R1-2007423        Summary#2 of efficient SCell activation/de-activation mechanism of NR CA               Moderator (Huawei)

Working Assumption:

At least for the case of known cell, temporary RS is supported to expedite the activation process during the SCell activation procedure for efficient SCell activation for both FR1 and FR2:

·        The temporary RS should provide at least the functionalities of AGC settling and time/frequency tracking during SCell activation procedure.

·        FFS potential functionalities of CSI measurement/acquisition and cell search

Agreements:

TRS is selected as temporary RS for Scell activation

·        If more functionalities are confirmed to be supported by temporary RS, other RS candidates, e.g. aperiodic CSI-RS, P/SP-CSI RS, SRS and RS based on SSS/PSS, are not precluded.

·        The TRS should be triggered by DCI or MAC-CE. FFS which exact triggering command.

Agreements:

UEs measure the triggered temporary RS during Scell activation procedure no earlier than a slot m:

·        FFS timeline values m which may need coordination with RAN4.

·        FFS if the triggered temporary RS can be associated with a BWP, then the measurement above is independent of the activation state of the BWP.

Agreements:

Companies are encouraged to provide design details of temporary RS next meeting, at least including:

·        TRS structure, e.g. whether to fully reuse existing Rel-15/16 TRS structure and configuration restriction (refer to S5.1.6.1.1 of TS 38.214), or any modification

·        QCL information, if any

·        Triggering command: DCI format/fields or MAC-CE fields

·        Triggering timeline/scheduling offset

8.13.1     Cross-carrier scheduling (from Scell to Pcell)

R1-2009046        Cross-carrier scheduling from SCell to Pcell           Nokia, Nokia Shanghai Bell

On Search Space monitoring:

Proposal 1: When the PCell is configured to be cross-carrier scheduled by an SCell, the UE monitors the cross-carrier scheduling PDCCH at least in the USS of the scheduling SCell.

·        FFS monitoring USS also on Pcell

Proposal 2: When the PCell is configured to be cross-carrier scheduled by an SCell, the UE can be configured to monitor the CSS type 3 for power control either in the PCell or in the SCell.

Proposal 3: Configuration of TYPE0/0A/1/2 CSS on the SCell is not allowed.

Proposal 4: BD/CCE limits are counted over both scheduling cells (PCell and SCell) and determined for scheduled PCell according to current specifications.

·        if scheduling PCell and SCell are of different SCS, the higher SCS is used for determination of scheduled cell BD/CCE limits, and

·        overbooking is allowed

Proposal 5: To support SCell to PCell fallback also for non-fall-back DCI formats, support USS on both self-scheduling the PCell and on the X-scheduling SCell of a scheduled Pcell. R16 SS group switching feature may be used to dynamically share PDCCH monitoring candidates between Pcell and Scell.

On DCI formats:

Observation 1: As the DCI formats 0_0/1_0 do not carry the CIF field, there is no need to monitor them in the scheduling SCell for cross-carrier scheduling.

Poposal 6: No changes are introduced to the DCI format 0_0/1_0 monitoring, i.e. they are monitorired for self-scheduling in PCell in CSS and USS, and for self-scheduling in the SCell in the USS.

Proposal 7: The rules for DCI format relation to search spaces are not modified.

On the location of the uplink channels:

Proposal 8: The requirement to have the PCell configured with the PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS for non-CA case are not modified

Proposal 9: The requirement to have the PCell configured with the PUCCH for CA case with single PUCCH group is not modified

Decision: The document is noted.

[103-e-NR-DSS-01] – Ravi (Ericsson)

Email discussion/approval for CCS

R1-2009486        Summary of Email discussion [103-e-NR-DSS-01] Moderator (Ericsson)

Decision from GTW sessions,

Agreements:

·         When CCS from an SCell (sSCell) to PCell/PSCell is configured, UE monitors Type 0/0A/1/2 CSS sets (for the DCI formats associated with those SS sets) only on the PCell/PSCell and not on the sSCell

o   Note: UE monitors Type 0/0A/2 CSS only on PCell while Type 1 CSS can be monitored on PCell/PSCell

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Nov.12th,

Conclusion

·         When CCS from sSCell to PCell/PSCell is configured, the configuration of Type 3 CSS set for DCI formats 2_0, 2_1, 2_2, 2_3, 2_4 and applicability of the information in the DCI formats are the same as in Rel-15/Rel-16

o   FFS: DCI format 2_5 and DCI Format 2_6 handling

·         Note: The SCell configured with CCS to Pcell/PSCell is referred to as ‘sSCell’

Conclusion

·         When the PCell/PSCell and sSCell use different numerologies, the PDSCH reception preparation time between the PDCCH on the sSCell and the PDSCH on the PCell/PSCell is applied (i.e., as specified in TS38.214 Section 5.5).

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Nov.13th,

Agreements:

·         Discuss in RAN1#104-e how to handle ‘DCI formats 0_1,1_1,0_2,1_2 scheduling PDSCH/PUSCH on PCell/PSCell’ from USS set(s), when CCS from sSCell to PCell/PSCell is configured.. Below alternatives can be considered in the discussion (other alternatives are not precluded)

·         Below alternatives can be considered in the discussion (other alternatives are not precluded)

o   Alt 1: When CCS from sSCell to PCell/PSCell is configured, UE cannot be configured to monitor DCI formats 0_1,1_1,0_2,1_2 on PCell/PSCell USS set(s), and can be configured to monitor them only on the sSCell USS set(s)

o   Alt 2: When CCS from sSCell to PCell/PSCell is configured, UE can be configured to monitor DCI formats 0_1/1_1/0_2/1_2 on PCell/PSCell USS set(s), and/or on sSCell USS set(s). The PDCCH monitoring is based on following alternatives (other alternatives are not precluded)

§  Alt 2-1:

·        UE can monitor DCI formats 0_1,1_1,0_2,1_2 on both PCell USS set(s) and sSCell USS sets simultaneously

o   FFS activation/deactivation of scheduling from sSCell to PCell/PSCell

§  Alt 2-2:

·        Dynamic switching of PDCCH monitoring of DCI formats 0_1,1_1,0_2,1_2 between monitoring on PCell/PSCell USS sets and monitoring on sSCell USS sets is supported

o   FFS: Details of switching mechanism (e.g. based on SS group switching, based on BWP switching,…)

·        UE does not monitor DCI formats 0_1,1_1,0_2,1_2 on both PCell USS set(s) and sSCell USS sets simultaneously

§  Alt 2-3:

·        UE does not monitor the same DCI format on both PCell USS set(s) and sSCell USS sets simultaneously. UE can monitor some DCI formats on sSCell USS sets and other DCI formats on PCell/PSCell USS sets simultaneously

§  Alt 2-4:

·        The USS set(s) on PSCell/PCell and the USS set(s) on sSCell are configured such that UE does not monitor DCI formats 0_1,1_1,0_2,1_2 on both PCell USS set(s) and sSCell USS set(s) simultaneously

·         FFS following aspects

o   Impact of sSCell activation/deactivation and sSCell dormancy

o   Impact on BD/CCE limit handling including considering PDCCH monitoring on CSS sets and PDCCH monitoring of ‘DCI formats 0_0, 1_0 scheduling PUSCH/PDSCH on PCell/PSCell’

o   Whether PDCCH overbooking on sSCell is supported or not supported and impact (if any) on overbooking handling on PCell/PSCell

o   Impact from different numerologies between PDCCH on the PCell/PSCell and that on the sSCell

o   Whether or not to have mechanism for activation/deactivation of scheduling from sSCell to PCell/PSCell

o   USS configuration details (e.g. handling of USS type (self-scheduling, cross carrier scheduling) for a configured USS set configured for scheduling of in PCell/PSCell)

R1-2008832        Discussion on Support Efficient Activation De-activation Mechanism for SCells in NR CA             ZTE

Reference signal design

·        Proposal 1:

o   Reuse the existing Rel-15/Rel-16 TRS structure for temporary RS.

o   Send LS to RAN4 to check whether the current two TRS patterns (i.e., 1-slot with two TRSs resources and 2-slot with four TRSs resources) are sufficient for AGC settling and time/frequency tracking during SCell activation.

§  If Yes, then A-TRS is adopted as the temporary RS.

§  If Not, then P-TRS/SP-TRS is adopted as the temporary RS.

·        Proposal 2: RAN1 further discusses whether to adopt TRS or CSI-RS for channel measurement/acquisition during SCell activation.

Triggering command for temporary RS

·        Proposal 3: RAN1 further discusses and compares the following options for SCell activation

o   Option1: One MAC-CE to activate SCell(s) and another MAC-CE to trigger/activate the temporary RS(s);

o   Option2: A combined MAC-CE to activate SCell(s) and trigger/activate the temporary RS(s);

o   Option3: One MAC-CE to activate SCell(s) and one DCI to trigger/activate the temporary RS(s);

o   Option4: One combined DCI to activate SCell(s) and trigger/activate the temporary RS(s).

·        Proposal 4: A combined command is used to activate the SCell and activate/trigger the corresponding TRS. Further study whether this combined command is also used to trigger the CSI-RS for channel measurement.

·        Proposal 5: In order to determine whether to adopt the DCI based solution or MAC-CE based solution, RAN1 first finalizes both the DCI based solution and MAC-CE based solution and then compare these different solutions, considering the activation latency, power consumption and etc.

·        Proposal 6: Regarding MAC-CE based solution for fast SCell activation

o   HARQ-ACK feedback is needed for this MAC-CE

o   Target SCell ID is included in the MAC-CE

o   TRS triggering information (e.g., trigger state ID) is included in the MAC-CE

·        Proposal 7: Regarding DCI based solution for fast SCell activation

o   TRS trigger state ID is included in the DCI

o   Further study how to indicate the target SCell ID, e.g., add new DCI field or reuse the SCell dormancy indicator

o   Futher study whether DL DCI or UL DCI is adopted

o   Further study how to trigger HARQ-ACK for UL DCI (if UL DCI is selected)

Timeline

·        Proposal 8: Regarding temporary RS for SCell activation,

o   The duration between SCell activation command and reference signal for AGC settling and time/frequency tracking should be sufficient for L1/L2 signaling processing, RF warm-up and BWP activation.

o   The reference signal for channel measurement is transmitted later than the reference signal for AGC settling and time/frequency tracking.

Working Assumption

For efficient SCell activation with assistance of temporary RS, a SSB of the to-be-activated SCell can be indicated as a QCL source for the temporary RS in case of known SCell

·        FFS: QCL type

·        FFS: the case of unknown SCell

·        FFS: other QCL source, e.g. the SSB/P-TRS of another active cell

Agreement

For efficient activation of SCells, down select at least one option from below:

·        Option 1a: MAC CE(s) contained in a single PDSCH to trigger both SCell activation and corresponding temporary RS(s)

o   Details FFS including timeline design for receiving temporary RS

·        Option 1b: A single DCI to trigger both SCell activation and corresponding temporary RS(s)

o   Details FFS including potential impact on SCell activation related procedures and, e.g. timeline design for SCell activation and for receiving temporary RS

o   FFS: The same DCI for SCell deactivation

·        Option 2: A Rel-15/16 SCell activation MAC-CE to trigger SCell activation and a Rel-15/16 DCI to trigger corresponding temporary RS(s) with enhancement of timeline

o   Details FFS including timeline design for receiving a DCI trigger of temporary RS, and for receiving temporary RS

R1-2102544        Discussion on Scell scheduling Pcell           vivo

·        Proposal 1: Reuse cross-carrier scheduling framework in NR Rel-15 as well as the search space linkage rule to enable Scell scheduling P(S)cell.

·        Proposal 2: Indication of ‘other’ in schedulingCellInfo for a P(S)Cell means that the P(S)Cell could be scheduled by itself and another Scell jointly.

·        Proposal 3: Dynamic activation/deactivation of scheduling from S-SCell to PCell/PSCell with additional signaling is not supported.

·        Proposal 4:  Regarding BD/CE budget associated with P(S)cell, the following three options can be considered:

o   Option1. a predefined BD/CE budget (B1) that concerns P(S)cell self-scheduling only and another predefined BD/CE budget (B2) that concerns S-Scell scheduling P(S)cell only

o   Option2. a predefined total BD/CE budget (B3) that concerns P(S)cell self-scheduling and CCS from S-Scell to P(S)cell,  and a semi-static BD/CE budget (B1) for P(S)cell self-scheduling only and another semi-static BD/CE budget (B2) for S-Scell scheduling P(S)cell only, whereas B1 and/or B2 are derived based on Search space configuration. Specifically, there are two alternatives:

§  Alt.2-1. B1 is the maximum number of PDCCH candidates/CCE to be monitored for CSS(s) on a slot/span on P(S)cell, and B2=B3-B1.

§  Alt.2-2. B2 is the maximum number of PDCCH candidates/CCEs to be monitored for CCS from S-Scell to P(S)cell on a slot/span, and B1=B3-B2.

o   Option3. a predefined total BD/CE budget (B3) that concerns P(S)cell self-scheduling and CCS from S-Scell to P(S)cell.

·        Proposal 5:  Regarding overbooking handling, the following two options can be considered:

o   Option1. The overbooking process for P(S)cell considerPDCCH candidate/CCE for P(S)cell self-scheduling only

o   Option2. The overbooking process for P(S)cell consider PDCCH candidate/CCE for both P(S)cell self-scheduling and PDCCH candidate/CCE for S-Scell scheduling P(S)cell

·        Proposal 6:  As a mandatory capability when S-Scellll scheduling Pcell is configured,

o   UE supports to be configured to monitor DCI formats 0_1/1_1/0_2/1_2 that schedule PDSCH/PUSCH on PCell/PSCell on PCell/PSCell USS set(s), and/or on S-Scell USS set(s) (i.e. Alt 2.1);

o   UE monitors PDCCH for scheduling Pcell by separate semi-static BD/CCE budget on Pcell and S-Scell (i.e. option 1 and option 2 in Section 2.2);

o   UE supports overbooking of Pcell CSS and Pcell USS for scheduling Pcell.

·        Proposal 7: Applicability of DCI 2_5 is the same as in Rel-16, while support DCI 2_6 extension to S-Scell when CCS from S-Scell to P(S)Cell is configured.

·        Proposal 8: The monitoring behavior of DCI 0_0/1_0 in USS of P(S)Cell is aligned with that of DCI 0_1/1_1 in USS of P(S)Cell.

·        Proposal 9: Whether and how to support S-Scell dormancy should be studied.

·        Proposal 10: Whether to allow dormancy indication in S-Scell when it is configured to schedule P(S)cell should be discussed.

Agreement

For efficient activation of Scells, the triggered temporary RS is aperiodic.

 

Agreement

For efficient activation of a Scell (in known Scell case), at least the number of temporary RS bursts is indicated by a field in new MAC-CE

·        The number of temporary RS bursts is RRC configurable.

·        FFS: which field in MAC-CE is used and how this field is associated with the number of bursts

·        For the purpose of designing temporary RS Scell activation, there is no RAN1 specification impact for the case where the number of indicated temporary RS bursts is smaller than what is expected by the UE

 

R1-2106148        Summary#2 of efficient SCell activation/de-activation mechanism of NR CA               Moderator (Huawei)

From GTW session:

·        Whether or not temporary RS is triggered

·        FFS detailed Information of temporary RS, e.g.:

o   Resources used for triggered Temporary RS

o   Triggering time offset of triggered Temporary RS

o   QCL source for triggered Temporary RS

·        FFS: Detailed signalling structure of the triggering MAC-CE(s) including the down-selection between the following example options and whether the decision should be made in RAN1 or RAN2

o   Opt. 1.1: One new MAC CE for both SCell activation triggering and corresponding temporary RS triggering

o   Opt. 1.2: One R15/16 SCell activation MAC CE for SCell activation triggering and one new MAC CE (in the same PDSCH) for corresponding temporary RS triggering

 

Agreement

For efficient activation of a Scell (in known Scell case), the triggering offset of temporary RS is indicated by a field in new MAC-CE

·        The candidate value(s) of triggering offset(s) is RRC configurable

·        FFS: which field in MAC-CE is used and how this field is associated with the value of triggering offset

Agreement

For the reference slot for triggering offset of temporary RS

·        Option 2: the last DL slot of the to-be-activated Scell overlapping with slot n+k as defined in 38.213 sub-clause 4.3

·        FFS: the earliest slot no earlier than the reference slot for a UE to receive a triggered temporary RS

Agreement

If a UE measures a temporary RS triggered by a MAC-CE during SCell activation procedure, the measurement is performed within the BWP bandwidth of BWP indicated by firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id

10.8 Cross Carrier Scheduling

Cross-carrier scheduling with the Carrier Indicator Field (CIF) allows the PDCCH of a serving cell to schedule resources on another serving cell but with the following restrictions:

-       Cross-carrier scheduling does not apply to Pcell i.e. When cross-carrier scheduling from an SCell to Pcell is not configured, Pcell can only be is always scheduled via its PDCCH;

-       When cross-carrier scheduling from an SCell to Pcell is configured, PDCCH on that SCell can schedule Pcell’s PDSCH and PUSCH, and PDCCH on the Pcell can also schedule Pcell’s PDSCH and PUSCH, and PDCCH on Pcell cannot schedule PDSCH and PUSCH on any other cell. Only one SCell can be configured to be used for cross-carrier scheduling to Pcell;

-       When an SCell is configured with a PDCCH, that cell’s PDSCH and PUSCH are always scheduled by the PDCCH on this SCell;

-       When an SCell is not configured with a PDCCH, that SCell’s PDSCH and PUSCH are always scheduled by a PDCCH on another serving cell;

-       The scheduling PDCCH and the scheduled PDSCH/PUSCH can use the same or different numerologies.

R1-2108318        Summary#2 of efficient SCell activation/de-activation mechanism of NR CA               Moderator (Huawei)

From GTW session:

Agreement

For efficient SCell activation, the earliest slot for a UE to receive a triggered temporary RS is the reference slot (i.e., the last DL slot of the to-be-activated Scell overlapping with slot n+k as defined in 38.213 sub-clause 4.3).

 

Conclusion

For the purpose of designing temporary RS for Scell activation, RAN1 will not discuss for the case where a gNB may assume the to-be-activated SCell with assistance of temporary RS is a known SCell for a UE but it is actually unknown SCell from the UE side during the SCell activation duration.

 

Agreement

For to-be-activated SCell, if any BWP ID is configured as part of temporary RS(s) configuration, the value of the BWP ID is expected to be equal to firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id;

·        The following information can be provided by RRC for temporary RS for each SCell

o   The number of RS bursts and the gap length between the RS bursts (Opt 2.3.3)

o   Triggering offset of temporary RS (Opt 2.3.4)

§  Triggering offset can be provided, e.g., by reusing existing CSI-RS framework

o   QCL information (Opt 2.3.5)

§  Triggering QCL information can be provided, e.g., by reusing existing CSI-RS framework

o   A unique temporary RS configuration index

o   FFS: the maximum number of temporary RS per cell/per UE

Note: Reusing A-TRS triggering framework is not precluded.

·        Information for 0, 1, or more temporary RS can be provided for each configured SCell

 

Agreement

·        For triggering temporary RS, down-select based on the following alternatives, or let RAN2 be aware the status of this discussion

o   Alt 1: Bitmap approach in MAC-CE similar to SCell activation

§  Every Z-bit block in the bitmap corresponds to a SCell, Z>=0

§  A Z-bit block indicates the temporary RS [configuration index], and a value zero indicated by the bit block means no RS resource transmitted.

§  The to-be-activated SCell is indicated via the C values in the legacy SCell activation/de-activation MAC CE or in the new MAC-CE

o   Alt 2: Reuse A-TRS triggering framework

§  A trigger state is indicated by the MAC-CE explicitly

§  The association between a trigger state and aperiodic temporary RS for one or multiple SCells is configured by RRC according Rel-16 A-TRS triggering framework

·        SCell ID is configured as a part of the temporary RS configuration. Some SCell IDs derived from the trigger state triggered by the new MAC-CE may not refer to to-be-activated SCells that are indicated by the new MAC-CE or the legacy SCell activation/de-activation MAC-CE

§  FFS: The value zero of the MAC-CE indication means no temporary RS is triggered by the MAC-CE for all to-be-activated SCells

o   Note: The down-selection targets at a RAN1 consensus on MAC-CE functionality and the list of RRC parameters for this feature. Any MAC-CE signaling design above are reference concept, its final MAC-CE signaling design is up to RAN2.

From Oct 12th GTW session

Discussion Point

·        Companies are encouraged to provide their view on the following on how to proceed for Type A UE

o   Possible Approach 1

§  All UEs (supporting cross-carrier scheduling from SCell to PCell) can simultaneously monitor ‘USS sets (for P(S)Cell scheduling) on sSCell’ and ‘Type 0/0A/1/2/CSS sets on P(S)Cell at least for broadcast DCI formats’

§  BD/CCE limits for Type B UEs are applicable for all UEs

§  Separate UE capability/incapability is introduced to indicate support/no support of simultaneous monitoring of ‘USS sets (for P(S)Cell scheduling) on sSCell’ and ‘Type 0/0A/1/2/CSS sets on P(S)Cell for unicast DCI formats’

o   Possible Approach 2

§  All UEs (supporting cross-carrier scheduling from SCell to PCell) can be configured with Type 0/0A/1/2/CSS sets on P(S)Cell that overlap with sSCell USS sets (for P(S)Cell scheduling)

§  Type A UEs drop the USS set(s) on sSCell (for P(S)Cell scheduling) that overlap in same [symbol/slot] as Type 0/0A/1/2/CSS sets on P(S)Cell

·        Separate UE capability is introduced for the Type A UEs

§  BD/CCE limit for Type A UE is based on one of the following approaches

·        Option B (discussed earlier for Type B UEs)

·        Option D

o   In a slot, if the PDCCH candidates are only configured on P(S)Cell, the BD/CCE limit on this slot is determined based on the P(S)Cell configurations

o   In a slot, if the PDCCH candidates are configured only on sSCell, the BD/CCE limit on this slot is determined based on the sSCell configurations

o   The limit of Rel-16 UE capability is applied without further restrictions

·        Option E

o       No per-slot change in  and

o   Discuss further the following (this related to “…DCI formats 0_1,1_1,0_2,1_2 (if supported for Type A UE)..” part in RAN1#105e agreement and the WA from RAN1#104-e)

§  For Possible Approach 1

·        Whether UEs not supporting simultaneous monitoring of ‘Type 0/0A/1/2/CSS sets on P(S)Cell for unicast DCIs’ and ‘USS sets (for P(S)Cell scheduling) on sSCell’ support monitoring of non-fallback USS on P(S)Cell when configured for SCell to P(S)cell scheduling

§  For Possible Approach 2

·        Whether Type A UEs support monitoring of non-fallback USS on P(S)Cell when configured for SCell to P(S)cell scheduling

o   Note

§  ‘broadcast DCI formats’ implies DCI format(s) on Type 0/0A/1/2/CSS with CRC not scrambled by C-RNTI/MCS-C-RNTI/CS-RNTI 

§  ‘unicast DCI formats’ implies DCI format(s) on Type 0/0A/1/2/CSS with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI/MCS-C-RNTI/CS-RNTI

R1-2110557        Summary#3 of Email discussion [106bis-e-NR-DSS-01]       Moderator (Ericsson)

From Oct 18th GTW session

Agreement

Option A is supported in Rel-17

§  On P(S)Cell (for self-scheduling)

·      UE is not required to monitor more than  PDCCH BD candidates per P(S)Cell slot

§  On sSCell (for cross-carrier scheduling to P(S)Cell)

·        UE is not required to monitor more than [ or ] PDCCH BD candidates per sSCell slot

·      UE is additionally not required to monitor more than  PDCCH BD candidates per P(S)Cell slot

§        is based on RRC configuration

§        is used for P(S)Cell overbooking procedure

§        When determining  and  

·        P(S)Cell self-scheduling is counted by applying scaling factor s1

·        sSCell to P(S)Cell scheduling is counted additionally (assuming SCS of sSCell) by applying scaling factor s2

·        s1=1 and s2=0, FFS other s1 and s2

·        and  are based on RRC configuration

·       When P(S)Cell SCS () is larger than sSCell SCS (), for CCS from sSCell to P(S)Cell and, it is not supported Rel-17 DSS.

 

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Oct 20th,

Conclusion

·        When sSCell to PCell cross-carrier scheduling is configured, DCI format 2_6 (if configured) is monitored only on P(S)Cell

Working Assumption

·        When CIF for sSCell to PCell cross-carrier scheduling is configured, non-fallback DCI formats on P(S)Cell include same number of CIF bits as the corresponding non-fallback DCI formats on sSCell that are used for sSCell to P(S)Cell scheduling

Conclusion

·        A UE configured for cross-carrier scheduling from SCell to P(S)Cell can also be configured with unaligned CA (i.e., using ca-SlotOffset ), and a non-zero value for ca-SlotOffset can be configured at least for SCells other than the sSCell

o   FFS: Whether case when sSCell is configured with non-zero ca-SlotOffset is supported and any associated capability signalling

·        Note: No additional L1 spec impact related to ca-SlotOffset had been identified

Conclusion

·        When CCS from sSCell to P(S)Cell is configured for a UE

o   monitoringSlotPeriodicityAndOffset, monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot, duration for the PDCCH monitoring candidates monitored on sSCell as determined per Rel16 SS linking approach

From Nov 11th GTW session

Proposal

No additional capability of type A UE

Down-select from following approaches for PDCCH monitoring and BD limit handling for Type A UE

·        Possible Approach 1

o   BD/CCE limits for Type B UEs are applicable for all UEs supporting cross-carrier scheduling from sSCell to P(S)Cell

o   Additional simplifications to PDCCH monitoring can be discussed during UE capabilities discussions including the following

§  Type A UE As per RAN1#105-e agreement and

·        simultaneous monitoring of ‘USS sets (for P(S)Cell scheduling) on sSCell’ and ‘Type 0/0A/1/2/CSS sets on P(S)Cell’

·        simultaneous monitoring of ‘USS sets (for P(S)Cell scheduling) on sSCell’ and ‘Type 0/0A/1/2/CSS sets on P(S)Cell for DCI formats with CRC not scrambled by C-RNTI/MCS-C-RNTI/CS-RNTI’

·        Possible Approach 2

o   All UEs (supporting cross-carrier scheduling from SCell to Pcell) can be configured with Type 0/0A/1/2/CSS sets on P(S)Cell that overlap with sSCell USS sets (for P(S)Cell scheduling)

o   Type A UEs drop the USS set(s) on sSCell (for P(S)Cell scheduling) that overlap in same [symbol/slot] as Type 0/0A/1/2/CSS sets on P(S)Cell

§  Separate UE capability is introduced for the Type A UEs

o   BD/CCE limit for Type A UE is based on one of the following approaches (selected in RAN1#107-e)

§  Option B (discussed earlier for Type B UEs)

§  Option D

·        In a slot, if the PDCCH candidates are only configured on P(S)Cell, the BD/CCE limit on this slot is determined based on the P(S)Cell configurations

·        In a slot, if the PDCCH candidates are configured only on sSCell, the BD/CCE limit on this slot is determined based on the sSCell configurations

·        The limit of Rel-16 UE capability is applied without further restrictions

§  Option E

·            No per-slot change in  and

If no additional set of (s1, s2) is introduced,

·        For Option A BD/CCE limit handling and (s1=1, s2=0) agreed in RAN1#106bis-e,

o   On sSCell (for cross-carrier scheduling to P(S)Cell)

§        UE is not required to monitor more than  PDCCH BD candidates per sSCell slot

Agreement

BD/CCE limits for Type B UEs are applicable for Type A UEs supporting cross-carrier scheduling from sSCell to P(S)Cell.

·        Note: per RAN1#102-e agreement, when sSCell to P(S)Cell scheduling is configured for the UE, cross-carrier scheduling from P(S)Cell to another cell is not allowed. The CIF bits included in non-fallback DCI formats on P(S)Cell are considered reserved.

 

Agreement

When CCS from sSCell to P(S)Cell is configured for the UE,

·        Multiple CORESET pools are not configured for PDCCH monitoring on P(S)Cell and not configured for PDCCH monitoring on sSCell;

Decision: As per email decision posted on Nov 19th,

Agreement

When CCS from sSCell to P(S)Cell is configured for the UE,

R1-2112605        Summary#1 of efficient SCell activation/de-activation mechanism of NR CA               Moderator (Huawei)

From Nov 15th GTW session

Agreement

The max number of NZP CSI-RS resource set configurations for temporary RS per serving cell is the same as current maxNrofNZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSetsPerConfig.

 

Agreement

For efficient SCell activation with assistance of temporary RS, a SSB P-TRS of the to-be-activated SCell is to be configured as a QCL source for the temporary RS in case of known SCell same as existing specification.

·        Note: a SSB of the to-be-activated SCell is a QCL source for the P-TRS per existing specification

·        Note: It is RAN1 understanding that Scell activation latency can be reduced compared to Rel-16 even when P-TRS is configured as QCL source for the temporary RS in case of known SCell

Below Working Assumption does not need to be confirmed.

Working Assumption

For efficient SCell activation with assistance of temporary RS, a SSB of the to-be-activated SCell can be indicated as a QCL source for the temporary RS in case of known SCell

·        FFS: QCL type

·        FFS: the case of unknown SCell

·        FFS: other QCL source, e.g. the SSB/P-TRS of another active cell

 

Agreement(for reference during the discussion)

·        For triggering temporary RS, down-select based on the following alternatives, or let RAN2 be aware the status of this discussion

o   Alt 1: Bitmap approach in MAC-CE similar to SCell activation

§  Every Z-bit block in the bitmap corresponds to a SCell, Z>=0

§  A Z-bit block indicates the temporary RS [configuration index], and a value zero indicated by the bit block means no RS resource transmitted.

§  The to-be-activated SCell is indicated via the C values in the legacy SCell activation/de-activation MAC CE or in the new MAC-CE

o   Alt 2: Reuse A-TRS triggering framework

§  A trigger state is indicated by the MAC-CE explicitly

§  The association between a trigger state and aperiodic temporary RS for one or multiple SCells is configured by RRC according Rel-16 A-TRS triggering framework

·        SCell ID is configured as a part of the temporary RS configuration. Some SCell IDs derived from the trigger state triggered by the new MAC-CE may not refer to to-be-activated SCells that are indicated by the new MAC-CE or the legacy SCell activation/de-activation MAC-CE

§  FFS: The value zero of the MAC-CE indication means no temporary RS is triggered by the MAC-CE for all to-be-activated SCells

o   Note: The down-selection targets at a RAN1 consensus on MAC-CE functionality and the list of RRC parameters for this feature. Any MAC-CE signaling design above are reference concept, its final MAC-CE signaling design is up to RAN2.

 

 

R1-2112606        Summary#2 of efficient SCell activation/de-activation mechanism of NR CA               Moderator (Huawei)

From Nov 19th GTW session

Agreement

For both Alt 1 and Alt 2 of temporary RS triggering,

·        For Alt 1, the gap between temporary RS bursts is explicitly configured.

o   A set of possible gap lengths from which the triggering MAC-CE can indicate one from RAN1 perspective. Up to RAN2 to decide details.

·        For Alt 2, a gap length is configured by RRC for each temporary RS having two bursts. For different temporary RS, the value of the gap length can be different based on RRC configuration.

·        the number of bursts is up to 2. It can be either explicitly configured, or implicitly indicated by the gap configuration (up to RAN2 to decide one)

Agreement

For Alt 2 of temporary RS triggering, to avoid potential impact on the existing CSI-AperiodicTriggerStateList, a separate trigger-state list is used.

·        Note: it does not imply that Alt 2 has been selected by RAN2.

Agreement

For the RRC and MAC-CE designs of temporary RS triggering (both Alt1 and Alt2), from functionality perspective, the max number of to-be-activated SCells should be 15, irrespective of triggered number of temporary RS bursts per cell.

·        Note: UE capability for the max number of to-be-activated SCells with 2-burst temporary RS is not precluded.

R1-2202602        Summary#1 of Email discussion [108-e-NR-DSS-01]            Moderator (Ericsson)

From Feb 22nd GTW session

Agreement

·       (RRC parameter PCell-CCSscaling in RAN1 specs) is configured from below value set

o   {1/7, 3/14, 2/7, 3/7, 1/2, 5/7, [reserved1], [reserved2]}

Conclusion

For a UE configured with cross-carrier scheduling from a sSCell to Pcell/PSCell, enableDefaultBeamForCCS can be configured in CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig in the Pcell/PSCell, which configures default beam determination for a PDSCH on the Pcell/PSCell scheduled by a PDCCH on the sSCell.

 

Agreement

·        When UE is configured for CCS from sSCell to P(S)SCell, and if SS set (x_p) of P(S)Cell and SS set (x_s) of sSCell are configured with same searchSpaceId value

o   x_s is used for CCS from sSCell to P(S)Cell (Note: already agreed)

o   x_s can be used for sSCell self-scheduling

o   x_p is not used for P(S)Cell self-scheduling and parameters other than searchSpaceId and nrofCandidates are not configured for that SS set

·        Note: RAN2 spec may need some update, but it depends on RAN2 decision.

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Mar 1st,

Agreement

·        If a DCI format on the P(S)Cell for self-scheduling the P(S)Cell includes X bits and the corresponding DCI format on the sSCell for cross-carrier scheduling the P(S)Cell includes Y bits, |X-Y| bits are padded to the DCI format with the smaller size.

Conclusion

When CCS from sSCell to P(S)Cell is configured, the configuration of Type 3 CSS set for DCI format 2_5 and applicability of the information in the DCI format is same as in Rel-16.

 

Agreement

The following TP to Section 10.1.1 of TS38.213 (Identical to the TP in Annex A of R1-2202221) is endorsed.

----------------------------- start TP1 to 38.213 sub-clause 10.1.1 ---------------------------------

10.1.1      Self-carrier and cross-carrier scheduling on the primary cell

A UE can be configured for scheduling on the primary cell from the primary cell and from a secondary cell [12, TS 38.331].

If , the UE does not count PDCCH candidates and non-overlapping CCEs that the UE monitors for scheduling on the primary cell from the secondary cell towards  and , respectively.

If , the UE counts PDCCH candidates and non-overlapping CCEs that the UE monitors for scheduling on the primary cell from the secondary cell towards  and , respectively.

For allocation of PDCCH candidates and non-overlapping CCEs to search space sets for scheduling on the primary cell from the primary cell, the UE applies the procedure in clause 10.1 using  instead of , and using  instead of  for the primary cell.

Agreement

Confirm the RAN2 understanding in Q1 of the LS R1-2200890 for trs-info.

 

Agreement

Confirm in the reply LS that the following limitations need to be captured in RAN2 spec,

·        CSI-RS can only be configured on a BWP with firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id. (already reflected in draft CR R2-2201714)

·        CSI-RS for tracking for fast SCell activation cannot be one with two NZP CSI-RS resources in one slot. (not correctly reflected in R2-2201714 yet)

Agreement

====================      unchanged parts     ====================

 

Agreement

Inform RAN2 that

·        Regarding TRS for SCell activation, the reference slot in the following excerpt of TS 38.331 (as highlighted below) is not in line with the RAN1 agreement below, which has been captured in S5.2.1.5.3 of TS 38.214.

·        A correction is needed in RAN2 TS 38.331 specification. Whether updating the description or introducing a new RRC parameter name with a link to TS 38.214 is up to RAN2.

TS 38.331 text:

aperiodicTriggeringOffset, aperiodicTriggeringOffset-r16

Offset X between the slot containing the DCI that triggers a set of aperiodic NZP CSI-RS resources and the slot in which the CSI-RS resource set is transmitted. For aperiodicTriggeringOffset, ……. For aperiodicTriggeringOffset-r16, the value indicates the number of slots. The network configures only one of the fields. When neither field is included, the UE applies the value 0.

 

Agreement

For the reference slot for triggering offset of temporary RS

·        Option 2: the last DL slot of the to-be-activated Scell overlapping with slot n+k as defined in 38.213 sub-clause 4.3

·        FFS: the earliest slot no earlier than the reference slot for a UE to receive a triggered temporary RS

Agreement

For efficient SCell activation, the earliest slot for a UE to receive a triggered temporary RS is the reference slot (i.e., the last DL slot of the to-be-activated Scell overlapping with slot n+k as defined in 38.213 sub-clause 4.3).

Note: Once RAN2 confirms the RRC parameter name for the offset, RAN1 may update TS 38.214 to align the RRC parameter name accordingly.

 

Agreement

Endorse the following TP on stage 2 description for Rel-17 efficient SCell activation of NR CA in TS 38.300. (Note: cyan color formatting only to highlight the difference from before and to be removed from final TP)

·        The endorsed TP is sent to RAN2 by a LS

----------------------------------------------- TP start------------------------------------------------

10.6         Activation/Deactivation Mechanism

==== Unchanged parts ====

To enable fast SCell activation when CA is configured, one dormant BWP can be configured for an SCell. If the active BWP of the activated SCell is a dormant BWP, the UE stops monitoring PDCCH and transmitting SRS/PUSCH/PUCCH on the SCell but continues performing CSI measurements, AGC and beam management, if configured. A DCI is used to control entering/leaving the dormant BWP for one or more SCell(s) or one or more SCell group(s).

The dormant BWP is one of the UE’s dedicated BWPs configured by network via dedicated RRC signalling. The SpCell and PUCCH Scell cannot be configured with a dormant BWP.

To enable fast SCell activation when CA is configured, aperiodic CSI-RS for tracking for fast SCell activation can be configured for an SCell to assist AGC and time/frequency synchronization. A MAC CE is used to trigger activation of one or more SCell(s) and trigger the aperiodic CSI-RS for tracking for fast SCell activation for a (set of) deactivated SCell(s).

Decision: As per email decision posted in Oct 11th,  the topics 2,3,4,5,6 (section 2 of R1-2210441) are selected for further discussion.

 

From Oct 12th GTW session

Agreement

·        Adopt below change to 38.213 sub-clause 10.1.1 as part of alignment CR.

Text Box: 10.1.1	Self-carrier and cross-carrier scheduling on the primary cell

A UE can be configured for scheduling on the primary cell from the primary cell and from a secondary cell [12, TS 38.331]. The UE is either not provided monitoringCapabilityConfig for the primary cell or for the secondary cell, or the UE is provided only monitoringCapabilityConfig = r15monitoringcapability for the primary cell and for the secondary cell. The UE is not provided coresetPoolIndex on the primary cell or on the secondary cell.
The SCS configuration μ_P for the active DL BWP on the primary cell is smaller than or equal to the SCS configuration μ_S for the active DL BWP on the secondary cell.
<Unchanged parts are omitted>

 

 

Decision: As per email decision posted in Oct 19th,

Agreement

·        Adopt the TP to TS 38.212 subclause 7.3.1.1.2.

For a UE configured with scheduling on the primary cell from an SCell, if prior to padding the number of information bits in DCI format 0_1 carried by PDCCH on the primary cell is not equal to the number of information bits in DCI format 0_1 carried by PDCCH on the SCell for scheduling on the primary cell, zeros shall be appended to the DCI format 0_1 with smaller size until the payload size is the same.

§  If application of step 4C in clause 7.3.1.0 results in additional zero padding for DCI format 0_1 for scheduling on the primary cell, corresponding zeros shall be appended to both DCI format 0_1 monitored on the primary cell and DCI format 0_1 monitored on the SCell for scheduling on the primary cell.

 

§  If the SCell is deactivated and firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id is not set to dormant BWP, the UE determines the number of information bits in DCI format 0_1 carried by PDCCH on the primary cell based on a DL BWP provided by firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id for the SCell. If the active DL BWP of the SCell is a dormant DL BWP, or if the SCell is deactivated and firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id is set to dormant BWP, the UE determines the number of information bits in DCI format 0_1 carried by PDCCH on the primary cell based on a DL BWP provided by firstWithinActiveTimeBWP-Id for the SCell if provided; otherwise, based on a DL BWP provided by firstOutsideActiveTimeBWP-Id for the SCell.

 

Agreement

·        Adopt the TP to TS 38.212 subclause 7.3.1.1.3.

For a UE configured with scheduling on the primary cell from an SCell, if prior to padding the number of information bits in DCI format 0_2 carried by PDCCH on the primary cell is not equal to the number of information bits in DCI format 0_2 carried by PDCCH on the SCell for scheduling on the primary cell, zeros shall be appended to the DCI format 0_2 with smaller size until the payload size is the same.

§  If application of step 4B in clause 7.3.1.0 results in additional zero padding for DCI format 0_2 for scheduling on the primary cell, corresponding zeros shall be appended to both DCI format 0_2 monitored on the primary cell and DCI format 0_2 monitored on the SCell for scheduling on the primary cell.

 

§  If the SCell is deactivated and firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id is not set to dormant BWP, the UE determines the number of information bits in DCI format 0_2 carried by PDCCH on the primary cell based on a DL BWP provided by firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id for the SCell. If the active DL BWP of the SCell is a dormant DL BWP, or if the SCell is deactivated and firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id is set to dormant BWP, the UE determines the number of information bits in DCI format 0_2 carried by PDCCH on the primary cell based on a DL BWP provided by firstWithinActiveTimeBWP-Id for the SCell if provided; otherwise, based on a DL BWP provided by firstOutsideActiveTimeBWP-Id for the SCell.

 

Agreement

·        Adopt the TP to TS 38.212 subclause 7.3.1.2.2.

For a UE configured with scheduling on the primary cell from an SCell, if prior to padding the number of information bits in DCI format 1_1 carried by PDCCH on the primary cell is not equal to the number of information bits in DCI format 1_1 carried by PDCCH on the SCell for scheduling on the primary cell, zeros shall be appended to the DCI format 1_1 with smaller size until the payload size is the same.

§  If application of step 4C in clause 7.3.1.0 results in additional zero padding for DCI format 1_1 for scheduling on the primary cell, corresponding zeros shall be appended to both DCI format 1_1 monitored on the primary cell and DCI format 1_1 monitored on the SCell for scheduling on the primary cell.\

§  If the SCell is deactivated and firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id is not set to dormant BWP, the UE determines the number of information bits in DCI format 1_1 carried by PDCCH on the primary cell based on a DL BWP provided by firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id for the SCell. If the active DL BWP of the SCell is a dormant DL BWP, or if the SCell is deactivated and firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id is set to dormant BWP, the UE determines the number of information bits in DCI format 1_1 carried by PDCCH on the primary cell based on a DL BWP provided by firstWithinActiveTimeBWP-Id for the SCell if provided; otherwise, based on a DL BWP provided by firstOutsideActiveTimeBWP-Id for the SCell.

 

Agreement

·        Adopt the TP to TS 38.212 subclause 7.3.1.2.3.

For a UE configured with scheduling on the primary cell from an SCell, if prior to padding the number of information bits in DCI format 1_2 carried by PDCCH on the primary cell is not equal to the number of information bits in DCI format 1_2 carried by PDCCH on the SCell for scheduling on the primary cell, zeros shall be appended to the DCI format 1_2 with smaller size until the payload size is the same.

§  If application of step 4B in clause 7.3.1.0 results in additional zero padding for DCI format 1_2 for scheduling on the primary cell, corresponding zeros shall be appended to both DCI format 1_2 monitored on the primary cell and DCI format 1_2 monitored on the SCell for scheduling on the primary cell.

 

§  If the SCell is deactivated and firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id is not set to dormant BWP, the UE determines the number of information bits in DCI format 1_2 carried by PDCCH on the primary cell based on a DL BWP provided by firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id for the SCell. If the active DL BWP of the SCell is a dormant DL BWP, or if the SCell is deactivated and firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id is set to dormant BWP, the UE determines the number of information bits in DCI format 1_2 carried by PDCCH on the primary cell based on a DL BWP provided by firstWithinActiveTimeBWP-Id for the SCell if provided; otherwise, based on a DL BWP provided by firstOutsideActiveTimeBWP-Id for the SCell
