS is not specifically modelled, while one source assumes the configuration of WUS can be obtained from a camping cell. For the case of no DL transmission, also gNB synchronization is further assumed.

·        Note: For evaluation results from 2 source, it is assumed that UE achieves timing for the UL WUS transmission from the other cell. For evaluation results from 2 source, it is assumed that UE achieves synchronization with the gNB targeted for energy saving utilizing discovery signal from the same cell, and one source assumed the discovery signal contains PSS only and its use is to help the UE to get synchronized and to be able to transmit an uplink trigger signal. The differentiation of multiple gNBs which has detected the WUS is not modelled.

o   The detection of WUS is assumed to be ideal. False triggering for detection of targeting gNB is not considered.

For UE WUS signal triggering gNB to wake up in case of uplink traffic arrival, for RRC_CONNECTED without C-DRX and without DL common signals/DL transmission other than PDCCH carrying UL grant, with the assumption of a separate receiver used and 100% detection assumption, at low load, 1 source observed that,

·        With WUS detection power of 10, 55 or, with 90 which has the same active UL power

o   When the WUS periodicity is same as the baseline of SR periodicity, 77.8%~93%, 66.7%~92.8% or 57.2%~76.4% network energy savings could be achieved respectively;

o   When the WUS periodicity is smaller than the SR periodicity of the baseline, 76.3%~92%, 46.7%~78% or 25.7%~67.1% network energy savings could be achieved respectively;

o   For each case, the gain generally increases as the WUS periodicity increases and decreases as the traffic load increases. The gain could also increase as the gNB detection power decreases.

o   There is latency reduction observed, which could increase as the periodicity of WUS decreases. The gain can be up to 45%.

·        The assumption is that gNB needs to wake up to detect SR but can detect WUS during sleep state. gNB is assumed to be in a state such that the main UL receiver is still in deep sleep when detecting wake-up signal and gNB is able to wake up from deep sleep to active in one slot after WUS detection. The WUS receiver is assumed to be active only when detection of WUS signal and becomes 0 power in other time.

When combined with a light version of SSB and on demand SIB1, one source observed 18.7% network energy savings at low load for FR2, assuming the light version of SSB contains PSS only and its use is to help the UE to get synchronized and to be able to transmit an uplink trigger signal.

Based on 6 sources results, semi-static UE C-DRX alignment achieves BS energy savings gain by 0.2%~71.4% depending on the traffic, UE DRX configurations, and the assumed baseline e.g. random DRX offset per UE, or gNB is always ON to provide service to the UE. At low or light traffic load cases, 4 sources show that the gain can be 14.4%~71.4%, while 3 sources show less than 6.7% gain, depending on whether BS and UE active duration are aligned or not; at medium load case, 2 sources show network energy saving gain can be 4.8%~47.8%.  According to one source, dropping SSB outside UE active time can achieve the energy savings by 14.4%~70.1% and it is assumed that the UE active durations are aligned and the potential impact on synchronization and UE measurement outside the UE duration is not considered.

On UPT, one result shows there is marginal negative impact while one result shows it can be up to 15.5%. Also, one result shows that the impact on UPT varies: when the UE DRX cycle is 160ms and gNB active time is 80ms, the UPT is increased while in other configurations, there can be large UPT loss. 

On access delay/latency, one result shows marginal increment while one result shows the increment can be up to 50%. Also, about 50% unfinished packet ratio is observed from one source compared to the baseline without UE C-DRX alignment during the evaluation period. The increments are related to the DRX configuration.

Additionally, one source shows that at low and medium load, the average EE is increased up to 28.93% when UE DRX alignment is assumed, whereas for light load case, average EE decreases up to 12.24% when UE DRX alignment is assumed.

Observation includes the results for techniques that are also evaluated under #A-6. The following is observed.

In general, for SSB and/or SIB saved from one carrier of two carriers, 8 resources observed BS energy savings gain, by 5.1%~97.4% for empty load, 3.0%~58.4% for low load, and 1.0%~7.9% for light load, 0.3%~5.7% for medium load. When traffic load is low, network may turn off SCell for energy saving. The results are for FR1 only.

With one of two carriers having simplified SSB and no SIB1, one result shows BS energy saving gain can be achieved by 31.4%~56.5% compared with a baseline of both carriers having SSB and SIB1 periodicity of 20ms; the same source company result also show that with CA configured where SIB1 is already carried by PCell, compared with normal SSB on SCell, the gain of simplified SSB on SCell can be 5.7%~10.5%.

With SIB-less only from one of two carriers and SSB is still transmitted,

·        one result shows that 33.6%~16.0% BS energy saving gain can be achieved compared with a carrier has 20ms SIB1 periodicity and both SSB and SIB1 are transmitted, and the gain which decreases as the traffic load increases, compared with 20ms SIB1 periodicity. Meanwhile, the SIB1 carried on another carrier increase the energy of that carrier by 7.5%~5.5%, resulting a total saving across two carries by 26.1%~10.5%. The gain decreases to 4.0% when the baseline SIB1 periodicity increases to 160ms;

·        one result shows BS energy saving gain can be 3.3%~40.7% compared with baseline of SSB+SIB periodicity of {20ms+20ms, 80ms+80ms, 160ms+160ms} for anchor cell and non-anchor cell; meanwhile, the SIB1 carried on another carrier increase the energy of that carrier by 2.0%~17.8%, resulting a total saving across two carries by 1.3%~22.9%;

·        one result shows at different loads, compared to baseline of 20 ms SSB/SIB1 periodicity, that BS energy savings can be achieved by 53.8%~36.5% with RO periodicity of 20ms and 160ms;

·        also one result show less than 2.3% BS energy savings when compared with a baseline of SCell having SIB1.

With SSB-less only from one of two carriers, for CA in which case the SIB is already saved from ScellSCell, with assumption that UE is able to acquire sync from a carrier from another band,

·        at different loads, compared to a baseline of 20 ms SSB/SIB1 periodicity, one result shows BS energy savings by 27.5%~22.7% and 51.8%~43.2% when the RO periodicity is 20ms and 160ms respectively;

·        two results show that BS energy savings can be 5.1%~14.7% at different loads, compared to a baseline of 20ms SSB periodicity;

·        one result shows with the same load, BS energy saving gain can be 6.1%~15.2% for DL traffic, and 18.7%~39.4% for UL traffic compared with baseline of SSB periodicity of {20ms, 80ms, 160ms}. The BS energy saving gain from SSB-less cell with UL traffic is 12.6%~24.2% larger than SSB-less cell with DL traffic;

·        one result also shows that when the baseline Scell SSB periodicity is 160ms, only 0.3%~3% BS energy savings can be achieved, and one another shows BS energy savings by less than 7.9% if compared with Scell having SIB1.

·        UE measurement is based on SSB(s) transmitted in the other carrier of the two carriers

With both SSB-less and SIB1-less from one of two carriers for non-CA operation, with assumption that UE is able to acquire sync from a carrier from another band,

·        compared to baseline of 20 ms SSB/SIB1 periodicity on both carriers, one result shows BS energy savings by 55.1%~44.4% with RO periodicity of 20ms~160ms at different loads, and one result shows 9.1%~14.8% energy savings at empty load if an anchor carrier carries additional SIB1 for another carrier;

·        at different loads, compared to baseline of 20 ms SSB/SIB1 periodicity, one result shows BS energy savings by 36.0%~13.5% when combined with simplified SSB (i.e. PSS and SSS only);

·        one result shows that with baseline of SSB+SIB periodicity of {20ms+20ms, 80ms+80ms, 160ms+160ms} for anchor cell and non-anchor cell, BS energy savings can be 9.4%~97.9% if an anchor carrier carries the SSB and SIB1 for another carrier depending on the traffic load. Meanwhile, the SIB1 carried on another carrier increase the energy of that carrier by 2.0%~17.8%, resulting a total saving across two carries by 7.4%~80.1%.

·        Comparison with CA is not provided

·        UE measurement is not considered

For source results where SSB is not transmitted in SCell, performance impact(s) due to lack of AGC and cell measurement results before SCell access and activation is not provided.

For source results where SSB is not transmitted in neighbour cell, mobility performance impact(s) due to SSB-less operation in neighbour cell(s) is not provided.

In most results for SSB and/or SIB saved from one carrier of two carriers, the UPT is not negatively impacted while one result shows slightly increased UPT. One source shows that the SCell activation delay can also be reduced to 6ms from the baseline.

No negative impact observed on UE power consumption for the above schemes.

Additionally, SSB-less SCell for CA can slightly improve the average EE, reported by one result.

One company showed that UE-group Pcell switching together with Scell dormancy could provide network energy saving by up to 37.5% for two-CC CA scenario with FR1 Set 1. However, UPT degrades by 14% if one Scell goes to dormant state.

The following capture the results for semi-statically configured bandwidth part of UEs within a carrier. The evaluation is performed with different traffic, e.g. medium traffic to light traffic for Set 1, and low traffic to very low traffic for Set 3, and the reduced BW of 80 MHz is applied as NES mode compared with baseline BW of 100 MHz.

The following capture the results for dynamic adaptation of spatial elements.

Table 6.1.1-x: BS energy savings by adaptation of spatial elements

Use table in section 6.3.1.2 of R1-2212935

12 sources observed that BS energy savings can be achieved, at all loads for different sets of reference configurations with FTP3 for FTP3 IM traffic models, with or without UE C-DRX configuration. The gain depends on whether there is multiple CSI report assistance, the number of antenna ports that can be adapted, the load scenarios, and UPT loss. No performance analysis was provided for broadcast and common channels with dynamic antenna adaptation.

With dynamic/semi-static adaptation of spatial elements,

·        One source shows that BS energy saving for UE specific PDSCH for FR1 can be achieved by 3.4%~19.2% with dynamic adaptation and multi-CSI, compared to dynamic adaptation of spatial elements with single CSI report. The UPT loss was observed by less than 10%.

·        2 sources shows that the gain for UE specific PDSCH for FR1 can be 7.6%~31.3% with dynamic adaptation and multi-CSI, compared with no adaptation, with UPT loss of 0.02%~7%.

·        2 sources show that the gain can be 6.7%~26.5% with dynamic adaptation without multi-CSI, compared to no adaptation, with UPT loss of 0.3%~18.5%.

·        9 sources show that the gain can be 4.8%~48.2% with static adaptation without multi-CSI, compared to no adaptation, with UPT loss of 0.02%~87.08%. One source observed that the downlink coverage is reduced by 4.5dB – 6.5dB when reducing the number of TxRUs from 64 to 32 in Set 1 FR1 configuration.

·        One source shows that when dynamic antenna adaptation is variably changed, the gain is reduced to a range of 0~4.5% with 0.02%~2.18% UPT loss.

·        One source shows BS energy saving can be 18.8%~19.7% that additional gain can be obtained when this scheme is combined with PDSCH power offset. The UPT loss is observed by 9.06%.

·        More number of elements are reduced, more gain can be generally obtained.

On latency, there is negative impact observed in three sources and the increment becomes larger as the number of reduced antenna ports becomes larger.

On UE power consumption, 2 sources show that there is increase by up to 79.99% % (number of TX RU is reduced from 64 to 8).

Additionally, one result shows that the average EE can be generally increased except for the low load case where number of antenna is reduced from 64 to 16, and the case of antenna number variably changing.

With dynamic power reduction assisted by multi-CSI,

·        For UE specific PDSCH in FR1, one source observed BS energy saving gain by 5.3%~11.5%, compared to dynamic power reduction without multi-CSI report; one source observed BS energy savings by 12.1%~23.8%, compared to no power reduction baseline;

·        The gain generally increases when the traffic load increases;

·        The UPT loss is less than 1.17%.

·        No performance analysis was provided for broadcast and common channels with dynamic downlink transmission power adaptation.

With semi-static power reduction of 3~18dB in 6 sources and two other sources, compared to a baseline without power reduction, network energy saving can be achieved by 3.9%~51.6%.

·        The gain can increase as the traffic load increases in most cases while one source observed a reduced gain, for BS category 1 with power reduction of 3 dB;

·        The UPT loss is observed from 2.03%~19.49%.

One source observed that the latency can be increased by up to 24.21% when the power reduction level is up to 9 dB; one source observed that packet latency can be increased by 24.7% while scheduling delay is not increased.

On UE power consumption, one source shows that less than 10% increment is observed in most cases.

One source also observed that when combined with spatial element reduction, in the case of 3 dB power reduction, the network energy savings can be further increased by about 10%, while together with UPT loss/UE power consumption increase/latency increase of 9.06%/7.62%/9.96% respectively.

One source shows this scheme can increase the average EE. One source observed that the downlink SINR is reduced by 3dB – 4dB when reducing the downlink transmission power from 55dBm to 52dBm in Set 1 FR1 configuration.

6.1.X.1     Description of technique

In Rel-15 NR, time-domain positions of transmitted SSBs within a half frame are semi-statically configured. Further, UE assumes a single periodicity for the transmitted SSBs. The transmission of common signal and channels or reception of random-access signals may limit the gNB ability to use (deeper) sleep modes to save energy. Currently, system information (SI) update mechanism can adapt the parameters in the cell, such as those associated with downlink common and broadcast signals, such as SSB/SI/paging/cell common PDCCH, and/or the periodicity/availability of uplink random access resources.

Technique A-1 adapts the transmission pattern (when applicable) of downlink common and broadcast signals, such as SSB/SI/paging/cell common PDCCH, and/or the transmission pattern/availability of uplink random access opportunities. Adaptation of the transmission pattern includes changes to periodicity, time resource locations, and omitting of specific signals/channels. The transmission pattern can be adapted semi-statically or dynamically. For adaptation of uplink random access opportunities, PRACH resources configured via SIB1 are used to support legacy and Rel-18 UEs and dynamic adapted RACH resources are additionally available for Rel-18 UEs.

6.1.X.1     Description of technique

The semi-static configured UE specific channels/signals may require the gNB to perform periodic transmission or reception if they are activated. Except for positioning RS (PRS), the configurations for the listed UE-specific signals/channels are BWP-specific. Current specification allows gNB to dynamically activate/deactivate CG-PUSCH/SPS/CSI-RS/CSI report/SRS using DCI (i.e., PDCCH transmission) in UE specific manner..

6.1.X       Technique A-3

6.1.X.1     Description of technique

Technique A-3 enables for the UE to send an uplink wake-up signal to request transitioning of a cell from no or reduced transmission/reception activity to active transmission or reception of a channel/signal. The technique can be applied to UEs in one or more RRC states. The UE wake up signal (WUS) may be used to trigger the SSB/SIB transmission. Technique A-3 can be used trigger SSB/SIB1 transmissions in A-6. Technique A-3 can be used to trigger gNB to wake up in A-4.

With the support of WUS, the gNB might be inactive (e.g., where it does not transmit nor receive signal/channel or where it only transmits and receives limited signals). A gNB can transition to become active for transmitting or receiving a channel/signal upon reception of an uplink signal from the UE.

The list of UE and RAN1 specification impact described in this section is not an exhaustive list. RAN1 may identify additional impact and also determine that listed impact below may no longer apply to the described technique(s) as specification is further developed.

6.1.X       Technique A-4

6.1.X.1     Description of technique

Currently, the gNB can use reduce downlink transmission/uplink reception activity without an explicit cell DTX/DRX pattern with restrictions due to UE DRX configurations and any configured transmission/reception, e.g., common channels/signals. Currently C-DRX is configured per UE. The alignment of the DRX cycles or offsets for different UEs can be done only via RRC. During UE DRX off period, the UE does not expect to monitor PDCCH, but it is allowed to initiate UL transmission according to the configured resources (e.g. using PUCCH, RACH, SR, or CG-PUSCH). Aligning/Omitting of DRX patterns across multiple UE’s can be achieved via gNB implementation. In addition, UE expects to monitor/receive configured DL signals/channels and network is expected to monitor/receive configured UL signals/channels, which may prevent the cell DTX/DRX.

 

Technique A-4 aims at providing mechanisms informing UE whether the cell stays inactive. This may include enhancements to UE DRX configuration, e.g., to align/omit DRX cycles or start offsets of DRX, for UEs in connected mode or idle/inactive mode, potentially allowing longer opportunities for cell inactivity. During a cell DTX/DRX, the cell may have no transmission/reception or only keep limited transmission/reception. For example, the cell does not need to transmit or receive some periodic signals/channels, such as common channels/signals or UE specific signals/channels.

- potential channel/signal design and mechanism and uplink procedure (e.g., UE request or assistance feedback) related to cell DTX/DRX,.

- enhancements to UE DRX configuration.

- enhancements to UE DRX parameter adaptation.

For the cell DTX/DRX cases, depending on DTX/DRX occasions, legacy UEs and UEs that do not support the technique may not have impact to idle/inactive/connected mode operations. For example, if DTX/DRX are not applied to common signals and channel required for idle/inactive/connected modes or applied in UE specific manner, legacy UEs and UEs that do not support the technique may not be impacted.

6.3.X       Technique C-1

6.3.X.1     Description of technique

According to legacy MIMO procedures, the adaptation of spatial elements can be achieved by RRC (re-)configurations updating, such as CSI-RS (re-)configurations, in a semi-static manner. Moreover, the current framework allows UE to be configured with multiple CSI-RS resources, where these CSI-RS configurations may be with respect to different numbers of spatial antenna ports or antenna elements. With CSI reports respect to different number of spatial elements available, gNB is able to dynamically adjust the number of spatial elements for PDSCH transmission in current specification. CSI-RS and CSI reporting configurations are BWP-specific, and BWP adaptation framework can be utilized for the adaptation for a UE capable of multiple BWPs and dynamic BWP switching.

Indication for potential enhancements related to spatial element adaptation may help the UEs to adapt the already configured CSI-RS configuration such as dynamic/semi-persistent ON-OFF of CSI-RS or to reconfigure the CSI-RS configuration, with respect to adapted number of spatial elements/ports.

Technique C-1 aims to enhance dynamically adaptation of spatial elements such as the number of active transceiver chains or the number of active antenna panels at gNB in transmitting and/or receiving channels and signals.

Current specification supports SSB/SIB1-less operation for intra-band CA, where UE retrieves system information from and can perform synchronization based on another intra-band cell that transmits SSB and SIB1. Current specification supports SSB periodicity configuration up to 160 msec.

For technique A-6, the UE may obtain system information from other associated carriers/cells and synchronize from other associated carriers/cells and/or synchronize from signal(s) transmitted on the cell.

Technique A-6 also supports on-demand SSBs/SIB1 transmissions and enable longer periods of cell inactivity to achieve network energy saving. SSB/SIB1 transmission at the serving cell can be triggered on-demand, e.g by the UE.

6.1.X.2     Analysis of performance and impacts

[Editor Note: Analysis/Observation of performance evaluations to be discussed in AI 9.7.1]

6.1.X.3     Legacy UE and RAN1 Specification impacts

The list of UE and RAN1 specification impact described in this section is not an exhaustive list. RAN1 may identify additional impact and also determine that listed impact below may no longer apply to the described technique(s) as specification is further developed.

Specification impact of the technique may include:

-   channel/signal design and behaviors and procedures of on-demand SSBs/SIB1 and any related signaling,

-   random access related enhancement including procedures and configuration for UEs to access the SSB/SIB1-less carrier/cell,

-   mobility support or paging for the cell that does not transmit SSB and/or SIB1,

-   design for new signal/channel (if any) and related procedures,

For on-demand SSB, if no SSB or simplified SSB is transmitted and normal SSB transmission is triggered upon reception of UE WUS, legacy UEs and UEs that do not support this technique may not be able to operate in this cell.

-   Technique may be enabled for a carrier only when legacy UEs are not using the carrier.

For on-demand SIB1, if no SIB1 is transmitted and normal SIB1 transmission is triggered upon reception of UE WUS, legacy UEs and UEs that do not support this technique may not be able to operate in this cell.

-   Technique may be enabled for a carrier only when legacy UEs are not using the carrier.

For technique where UE may obtain system information from other associated carriers/cells, cell without a SSB cannot be used as Pcell/PScell/inter-band Scell for legacy UEs and UEs that do not support this technique.

For technique where UE may obtain system information from other associated carriers/cells, cell without a SIB1 cannot be used as Pcell for legacy UEs and UEs that do not support this technique.

==== start of TP ====

6.2.X       Technique B-1

6.2.X.1     Description of technique

Intra-band SSB-less Scell operation is supported by the current specification. Pcell switching is supported by handover command according to current specification.

Technique B-1 supports inter-band CA with SSB-less Scell. No SSB transmission in some inter-band SCell. The synchronization is acquired from other cell with SSB transmission or same cell with simplified signal transmission, also in order for fast activation and deactivation of SCell. Enabling of inter-band SSB-less Scell operation that may include mechanism for UE/gNB to trigger normal SSB transmission and/or reference signals, if needed, on a SCell for fast access, where the on-demand uplink triggering signal can be received either at inter-band SSB-less cell or another carrier/cell. RACH transmission opportunity may be supported in SSB-less Scell.

Technique B-1 supports dynamic Pcell switching in which a common primary cell may be dynamically indicated for a group of UEs.

6.2.X.2     Analysis of performance and impacts

[Editor Note: Analysis/Observation of performance evaluations to be discussed in AI 9.7.1]

6.2.X.3     Legacy UE and RAN1 Specification impacts

The list of UE and RAN1 specification impact described in this section is not an exhaustive list. RAN1 may identify additional impact and also determine that listed impact below may no longer apply to the described technique(s) as specification is further developed.

For SSB-less inter-band CA, Specification impact of the technique may include:

-   RACH procedures in SSB-less SCell for inter-band CA,

-   enhancement on SCell activation procedure,

-   enhancements on SCell dormancy operation,

-   design for new simplified signal/channel (if supported) and related procedures,

Legacy UEs or UEs that do not support this feature may not be able to operate inter-band CA with SSB-less Scells. A carrier without SSB cannot be operated as a PCell for legacy UEs. The carrier cannot be operated as an SCell for legacy UEs if another intra-band carrier with SSB is not present. At least the feasibility and/or potential requirements of acquiring synchronization/measurements (including AGC aspects) from other cell with SSB transmission in inter-band CA needs study.

For inter-band SSB-less technique, cell without a SSB cannot be used as Pcell/PScell/inter-band Scell for the legacy UEs and UEs that do not support this technique.

For UE-group Pcell switching, specification impact may include:

-   mechanism to signal Pcell switching,

-   UE behavior based on indicated signalling.

·        Handling of PUCCH deferral operation during non-active periods of cell DRX

·        Handling of overlapping channels where a least a channel overlaps with non-active periods of cell DTX/DRX

·        Handling of signals/channels that can be received/transmitted repeatedly during non-active periods of cell DTX/DRX

·        Handling of PUCCH switching during non-active period to an active cell

·        Other enhancements are not precluded.

 

R1-2304120        Discussion summary #5 for enhancements on cell DTX/DRX mechanism               Moderator (Intel Corporation)

From April 26th GTW session

Agreement

For PDDCH monitoring, further work on Rel-18 NES in RAN1 is to follow the RAN2 agreement below:

10.  The understanding for the gNB scheduling behaviour for new transmissions during Cell DTX non-active period is that the gNB does not schedule UE-specific dynamic grants/assignments, even if the UE is in C-DRX Active Time. UE doesn’t monitor PDCCH for dynamic grants/assignments for new transmissions during Cell DTX non-active period, even if the UE is in C-DRX Active time. FFS how to deal with any exceptions (e.g. SR if agreed and RACH).

 

Working Assumption

Support of L1 signaling at least for activation/deactivation of a cell DTX and/or DRX configuration is feasible (e.g., in terms of enabling/disenabling the feature) from RAN1 perspective.

From Tuesday session

Agreement

Support gNB can configure report quantities of 'cri-RI-i1-CQI', 'cri-RI-CQI', or 'cri-RI-i1'.

 

Agreement

For CSI mapping of subbands for a CSI report having multiple sub-configurations, odd sub-band CSI(s) of all sub-configurations in one multi-CSI reporting are mapped after all even sub-band CSI(s) in one multi-CSI reporting.

 

Conclusion

No consensus to have spec update with respect to the issue 6 in R1-2310308.

 

Agreement

·         For a CSI report config containing sub-configuration(s), support  in Table 5.4-2 of TS 38.214 for CSI computation delay requirements.

·       For CPU occupation and update, if there are not enough CPUs for processing the entire CSI report, legacy UE behavior is used

Comeback support of Z1, Z1’. If no consensus, only Z2, Z2’ will be supported.

Friday confirmation: Only Z2, Z2’ will be supported.

 

Agreement

For a CSI report having sub-configuration including port subset indication, CSI-RS port re-indexing is supported.

 

Agreement

5.2.2.5      CSI reference resource definition

<omitted text>

-      if a sub-configuration indicates a power offset [powerOffset], for CQI calculation, the UE shall assume the corresponding PDSCH signals transmitted on the antenna ports of a CSI-RS resource would have a ratio of EPRE to CSI-RS EPRE equal to the [difference] between powerControlOffset of the CSI-RS resource, given in Clause 5.2.2.3.1, and [powerOffset] [, where the difference is expected to take one of the values that can be configured for powerControlOffset of the CSI-RS resource, given in Clause 5.2.2.3.1, and is also expected to take a value that is no larger than the value of powerControlOffset].

<omitted text>

·       The range of [powerOffset] in the above TP is [0…23] in dB with step size of 1 dB.

 

R1-2310309         FL summary#3 for SD and PD adaptation for R18 NES              Moderator (Huawei)

From Wednesday session

Agreement

·       Adopt the following TP for TS 38.214, Clause 5.2.1.1

=== start of TP===

The time domain behavior of the CSI-ReportConfig is indicated by the higher layer parameter reportConfigType and can be set to 'aperiodic', 'semiPersistentOnPUCCH', 'semiPersistentOnPUSCH', or 'periodic'. For 'periodic' and 'semiPersistentOnPUCCH'/'semiPersistentOnPUSCH' CSI reporting, the configured periodicity and slot offset applies in the numerology of the UL BWP in which the CSI report is configured to be transmitted on. The higher layer parameter reportQuantity indicates the CSI-related, L1-RSRP-related, L1-SINR-related, CapabilityIndex-related or TDCP-related quantities to report. The reportFreqConfiguration indicates the reporting granularity in the frequency domain, including the CSI reporting band and if PMI/CQI reporting is wideband or sub-band. The timeRestrictionForChannelMeasurements parameter in CSI-ReportConfig can be configured to enable time domain restriction for channel measurements and timeRestrictionForInterferenceMeasurements can be configured to enable time domain restriction for interference measurements. The CSI-ReportConfig can also contain CodebookConfig, which contains configuration parameters for Type-I, Type II, Enhanced Type II CSI, Further Enhanced Type II Port Selection, Enhanced Type II for coherent joint transmission (CJT), Further Enhanced Type II Port Selection for CJT, Enhanced Type II for predicted PMI, or Further Enhanced Type II Port Selection for predicted PMI including codebook subset restriction when applicable, and configurations of group-based reporting. A UE is not expected to be configured with a CSI report setting associated with a dormant DL BWP if the reportConfigType is set to 'aperiodic'. A CSI-ReportConfig can contain a list of sub-configurations, provided by the higher layer parameter [csi-ReportSubConfigList], where each sub-configuration is identified by [csi-ReportSubConfigID] and corresponds to a list of one or more CSI-RS resources or corresponds to a CSI-RS antenna port subset, and/or corresponds to a power offset for PDSCH relative to CSI-RS additional to powerControlOffset of the CSI-RS resource. A UE is not expected to be configured with a CSI-ReportConfig that contains a mix of sub-configuration(s) each corresponding to a list of one or more CSI-RS resources and some other sub-configuration(s) each corresponding to CSI-RS antenna port subset.

=== end of TP===

 

Conclusion

There is no consensus to support the following:

·       A UE only reports PMI in CSI part 2 for the first sub-configuration among the sub-configurations with the same RI reported across sub-configurations.

Agreement

From RAN1 perspective, up to 4 CSI report configurations can be configured in a BWP for SP CSI reporting on PUCCH where one or more report configurations can contain a list of sub-configuration(s).

·       Send an LS to RAN2 including the relevant agreements made in UE feature discussions.

Comeback on the LS

R1-2310577         SP-CSI reporting for network energy savings         Huawei

Thursday decision: The draft LS is endorsed. Final LS is approved in R1-2310578.

 

 

Agreement

Only codebook type 1 for PMI is supported for type 2 SD adaptation and PD adaptation.

 

Conclusion

There is no consensus on the following proposal:

For a P/SP-CSI report configuration containing a list of L sub-configurations, if at least one subConfig (which is the triggered one for SP-CSI reporting, or configured one for P-CSI report) is associated with more than one CSI-RS resource, nCSI_ref is the smallest value >=5*2μDL; otherwise, it is the smallest value no smaller than 4*2μDL.

 

 

R1-2310310         FL summary#4 for SD and PD adaptation for R18 NES              Moderator (Huawei)

From Thursday session

For RAN1#115:

Further discuss in the next meeting for the following case:

A UE configured with CSI report configuration with e.g. two sub-configurations (sub-config#1 and sub-config#2), each with e.g. two CSI-RS resources, none of the CSI-RS Tx occasions of sub-config#1 meet the CSI reference resource, i.e. they are later than CSI ref. resource, the UE shall

·       Alt 1: report the CSI report, according to current spec

·       Alt 2: report the CSI sub-report#2 only and drop the CSI sub-report#1 only

·       Alt 3: drop the entire CSI report

 

R1-2310574         FL summary#5 for SD and PD adaptation for R18 NES              Moderator (Huawei)

From Friday session

For RAN1#115

·       Further check whether there is any issue according to the current specification that, for the CSI mapping of a CSI report configuration having L sub-configurations, Part 2 wideband CSIs have the same priority and are dropped per sub-configuration level in the ascending order of sub-configuration index.

·       Further check whether part 1 CSI can already be dropped in legacy for a CSI report configuration, and if so, then Part 1 CSIs are dropped per sub-configuration level, in the ascending order of sub-configuration index.

·       Companies are encouraged to provide TPs for necessary changes.

Agreement

For CSI reporting on PUCCH and PUSCH, at least one new table is introduced for the scenarios of Table 6.3.1.1.2-11 and Table 6.3.2.1.2-5 in TS38.212, with update corresponding to the CSI mapping order of part 2 CSI even/odd subbands for CSI reporting corresponding to one or more sub-configurations.

 

Agreement

·       Adopt the following TP for TS 38.214 for the above agreements

5.2.1.4.2   Report Quantity Configurations

---------------------------------------------------- Unchanged text is omitted ---------------------------------------------------------

If the UE is configured with a CSI-ReportConfig that contains a list of sub-configurations, provided by the higher layer parameter [csi-ReportSubConfigList]:

              tThe UE expects to be configured with the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeI-SinglePanel' or 'typeI-MultiPanel'. If the UE indicates a capability for supporting mixed codebook combination in a slot with [ABC], each sub-configuration can be configured with the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeI-SinglePanel' or 'typeI-MultiPanel'.

              -                 Each sub-configuration can be configured with an antenna port subset using the higher layer bitmap parameter [port-subsetIndicator] which contains the bit sequence , where  is the MSB and  is the LSB, bit  corresponds to antenna port , and  is the number of ports nrofPorts configured for the CSI-RS resources(s) within the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet contained in the CSI-ResourceConfig for channel measurement that corresponds to the CSI-ReportConfig. A bit value 0 in [port-subsetIndicator] indicates that the corresponding antenna port is disabled for the sub-configuration, whereas bit value 1 indicates that the antenna port is enabled and belongs to the antenna port subset for the sub-configuration. For the derivation of PMI, antenna ports corresponding to all bits with value of 1 in [port-subsetIndicator] are mapped to consecutive antenna ports starting at CSI-RS antenna port 3000 in increasing order of the bit position in [port-subsetIndicator].

9.2.5         UE procedure for reporting multiple UCI types

< Unchanged parts are omitted >

If a UE would multiplex CSI reports that include Part 2 CSI reports in a PUCCH resource, the UE determines the PUCCH resource and a number of PRBs for the PUCCH resource or a number of Part 2 CSI reports assuming that each of the CSI reports indicates rank 1, or rank combination of {1, 1}, or rank 1 per CSI sub-report, if applicable. If the higher layer parameter csi-ReportMode of CSI reports is set to 'Mode2', the UE determines the PUCCH resource and a number of PRBs for the PUCCH resource or a number of Part 2 CSI reports assuming that each CRI in the CSI report is associated with a resource pair.

From Thursday session

Agreement

For CSI report associated with P/SP CSI-RS resource and configured with reportQuantity including RI, when cell DTX is configured

 

Agreement

Cell DTX/DRX operation is only supported for sTRP.

 

Agreement

TP #22-4 (old #16-1) to TS38.214 - with updated "reasons for change" as shown as per Friday session

Reasons for change: For a CSI reporting configured with reportQuantity comprising at least ‘RI’, if the time domain restriction for channel measurements or interference measurements is enabled and the most recent CSI-RS associated with the CSI resource setting occurs during non-active periods of cell DTX, UE has to skip this CSI reporting, which may impact the system performance.

Summary of change: When cell DTX operation is configured and the time domain restriction for channel measurements or interference measurements is enabled, the CSI-RS used for the corresponding measurements can be redefined as the most recent CSI-RS within the active periods of cell DTX.

Consequences if not approved: For a CSI reporting, if the time domain restriction for channel measurements or interference measurements is enabled and the most recent CSI-RS associated with the CSI resource setting occurs during non-active periods of cell DTX, UE has to skip this CSI reporting, which may impact the system performance.

Agreement

Report quantities of 'cri-RSRP-Index', 'none', 'ssb-Index-RSRP', 'ssb-Index-SINR', 'ssb-Index-RSRP- Index', 'ssb-Index-SINR- Index' or 'tdcp' are NOT applicable to Rel-18 NES.

 

Agreement (further amended in Friday session as shown in red)

·       For Type 2 SD adaptation or joint operation of Type 2 SD and PD adaptation,

o   It is up to gNB configuration whether or not the list of NZP CSI-RS resources configured for a sub-configuration is identical to or has no intersection with the list of NZP CSI-RS resources configured for the other sub-configuration(s) within the same CSI-ReportConfig.

o   The non-PMI-PortIndication, or typeISinglePanel-codebookSubsetRestriction-i2 can be configured in CSI-ReportConfig instead of in sub-configuration.

Agreement

·       CSI-IM is supported for Rel-18 NES without need of spec update, i.e. resource-wise association is maintained between NZP CSI-RS for CM and CSI-IM.

·       NZP CSI-RS for IM is supported for Rel-18 NES.

o   Above applies only for the case of PD only adaptation with a single CSI-RS resource for channel measurement.

 

R1-2312347         FL summary#2 for SD and PD adaptation for R18 NES              Moderator (Huawei)

From Tuesday session

Agreement

Agreement

For Type 2 SD only,

·       The list of NZP CSI-RS resources is identical to or has no intersection with the list of NZP CSI-RS resources configured for any other sub-configuration(s) within the CSI-ReportConfig.

Agreement

For Type 1 SD adaptation, or joint operation of Type 1 SD and PD adaptation,

·       For a CSI report with reportQuantity set to 'cri-RI-i1-CQI', UE expects that typeISinglePanel-codebookSubsetRestriction-i2 to be configured in each sub-configuration that contains port-subsetIndicator.

·       If there is at least one sub-configuration corresponding to 'typeI-SinglePanel' and at least one sub-configuration corresponding to 'typeI-MultiPanel' in the same CSI report configuration, UE expects that codebookMode to be configured in each sub-configuration that contains port-subsetIndicator.

Agreement

-----------------------------------------------------------Text proposal -----------------------------------------------------------

5.2.1.6      CSI processing criteria

<omitted text>

In any slot, the UE is not expected to have more active CSI-RS ports or active CSI-RS resources in active BWPs than reported as capability. NZP CSI-RS resource is active in a duration of time defined as follows. For aperiodic CSI-RS, starting from the end of the PDCCH containing the request and ending at the end of the scheduled PUSCH containing the report associated with this aperiodic CSI-RS. When the PDCCH candidates are associated with a search space set configured with searchSpaceLinking, for the purpose of determining the NZP CSI-RS resource active duration, the PDCCH candidate that ends later in time among the two linked PDCCH candidates is used. For semi-persistent CSI-RS, starting from the end of when the activation command is applied, and ending at the end of when the deactivation command is applied. For periodic CSI-RS, starting when the periodic CSI-RS is configured by higher layer signalling, and ending when the periodic CSI-RS configuration is released. If a CSI-RS resource is referred N times by one or more CSI Reporting Settings not configured with higher layer parameter [csi-ReportSubConfigList], the CSI-RS resource and the CSI-RS ports within the CSI-RS resource are counted N times. For a CSI-RS Resource Set for channel measurement configured with two Resource Groups and  Resource Pairs, if a CSI-RS resource is referred  times by one of the  CSI-RS resources, where  is defined in clause 5.2.1.4.2, and/or one or two Resource Pairs, the CSI-RS resource and the CSI-RS ports within the CSI-RS resource are counted  times.

For a CSI report configuration CSI-ReportConfig containing a list of L sub-configuration(s) indicated in a CSI-ReportConfig provided by higher layer parameter [csi-ReportSubConfigList], if a CSI-RS resource is referred by M sub-configurations among XN triggered sub-configurations for CSI reporting for aperiodic CSI-RS resource, or L configured sub-configurations for CSI reporting for semi-persistent CSI-RS resource or periodic CSI-RS resource, the CSI-RS resource is counted M times and the CSI-RS ports within the CSI-RS resource are counted as follows:

-       if each sub-configuration, of the M sub-configurations, is configured with a CSI-RS antenna port subset, provided by [port-subsetIndicator], or is configured with a list of one or more CSI-RS resources, provided by [nzp-CSI-RS-resourceList], or is configured with a power offset, provided by [powerOffset],

-      M × P if each sub-configuration, of the M sub-configurations, is configured with a list of one or more CSI-RS resources, provided by [nzp-CSI-RS-resourceList], [and/] or is configured with a power offset, provided by [powerOffset],

Where P is the number of ports configured by nrofPorts and  is the number of CSI-RS ports in sub-configuration s derived from the corresponding antenna port subset indicator [port-subsetIndicator] according to clause 5.2.1.4.2 if configured, otherwise  equals to P.

Agreement

Adopt the following TP from [Docomo] for TS 38.214 Clause 5.2.1.4.2

·        Reason for changes:

o    There is no description on the mapping between CRI and CSI-RS resource for a sub-configuration configured with CSI-RS ID list

·        Summary of changes:

o    Add the mapping between CRI and CSI-RS resource for a sub-configuration configured with CSI-RS ID list

·        Consequences if not approved

o    The mapping between CRI and CSI-RS resource for a sub-configuration configured with CSI-RS ID list is unclear

<omitted texts>

If the UE is configured with a CSI-ReportConfig that contains a list of sub-configurations, provided by the higher layer parameter [csi-ReportSubConfigList]:

-      the UE expects to be configured with the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeI-SinglePanel' or 'typeI-MultiPanel'. If the UE indicates a capability for supporting mixed codebook combination in a slot with [ABC], each sub-configuration can be configured with the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeI-SinglePanel' or 'typeI-MultiPanel'.

-      Each sub-configuration can be configured with an antenna port subset using the higher layer bitmap parameter [port-subsetIndicator] which contains the bit sequence , where  is the MSB and  is the LSB, bit  corresponds to antenna port , and  is the number of ports nrofPorts configured for the CSI-RS resources(s) within the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet contained in the CSI-ResourceConfig for channel measurement that corresponds to the CSI-ReportConfig. A bit value 0 in [port-subsetIndicator] indicates that the corresponding antenna port is disabled for the sub-configuration, whereas bit value 1 indicates that the antenna port is enabled and belongs to the antenna port subset for the sub-configuration.

-      If a sub-configuration is configured with an antenna port subset, then the sub-configuration can be configured with a [RI restriction parameter] and, if the number of antenna ports of the subset greater than 2, with [n1-n2 parameter] if the higher layer parameter codebookType is set to 'typeI-SinglePanel' or with [ng-n1-n2 parameter] if the higher layer parameter codebookType is set to 'typeI-MultiPanel', and, if the corresponding number of antenna ports of the subset is 2, with twoTX-CodebookSubsetRestriction, where the parameters [RI restriction],  [n1-n2], [ng-n1-n2], twoTX-CodebookSubsetRestriction are as described in Clauses 5.2.2.2.1 and 5.2.2.2.2.

-      A sub-configuration can be configured with a list of NZP CSI-RS resources, provided by [nzp-CSI-RS-resourceList], which indicates one or more NZP CSI-RS resources, within the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet contained in the CSI-ResourceConfig for channel measurement which corresponds to the CSI-ReportConfig.

[The list of NZP CSI-RS resources is identical to or has no intersection with a list of NZP CSI-RS resources configured for any other sub-configuration(s) within the CSI-ReportConfig.]

If a sub-configuration is configured with a list of NZP CSI-RS resources with more than one resources, the UE shall derive the CSI parameters other than CRI conditioned on the reported CRI, where the CRI k (k ≥ 0) for the sub-configuration corresponds to the configured (k+1)-th entry of associated nzp-CSI-RS-Resources in the list of NZP CSI-RS resources.

-      A sub-configuration can be configured with a power offset provided by [powerOffset].

-      If a sub-configurations is not configured with [nzp-CSI-RS-resourceList] then the sub-configuration shall be associated with all the NZP CSI-RS resources within the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet contained in the CSI-ResourceConfig for channel measurement which corresponds to the CSI-ReportConfig.

-      the UE reports CSI(s) for one or more sub-configurations according to Clauses 5.2.1.5.1, 5.2.1.5.2, 5.2.3 and 5.2.4, and according to the higher layer parameter reportQuantity configured for that CSI-ReportConfig.

Agreement

For CPU occupation time for CSI report with one or more sub-configurations,

·       For periodic CSI report which contains a list of sub-configurations,

o   It occupies CPU(s) from the first symbol of the earliest one of each CSI-RS/CSI-IM/SSB resource for channel or interference measurement within all L configured sub-configurations, respective latest CSI-RS/CSI-IM/SSB occasion no later than the corresponding CSI reference resource, until the last symbol of the configured PUSCH/PUCCH carrying the report.

·       For semi-persistent CSI report on PUSCH (excluding an initial semi-persistent CSI report on PUSCH after the PDCCH triggering the report) or semi-persistent CSI report on PUCCH which contains a list of sub-configurations

o   It occupies CPU(s) from the first symbol of the earliest one of each CSI-RS/CSI-IM/SSB resource for channel or interference measurement within N triggered sub-configurations, until the last symbol of the configured PUSCH/PUCCH carrying the report.

For CSI computation time (Z2, Z2’),

·       For a CSI-ReportConfig with sub-configurations, the definition of the corresponding CSI computation time is based on the CSI-RS resources for channel measurement, the CSI-RS resources for interference measurement and the CSI-IM resources for all triggered sub-configurations for AP-CSI report.

Editors to draft TP if needed.

 

Conclusion

The powerControlOffset configured in TRS still indicates the power offset between PDSCH and TRS.

·       New L1 signalling is not introduced.

·       No spec impact is needed.

Conclusion

NC-JT operation is not applicable for Rel-18 NES.

·       No further spec impact is needed.

Agreement

Adopt the following TP for 38.214, Section 5.2.3 and 5.2.4

·        Reason for changes

o    Terminology of CSIs between 38.214 and 38.212 is misaligned for the description of CSI Part 2 omission

·        Summary of changes

o    Change “CSIs” in 38.214 to “CSI sub-reports”

·        Consequences if not approved

o    Inconsistent terminology between different specifications for description of CSI Part 2 omission

 

-------------------------------- Text Proposal for 38.214, Section 5.2.3 and 5.2.4 -----------------------------------

5.2.3         CSI reporting using PUSCH

*** Unchanged text omitted ***

For both Type I and Type II reports configured for PUCCH but transmitted on PUSCH, the determination of the payload for CSI part 1 and CSI part 2 follows that of PUCCH as described in Clause 5.2.4.

When CSI reporting on PUSCH comprises two parts, the UE may omit a portion of the Part 2 CSI. Omission of Part 2 CSI is according to the priority order shown in Table 5.2.3-1, where  is the number of CSI reports configured to be carried on the PUSCH. Priority 0 is the highest priority and priority  is the lowest priority and the CSI report n corresponds to the CSI report with the nth smallest Prii,CSI(y,k,c,s) value among the  CSI reports as defined in Clause 5.2.5. The subbands for a given CSI report n indicated by the higher layer parameter csi-ReportingBand with value '1' are numbered continuously in increasing order with the lowest subband of csi-ReportingBand with value set to '1' as subband 0. When omitting Part 2 CSI information for a particular priority level, the UE shall omit all of the information at that priority level, except when the corresponding CSI report contains multiple Part 2 CSIs sub-reports with Part 2 each of which corresponding to a sub-configuration from a list of sub-configurations contained in the CSI-ReportConfig as described in Clause 5.2.1.1.

*** Unchanged text omitted ***

-      For a Reporting Setting for which the CSI-ReportConfig contains a list of sub-configurations provided by the higher layer parameter [csi-ReportSubConfigList], for a corresponding CSI report  which contains one or more CSIs sub-reports, omission of Part 2 CSI is done at a sub-configuration level within the same priority level defined by Table 5.2.3-1 where a sub-configuration with an index, provided by [csi-ReportSubConfigID], with lower value has higher priority.

*** Unchanged text omitted ***

5.2.4         CSI reporting using PUCCH

*** Unchanged text omitted ***

If any of the CSI reports consist of two parts, the UE may omit a portion of Part 2 CSI. Omission of Part 2 CSI is according to the priority order shown in Table 5.2.3-1. For a Reporting Setting for which the CSI-ReportConfig contains a list of sub-configurations provided by the higher layer parameter [csi-ReportSubConfigList], for a given CSI report which contains one or more CSIs sub-reports, omission of Part 2 CSI is defined in Clause 5.2.3. Part 2 CSI is omitted beginning with the lowest priority level until the Part 2 CSI code rate is less or equal to the one configured by higher layer parameter maxCodeRate.

*** Unchanged text omitted ***

----------------------------------------------------------- End Text Proposal ---------------------------------------------------------

 

Agreement

For a CSI report configuration containing a list of sub-configurations, after the CSI report (re)configuration, serving cell activation, BWP change, or activation of SP-CSI, the UE reports a CSI report including one or more sub-reports only after receiving at least one CSI-RS transmission occasion for channel measurement and CSI-RS and/or CSI-IM occasion for interference measurement, per sub-configuration, no later than CSI reference resource and drops the report otherwise.

For the above “per sub-configuration”, it is a sub-configuration that is

From Friday session

Agreement

Adopt the following TP for TS 38.214, 5.2.1.4.2

·        Reason for changes:

o    The Rel-18 spec in Section 5.2.1.4.2 seems to limit a CSI-ReportConfig to be associated with only a single CSI-RS resource set the due to the word “the” in the text

·        Summary of changes:

o    Remove the restriction for the association of single resource set

·        Consequences if not approved

o    The association of resource set and reportConfig is single, which is against legacy function

11.5          Adaptation of cell operation

A UE configured for operation on a serving cell according to  one or both of a cell DTX operation by cellDTXConfig and a cell DRX operation by cellDTXDRX-Config cellDRXConfig for the serving cell [11, TS 38.331], can be additionally provided by dci-Format2-9 a Type3-PDCCH search spaceCSS set to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_9 according to a common search space as described in clause 10.1, and a location in DCI format 2_9 by position-inDCI-NES of a cell DTX/DRX indicator field for the serving cell

1  -  if the UE is configured with both cell DTX operation and cell DRX operation for the serving cell, the cell DTX/DRX indicator field includes two bits where the first bit indicates the cell DTX operation and the second bit indicates the cell DRX operation

2  -  if the UE is configured with only one of the cell DTX operation and cell DRX operation for the serving cell, the cell DTX/DRX indicator field includes one bit indicating one of the cell DTX operation and cell DRX operation, respectively, for the serving cell

3  -  a '0' value for a bit of the cell DTX/DRX indicator field indicates deactivation of cell DTX or of cell DRX

4  -  a '1' value for a bit of the cell DTX/DRX indicator field indicates activation of cell DTX or of cell DRX

5  -  if the serving cell is configured with a SUL carrier, the cell DTX/DRX indicator field indication for activation or deactivation of cell DRX applies to both the UL carrier and the SUL carrier

A UE does not expect to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_9 on more than one serving cells.

Adopt the following specification change in TS38.213

------------ Start of TP -----------

11.5          Adaptation of cell operation

A UE does not expect to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_9 on more than one serving cells in one cell group.

*** Unchanged parts are omitted ***

------------ End of TP -----------

 

Agreement

·       For Cell DTX/DRX indication of a block in DCI format 2_9

o   if [cellDTXDRX-L1activation] is configured,

§  2 bits if cellDTXDRXconfigType is configured to dtxdrx for the serving cell;

§  1 bit if cellDTXDRXconfigType is configured to either dtx or drx for the serving cell;

o   otherwise 0 bit.

o   [cellDTXDRX-L1activation] is a new RRC parameter

 

Agreement

·       Introduce a new RRC parameter [cellDTXDRX-L1activation], that indicates configuration of L1 based cell DTX/DRX activation/deactivation for each serving cell.

·       Adopt the follow TP for TS38.212

Reason for change:

Clarify that 2 bits are needed if both cell DTX and cell DRX are configured for a serving cell; otherwise (i.e. only one cell DTX or cell DRX is configured), 1 bit is needed which corresponds to cell DTX or cell DRX configuration activation/deactivation and if not cell DTX and DRX is not configured 0 bits.

Clarify that 1 bit for NES mode indication if configured by higher layers.

Update RRC parameter names in the specification.

Summary of change:

·        update NES-RNTI as cellDTRX-RNTI.

·        Associate the starting position of a block in DCI format 2_9 with a serving cell.

·        clarify the bitwidth of dynamic cell DTX/DRX information field in DCI format 2_9.

·        add NES-mode indication to block definition.

Consequences if not approved:

The starting position and bitwidth of dynamic cell DTX/DRX information field in DCI format 2_9 is unclear.

NES-mode indication associated with nesEvent configuration is missing from specification.

7.3.1.3.10 Format 2_9

DCI format 2_9 is used for activating or de-activating the cell DTX and/or DRX configuration of one or multiple serving cells for one or more UEs and/or to provide NES-mode indication.

The following information is transmitted by means of the DCI format 2_9 with CRC scrambled by NEScellDTRX-RNTI:

-      block number 1, block number 2,…, block number N

       where the starting position of a block associated with a serving cell is determined by the parameter positionInDCI-cellDTRX provided by higher layers for the UE.

If the UE is configured with higher layer parameter to monitor DCI 2_9 with CRC scrambled by XYZ cellDTRX-RNTI, one or more blocks are configured for the UE by higher layers, with the following field defined in the following order for each block:

-      Cell DTX/DRX indication –

-      if [cellDTXDRX-L1activation] is configured, 2 bits if XYZcellDTXDRXconfigType is configured to dtxdrx for the serving cell, with the MSB corresponding to cell DTX configuration and the LSB corresponding to cell DRX configuration; 1 bit if cellDTXDRXconfigType is configured to either dtx or drx for the serving cell;

-      otherwise 01 bit.

-      NES-mode indication – 1 bit if nesEvent is configured and the serving cell is Pcell; otherwise, 0 bit.

 

The size of DCI format 2_9 is indicated by the higher layer parameter sizeDCI-2-9.

From Thursday session

Agreement

·       Adopt the follow TP for TS38.213

Reasons for change: TS38.331 specification does not provide the definition of 0 or 1 for NES-mode indication and is current missing from 3GPP specification. Field naming between TS38.212 and TS38.213 is not consistent.

Summary of change:

Clarify that 0 refers to NES-specific CHO execution condition is not met, and 1 refers to condition met.

Align the field names between TS38.212 and TS38.213.

Consequence if not adopted: Incomplete specifications.

11.5                             Adaptation of cell operation

A UE configured for operation on a serving cell according to one or both of a cell DTX operation by cellDTXConfig and a cell DRX operation by cellDRXConfig for the serving cell [11, TS 38.331], can be additionally provided by dci-Format2-9 a search space set to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_9 according to a common search space as described in clause 10.1, and a location in DCI format 2_9 by position-inDCI-NESpositionInDCI-cellDTRX of a cell DTX/DRX indicationindicator field for the serving cell and/or a NES-mode indication field for Pcell

-      if the UE is configured with both cell DTX operation and cell DRX operation for the serving cell and if [cellDTXDRX-L1activation] is configured, the cell DTX/DRX indicationindicator field includes two bits where the first bit indicates the cell DTX operation and the second bit indicates the cell DRX operation

-      if the UE is configured with only one of the cell DTX operation and cell DRX operation for the serving cell, the cell DTX/DRX indicationindicator field includes one bit indicating one of the cell DTX operation and cell DRX operation, respectively, for the serving cell

-      a '0' value for a bit of the cell DTX/DRX indicationindicator field indicates deactivation of cell DTX or of cell DRX

-      a '1' value for a bit of the cell DTX/DRX indicationindicator field indicates activation of cell DTX or of cell DRX

-      if nesEvent is configured, the NES-mode indication field includes one bit indicating NES-specific CHO execution condition, as described in [12, TS 38.331]

-      a ‘0’ value for a bit of the NES-mode indication field, indicates NES-specific CHO execution condition is disabled [12, TS 38.331]

       a '1' value for a bit of the NES-mode indication field, indicates NES-specific CHO execution condition is enabled [12, TS 38.331]

 

Agreement

·       Adopt the following TP for TS38.214

Reasons for change: For a CSI reporting, the most recent CSI-RS measurement occasion is unclear when cell DTX is activated by RRC or DCI format 2-9.

Summary of change: When cell DTX is activated by RRC or DCI format 2-9, the most recent CSI-RS measurement occasion occurs in active period of cell DTX.

Consequences if not approved: For a CSI reporting, the most recent CSI-RS measurement occasion is unclear when cell DTX is activated.

5.1.6.1      CSI-RS reception procedure

< Unchanged parts are omitted >

If the UE is configured with DRX,

-      if  the UE is configured to monitor DCI format 2_6 and configured by higher layer parameter ps-TransmitOtherPeriodicCSI to report CSI with the higher layer parameter reportConfigType set to 'periodic' and reportQuantity set to quantities other than 'cri-RSRP' and 'ssb-Index-RSRP' when drx-onDurationTimer in DRX-Config is not started, the most recent CSI measurement occasion occurs in DRX active time or during the time duration indicated by drx-onDurationTimer in DRX-Config also outside DRX active time for CSI to be reported;

-      if the UE is configured to monitor DCI format 2_6 and configured by higher layer parameter ps-TransmitPeriodicL1-RSRP to report L1-RSRP with the higher layer parameter reportConfigType set to 'periodic' and reportQuantity set to cri-RSRP when drx-onDurationTimer in DRX-Config is not started, the most recent CSI measurement occasion occurs in DRX active time or during the time duration indicated by drx-onDurationTimer in DRX-Config also outside DRX active time for CSI to be reported;

-      otherwise, the most recent CSI measurement occasion occurs in active time for CSI to be reported.

During non-active periods of cell DTX, the UE configured with cell DTX is not expected to receive the periodic CSI-RS and semi-persistent CSI-RS configured in CSI report configuration in CSI-ReportConfig associated with the higher layer parameter reportQuantity comprising at least ‘RI’. If the cell DTX is activated, the most recent CSI measurement occasion of semi-persistent CSI-RS resource or periodic CSI-RS resource occurs in active periods of cell DTX for CSI report configured by CSI-ReportConfig associated with the higher layer parameter reportQuantity comprising at least ‘RI’.

< Unchanged parts are omitted >

 

Agreement

If a UE would transmit multiple overlapping PUCCHs in a slot or overlapping PUCCH(s) and PUSCH(s) in a slot, where at least one PUCCH/PUSCH overlaps with non-active periods of cell DRX on the respective serving cell, down-select form the following options for the interaction between the Operation A (Resolve the overlapping among PUCCHs/PUSCHs (TS 38.213 clause 9 including sub-clauses)) and Operation B (Determine whether to transmit a PUCCH/PUSCH overlapping with non-active period of cell DRX).

·       Option 1: UE first performs Operation A and then performs Operation B.

 

R1-2312606         Discussion summary #6 for enhancements on cell DTX/DRX mechanism         Moderator (Intel Corporation)

From Friday session

Agreement

·        Reason for change: The order of resolving overlapping PUCCH(s) and/or PUSCH(s) and performing cell DRX operation is not clear in spec.

·        Summary of change: First resolving overlapping PUCCH(s) and/or PUSCH(s) and then performing cell DRX operation

·        Consequences if not approved: The order of resolving overlapping PUCCH(s) and/or PUSCH(s) and performing cell DRX operation is not defined in spec.

9                UE procedure for reporting control information

*** Unchanged text is omitted ***

When a UE determines overlapping for PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmissions of the same priority index other than PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reports before considering limitations for UE transmission due to cell DRX operation or as described in clauses 11.1, 11.1.1, 11.2A, 15 and 17.2, including repetitions if any,

-       first, the UE resolves the overlapping for PUCCHs with repetitions as described in clause 9.2.6, if any

-       second, the UE resolves the overlapping for PUCCHs without repetitions as described in clauses 9.2.5

-         third, the UE resolves the overlapping for PUSCHs and PUCCHs with repetitions as described in clause 9.2.6

-         fourth, the UE resolves the overlapping for PUSCHs and PUCCHs without repetitions as is subsequently described in this clause.

If a UE

-      is provided simultaneousPUCCH-PUSCH and would transmit a PUCCH with a first priority index and PUSCHs with a second priority index that is different than the first priority index, where the PUCCH and the PUSCHs overlap in time

-      can simultaneously transmit the PUCCH and the PUSCHs [18, TS 38.306],

the UE excludes the PUSCHs for resolving the time overlapping between the PUCCH and PUSCHs, where the timeline conditions are not required for the excluded PUSCHs.

When a UE determines overlapping for PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmissions of different priority indexes, other than PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reports, before considering limitations for transmission due to cell DRX operation or as described in clauses 11.1, 11.1.1, 11.2A, 15 and 17.2, including repetitions if any, if the UE is provided uci-MuxWithDiffPrio and the timeline conditions in clause 9.2.5 for multiplexing UCI in a PUCCH or a PUSCH are satisfied

*** Unchanged text is omitted ***

When a UE determines overlapping for PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmissions of different priority indexes, other than PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reports, before considering limitations for transmissions including with repetitions, if any, due to cell DRX operation or as described in clauses 11.1, 11.1.1, 11.2A, 15 and 17.2, if the UE is not provided uci-MuxWithDiffPrio, the UE first resolves overlapping for PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmissions of smaller priority index as described in clauses 9.2.5 and 9.2.6. Then,

-      if a transmission of a first PUCCH of larger priority index scheduled by a DCI format in a PDCCH reception would overlap in time with a repetition of a transmission of a second PUSCH or a second PUCCH of smaller priority index, the UE cancels the repetition of a transmission of the second PUSCH or the second PUCCH before the first symbol that would overlap with the first PUCCH transmission

-      if a transmission of a first PUSCH of larger priority index scheduled by a DCI format in a PDCCH reception would overlap in time with a repetition of the transmission of a second PUCCH of smaller priority index, the UE cancels the repetition of the transmission of the second PUCCH before the first symbol that would overlap with the first PUSCH transmission

where

-      the overlapping is applicable before or after resolving overlapping among channels of larger priority index, if any, as described in clauses 9.2.5 and 9.2.6

-      any remaining PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmission after overlapping resolution is subjected to the limitations for UE transmission due to cell DRX operation or as described in clauses 11.1, 11.1.1, 11.2A, 15 and 17.2,

-      the UE expects that the transmission of the first PUCCH or the first PUSCH, respectively, would not start before  after a last symbol of the corresponding PDCCH reception

-         is the PUSCH preparation time for a corresponding UE processing capability assuming  [6, TS 38.214], based on  and  as subsequently defined in this clause, and  is determined by a reported UE capability

*** Unchanged text is omitted ***

In the remaining of this clause, a UE multiplexes UCIs with same priority index in a PUCCH or a PUSCH before considering limitations for UE transmission due to cell DRX operation or as described in clauses 11.1, 11.1.1, 11.2A, 15 and 17.2. A PUCCH or a PUSCH is assumed to have a same priority index as a priority index of UCIs a UE multiplexes in the PUCCH or the PUSCH.

From Tuesday session

Agreement

·       Adopt the following TP for TS 38.214:

Reason for change: There is ambiguity on whether the current spec supports sub-configuration level of Part 2 wideband CSI omission.

Summary of change: Omission of Part 2 wideband CSI when needed, is done as legacy in report level. Only Part subband CSI is dropped in sub-configuration level.

Consequences if not approved: UE omission behaviour for Part 2 WB CSI is unclear and unnecessarily complicated, if it is interpreted as supported.

-----------------------------------------------------------Text proposal -----------------------------------------------------------

5.2.3         CSI reporting using PUSCH

<Unchanged parts omitted>

When CSI reporting on PUSCH comprises two parts, the UE may omit a portion of the Part 2 CSI. Omission of Part 2 CSI is according to the priority order shown in Table 5.2.3-1, where  is the number of CSI reports configured to be carried on the PUSCH. Priority 0 is the highest priority and priority  is the lowest priority and the CSI report n corresponds to the CSI report with the nth smallest Prii,CSI(y,k,c,s) value among the  CSI reports as defined in Clause 5.2.5. The subbands for a given CSI report n indicated by the higher layer parameter csi-ReportingBand with value '1' are numbered continuously in increasing order with the lowest subband of csi-ReportingBand with value set to '1' as subband 0. When omitting Part 2 CSI information for a particular priority level, the UE shall omit all of the information at that priority level, except for Part 2 subband CSI when the corresponding CSI report contains one or more CSI sub-reports with Part 2 each corresponding to a sub-configuration from a list of sub-configurations provided by csi-ReportSubConfigList contained in the CSI-ReportConfig as described in Clause 5.2.1.1.

 

-      For a Reporting Setting for which the CSI-ReportConfig contains a list of sub-configurations provided by [csi-ReportSubConfigList], for a corresponding CSI report  which contains one or more CSIs sub-reports, omission of Part 2 subband CSI is done at a sub-configuration level within the same priority level defined by Table 5.2.3-1 where a sub-configuration with an index, provided by [csi-ReportSubConfigID], with lower value has higher priority.

<Unchanged parts omitted>

-------------------------------------------------------End of Text proposal ------------------------------------------------------

 

Agreement

·       Adopt the following TP for clause 5.2.1.4.2 of TS 38.214.

Reason for change: For non-PMI feedback in type-1 SD, the value of P is not defined.

Summary of change: For non-PMI feedback in type-1 SD, the value of P is same as the legacy, i.e. {1, 2, 4, 8}.

Consequence if not approved: The value of P in non-PMI feedback in type-1 SD is not clear.

---------------------------- Start of Text Proposal for TS 38.214 -----------------------------

5.2.1.4.2   Report quantity configurations

< Unchanged parts are omitted >

If the UE is configured with a CSI-ReportConfig with the higher layer parameter reportQuantity set to 'cri-RI-CQI',

-      if the UE is configured with higher layer parameter non-PMI-PortIndication contained in a CSI-ReportConfig, r ports are indicated in the order of layer ordering for rank r and each CSI-RS resource in the CSI resource setting is linked to the CSI-ReportConfig based on the order of the associated NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId in the linked CSI resource setting for channel measurement given by higher layer parameter resourcesForChannelMeasurement. The configured higher layer parameter non-PMI-PortIndication contains a sequence  of port indices, where  are the CSI-RS port indices associated with rank ν and  where is the number of ports in the CSI-RS resource. The UE shall only report RI corresponding to the configured fields of PortIndexFor8Ranks.

For a transmission occasion of a single CSI report, a PUCCH resource is provided by pucch-CSI-ResourceList. For a transmission occasion of multiple CSI reports, corresponding PUCCH resources can be provided by multi-CSI-PUCCH-ResourceList. If a UE is provided first and second PUCCH-Config, multi-CSI-PUCCH-ResourceList is provided by the first PUCCH-Config, and PUCCH-ResourceId in pucch-CSI-ResourceList or multi-CSI-PUCCH-ResourceList indicates a corresponding PUCCH resource in PUCCH-Resource provided by the first PUCCH-Config.

If a UE is provided only one PUCCH resource set for transmission of HARQ-ACK information in response to PDSCH reception scheduled by a DCI format or in response to a DCI format having associated HARQ-ACK information without scheduling PDSCH reception, the UE does not expect to be provided simultaneousHARQ-ACK-CSI.

A UE is configured by maxCodeRate a code rate for multiplexing HARQ-ACK, SR, and CSI report(s) in a PUCCH transmission using PUCCH format 2, PUCCH format 3, or PUCCH format 4.

If a UE transmits CSI reports using PUCCH format 2, the UE transmits only wideband CSI for each CSI report [6, TS 38.214]. In the following, a Part 1 CSI report refers either to a CSI report with only wideband CSI or to a Part 1 CSI report with wideband CSI and sub-band CSI.

5.2.1.4.2   Report quantity configurations

<Unchanged texts omitted>

If the UE is configured with a CSI-ReportConfig that contains a list of sub-configurations, provided by [csi-ReportSubConfigList]:

-   The UE expects to be configured with the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeI-SinglePanel' or 'typeI-MultiPanel'. If the UE indicates a capability for supporting mixed codebook combination in a slot with [ABC], each sub-configuration can be configured with the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeI-SinglePanel' or 'typeI-MultiPanel'.

-   Each sub-configuration can be configured with an antenna port subset using the higher layer bitmap parameter [port-subsetIndicator] which contains the bit sequence , where  is the MSB and  is the LSB, bit  corresponds to antenna port , and  is the number of ports nrofPorts configured for the CSI-RS resources(s) within a NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet contained in the CSI-ResourceConfig for channel measurement that corresponds to the CSI-ReportConfig. A bit value 0 in [port-subsetIndicator] indicates that the corresponding antenna port is disabled for the sub-configuration, whereas bit value 1 indicates that the antenna port is enabled and belongs to the antenna port subset for the sub-configuration. For the derivation of PMI, antenna ports corresponding to all bits with value of 1 in [port-subsetIndicator] are mapped to consecutive antenna ports starting at CSI-RS antenna port 3000 in increasing order of the bit position in [port-subsetIndicator].

-   If a sub-configuration is configured with an antenna port subset, then the sub-configuration can be configured with a [RI restriction parameter] and, if the number of antenna ports of the subset greater than 2, with [n1-n2 parameter] if the higher layer parameter codebookType is set to 'typeI-SinglePanel' or with [ng-n1-n2 parameter] if the higher layer parameter codebookType is set to 'typeI-MultiPanel', and, if the corresponding number of antenna ports of the subset is 2, with twoTX-CodebookSubsetRestriction, where the parameters [RI restriction],  [n1-n2], [ng-n1-n2], twoTX-CodebookSubsetRestriction are as described in Clauses 5.2.2.2.1 and 5.2.2.2.2. If a sub-configuration is configured with an antenna port subset, and if higher layer parameter reportQuantity is set to 'cri-RI-i1-CQI', and if the higher layer parameter codebookType is set to 'typeI-SinglePanel', then the sub-configuration can be configured with higher layer parameter typeI-SinglePanel-codebookSubsetRestriction-i2, where typeI-SinglePanel-codebookSubsetRestriction-i2 is as described in Clause 5.2.2.2.1.

-   If a sub-configuration is configured with an antenna port subset, and if the CSI-ReportConfig that contains a mix of sub-configuration(s) each corresponding to 'typeI-SinglePanel' some other sub-configuration(s)  each corresponding to 'typeI-MultiPanel', then the sub-configuration(s) can be configured with the higher layer parameter codebookMode.

-   A sub-configuration can be configured with a power offset provided by [powerOffset].

-   A sub-configuration can be configured with a list of NZP CSI-RS resources, provided by [nzp-CSI-RS-resourceList], which indicates one or more NZP CSI-RS resources, within a NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet contained in the CSI-ResourceConfig for channel measurement which corresponds to the CSI-ReportConfig. If there is no sub-configuration configured with a power offset provided by [powerOffset], the list of NZP CSI-RS resources has no intersection with a list of NZP CSI-RS resources configured for any other sub-configuration(s) within the CSI-ReportConfig, otherwise, the list of NZP CSI-RS resources is identical to or has no intersection with a list of NZP CSI-RS resources configured for any other sub-configuration(s) within the CSI-ReportConfig.

-   If a sub-configuration is configured with a list of NZP CSI-RS resources with more than one resource, the UE shall derive the CSI parameters other than CRI conditioned on the reported CRI, where the CRI k (k ≥ 0) for the sub-configuration corresponds to the configured (k+1)-th entry of associated NZP-CSI-RS-Resource in the list of NZP CSI-RS resources.

-   If a sub-configurations is not configured with [nzp-CSI-RS-resourceList] then the sub-configuration shall be associated with all the NZP CSI-RS resources within a NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet contained in the CSI-ResourceConfig for channel measurement which corresponds to the CSI-ReportConfig.

-   the UE reports CSI(s) for one or more sub-configurations according to Clauses 5.2.1.5.1, 5.2.1.5.2, 5.2.3 and 5.2.4, and according to the higher layer parameter reportQuantity configured for that CSI-ReportConfig.

-   The UE does not expect the higher layer parameter reportQuantity to be set to 'cri-RSRP', 'cri-SINR', 'cri-SINR- Index', 'cri-RSRP-Index', 'none', 'ssb-Index-RSRP', 'ssb-Index-SINR', 'ssb-Index-RSRP- Index', 'ssb-Index-SINR- Index', or 'tdcp'.

·       Reasons for change: Unclear UE behaviour if a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK and CSI/SR overlaps with non-active period of cell DRX. Unclear UE behaviour if a PUSCH with HARQ-ACK overlaps with non-active period of cell DRX if the PUSCH is not associated with a corresponding PDCCH.

·       Summary of change: UE drops the PUCCH without HARQ-ACK and drops the PUSCH without a corresponding PDCCH if HARQ-ACK is not multiplexed in the PUSCH if cell DRX is activated for a serving cell and the PUCCH or the PUSCH overlaps with the non-active period of the serving cell, respectively.

·       Consequences if not adopted: Incomplete specification.

9                UE procedure for reporting control information

*** Unchanged Text Omitted ***

When a UE determines overlapping for PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmissions of the same priority index other than PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reports before considering limitations for UE transmission due to cell DRX operation [11, TS 38.321] or as described in clauses 11.1, 11.1.1, 11.2A, 15 and 17.2 including repetitions if any,

-      first, the UE resolves the overlapping for PUCCHs with repetitions as described in clause 9.2.6, if any

-      second, the UE resolves the overlapping for PUCCHs without repetitions as described in clauses 9.2.5

-      third, the UE resolves the overlapping for PUSCHs and PUCCHs with repetitions as described in clause 9.2.6

-      fourth, the UE resolves the overlapping for PUSCHs and PUCCHs without repetitions as is subsequently described in this clause.

After resolving the overlapping for PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmissions and if cell DRX is activated for a serving cell and a PUCCH or PUSCH overlaps with the non-active period of cell DRX of the serving cell, the UE drops the PUCCH, if HARQ-ACK is not multiplexed in the PUCCH, or drops the PUSCH, if HARQ-ACK is not multiplexed in the PUSCH and the PUSCH is without a corresponding PDCCH, respectively.

 

If a UE

-      is provided simultaneousPUCCH-PUSCH and would transmit a PUCCH with a first priority index and PUSCHs with a second priority index that is different than the first priority index, where the PUCCH and the PUSCHs overlap in time on different respective cells

-      can simultaneously transmit the PUCCH and the PUSCHs with different priority indexes [18, TS 38.306],

the UE excludes the PUSCHs for resolving the time overlapping between the PUCCH and PUSCHs with different priority indexes, where the timeline conditions for resolving the overlapping PUCCH and PUSCHs are not required for the excluded PUSCHs.

Agreement

 

Agreement

Send LS to RAN2 to ask to capture the following RAN1 agreement and any additional RAN1 agreement regarding handling of repetition of PUCCH, PUSCH, and SPS PDSCH into RAN2 specification.

Agreement

UE transmits a subset of the repetitions in a CG bundle that do not overlap with the cell DRX non-active period
