Abstract: techniques discussed herein can facilitate inter-cell interference mitigation. one example aspect is a user equipment (ue), configured to receive a network assistance indication associated with an interfering signal, where the interfering signal interferes with a physical downlink shared channel (pdsch) transmission. a time resource allocation of the interfering signal is different than a time resource allocation of the pdsch transmission. the ue is further configured to determine an interference and noise covariance estimation mechanism based on the network assistance indication then perform interference and noise covariance estimation based on the noise covariance estimation mechanism. the ue is further configured to perform mitigation of the interfering signal using a mitigation mechanism based on the interference and noise covariance estimation.

Abstract: a user equipment (ue) is configured to receive slice based rach configuration information, wherein the selecting is based on the slice based rach configuration information, determine that a first network slice and a second different network slice are in operation when the ue is in a radio resource control (rrc) connected state, initiate an access stratum (as) triggered random access channel (rach) procedure, select rach resources associated with one of the first network slice or the second network slice for the rach procedure based on the slice based rach configuration information and transmit a signal over the rach using the selected rach resources.

IPC Code(s): H04W74/0838
Abstract: systems and methods for determining a timing of a random access channel (rach) occasion (ro) used to transmit a contention free random access (cfra) preamble triggered by the receipt of an physical downlink control channel (pdcch) order in a pdcch are disclosed herein. a user equipment (ue) receives the pdcch order and determines a timing offset value between the ro and a signal (e.g., a synchronization signal block (ssb), the pdcch, a reference signal, etc.) to be used as a timing source. the ue also determines the arrival time of the signal to be used at the timing source. the ue then determines a time of the ro (during which the cfra preamble will be transmitted) according to the arrival time and the timing offset value. timing advance (ta) value(s) may also be accounted for as part of such a determination.
