4 Synchronization procedures

4.1 Cell search


Cell search is the procedure for a UE to acquire time and frequency synchronization with a cell and to detect the
physical layer Cell ID of the cell.

A UE receives the following synchronization signals (SS) in order to perform cell search: the primary synchronization
signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS) as defined in [4, TS 38.211].

A UE assumes that reception occasions of a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), PSS, and SSS are in consecutive
symbols, as defined in [4, TS 38.211], and form a SS/PBCH block. The UE assumes that SSS, PBCH DM-RS, and
PBCH data have same EPRE. The UE may assume that the ratio of PSS EPRE to SSS EPRE in a SS/PBCH block is
either 0 dB or 3 dB. If the UE has not been provided dedicated higher layer parameters, the UE may assume that the
ratio of PDCCH DMRS EPRE to SSS EPRE is within -8 dB and 8 dB when the UE monitors PDCCHs for a DCI
format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by SI-RNTI, P-RNTI, or RA-RNTI.

For a half frame with SS/PBCH blocks, the first symbol indexes for candidate SS/PBCH blocks are determined
according to the SCS of SS/PBCH blocks as follows, where index 0 corresponds to the first symbol of the first slot in a
half-frame.

- Case A - 15 kHz SCS: the first symbols of the candidate SS/PBCH blocks have indexes of {2, 8} +14 ⋅ n .

- For operation without shared spectrum channel access:

- For carrier frequencies smaller than or equal to 3 GHz, n = 0, 1.

- For carrier frequencies within FR1 larger than 3 GHz, n = 0, 1, 2, 3 .

- For operation with shared spectrum channel access, as described in [15, TS 37.213], = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
- Case B - 30 kHz SCS: the first symbols of the candidate SS/PBCH blocks have indexes {4, 8, 16, 20} + 28 ⋅ n . For
carrier frequencies smaller than or equal to 3 GHz, n = 0 . For carrier frequencies within FR1 larger than 3 GHz,
n = 0, 1.

- Case C - 30 kHz SCS: the first symbols of the candidate SS/PBCH blocks have indexes {2, 8} +14 ⋅ n .

- For operation without shared spectrum channel access

- For paired spectrum operation

- For carrier frequencies smaller than or equal to 3 GHz, n = 0, 1. For carrier frequencies within FR1
larger than 3 GHz, n = 0, 1, 2, 3 .

- For unpaired spectrum operation

- For carrier frequencies smaller than 1.88 GHz, n = 0, 1. For carrier frequencies within FR1 equal to or
larger than 1.88 GHz, n = 0, 1, 2, 3 .

- For operation with shared spectrum channel access, = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.


- Case D - 120 kHz SCS: the first symbols of the candidate SS/PBCH blocks have indexes {4, 8, 16, 20} + 28 ⋅ n .
For carrier frequencies within FR2, = 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18.

- Case E - 240 kHz SCS: the first symbols of the candidate SS/PBCH blocks have indexes
{8, 12, 16, 20, 32, 36, 40, 44} + 56 ⋅ n . For carrier frequencies within FR2, = 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8.
From the above cases, if the SCS of SS/PBCH blocks is not provided by ssbSubcarrierSpacing, the applicable cases for
a cell depend on a respective frequency band, as provided in [8-1, TS 38.101-1] and [8-2, TS 38.101-2]. A same case
applies for all SS/PBCH blocks on the cell. If a 30 kHz SS/PBCH block SCS is indicated by ssbSubcarrierSpacing,

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 10 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

Case B applies for frequency bands with only 15 kHz SS/PBCH block SCS as specified in [8-1, TS 38.101-1], and the
case specified for 30 kHz SS/PBCH block SCS in [8-1, TS 38.101-1] applies for frequency bands with 30 kHz
SS/PBCH block SCS or both 15 kHz and 30 kHz SS/PBCH block SCS as specified in [8-1, TS 38.101-1]. For a UE
configured to operate with carrier aggregation over a set of cells in a frequency band of FR2 or with frequency-
contiguous carrier aggregation over a set of cells in a frequency band of FR1, if the UE is provided SCS values by
ssbSubcarrierSpacing for receptions of SS/PBCH blocks on any cells from the set of cells, the UE expects the SCS
values to be same.

The candidate SS/PBCH blocks in a half frame are indexed in an ascending order in time from 0 to ௠௔௫ − 1, where
݉ܽ‫ ݔ‬is determined according to SS/PBCH block patterns for Cases A through E. ݉ܽ‫ ݔ‬is a maximum number of
SS/PBCH block indexes in a cell, and the maximum number of transmitted SS/PBCH blocks within a half frame is
௠௔௫ .
- For operation without shared spectrum channel access, ௠௔௫ = ௠௔௫
- For operation with shared spectrum channel access, ௠௔௫ = 8 for ௠௔௫ = 10 and 15 kHz SCS of SS/PBCH
blocks and for ௠௔௫ = 20 and 30 kHz SCS of SS/PBCH blocks

For ௠௔௫ = 4, a UE determines the 2 LSB bits of a candidate SS/PBCH block index per half frame from a one-to-one
mapping with an index of the DM-RS sequence transmitted in the PBCH as described in [4, TS 38.211].

For ௠௔௫ > 4, a UE determines the 3 LSB bits of a candidate SS/PBCH block index per half frame from a one-to-one
mapping with an index of the DM-RS sequence transmitted in the PBCH as described in [4, TS 38.211]

- for ௠௔௫ = 10, the UE determines the 1 MSB bit of the candidate SS/PBCH block index from PBCH payload
bit ̄ ஺ሜା଻ as described in [5, TS 38.212]

- for ௠௔௫ = 20, the UE determines the 2 MSB bits of the candidate SS/PBCH block index from PBCH payload
bits ̄஺ሜା଺ , ̄ ஺ሜା଻ as described in [5, TS 38.212]

- for ௠௔௫ = 64, the UE determines the 3 MSB bits of the candidate SS/PBCH block index from PBCH payload
bits ̄஺ሜାହ , ̄ ஺ሜା଺ , ̄ ஺ሜା଻ as described in [5, TS 38.212]

A UE can be provided per serving cell by ssb-periodicityServingCell a periodicity of the half frames for reception of the
SS/PBCH blocks for the serving cell. If the UE is not configured a periodicity of the half frames for receptions of the
SS/PBCH blocks, the UE assumes a periodicity of a half frame. A UE assumes that the periodicity is same for all
SS/PBCH blocks in the serving cell.

For initial cell selection, a UE may assume that half frames with SS/PBCH blocks occur with a periodicity of 2 frames.

For operation without shared spectrum channel access, an SS/PBCH block index is same as a candidate SS/PBCH block
index.

For operation with shared spectrum channel access, a UE assumes that transmission of SS/PBCH blocks in a half frame
is within a discovery burst transmission window that starts from the first symbol of the first slot in a half-frame. The UE
can be provided per serving cell by DiscoveryBurst-WindowLength a duration of the discovery burst transmission
window. If DiscoveryBurst-WindowLength is not provided, the UE assumes that the duration of the discovery burst
transmission window is a half frame. For a serving cell, the UE assumes that a periodicity of the discovery burst
transmission window is same as a periodicity of half frames for receptions of SS/PBCH blocks in the serving cell. The
UE assumes that one or more SS/PBCH blocks indicated by ssb-PositionsInBurst may be transmitted within the
discovery burst transmission window and have candidate SS/PBCH blocks indexes corresponding to SS/PBCH block
indexes provided by ssb-PositionsInBurst. If MSB ,  ≥ 1, of ssb-PositionsInBurst is set to 1, the UE assumes that
SS/PBCH block(s) within the discovery burst transmission window with candidate SS/PBCH block index(es)
corresponding to SS/PBCH block index equal to  − 1 may be transmitted; if MSB  is set to 0, the UE assumes that
the SS/PBCH block(s) are not transmitted.

For operation with shared spectrum channel access, a UE assumes that SS/PBCH blocks in a serving cell that are within
a same discovery burst transmission window or across discovery burst transmission windows are quasi co-located with
respect to average gain, quasi co-location 'typeA' and 'typeD' properties, when applicable [6, TS 38.214], if a value of
௉஻஼ு mod  ொ஼௅  is same among the SS/PBCH blocks. ஽ெିோௌ
஽ெିோௌ ௉஻஼ு is an index of a DM-RS sequence transmitted in a
ௌௌ஻

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 11 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

PBCH of a corresponding SS/PBCH block, and ௌௌ஻ ொ஼௅ is either provided by ssb-PositionQCL or, if ssb-PositionQCL is
not provided, obtained from a MIB provided by a SS/PBCH block according to Table 4.1-1 with ௌௌ஻ < 24 [4, TS
38.211]. subCarrierSpacingCommon indicates SCS of RMSI only for the case of operation without shared spectrum
௉஻஼ு mod  ொ஼௅ , or according to
channel access. The UE can determine an SS/PBCH block index according to ஽ெିோௌ ௌௌ஻
 ̅ ொ஼௅  where ̅ is the candidate SS/PBCH block index. The UE assumes that within a discovery burst
mod ௌௌ஻
ܳ‫ܮܥ‬
transmission window, a number of transmitted SS/PBCH blocks on a serving cell is not larger than ܵܵ‫ ܤ‬and a number
of transmitted SS/PBCH blocks with a same SS/PBCH block index is not larger than one.

Upon detection of a SS/PBCH block, the UE determines from MIB that a CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set, as
described in clause 13, is present if ௌௌ஻ < 24 [4, TS 38.211] for FR1 or if ௌௌ஻ < 12 for FR2. The UE determines
from MIB that a CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set is not present if ௌௌ஻ > 23 for FR1 or if ௌௌ஻ > 11 for FR2;
the CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set may be provided by PDCCH-ConfigCommon.

For a serving cell without transmission of SS/PBCH blocks, a UE acquires time and frequency synchronization with the
serving cell based on receptions of SS/PBCH blocks on the PCell, or on the PSCell, or on an SCell if applicable as
described in [10, TS 38.133], of the cell group for the serving cell.

4.2 Transmission timing adjustments


A UE can be provided a value N TA, offset of a timing advance offset for a serving cell by n-TimingAdvanceOffset for the
serving cell. If the UE is not provided n-TimingAdvanceOffset for a serving cell, the UE determines a default value
N TA, offset of the timing advance offset for the serving cell as described in [10, TS 38.133].

If a UE is configured with two UL carriers for a serving cell, a same timing advance offset value N TA, offset applies to
both carriers.

Upon reception of a timing advance command for a TAG, the UE adjusts uplink timing for PUSCH/SRS/PUCCH
transmission on all the serving cells in the TAG based on a value N TA, offset that the UE expects to be same for all the
serving cells in the TAG and based on the received timing advance command where the uplink timing for
PUSCH/SRS/PUCCH transmissions is the same for all the serving cells in the TAG.

For a band with synchronous contiguous intra-band EN-DC in a band combination with non-applicable maximum
transmit timing difference requirements as described in Note 1 of Table 7.5.3-1 of [10, TS 38.133], if the UE indicates
ul-TimingAlignmentEUTRA-NR as 'required' and uplink transmission timing based on timing adjustment indication for a
TAG from MCG and a TAG from SCG are determined to be different by the UE, the UE adjusts the transmission
timing for PUSCH/SRS/PUCCH transmission on all serving cells part of the band with the synchronous contiguous
intra-band EN-DC based on timing adjustment indication for a TAG from a serving cell in MCG in the band. The UE is
not expected to transmit a PUSCH/SRS/PUCCH in one CG when the PUSCH/SRS/PUCCH is overlapping in time,
even partially, with random access preamble transmitted in another CG.

For a SCS of 2 μ ⋅ 15 kHz, the timing advance command for a TAG indicates the change of the uplink timing relative to
the current uplink timing for the TAG in multiples of 16 ⋅ 64 ⋅ Tc 2 μ . The start timing of the random access preamble is
described in [4, TS 38.211].

A timing advance command [11, TS 38.321] in case of random access response or in an absolute timing advance
command MAC CE, T A , for a TAG indicates N TA values by index values of T A = 0, 1, 2, ..., 3846, where an amount
of the time alignment for the TAG with SCS of 2 μ ⋅15 kHz is N TA = TA ⋅ 16 ⋅ 64 2 μ . N TA is defined in [4, TS 38.211]

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 12 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

and is relative to the SCS of the first uplink transmission from the UE after the reception of the random access response
or absolute timing advance command MAC CE.

In other cases, a timing advance command [11, TS 38.321], T A , for a TAG indicates adjustment of a current N TA
value, N TA_old , to the new N TA value, N TA_new , by index values of T A = 0, 1, 2,..., 63, where for a SCS of 2 μ ⋅15 kHz,
NTA_new = NTA_old + (TA − 31) ⋅16 ⋅ 64 2μ .

If a UE has multiple active UL BWPs, as described in clause 12, in a same TAG, including UL BWPs in two UL
carriers of a serving cell, the timing advance command value is relative to the largest SCS of the multiple active UL
BWPs. The applicable N TA_new value for an UL BWP with lower SCS may be rounded to align with the timing
advance granularity for the UL BWP with the lower SCS while satisfying the timing advance accuracy requirements in
[10, TS 38.133].

Adjustment of an N TA value by a positive or a negative amount indicates advancing or delaying the uplink
transmission timing for the TAG by a corresponding amount, respectively.

For a timing advance command received on uplink slot n and for a transmission other than a PUSCH scheduled by a
RAR UL grant or a fallbackRAR UL grant as described in clause 8.2A or 8.3, or a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK
information in response to a successRAR as described in clause 8.2A, the corresponding adjustment of the uplink
transmission timing applies from the beginning of uplink slot n + k + 1 where
k = Nslot
subframe,μ
⋅ (NT,1 + NT,2 + NTA,max + 0.5) Tsf  , N T,1 is a time duration in msec of N 1 symbols corresponding to a
PDSCH processing time for UE processing capability 1 when additional PDSCH DM-RS is configured, N T,2 is a time
duration in msec of N 2 symbols corresponding to a PUSCH preparation time for UE processing capability 1 [6, TS
38.214], N TA,max is the maximum timing advance value in msec that can be provided by a TA command field of 12 bits,
subframe,μ
N slot is the number of slots per subframe, and Tsf is the subframe duration of 1 msec. N 1 and N 2 are determined
with respect to the minimum SCS among the SCSs of all configured UL BWPs for all uplink carriers in the TAG and of
all configured DL BWPs for the corresponding downlink carriers. For μ = 0 , the UE assumes N 1,0 = 14 [6, TS
subframe,μ
38.214]. Slot n and N slot are determined with respect to the minimum SCS among the SCSs of all configured UL
BWPs for all uplink carriers in the TAG. NTA,max is determined with respect to the minimum SCS among the SCSs of all
configured UL BWPs for all uplink carriers in the TAG and for all configured initial UL BWPs provided by
initialUplinkBWP. The uplink slot n is the last slot among uplink slot(s) overlapping with the slot(s) of PDSCH
reception assuming ்஺ = 0, where the PDSCH provides the timing advance command and ்஺ is defined in [4, TS
38.211].

If a UE changes an active UL BWP between a time of a timing advance command reception and a time of applying a
corresponding adjustment for the uplink transmission timing, the UE determines the timing advance command value
based on the SCS of the new active UL BWP. If the UE changes an active UL BWP after applying an adjustment for
the uplink transmission timing, the UE assumes a same absolute timing advance command value before and after the
active UL BWP change.

If the received downlink timing changes and is not compensated or is only partly compensated by the uplink timing
adjustment without timing advance command as described in [10, TS 38.133], the UE changes N TA accordingly.

If two adjacent slots overlap due to a TA command, the latter slot is reduced in duration relative to the former slot.

4.3 Timing for secondary cell activation / deactivation


With reference to slots for PUCCH transmissions each consisting of symb
slot
symbols as defined in [4, TS 38.211], when a
UE receives in a PDSCH an activation command [11, TS 38.321] for a secondary cell ending in slot n, the UE applies
the corresponding actions in [11, TS 38.321] no later than the minimum requirement defined in [10, TS 38.133] and no
earlier than slot n + k , except for the following:

- the actions related to CSI reporting on a serving cell that is active in slot n + k

- the actions related to the sCellDeactivationTimer associated with the secondary cell [11, TS 38.321] that the UE
applies in slot n + k

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 13 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

- the actions related to CSI reporting on a serving cell which is not active in slot n + k that the UE applies in the
earliest slot after n + k in which the serving cell is active.
subframe,ఓ
The value of k is + 3 slot + 1 where slot n+m is a slot indicated for PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK
subframe,μ
information for the PDSCH reception as described in clause 9.2.3 and Nslot is a number of slots per subframe for
the SCS configuration μ of the PUCCH transmission as defined in [4, TS 38.211].

With reference to slots for PUCCH transmissions each consisting of symbslot


symbols as defined in [4, TS 38.211], if a
UE receives a deactivation command [11, TS 38.321] for a secondary cell ending in slot n , the UE applies the
corresponding actions in [11, TS 38.321] no later than the minimum requirement defined in [10, TS 38.133], except for
the actions related to CSI reporting on an activated serving cell which the UE applies in slot n + k .

If the sCellDeactivationTimer associated with the secondary cell expires in slot n , the UE applies the corresponding
actions in [11, TS 38.321] no later than the minimum requirement defined in [10, TS 38.133], except for the actions
related to CSI reporting on an activated serving cell which the UE applies in the first slot that is after slot

n + 3 ⋅ N slot where μ is the SCS configuration for PDSCH reception on the secondary cell.

5 Radio link monitoring


The downlink radio link quality of the primary cell is monitored by a UE for the purpose of indicating out-of-sync/in-
sync status to higher layers. The UE is not required to monitor the downlink radio link quality in DL BWPs other than
the active DL BWP, as described in clause 12, on the primary cell. If the active DL BWP is the initial DL BWP and for
SS/PBCH block and CORESET multiplexing pattern 2 or 3, as described in clause 13, the UE is expected to perform
RLM using the associated SS/PBCH block when the associated SS/PBCH block index is provided by
RadioLinkMonitoringRS.

If the UE is configured with a SCG, as described in [12, TS 38.331], and the parameter rlf-TimersAndConstants is
provided by higher layers and is not set to release, the downlink radio link quality of the PSCell of the SCG is
monitored by the UE for the purpose of indicating out-of-sync/in-sync status to higher layers. The UE is not required to
monitor the downlink radio link quality in DL BWPs other than the active DL BWP on the PSCell.

A UE can be configured for each DL BWP of a SpCell [11, TS 38.321] with a set of resource indexes, through a
corresponding set of RadioLinkMonitoringRS, for radio link monitoring by failureDetectionResources. The UE is
provided either a CSI-RS resource configuration index, by csi-RS-Index, or a SS/PBCH block index, by ssb-Index. The
UE can be configured with up to N LR − RLM RadioLinkMonitoringRS for link recovery procedures, as described in clause
6, and for radio link monitoring. From the N LR − RLM RadioLinkMonitoringRS, up to NRLM RadioLinkMonitoringRS can
be used for radio link monitoring depending on ௠௔௫ as described in Table 5-1, wherein ௠௔௫ is as defined in clause
4.1, and up to two RadioLinkMonitoringRS can be used for link recovery procedures.

For operation with shared spectrum channel access, when a UE is provided a SS/PBCH block index by ssb-Index, the
UE is expected to perform radio link monitoring using SS/PBCH block(s) in the discovery burst transmission window
as described in clause 4.1, where the SS/PBCH block(s) have candidate SS/PBCH block index(es) corresponding to
SS/PBCH block index provided by ssb-Index.

If the UE is not provided RadioLinkMonitoringRS and the UE is provided for PDCCH receptions TCI states that include
one or more of a CSI-RS

- the UE uses for radio link monitoring the RS provided for the active TCI state for PDCCH reception if the active
TCI state for PDCCH reception includes only one RS

- if the active TCI state for PDCCH reception includes two RS, the UE expects that one RS is configured with qcl-
Type set to 'typeD' [6, TS 38.214] and the UE uses the RS configured with qcl-Type set to 'typeD' for radio link
monitoring; the UE does not expect both RS to be configured with qcl-Type set to 'typeD'

- the UE is not required to use for radio link monitoring an aperiodic or semi-persistent RS

- For Lmax = 4 , the UE selects the NRLM RS provided for active TCI states for PDCCH receptions in CORESETs
associated with the search space sets in an order from the shortest monitoring periodicity. If more than one

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 14 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

CORESETs are associated with search space sets having same monitoring periodicity, the UE determines the
order of the CORESET from the highest CORESET index as described in clause 10.1.

A UE does not expect to use more than NRLM RadioLinkMonitoringRS for radio link monitoring when the UE is not
provided RadioLinkMonitoringRS.

Values of N LR − RLM and NRLM for different values of L max are given in Table 5-1.

Table 5-1: N LR − RLM and NRLM as a function of maximum number L max of SS/PBCH blocks per half
frame

L max N LR − RLM NRLM

8 6 4

64 8 8

For a CSI-RS resource configuration, powerControlOffsetSS is not applicable and a UE expects to be provided only
'noCDM' from cdm-Type, only 'one' and 'three' from density, and only '1 port' from nrofPorts [6, TS 38.214].

If a UE is configured with multiple DL BWPs for a serving cell, the UE performs RLM using the RS(s) corresponding
to resource indexes provided by RadioLinkMonitoringRS for the active DL BWP or, if RadioLinkMonitoringRS is not
provided for the active DL BWP, using the RS(s) provided for the active TCI state for PDCCH receptions in
CORESETs on the active DL BWP.

In non-DRX mode operation, the physical layer in the UE assesses once per indication period the radio link quality,
evaluated over the previous time period defined in [10, TS 38.133] against thresholds (Qout and Qin) configured by
rlmInSyncOutOfSyncThreshold. The UE determines the indication period as the maximum between the shortest
periodicity for radio link monitoring resources and 10 msec.

In DRX mode operation, the physical layer in the UE assesses once per indication period the radio link quality,
evaluated over the previous time period defined in [10, TS 38.133], against thresholds (Qout and Qin) provided by
rlmInSyncOutOfSyncThreshold. The UE determines the indication period as the maximum between the shortest
periodicity for radio link monitoring resources and the DRX period.

The physical layer in the UE indicates, in frames where the radio link quality is assessed, out-of-sync to higher layers
when the radio link quality is worse than the threshold Qout for all resources in the set of resources for radio link
monitoring. When the radio link quality is better than the threshold Qin for any resource in the set of resources for radio
link monitoring, the physical layer in the UE indicates, in frames where the radio link quality is assessed, in-sync to
higher layers.

6 Link recovery procedures


A UE can be provided, for each BWP of a serving cell, a set q 0 of periodic CSI-RS resource configuration indexes by
failureDetectionResourcesToAddModList and a set q 1 of periodic CSI-RS resource configuration indexes and/or
SS/PBCH block indexes by candidateBeamRSList or candidateBeamRSListExt or candidateBeamRSSCellList for radio
link quality measurements on the BWP of the serving cell. If the UE is not provided q 0 by
failureDetectionResourcesToAddModList for a BWP of the serving cell, the UE determines the set q 0 to include
periodic CSI-RS resource configuration indexes with same values as the RS indexes in the RS sets indicated by TCI-
State for respective CORESETs that the UE uses for monitoring PDCCH and, if there are two RS indexes in a TCI
state, the set q 0 includes RS indexes configured with qcl-Type set to 'typeD' for the corresponding TCI states. The UE
expects the set q 0 to include up to two RS indexes. The UE expects single port RS in the set q 0 . The UE expects
single-port or two-port CSI-RS with frequency density equal to 1 or 3 REs per RB in the set q 1 .

The thresholds Qout,LR and Qin,LR correspond to the default value of rlmInSyncOutOfSyncThreshold, as described in [10,
TS 38.133] for Qout, and to the value provided by rsrp-ThresholdSSB or rsrp-ThresholdBFR, respectively.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 15 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

The physical layer in the UE assesses the radio link quality according to the set q 0 of resource configurations against
the threshold Qout,LR. For the set q 0 , the UE assesses the radio link quality only according to SS/PBCH blocks on the
PCell or the PSCell or periodic CSI-RS resource configurations that are quasi co-located, as described in [6, TS
38.214], with the DM-RS of PDCCH receptions monitored by the UE. The UE applies the Qin,LR threshold to the L1-
RSRP measurement obtained from a SS/PBCH block. The UE applies the Qin,LR threshold to the L1-RSRP measurement
obtained for a CSI-RS resource after scaling a respective CSI-RS reception power with a value provided by
powerControlOffsetSS.

In non-DRX mode operation, the physical layer in the UE provides an indication to higher layers when the radio link
quality for all corresponding resource configurations in the set q 0 that the UE uses to assess the radio link quality is
worse than the threshold Qout,LR. The physical layer informs the higher layers when the radio link quality is worse than
the threshold Qout,LR with a periodicity determined by the maximum between the shortest periodicity among the
SS/PBCH blocks on the PCell or the PSCell and/or the periodic CSI-RS configurations in the set q 0 that the UE uses
to assess the radio link quality and 2 msec. In DRX mode operation, the physical layer provides an indication to higher
layers when the radio link quality is worse than the threshold Qout,LR with a periodicity determined as described in [10,
TS 38.133].

For the PCell or the PSCell, upon request from higher layers, the UE provides to higher layers the periodic CSI-RS
configuration indexes and/or SS/PBCH block indexes from the set q 1 and the corresponding L1-RSRP measurements
that are larger than or equal to the Qin,LR threshold.

For the SCell, upon request from higher layers, the UE indicates to higher layers whether there is at least one periodic
CSI-RS configuration index and/or SS/PBCH block index from the set q 1 with corresponding L1-RSRP measurements
that are larger than or equal to the Qin,LR threshold, and provides the periodic CSI-RS configuration indexes and/or
SS/PBCH block indexes from the set q 1 and the corresponding L1-RSRP measurements that are larger than or equal to
the Qin,LR threshold, if any.

For the PCell or the PSCell, a UE can be provided a CORESET through a link to a search space set provided by
recoverySearchSpaceId, as described in clause 10.1, for monitoring PDCCH in the CORESET. If the UE is provided
recoverySearchSpaceId, the UE does not expect to be provided another search space set for monitoring PDCCH in the
CORESET associated with the search space set provided by recoverySearchSpaceId.

For the PCell or the PSCell, the UE can be provided, by PRACH-ResourceDedicatedBFR, a configuration for PRACH
transmission as described in clause 8.1. For PRACH transmission in slot n and according to antenna port quasi co-
location parameters associated with periodic CSI-RS resource configuration or with SS/PBCH block associated with
index qnew provided by higher layers [11, TS 38.321], the UE monitors PDCCH in a search space set provided by
recoverySearchSpaceId for detection of a DCI format with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI starting from
slot n + 4 within a window configured by BeamFailureRecoveryConfig. For PDCCH monitoring in a search space set
provided by recoverySearchSpaceId and for corresponding PDSCH reception, the UE assumes the same antenna port
quasi-collocation parameters as the ones associated with index qnew until the UE receives by higher layers an
activation for a TCI state or any of the parameters tci-StatesPDCCH-ToAddList and/or tci-StatesPDCCH-
ToReleaseList. After the UE detects a DCI format with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI in the search
space set provided by recoverySearchSpaceId, the UE continues to monitor PDCCH candidates in the search space set
provided by recoverySearchSpaceId until the UE receives a MAC CE activation command for a TCI state or tci-
StatesPDCCH-ToAddList and/or tci-StatesPDCCH-ToReleaseList.

For the PCell or the PSCell, after 28 symbols from a last symbol of a first PDCCH reception in a search space set
provided by recoverySearchSpaceId for which the UE detects a DCI format with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI or MCS-
C-RNTI and until the UE receives an activation command for PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo [11, TS 38.321] or is
provided PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo for PUCCH resource(s), the UE transmits a PUCCH on a same cell as the
PRACH transmission using

- a same spatial filter as for the last PRACH transmission

- a power determined as described in clause 7.2.1 with qu = 0 , q d = q new , and l = 0

For the PCell or the PSCell, after 28 symbols from a last symbol of a first PDCCH reception in a search space set
provided by recoverySearchSpaceId where a UE detects a DCI format with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI or MCS-C-

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 16 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

RNTI, the UE assumes same antenna port quasi-collocation parameters as the ones associated with index qnew for
PDCCH monitoring in a CORESET with index 0.

For the PCell or the PSCell, if BFR MAC CE [11, TS38.321] is transmitted in Msg3 or MsgA of contention based
random access procedure, and if a PUCCH resource is provided with PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo, after 28 symbols
from the last symbol of the PDCCH reception that determines the completion of the contention based random access
procedure as described in clause 5.1.5 of [11, TS38.321], the UE transmits the PUCCH on a same cell as the PRACH
transmission using

- a same spatial filter as for the last PRACH transmission

- a power determined as described in clause 7.2.1 with qu = 0 , qd = qnew , and l = 0 , where qnew is the SS/PBCH
block index selected for the last PRACH transmission.

A UE can be provided, by schedulingRequestID-BFR-SCell, a configuration for PUCCH transmission with a link


recovery request (LRR) as described in clause 9.2.4. The UE can transmit in a first PUSCH MAC CE providing
index(es) for at least corresponding SCell(s) with radio link quality worse than Qout,LR, indication(s) of presence of new
for corresponding SCell(s), and index(es) new for a periodic CSI-RS configuration or for a SS/PBCH block provided
by higher layers, as described in [11, TS 38.321], if any, for corresponding SCell(s). After 28 symbols from a last
symbol of a PDCCH reception with a DCI format scheduling a PUSCH transmission with a same HARQ process
number as for the transmission of the first PUSCH and having a toggled NDI field value, the UE

- monitors PDCCH in all CORESETs on the SCell(s) indicated by the MAC CE using the same antenna port quasi
co-location parameters as the ones associated with the corresponding index(es) new , if any

- transmits PUCCH on a PUCCH-SCell using a same spatial domain filter as the one corresponding to new , if
any, for periodic CSI-RS or SS/PBCH block reception, as described in clause 9.2.2, and using a power
determined as described in clause 7.2.1 with u = 0, d = new , and  = 0, if

- the UE is provided PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo for the PUCCH,

- a PUCCH with the LRR was either not transmitted or was transmitted on the PCell or the PSCell, and

- the PUCCH-SCell is included in the SCell(s) indicated by the MAC-CE

where the SCS configuration for the 28 symbols is the smallest of the SCS configurations of the active DL BWP for the
PDCCH reception and of the active DL BWP(s) of the at least one SCell.

7 Uplink Power control


Uplink power control determines a power for PUSCH, PUCCH, SRS, and PRACH transmissions.

A UE does not expect to simultaneously maintain more than four pathloss estimates per serving cell for all
PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS transmissions as described in clauses 7.1.1, 7.2.1, and 7.3.1, except for SRS transmissions
configured by SRS-PosResourceSet as described in clause 7.3.1. If the UE is provided a number of RS resources for
pathloss estimation for PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS transmissions that is larger than 4, the UE maintains for pathloss
estimation RS resources corresponding to RS resource indexes ௗ as described in clauses 7.1.1, 7.2.1, and 7.3.1. If an
RS resource updated by MAC CE, as described in clauses 7.1.1, 7.2.1 and 7.3.1, is one from the RS resources the UE
maintains for pathloss estimation for PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS transmissions, the UE applies the pathloss estimation based
on the RS resources starting from the first slot that is after slot  + 3 ∙ ܰslot
subframe,ߤ
where  is the slot where the UE would
transmit a PUCCH or PUSCH with HARQ-ACK information for the PDSCH providing the MAC CE and  is the SCS
configuration for the PUCCH or PUSCH, respectively.

A PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS/PRACH transmission occasion  is defined by a slot index ௦,௙ within a frame with system
frame number , a first symbol  within the slot, and a number of consecutive symbols . For a PUSCH
transmission with repetition Type B, a PUSCH transmission occasion is a nominal repetition [6, TS 38.214].

For a PUSCH transmission on active UL BWP , as described in clause 12, of carrier  of serving cell  , a UE first
calculates a linear value PUSCH,௕,௙,௖ ( , , ௗ ,  ) of the transmit power PUSCH,௕,௙,௖ ( , , ௗ ,  ), with parameters as defined in
clause 7.1.1. For a PUSCH transmission scheduled by a DCI format other than DCI format 0_0, or configured by
ConfiguredGrantConfig or semiPersistentOnPUSCH, if txConfig in PUSCH-Config is set to 'codebook',

- if ul-FullPowerTransmission in PUSCH-Config is provided, the UE scales PUSCH,௕,௙,௖ ( , , ௗ ,  ) by  where:

- if ul-FullPowerTransmission in PUSCH-Config is set to fullpowerMode1, and each SRS resource in the SRS-
ResourceSet with usage set to 'codebook' has more than one SRS port,  is the ratio of a number of antenna
ports with non-zero PUSCH transmission power over the maximum number of SRS ports supported by the
UE in one SRS resource

- if ul-FullPowerTransmission in PUSCH-Config is set to fullpowerMode2,

-  = 1 for full power TPMIs reported by the UE [16, TS 38.306], and  is the ratio of a number of antenna
ports with non-zero PUSCH transmission power over a number of SRS ports for remaining TPMIs, where
the number of SRS ports is associated with an SRS resource indicated by an SRI field in a DCI format
scheduling the PUSCH transmission if more than one SRS resource is configured in the SRS-ResourceSet
with usage set to 'codebook', or indicated by Type 1 configured grant, or the number of SRS ports is
associated with the SRS resource if only one SRS resource is configured in the SRS-ResourceSet with
usage set to 'codebook',

-  = 1, if an SRS resource with a single port is indicated by an SRI field in a DCI format scheduling the
PUSCH transmission when more than one SRS resource is provided in the SRS-ResourceSet with usage
set to 'codebook', or indicated by Type 1 configured grant, or if only one SRS resource with a single port
is provided in the SRS-ResourceSet with usage set to 'codebook', and

- if ul-FullPowerTransmission in PUSCH-Config is set to fullpower,  =1


- else, if each SRS resource in the SRS-ResourceSet with usage set to 'codebook' has more than one SRS port, the
UE scales the linear value by the ratio of the number of antenna ports with a non-zero PUSCH transmission
power to the maximum number of SRS ports supported by the UE in one SRS resource.

The UE splits the power equally across the antenna ports on which the UE transmits the PUSCH with non-zero power.

UE is provided more than one values for pucch-SpatialRelationInfoId and the UE receives an activation
command [11, TS 38.321] indicating a value of pucch-SpatialRelationInfoId, the UE determines the p0-
PUCCH-Value value through the link to a corresponding p0-PUCCH-Id index. The UE applies the activation

SS/PBCH block index as the one the UE uses to obtain MIB

- If the UE is provided a number of RS resource indexes, the UE calculates PL b , f , c ( q d ) using RS resource


with index q d , where 0 ≤ qd < Qd . Qd is a size for a set of RS resources provided by maxNrofPUCCH-

all SRS resource sets provided by SRS-PosResourceSet in addition to the up to four pathloss estimates that the
UE maintains per serving cell for PUSCH/PUCCH transmissions and for SRS transmissions configured by SRS-
Resource.

7.4 Physical random access channel


A UE determines a transmission power for a physical random access channel (PRACH), PPRACH, b, f ,c ( i ) , on active UL
BWP b of carrier f of serving cell c based on DL RS for serving cell c in transmission occasion i as

{
PPRACH,b, f ,c (i) = min PCMAX, f ,c (i), PPRACH,target,f,c + PLb, f ,c [dBm], }
where PCMAX, f,c (i ) is the UE configured maximum output power defined in [8-1, TS 38.101-1], [8-2, TS 38.101-2] and
[8-3, TS 38.101-3] for carrier f of serving cell c within transmission occasion i , PPRACH, target, f,c is the PRACH target
reception power PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER provided by higher layers [11, TS 38.321] for the active
UL BWP b of carrier f of serving cell c, and PLb , f ,c is a pathloss for the active UL BWP b of carrier f based on
the DL RS associated with the PRACH transmission on the active DL BWP of serving cell c and calculated by the UE
in dB as referenceSignalPower – higher layer filtered RSRP in dBm, where RSRP is defined in [7, TS 38.215] and the
higher layer filter configuration is defined in [12, TS 38.331]. If the active DL BWP is the initial DL BWP and for
SS/PBCH block and CORESET multiplexing pattern 2 or 3, as described in clause 13, the UE determines PLb , f ,c based
on the SS/PBCH block associated with the PRACH transmission.

If a PRACH transmission from a UE is not in response to a detection of a PDCCH order by the UE, or is in response to
a detection of a PDCCH order by the UE that triggers a contention based random access procedure, or is associated with
a link recovery procedure where a corresponding index q new is associated with a SS/PBCH block, as described in
clause 6, referenceSignalPower is provided by ss-PBCH-BlockPower.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 33 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

If a PRACH transmission from a UE is in response to a detection of a PDCCH order by the UE that triggers a
contention-free random access procedure and depending on the DL RS that the DM-RS of the PDCCH order is quasi-
collocated with as described in clause 10.1, referenceSignalPower is provided by ss-PBCH-BlockPower or, if the UE is
configured resources for a periodic CSI-RS reception or the PRACH transmission is associated with a link recovery
procedure where a corresponding index q new is associated with a periodic CSI-RS configuration as described in clause
6, referenceSignalPower is obtained by ss-PBCH-BlockPower and powerControlOffsetSS where powerControlOffsetSS
provides an offset of CSI-RS transmission power relative to SS/PBCH block transmission power [6, TS 38.214]. If
powerControlOffsetSS is not provided to the UE, the UE assumes an offset of 0 dB. If the active TCI state for the
PDCCH that provides the PDCCH order includes two RS, the UE expects that one RS is configured with qcl-Type set to
'typeD' and the UE uses the one RS when applying a value provided by powerControlOffsetSS.

If within a random access response window, as described in clause 8.2, the UE does not receive a random access
response that contains a preamble identifier corresponding to the preamble sequence transmitted by the UE, the UE
determines a transmission power for a subsequent PRACH transmission, if any, as described in [11, TS 38.321].

If prior to a PRACH retransmission, a UE changes the spatial domain transmission filter, Layer 1 notifies higher layers
to suspend the power ramping counter as described in [11, TS 38.321].

If due to power allocation to PUSCH/PUCCH/PRACH/SRS transmissions as described in clause 7.5, or due to power
allocation in EN-DC or NE-DC or NR-DC operation, or due to slot format determination as described in clause 11.1, or
due to the PUSCH/PUCCH/PRACH/SRS transmission occasions are in the same slot or the gap between a PRACH
transmission and PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS transmission is small as described in clause 8.1, the UE does not transmit a
PRACH in a transmission occasion, Layer 1 notifies higher layers to suspend the corresponding power ramping counter.
If due to power allocation to PUSCH/PUCCH/PRACH/SRS transmissions as described in clause 7.5, or due to power
allocation in EN-DC or NE-DC or NR-DC operation, the UE transmits a PRACH with reduced power in a transmission
occasion, Layer 1 may notify higher layers to suspend the corresponding power ramping counter.

7.5 Prioritizations for transmission power reductions


For single cell operation with two uplink carriers or for operation with carrier aggregation, if a total UE transmit power
for PUSCH or PUCCH or PRACH or SRS transmissions on serving cells in a frequency range in a respective
transmission occasion i would exceed PˆCMAX (i ) , where PˆCMAX (i ) is the linear value of PCMAX (i ) in transmission
occasion i as defined in [8-1, TS 38.101-1] for FR1 and [8-2, TS38.101-2] for FR2, the UE allocates power to
PUSCH/PUCCH/PRACH/SRS transmissions according to the following priority order (in descending order) so that the
total UE transmit power for transmissions on serving cells in the frequency range is smaller than or equal to PˆCMAX (i )
for that frequency range in every symbol of transmission occasion i . When determining a total transmit power for
serving cells in a frequency range in a symbol of transmission occasion i , the UE does not include power for
transmissions starting after the symbol of transmission occasion i . The total UE transmit power in a symbol of a slot is
defined as the sum of the linear values of UE transmit powers for PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH, and SRS in the symbol of
the slot.

- PRACH transmission on the PCell

- PUCCH or PUSCH transmissions with higher priority index according to clause 9

- For PUCCH or PUSCH transmissions with same priority index

- PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information, and/or SR, and/or LRR, or PUSCH transmission with
HARQ-ACK information

- PUCCH transmission with CSI or PUSCH transmission with CSI

- PUSCH transmission without HARQ-ACK information or CSI and, for Type-2 random access procedure,
PUSCH transmission on the PCell

- SRS transmission, with aperiodic SRS having higher priority than semi-persistent and/or periodic SRS, or
PRACH transmission on a serving cell other than the PCell

In case of same priority order and for operation with carrier aggregation, the UE prioritizes power allocation for
transmissions on the primary cell of the MCG or the SCG over transmissions on a secondary cell. In case of same
priority order and for operation with two UL carriers, the UE prioritizes power allocation for transmissions on the

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 34 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

carrier where the UE is configured to transmit PUCCH. If PUCCH is not configured for any of the two UL carriers, the
UE prioritizes power allocation for transmissions on the non-supplementary UL carrier.

ˆ ˆ
subframe i1 of the MCG and in slot i2 of the SCG in FR1, respectively. The UE is not required to transmit in
any portion of slot i2 of the SCG if PˆSCG (i 2 ) would need to be reduced by more than the value provided by
XSCALE in order for PˆMCG (i1 ) + PˆSCG (i2 ) ≤ PˆTotal
EN - DC
in any portion of slot i2 of the SCG. The UE is required to

in all portions of slot i1 , where PˆMCG (i1 ) and PˆSCG (i2 ) are the linear values of the total UE transmission powers
in slot i1 of the MCG in FR1 and in subframe i2 of the SCG, respectively.

- If the UE does not indicate a capability for dynamic power sharing between E-UTRA and NR for NE-DC, the
UE expects to be configured with reference TDD configuration for E-UTRA (by tdm-PatternConfigNE-DC-r15
in [13, TS 36.213]).

7.6.2 NR-DC
If a UE is configured with an MCG using NR radio access in FR1 or in FR2 and with a SCG using NR radio access in
FR2 or in FR1, respectively, the UE performs transmission power control independently per cell group as described in
clauses 7.1 through 7.5.

The UE does not expect to have PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH, or SRS transmissions on the MCG that

- are scheduled/triggered by DCI formats in PDCCH receptions with a last symbol that is earlier by less than offset
from the first symbol of the transmission occasion on the SCG, and

- overlap with the transmission occasion on the SCG

The UE does not expect to receive a positive TPC command value in a DCI format 2_2 or a DCI format 2_3 in a
PDCCH reception with a last symbol that is less than offset before the first symbol of the transmission occasion on the
SCG, if the transmission on the MCG overlaps with the transmission occasion on the SCG.

The UE is not required to apply a TPC command the UE receives in a DCI format 2_2 or a DCI format 2_3 in a

7.7 Power headroom report


The types of UE power headroom reports are the following. A Type 1 UE power headroom PH that is valid for
PUSCH transmission occasion i on active UL BWP b of carrier f of serving cell c . A Type 3 UE power headroom
PH that is valid for SRS transmission occasion i on active UL BWP b of carrier f of serving cell c.
A UE determines whether a power headroom report for an activated serving cell [11, TS 38.321] is based on an actual
transmission or a reference format based on the higher layer signalling of configured grant and periodic/semi-persistent
sounding reference signal transmissions and downlink control information the UE received until and including the
PDCCH monitoring occasion where the UE detects the first DCI format scheduling an initial transmission of a transport
block since a power headroom report was triggered if the power headroom report is reported on a PUSCH triggered by
the first DCI format. Otherwise, a UE determines whether a power headroom report is based on an actual transmission
or a reference format based on the higher layer signalling of configured grant and periodic/semi-persistent sounding
reference signal transmissions and downlink control information the UE received until the first uplink symbol of a
configured PUSCH transmission minus T'proc,2=Tproc,2 where Tproc,2 is determined according to [6, TS 38.214] assuming
d2,1 = 1, d2,2=0, and with µ DL corresponding to the subcarrier spacing of the active downlink BWP of the scheduling cell
for a configured grant if the power headroom report is reported on the PUSCH using the configured grant.

If a UE

- is configured with two UL carriers for a serving cell, and

- determines a Type 1 power headroom report and a Type 3 power headroom report for the serving cell

the UE

- provides the Type 1 power headroom report if both the Type 1 and Type 3 power headroom reports are based on
respective actual transmissions or on respective reference transmissions

- provides the power headroom report that is based on a respective actual transmission if either the Type 1 report
or the Type 3 report is based on a respective reference transmission

If a UE is configured with a SCG and if phr-ModeOtherCG for a CG indicates 'virtual' then, for power headroom
reports transmitted on the CG, the UE computes PH assuming that the UE does not transmit PUSCH/PUCCH on any
serving cell of the other CG. For NR-DC when both the MCG and the SCG operate either in FR1 or in FR2 and for a
power headroom report transmitted on the MCG or the SCG, the UE computes PH assuming that the UE does not
transmit PUSCH/PUCCH on any serving cell of the SCG or the MCG, respectively.

If the UE is configured with a SCG,

- For computing power headroom for cells belonging to MCG, the term 'serving cell' in this clause refers to
serving cell belonging to the MCG.

- For computing power headroom for cells belonging to SCG, the term 'serving cell' in this clause refers to serving
cell belonging to the SCG. The term 'primary cell' in this clause refers to the PSCell of the SCG.

If the UE is configured with a PUCCH-SCell,

clause refers to serving cell belonging to the secondary PUCCH group. The term 'primary cell' in this clause
refers to the PUCCH-SCell of the secondary PUCCH group.

For a UE configured with EN-DC/NE-DC and capable of dynamic power sharing, if E-UTRA Dual Connectivity PHR
[14, TS 36.321] is triggered and,

- if the duration of NR slot on active UL BWP is different from that of E-UTRA subframe carrying the Dual
Connectivity PHR, the UE provides power headroom of the first NR slot that fully overlaps with the E-UTRA
subframe;

- if the duration of NR slot on active UL BWP is the same as that of E-UTRA subframe carrying the Dual
Connectivity PHR for asynchronous EN-DC/NE-DC [10, TS 38.133], the UE provides power headroom of the
first NR slot that overlaps with the E-UTRA subframe.

7.7.1 Type 1 PH report


If a UE determines that a Type 1 power headroom report for an activated serving cell is based on an actual PUSCH

serving cell c 2 , and if the UE provides a Type 1 power headroom report in a PUSCH transmission in a slot on active
UL BWP b 1 that overlaps with multiple slots on active UL BWP b 2 , the UE provides a Type 1 power headroom

report for the first PUSCH, if any, on the first slot of the one or more slots on active UL BWP b 2 that overlaps with the
multiple slots of the nominal repetition on active UL BWP b 1 .

For a UE configured with EN-DC/NE-DC and capable of dynamic power sharing, if E-UTRA Dual Connectivity PHR
[14, TS 36.321] is triggered, the UE provides power headroom of the first PUSCH, if any, on the determined NR slot as
described in clause 7.7.

If a UE is configured with multiple cells for PUSCH transmissions, the UE does not consider for computation of a Type

If a UE is configured with two UL carriers for a serving cell and the UE determines a Type 1 power headroom report
for the serving cell based on a reference PUSCH transmission, the UE computes a Type 1 power headroom report for

provided pusch-Config for both UL carriers, the UE computes a Type 1 power headroom report for the serving cell
assuming a reference PUSCH transmission on the UL carrier provided by pucch-Config. If pucch-Config is not
provided to the UE for any of the two UL carriers, the UE computes a Type 1 power headroom report for the serving

If a UE is configured with two UL carriers for a serving cell and the UE determines a Type 3 power headroom report
for the serving cell based on a reference SRS transmission and a resource for the reference SRS is provided by SRS-
Resource, the UE computes a Type 3 power headroom report for the serving cell assuming a reference SRS

8 Random access procedure


Prior to initiation of the physical random access procedure, Layer 1 receives from higher layers a set of SS/PBCH block
indexes and provides to higher layers a corresponding set of RSRP measurements.

Prior to initiation of the physical random access procedure, Layer 1 may receive from higher layers an indication to
perform a Type-1 random access procedure, as described in clauses 8.1 through 8.4, or a Type-2 random access
procedure as described in clauses 8.1 through 8.2A.

Prior to initiation of the physical random access procedure, Layer 1 receives the following information from the higher
layers:

- Configuration of physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission parameters (PRACH preamble format,
time resources, and frequency resources for PRACH transmission).

- Parameters for determining the root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the PRACH preamble sequence set
(index to logical root sequence table, cyclic shift ( N CS ), and set type (unrestricted, restricted set A, or restricted
set B)).

From the physical layer perspective, the Type-1 L1 random access procedure includes the transmission of random
access preamble (Msg1) in a PRACH, random access response (RAR) message with a PDCCH/PDSCH (Msg2), and
when applicable, the transmission of a PUSCH scheduled by a RAR UL grant, and PDSCH for contention resolution.

From the physical layer perspective, the Type-2 L1 random access procedure includes the transmission of random
access preamble in a PRACH and of a PUSCH (MsgA) and the reception of a RAR message with a PDCCH/PDSCH
(MsgB), and when applicable, the transmission of a PUSCH scheduled by a fallback RAR UL grant, and PDSCH for
contention resolution.

If a random access procedure is initiated by a PDCCH order to the UE, a PRACH transmission is with a same SCS as a
PRACH transmission initiated by higher layers.

If a UE is configured with two UL carriers for a serving cell and the UE detects a PDCCH order, the UE uses the
UL/SUL indicator field value from the detected PDCCH order to determine the UL carrier for the corresponding
PRACH transmission.

8.1 Random access preamble


Physical random access procedure is triggered upon request of a PRACH transmission by higher layers or by a PDCCH
order. A configuration by higher layers for a PRACH transmission includes the following:

- A configuration for PRACH transmission [4, TS 38.211].

- A preamble index, a preamble SCS, PPRACH,target , a corresponding RA-RNTI, and a PRACH resource.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 41 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

A PRACH is transmitted using the selected PRACH format with transmission power PPRACH,b , f , c (i ) , as described in
clause 7.4, on the indicated PRACH resource.

For Type-1 random access procedure, a UE is provided a number


of SS/PBCH block indexes associated with one
PRACH occasion and a number of contention based preambles per SS/PBCH block index per valid PRACH occasion
by ssb-perRACH-OccasionAndCB-PreamblesPerSSB.

For Type-2 random access procedure with common configuration of PRACH occasions with Type-1 random access
procedure, a UE is provided a number
of SS/PBCH block indexes associated with one PRACH occasion by ssb-
perRACH-OccasionAndCB-PreamblesPerSSB and a number of contention based preambles per SS/PBCH block
index per valid PRACH occasion by msgA-CB-PreamblesPerSSB-PerSharedRO. The PRACH transmission can be on a
subset of PRACH occasions associated with a same SS/PBCH block index within an SSB-RO mapping cycle for a UE
provided with a PRACH mask index by msgA-SSB-SharedRO-MaskIndex according to [11, TS 38.321].

For Type-2 random access procedure with separate configuration of PRACH occasions with Type-1 random access
procedure, a UE is provided a number
of SS/PBCH block indexes associated with one PRACH occasion and a
number of contention based preambles per SS/PBCH block index per valid PRACH occasion by msgA-SSB-
PerRACH-OccasionAndCB-PreamblesPerSSB when provided; otherwise, by ssb-perRACH-OccasionAndCB-
PreamblesPerSSB.

For Type-1 random access procedure, or for Type-2 random access procedure with separate configuration of PRACH
occasions from Type 1 random access procedure, if
< 1, one SS/PBCH block index is mapped to 1⁄
consecutive
valid PRACH occasions and contention based preambles with consecutive indexes associated with the SS/PBCH
block index per valid PRACH occasion start from preamble index 0. If

For link recovery, a UE is provided


SS/PBCH block indexes associated with one PRACH occasion by ssb-perRACH-
Occasion in BeamFailureRecoveryConfig. For a dedicated RACH configuration provided by RACH-ConfigDedicated,
if cfra is provided, a UE is provided
SS/PBCH block indexes associated with one PRACH occasion by ssb-
perRACH-Occasion in occasions. If
< 1, one SS/PBCH block index is mapped to 1⁄
consecutive valid PRACH
occasions. If
≥ 1, all consecutive
SS/PBCH block indexes are associated with one PRACH occasion.

SS/PBCH block indexes provided by ssb-PositionsInBurst in SIB1 or in ServingCellConfigCommon are mapped to


valid PRACH occasions in the following order where the parameters are described in [4, TS 38.211].

- First, in increasing order of preamble indexes within a single PRACH occasion

- Second, in increasing order of frequency resource indexes for frequency multiplexed PRACH occasions

- Third, in increasing order of time resource indexes for time multiplexed PRACH occasions within a PRACH slot

- Fourth, in increasing order of indexes for PRACH slots

An association period, starting from frame 0, for mapping SS/PBCH block indexes to PRACH occasions is the smallest
SSB
value in the set determined by the PRACH configuration period according Table 8.1-1 such that NTx SS/PBCH block
SSB
indexes are mapped at least once to the PRACH occasions within the association period, where a UE obtains NTx from
the value of ssb-PositionsInBurst in SIB1 or in ServingCellConfigCommon. If after an integer number of SS/PBCH
block indexes to PRACH occasions mapping cycles within the association period there is a set of PRACH occasions or

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 42 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

SSB
PRACH preambles that are not mapped to NTx SS/PBCH block indexes, no SS/PBCH block indexes are mapped to
the set of PRACH occasions or PRACH preambles. An association pattern period includes one or more association
periods and is determined so that a pattern between PRACH occasions and SS/PBCH block indexes repeats at most
every 160 msec. PRACH occasions not associated with SS/PBCH block indexes after an integer number of association
periods, if any, are not used for PRACH transmissions.

For a PRACH transmission triggered by a PDCCH order, the PRACH mask index field [5, TS 38.212], if the value of
the random access preamble index field is not zero, indicates the PRACH occasion for the PRACH transmission where
the PRACH occasions are associated with the SS/PBCH block index indicated by the SS/PBCH block index field of the
PDCCH order.

For a PRACH transmission triggered by higher layers, if ssb-ResourceList is provided, the PRACH mask index is
indicated by ra-ssb-OccasionMaskIndex which indicates the PRACH occasions for the PRACH transmission where the
PRACH occasions are associated with the selected SS/PBCH block index.

The PRACH occasions are mapped consecutively per corresponding SS/PBCH block index. The indexing of the
PRACH occasion indicated by the mask index value is reset per mapping cycle of consecutive PRACH occasions per
SS/PBCH block index. The UE selects for a PRACH transmission the PRACH occasion indicated by PRACH mask
index value for the indicated SS/PBCH block index in the first available mapping cycle.

For the indicated preamble index, the ordering of the PRACH occasions is

- First, in increasing order of frequency resource indexes for frequency multiplexed PRACH occasions

- Second, in increasing order of time resource indexes for time multiplexed PRACH occasions within a PRACH
slot

- Third, in increasing order of indexes for PRACH slots

For a PRACH transmission triggered upon request by higher layers, a value of ra-OccasionList [12, TS 38.331], if
csirs-ResourceList is provided, indicates a list of PRACH occasions for the PRACH transmission where the PRACH
occasions are associated with the selected CSI-RS index indicated by csi-RS. The indexing of the PRACH occasions
indicated by ra-OccasionList is reset per association pattern period.

For paired spectrum or supplementary uplink band all PRACH occasions are valid.

For unpaired spectrum,

- if a UE is not provided tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, a PRACH occasion in a PRACH slot is valid if it


does not precede a SS/PBCH block in the PRACH slot and starts at least

For single cell operation or for operation with carrier aggregation in a same frequency band, a UE does not transmit
PRACH and PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS in a same slot or when a gap between the first or last symbol of a PRACH
transmission in a first slot is separated by less than
symbols from the last or first symbol, respectively, of a
PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS transmission in a second slot where

is the SCS configuration for the active UL BWP. For a PUSCH transmission with repetition Type B, this applies to each
actual repetition for PUSCH transmission [6, TS 38.214].

8.1A PUSCH for Type-2 random access procedure


For a Type-2 random access procedure, a UE transmits a PUSCH, when applicable, after transmitting a PRACH. The
UE encodes a transport block provided for the PUSCH transmission using redundancy version number 0. The PUSCH
transmission is after the PRACH transmission by at least
symbols where
= 2 for  = 0 or  = 1,
= 4 for  = 2
or  = 3, and  is the SCS configuration for the active UL BWP.

A UE does not transmit a PUSCH in a PUSCH occasion if the PUSCH occasion associated with a DMRS resource is
not mapped to a preamble of valid PRACH occasions or if the associated PRACH preamble is not transmitted as
described in clause 7.5 or clause 11.1. A UE can transmit a PRACH preamble in a valid PRACH occasion if the
PRACH preamble is not mapped to a valid PUSCH occasion.

A mapping between one or multiple PRACH preambles and a PUSCH occasion associated with a DMRS resource is
per PUSCH configuration.

A UE determines time resources and frequency resources for PUSCH occasions in an active UL BWP from msgA-
PUSCH-Config for the active UL BWP. If the active UL BWP is not the initial UL BWP and msgA-PUSCH-Config is
not provided for the active UL BWP, the UE uses the msgA-PUSCH-Config provided for the initial UL BWP.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 44 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

A UE determines a first interlace or first RB for a first PUSCH occasion in an active UL BWP respectively from
interlaceIndexFirstPO-MsgA-PUSCH or from frequencyStartMsgA-PUSCH that provides an offset, in number of RBs
in the active UL BWP, from a first RB of the active UL BWP. A PUSCH occasion includes a number of interlaces or a
number of RBs provided by nrofInterlacesPerMsgA-PO or by nrofPRBs-perMsgA-PO, respectively. Consecutive
PUSCH occasions in the frequency domain of an UL BWP are separated by a number of RBs provided by
guardBandMsgA-PUSCH. A number
݂ of PUSCH occasions in the frequency domain of an UL BWP is provided by
nrofMsgA-PO-FDM.

For operation with shared spectrum channel access, if the PUSCH occasion is provided by higher layer parameters
frequencyStartMsgA-PUSCH and nrofPRBs-perMsgA-PO, the UE expects a PUSCH occasion to be confined within the
same RB set as the corresponding PRACH transmission.

For operation with shared spectrum channel access, if the PUSCH occasion is provided by higher layer parameters
interlaceIndexFirstPO-MsgA-PUSCH and nrofInterlacesPerMsgA-PO, the RB set for the PUSCH occasion in the
active UL BWP is the same RB set as the corresponding PRACH transmission. The UE assumes that the RB set is
defined as when the UE is not provided intraCellGuardBandsPerSCS for an UL carrier as described in clause 7 of [6,
TS 38.214].

If a UE does not have dedicated RRC configuration, or has an initial UL BWP as an active UL BWP, or is not provided
startSymbolAndLengthMsgA-PO, msgA-PUSCH-timeDomainAllocation provides a SLIV and a PUSCH mapping type
for a PUSCH transmission by indicating

- one of the first maxNrofUL-Allocations values from PUSCH-TimeDomainResourceAllocationList, if PUSCH-


TimeDomainResourceAllocationList is provided in PUSCH-ConfigCommon

- one of the entries from table 6.1.2.1.1-2 or table 6.1.2.1.1-3 in [6, TS 38.214], if PUSCH-
TimeDomainResourceAllocationList is not provided in PUSCH-ConfigCommon

else, the UE is provided a SLIV by startSymbolAndLengthMsgA-PO, and a PUSCH mapping type by


mappingTypeMsgA-PUSCH for a PUSCH transmission.

For mapping one or multiple preambles of a PRACH slot to a PUSCH occasion associated with a DMRS resource, a UE
determines a first slot for a first PUSCH occasion in an active UL BWP from msgA-PUSCH-TimeDomainOffset that
provides an offset, in number of slots in the active UL BWP, relative to the start of a PUSCH slot including the start of
each PRACH slot. The UE does not expect to have a PRACH preamble transmission and a PUSCH transmission with a
msgA in a PRACH slot or in a PUSCH slot, or to have overlapping msgA PUSCH occasions for a MsgA PUSCH
configuration. The UE expects that a first PUSCH occasion in each slot has a same SLIV for a PUSCH transmission
that is provided by startSymbolAndLengthMsgA-PO or msgA-PUSCH-timeDomainAllocation [6, TS 38.214].

Consecutive PUSCH occasions within each slot are separated by guardPeriodMsgA-PUSCH symbols and have same
duration. A number
‫ ݐ‬of time domain PUSCH occasions in each slot is provided by nrofMsgA-PO-perSlot and a
number
‫ ݏ‬of consecutive slots that include PUSCH occasions is provided by nrofSlotsMsgA-PUSCH.

A UE is provided a DMRS configuration for a PUSCH transmission in a PUSCH occasion in an active UL BWP by
msgA-DMRS-Config.

A UE is provided an MCS for data information in a PUSCH transmission for a PUSCH occasion by msgA-MCS.

For a PUSCH transmission with frequency hopping in a slot, when indicated by msgA-intraSlotFrequencyHopping for
the active UL BWP, the frequency offset for the second hop [6, TS 38.214] is determined as described in clause 8.3,
Table 8.3-1 using msgA-HoppingBits instead of
୙୐ ୦୭୮ . If guardPeriodMsgA-PUSCH is provided, a first symbol of the
,

second hop is separated by guardPeriodMsgA-PUSCH symbols from the end of a last symbol of the first hop;
otherwise, there is no time separation of the PUSCH transmission before and after frequency hopping. If a UE is
provided with useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in BWP-UplinkCommon, the UE shall transmit PUSCH without frequency
hopping. A PUSCH transmission uses a same spatial filter as an associated PRACH transmission.

A UE determines whether or not to apply transform precoding for a PUSCH transmission as described in [6, TS
38.214].

A PUSCH occasion for PUSCH transmission is defined by a frequency resource and a time resource, and is associated
with a DMRS resource. The DMRS resources are provided by msgA-DMRS-Config.

‫ ݏ‬PUSCH slots

where
preamble = preamble ⁄PUSCH , preamble is a total number of valid PRACH occasions per association pattern
period multiplied by the number of preambles per valid PRACH occasion provided by rach-
ConfigCommonTwoStepRA, and PUSCH is a total number of valid PUSCH occasions per PUSCH configuration per
association pattern period multiplied by the number of DMRS resource indexes per valid PUSCH occasion provided by
msgA-DMRS-Config.

A PUSCH occasion is valid if it does not overlap in time and frequency with any valid PRACH occasion associated
with either a Type-1 random access procedure or a Type-2 random access procedure. Additionally, for unpaired
spectrum and for SS/PBCH blocks with indexes provided by ssb-PositionsInBurst in SIB1 or by
ServingCellConfigCommon

- if a UE is not provided tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, a PUSCH occasion is valid if the PUSCH occasion

- does not precede a SS/PBCH block in the PUSCH slot, and

- starts at least
gap symbols after a last SS/PBCH block symbol, where
gap is provided in Table 8.1-2 and, if
channelAccessMode = semistatic is provided, does not overlap with a set of consecutive symbols before the
start of a next channel occupancy time where the UE does not transmit [15, TS 37.213].

- if a UE is provided tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, a PUSCH occasion is valid if the PUSCH occasion

gap symbols after a last downlink symbol and at least
gap symbols after a last SS/PBCH block
symbol, where
gap is provided in Table 8.1-2 and, if channelAccessMode = semistatic is provided, does not
overlap with a set of consecutive symbols before the start of a next channel occupancy time where the UE
does not transmit [15, TS 37.213].

8.2 Random access response - Type-1 random access procedure


In response to a PRACH transmission, a UE attempts to detect a DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by a
corresponding RA-RNTI during a window controlled by higher layers [11, TS 38.321]. The window starts at the first
symbol of the earliest CORESET the UE is configured to receive PDCCH for Type1-PDCCH CSS set, as defined in
clause 10.1, that is at least one symbol, after the last symbol of the PRACH occasion corresponding to the PRACH
transmission, where the symbol duration corresponds to the SCS for Type1-PDCCH CSS set as defined in clause 10.1.
The length of the window in number of slots, based on the SCS for Type1-PDCCH CSS set, is provided by ra-
ResponseWindow.

If the UE detects the DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the corresponding RA-RNTI and LSBs of a SFN field in
the DCI format 1_0, if included and applicable, are same as corresponding LSBs of the SFN where the UE transmitted

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 46 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

PRACH, and the UE receives a transport block in a corresponding PDSCH within the window, the UE passes the
transport block to higher layers. The higher layers parse the transport block for a random access preamble identity
(RAPID) associated with the PRACH transmission. If the higher layers identify the RAPID in RAR message(s) of the
transport block, the higher layers indicate an uplink grant to the physical layer. This is referred to as random access
response (RAR) UL grant in the physical layer.

If the UE does not detect the DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the corresponding RA-RNTI within the window,
or if the UE detects the DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the corresponding RA-RNTI within the window and
LSBs of a SFN field in the DCI format 1_0, if included and applicable, are not same as corresponding LSBs of the SFN
where the UE transmitted PRACH, or if the UE does not correctly receive the transport block in the corresponding
PDSCH within the window, or if the higher layers do not identify the RAPID associated with the PRACH transmission
from the UE, the higher layers can indicate to the physical layer to transmit a PRACH. If requested by higher layers, the
UE is expected to transmit a PRACH no later than NT,1 + 0.75 msec after the last symbol of the window, or the last
symbol of the PDSCH reception, where NT,1 is a time duration of N1 symbols corresponding to a PDSCH processing
time for UE processing capability 1 assuming μ corresponds to the smallest SCS configuration among the SCS
configurations for the PDCCH carrying the DCI format 1_0, the corresponding PDSCH when additional PDSCH DM-
RS is configured, and the corresponding PRACH. For μ = 0 , the UE assumes N 1,0 = 14 [6, TS 38.214]. For a PRACH
transmission using 1.25 kHz or 5 kHz SCS, the UE determines N1 assuming SCS configuration μ = 0 .

If the UE detects a DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the corresponding RA-RNTI and LSBs of a SFN field in
the DCI format 1_0, if included and applicable, are same as corresponding LSBs of the SFN where the UE transmitted
the PRACH, and the UE receives a transport block in a corresponding PDSCH, the UE may assume same DM-RS
antenna port quasi co-location properties, as described in [6, TS 38.214], as for a SS/PBCH block or a CSI-RS resource
the UE used for PRACH association, as described in clause 8.1, regardless of whether or not the UE is provided TCI-
State for the CORESET where the UE receives the PDCCH with the DCI format 1_0.

If the UE attempts to detect the DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the corresponding RA-RNTI in response to a
PRACH transmission initiated by a PDCCH order that triggers a contention-free random access procedure for the
SpCell [11, TS 38.321], the UE may assume that the PDCCH that includes the DCI format 1_0 and the PDCCH order
have same DM-RS antenna port quasi co-location properties. If the UE attempts to detect the DCI format 1_0 with CRC
scrambled by the corresponding RA-RNTI in response to a PRACH transmission initiated by a PDCCH order that
triggers a contention-free random access procedure for a secondary cell, the UE may assume the DM-RS antenna port
quasi co-location properties of the CORESET associated with the Type1-PDCCH CSS set for receiving the PDCCH
that includes the DCI format 1_0.

A RAR UL grant schedules a PUSCH transmission from the UE. The contents of the RAR UL grant, starting with the
MSB and ending with the LSB, are given in Table 8.2-1.

If the value of the frequency hopping flag is 0, the UE transmits the PUSCH without frequency hopping; otherwise, the
UE transmits the PUSCH with frequency hopping.

The UE determines the MCS of the PUSCH transmission from the first sixteen indexes of the applicable MCS index
table for PUSCH as described in [6, TS 38.214].

The TPC command value δ msg 2,b, f ,c is used for setting the power of the PUSCH transmission, as described in clause
7.1.1, and is interpreted according to Table 8.2-2.

The CSI request field is reserved.

The ChannelAccess-CPext field indicates a channel access type and CP extension for operation with shared spectrum
channel access [15, TS 37.213] as defined in Table 7.3.1.1.1-4 in TS 38.212 or Table 7.3.1.1.1-4A in TS 38.212 if
ChannelAccessMode-r16 = "semistatic" is provided.as defined in Table 7.3.1.1.1-4 in TS 38.212.

Unless the UE is configured a SCS, the UE receives subsequent PDSCH using same SCS as for the PDSCH reception
providing the RAR message.

If the UE does not detect the DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the corresponding RA-RNTI within the window,
or if the UE detects the DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the corresponding RA-RNTI within the window and
the LSBs of a SFN field in the DCI format 1_0, if included and applicable, are not same as corresponding LSBs of the
SFN where the UE transmitted the PRACH, or the UE does not correctly receive a corresponding transport block within
the window, the UE procedure is as described in [11, TS 38.321].

8.2A Random access response - Type-2 random access procedure


In response to a transmission of a PRACH and a PUSCH, or to a transmission of only a PRACH if the PRACH
preamble is mapped to a valid PUSCH occasion, a UE attempts to detect a DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by a
corresponding MsgB-RNTI during a window controlled by higher layers [11, TS 38.321]. The window starts at the first
symbol of the earliest CORESET the UE is configured to receive PDCCH for Type1-PDCCH CSS set, as defined in
clause 10.1, that is at least one symbol, after the last symbol of the PUSCH occasion corresponding to the PRACH
transmission, where the symbol duration corresponds to the SCS for Type1-PDCCH CSS set. The length of the window
in number of slots, based on the SCS for Type1-PDCCH CSS set, is provided by msgB-ResponseWindow.

In response to a transmission of a PRACH, if the PRACH preamble is not mapped to a valid PUSCH occasion, a UE
attempts to detect a DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by a corresponding MsgB-RNTI during a window controlled
by higher layers [11, TS 38.321]. The window starts at the first symbol of the earliest CORESET the UE is configured to
receive PDCCH for Type1-PDCCH CSS set, as defined in clause 10.1, that is at least one symbol, after the last symbol
of the PRACH occasion corresponding to the PRACH transmission, where the symbol duration corresponds to the SCS
for Type1-PDCCH CSS set. The length of the window in number of slots, based on the SCS for Type1-PDCCH CSS set,
is provided by msgB-ResponseWindow.

If the UE detects the DCI format 1_0, with CRC scrambled by the corresponding MsgB-RNTI and LSBs of a SFN field
in the DCI format 1_0, if applicable, are same as corresponding LSBs of the SFN where the UE transmitted PRACH,
and the UE receives a transport block in a corresponding PDSCH within the window, the UE passes the transport block
to higher layers. The higher layers indicate to the physical layer

- an uplink grant if the RAR message(s) is for fallbackRAR and a random access preamble identity (RAPID)
associated with the PRACH transmission is identified, and the UE procedure continues as described in clauses
8.2, 8.3, and 8.4 when the UE detects a RAR UL grant, or

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 48 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

- transmission of a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information having ACK value if the RAR message(s) is for
successRAR, where

- a PUCCH resource for the transmission of the PUCCH is indicated by PUCCH resource indicator field of 4
bits in the successRAR from a PUCCH resource set that is provided by pucch-ResourceCommon

- a slot for the PUCCH transmission is indicated by a HARQ Feedback Timing Indicator field of 3 bits in the
successRAR having a value  from {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} and, with reference to slots for PUCCH
transmission having duration ௦௟௢௧ , the slot is determined as  +  + ∆, where  is a slot of the PDSCH
reception and ∆ is as defined for PUSCH transmission in Table 6.1.2.1.1-5 of [6, TS 38.214]

- the UE does not expect the first symbol of the PUCCH transmission to be after the last symbol of the
PDSCH reception by a time smaller than
் ଵ + 0.5 msec where
் ଵ is the PDSCH processing time for
, ,

UE processing capability 1 [6, TS 38.214]

- for operation with shared spectrum channel access, a channel access type and CP extension [15, TS 37.213]
for a PUCCH transmission is indicated by a ChannelAccess-CPext field in the successRAR as defined in
Table 7.3.1.1.1-4 in TS 38.212 as defined in Table 7.3.1.1.1-4 in TS 38.212 or Table 7.3.1.1.1-4A in TS
38.212 if ChannelAccessMode-r16 = "semistatic" is provided

- the PUCCH transmission is with a same spatial domain transmission filter and in a same active UL BWP as a
last PUSCH transmission

If the UE detects the DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by a C-RNTI and a transport block in a corresponding
PDSCH within the window, the UE transmits a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information having ACK value if the UE
correctly detects the transport block or NACK value if the UE incorrectly detects the transport block and the time
alignment timer is running [11, TS 38.321].

If the UE detects a DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the corresponding MsgB-RNTI and receives a transport
block within the window in a corresponding PDSCH, the UE may assume same DM-RS antenna port quasi co-location
properties, as described in [6, TS 38.214], as for a SS/PBCH block the UE used for PRACH association, as described in
clause 8.1, regardless of whether or not the UE is provided TCI-State for the CORESET where the UE receives the
PDCCH with the DCI format 1_0.

The UE does not expect to be indicated to transmit the PUCCH with the HARQ-ACK information at a time that is prior
to a time when the UE applies a TA command that is provided by the transport block. If the UE does not detect the DCI
format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the corresponding MsgB-RNTI within the window, or if the UE detects the DCI
format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the corresponding MsgB-RNTI within the window and LSBs of a SFN field in the
DCI format 1_0, if applicable, are not same as corresponding LSBs of the SFN where the UE transmitted the PRACH,
or if the UE does not correctly receive the transport block in the corresponding PDSCH within the window, or if the
higher layers do not identify the RAPID associated with the PRACH transmission from the UE, the higher layers can
indicate to the physical layer to transmit only PRACH according to Type-1 random access procedure or to transmit both
PRACH and PUSCH according to Type-2 random access procedure [11, TS 38.321]. If requested by higher layers, the
UE is expected to transmit a PRACH no later than
+ 0.75 msec after the last symbol of the window, or the last
T,1

symbol of the PDSCH reception, where


is a time duration of
ଵ symbols corresponding to a PDSCH processing
time for UE processing capability 1 when additional PDSCH DM-RS is configured. For  = 0, the UE assumes
=
T,1

14 [6, TS 38.214].
1,0

Unless the UE is configured a SCS, the UE receives subsequent PDSCH using same SCS as for the PDSCH reception
providing the RAR message.

If the UE does not detect the DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the corresponding MsgB-RNTI within the
window, or if the UE detects the 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the corresponding MsgB-RNTI within the window and
LSBs of a SFN field in the DCI format 1_0, if applicable, are not same as corresponding LSBs of the SFN where the
UE transmitted the PRACH, or the UE does not correctly receive a corresponding transport block within the window,
the UE procedure is as described in [11, TS 38.321].

8.3 PUSCH scheduled by RAR UL grant


An active UL BWP, as described in clause 12 and in [4, TS 38.211], for a PUSCH transmission scheduled by a RAR
UL grant is indicated by higher layers.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 49 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

If useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH is not provided by BWP-UplinkCommon and BWP-UplinkDedicated, for determining


the frequency domain resource allocation for the PUSCH transmission within the active UL BWP

- if the active UL BWP and the initial UL BWP have same SCS and same CP length and the active UL BWP
includes all RBs of the initial UL BWP, or the active UL BWP is the initial UL BWP, the initial UL BWP is
used

- else, the RB numbering starts from the first RB of the active UL BWP and the maximum number of RBs for
frequency domain resource allocation equals the number of RBs in the initial UL BWP

The frequency domain resource allocation is by uplink resource allocation type 1 [6, TS 38.214]. For an initial UL BWP
size of
RBs, a UE processes the frequency domain resource assignment field as follows

- end if

If useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH is provided by BWP-UplinkCommon or BWP-UplinkDedicated, the frequency domain


resource allocation is by uplink resource allocation type 2 [6, TS 38.214]. A UE processes the frequency domain
resource assignment field as follows

- truncate the frequency domain resource assignment field to the  = 6 LSBs if  = 0, or to the  = 5 LSBs if
=1
- for interlace allocation of a PUSCH transmission, interpret the  MSBs of the truncated frequency domain
resource assignment field for the active UL BWP as for the  MSBs of the frequency domain resource
assignment field in DCI format 0_0 [6, TS 38.214]

- for RB set allocation of a PUSCH transmission, the RB set of the active UL BWP is the RB set of the PRACH
transmission associated with the RAR UL grant. The UE assumes that the RB set is defined as when the UE is
not provided intraCellGuardBandsUL-List [6, TS 38.214].

A UE determines whether or not to apply transform precoding as described in [6, TS 38.214].

For a PUSCH transmission with frequency hopping scheduled by RAR UL grant or for a Msg3 PUSCH retransmission,
the frequency offset for the second hop [6, TS 38.214] is given in Table 8.3-1.

A SCS for the PUSCH transmission is provided by subcarrierSpacing in BWP-UplinkCommon. A UE transmits


PRACH and the PUSCH on a same uplink carrier of a same serving cell.

A UE transmits a transport block in a PUSCH scheduled by a RAR UL grant in a corresponding RAR message using
redundancy version number 0. If a TC-RNTI is provided by higher layers, the scrambling initialization of the PUSCH
corresponding to the RAR UL grant in clause 8.2 is by TC-RNTI. Otherwise, the scrambling initialization of the
PUSCH corresponding to the RAR UL grant in clause 8.2 is by C-RNTI. Msg3 PUSCH retransmissions, if any, of the
transport block, are scheduled by a DCI format 0_0 with CRC scrambled by a TC-RNTI provided in the corresponding
RAR message [11, TS 38.321]. The UE always transmits the PUSCH scheduled by a RAR UL grant without
repetitions.

With reference to slots for a PUSCH transmission scheduled by a RAR UL grant, if a UE receives a PDSCH with a
RAR message ending in slot  for a corresponding PRACH transmission from the UE, the UE transmits the PUSCH in
slot  + ଶ + ∆, where ଶ and ∆ are provided in [6, TS 38.214].

The UE may assume a minimum time between the last symbol of a PDSCH reception conveying a RAR message with a
RAR UL grant and the first symbol of a corresponding PUSCH transmission scheduled by the RAR UL grant is equal
to
் ଵ +
் ଶ + 0.5 msec, where

ଵ symbols corresponding to a PDSCH processing time for

் ଶ is a time duration of

corresponding to a PUSCH preparation time for UE processing capability 1 [6, TS 38.214] and, for determining the
minimum time, the UE considers that

ଶ correspond to the smaller of the SCS configurations for the PDSCH
and the PUSCH. For  = 0, the UE assumes
ଵ ଴ = 14 [6, TS 38.214].
,

8.4 PDSCH with UE contention resolution identity


In response to a PUSCH transmission scheduled by a RAR UL grant when a UE has not been provided a C-RNTI, the
UE attempts to detect a DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by a corresponding TC-RNTI scheduling a PDSCH that
includes a UE contention resolution identity [11, TS 38.321]. In response to the PDSCH reception with the UE
contention resolution identity, the UE transmits HARQ-ACK information in a PUCCH. The PUCCH transmission is
within a same active UL BWP as the PUSCH transmission. A minimum time between the last symbol of the PDSCH
reception and the first symbol of the corresponding PUCCH transmission with the HARQ-ACK information is equal to
N T,1 + 0 .5 msec. N T,1 is a time duration of N1 symbols corresponding to a PDSCH processing time for UE
processing capability 1 when additional PDSCH DM-RS is configured. For μ = 0 , the UE assumes N 1,0 = 14 [6, TS
38.214].

When detecting a DCI format in response to a PUSCH transmission scheduled by a RAR UL grant, as described in [11,
TS 38.321], or corresponding PUSCH retransmission scheduled by a DCI format 0_0 with CRC scrambled by a TC-
RNTI provided in the corresponding RAR message [11, TS 38.321], the UE may assume the PDCCH carrying the DCI
format has the same DM-RS antenna port quasi co-location properties, as described in [6, TS 38.214], as for a
SS/PBCH block the UE used for PRACH association, as described in clause 8.1, regardless of whether or not the UE is

9 UE procedure for reporting control information


If a UE is configured with a SCG, the UE shall apply the procedures described in this clause for both MCG and SCG.

- When the procedures are applied for MCG, the terms 'secondary cell', 'secondary cells' , 'serving cell', 'serving
cells' in this clause refer to secondary cell, secondary cells, serving cell, serving cells belonging to the MCG
respectively.

- When the procedures are applied for SCG, the terms 'secondary cell', 'secondary cells', 'serving cell', 'serving
cells' in this clause refer to secondary cell, secondary cells (not including PSCell), serving cell, serving cells
belonging to the SCG respectively. The term 'primary cell' in this clause refers to the PSCell of the SCG.

If a UE is configured with a PUCCH-SCell, the UE shall apply the procedures described in this clause for both primary
PUCCH group and secondary PUCCH group

- When the procedures are applied for the primary PUCCH group, the terms 'secondary cell', 'secondary cells' ,
'serving cell', 'serving cells' in this clause refer to secondary cell, secondary cells, serving cell, serving cells
belonging to the primary PUCCH group respectively.

- When the procedures are applied for secondary PUCCH group, the terms 'secondary cell', 'secondary cells',
'serving cell', 'serving cells' in this clause refer to secondary cell, secondary cells (not including the PUCCH-
SCell), serving cell, serving cells belonging to the secondary PUCCH group respectively. The term 'primary cell'
in this clause refers to the PUCCH-SCell of the secondary PUCCH group. If pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook-
secondaryPUCCHgroup-r16 is provided, pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook is replaced by pdsch-HARQ-ACK-
Codebook-secondaryPUCCHgroup-r16. If harq-ACK-SpatialBundlingPUCCH-secondaryPUCCHgroup is
provided, harq-ACK-SpatialBundlingPUCCH is replaced by harq-ACK-SpatialBundlingPUCCH-
secondaryPUCCHgroup. If harq-ACK-SpatialBundlingPUSCH-secondaryPUCCHgroup is provided, harq-
ACK-SpatialBundlingPUSCH is replaced by harq-ACK-SpatialBundlingPUSCH-secondaryPUCCHgroup.

If a UE is provided pdsch-HARQ-ACK-CodebookList-r16, pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook is replaced by the relevant


entry in pdsch-HARQ-ACK-CodebookList-r16.
If a UE

- is not provided coresetPoolIndex or is provided coresetPoolIndex with a value of 0 for first CORESETs on
active DL BWPs of serving cells, and

- is provided coresetPoolIndex with a value of 1 for second CORESETs on active DL BWPs of the serving cells,
and

- is provided ackNackFeedbackMode = separate

the UE shall separately apply the procedures described in clauses 9.1 and 9.2.3 for reporting HARQ-ACK information
associated with the first CORESETs on active DL BWP of the serving cells and for reporting HARQ-ACK information
associated with the second CORESETs on active DL BWP of the serving cells, and the UE does not expect to be
provided with subslotLengthForPUCCH or to be indicated by pdsch-HARQ-ACK-CodebookList to generate two
HARQ-ACK codebooks on active DL BWP of the serving cells. HARQ-ACK information reporting is associated
with a CORESET through a reception of a PDCCH with a DCI format triggering the reporting of the HARQ-ACK
information by the UE.

For NR-DC when both the MCG and the SCG operate either in FR1 or in FR2 and for a power headroom report
transmitted on the MCG or the SCG, the UE computes PH assuming that the UE does not transmit PUSCH/PUCCH on
any serving cell of the SCG or the MCG, respectively.

If a UE is configured for NR-DC operation, the UE does not expect to be configured with a PUCCH-SCell.

A PUSCH or a PUCCH transmission other than PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reports, including
repetitions if any, can be of priority index 0 or of priority index 1. For a configured grant PUSCH transmission, a UE
determines a priority index from phy-PriorityIndex, if provided. For a PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK
information corresponding to a SPS PDSCH reception or a SPS PDSCH release, a UE determines a priority index from
harq-CodebookID, if provided. For a PUCCH transmission with SR, a UE determines the corresponding priority as
described in clause 9.2.4. For a PUSCH transmission with semi-persistent CSI report, a UE determines a priority index
from a priority indicator field, if provided, in a DCI format that activates the semi-persistent CSI report. If a priority

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 52 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

index is not provided to a UE for a PUSCH or a PUCCH transmission other than PUCCH transmissions with SL
HARQ-ACK reports, the priority index is 0.

If a UE is provided one PUCCH-Config


- if the UE is provided subslotLengthForPUCCH in the PUCCH-Config, the PUCCH resource for any SR
configuration with priority index 0 or any CSI report configuration in the PUCCH-Config is within the
subslotLengthForPUCCH symbols in the PUCCH-Config
If a UE is provided two PUCCH-Config

- if the UE is provided subslotLengthForPUCCH in the first PUCCH-Config, the PUCCH resource for any SR
configuration with priority index 0 or any CSI report configuration in any PUCCH-Config is within the
subslotLengthForPUCCH symbols in the first PUCCH-Config

- if the UE is provided subslotLengthForPUCCH in the second PUCCH-Config, the PUCCH resource for any SR
configuration with priority index 1 in any PUCCH-Config is within the subslotLengthForPUCCH symbols in the
second PUCCH-Config

If in an active DL BWP a UE monitors PDCCH either for detection of DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 1_1 or for
detection of DCI format 0_2 and DCI format 1_2, a priority index can be provided by a priority indicator field. If a UE
indicates a capability to monitor, in an active DL BWP, PDCCH for detection of DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 1_1
and for detection of DCI format 0_2 and DCI format 1_2, a DCI format 0_1 or a DCI format 0_2 can schedule a
PUSCH transmission of any priority, a DCI format 1_1 or a DCI format 1_2 can schedule a PDSCH reception and
trigger a PUCCH transmission with corresponding HARQ-ACK information of any priority and a DCI format 1_1 can
indicate SCell dormancy and trigger a PUCCH transmission with corresponding HARQ-ACK information of any
priority.

When a UE determines overlapping for PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reports and PUCCH of larger
and/or smaller priority index, the UE resolves the overlapping for PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reports
and PUCCH of each priority index as described in clause 9.2.5 and 9.2.6 before resolving the overlapping for PUCCH
transmissions without SL HARQ-ACK or the overlapping for PUCCH transmissions and PUSCH transmissions.

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 UE transmission as described in
clause 11.1, including repetitions if any, the UE first resolves the 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 as described in clause 11.1

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

If a UE is scheduled by a DCI format in a first PDCCH reception to transmit a first PUCCH or a first PUSCH of larger
priority index that overlaps with a second PUCCH or a second PUSCH transmission of smaller priority index that, if
any, is scheduled by a DCI format in a second PDCCH

UE receives the first PDCCH and for all serving cells where the UE receives the PDSCHs corresponding

the serving cells with the second PUSCHs,

first PUSCH and the second PUSCHs and if processingType2Enabled of PDSCH-ServingCellConfig is
set to enable for all serving cells where the UE receives the PDSCHs corresponding to the second
PUCCHs,
ଶ is 5 for  = 0, 5.5 for  = 1 and 11 for  = 2

- else,
ଶ is 10 for =0, 12 for  = 1, 23 for  = 2, and 36 for  = 3;
If a UE would transmit the following channels, including repetitions if any, that would overlap in time

- a first PUCCH of larger priority index with SR and a second PUCCH or PUSCH of smaller priority index, or

- a configured grant PUSCH of larger priority index and a PUCCH of smaller priority index, or

- a first PUCCH of larger priority index with HARQ-ACK information only in response to a PDSCH reception
without a corresponding PDCCH and a second PUCCH of smaller priority index with SR and/or CSI, or a
configured grant PUSCH with smaller priority index, or a PUSCH of smaller priority index with SP-CSI
report(s) without a corresponding PDCCH, or

- a PUSCH of larger priority index with SP-CSI reports(s) without a corresponding PDCCH and a PUCCH of
smaller priority index with SR, or CSI, or HARQ-ACK information only in response to a PDSCH reception
without a corresponding PDCCH, or

- a configured grant PUSCH of larger priority index and a configured PUSCH of lower priority index on a same
serving cell

the UE is expected to cancel a repetition of the PUCCH/PUSCH transmissions of smaller priority index before the first
symbol overlapping with the PUCCH/PUSCH transmission of larger priority index if the repetition of the
PUCCH/PUSCH transmissions of smaller priority index overlaps in time with the PUCCH/PUSCH transmissions of
larger priority index.

When a UE determines overlapping for PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reports and PUSCH of smaller
priority index, including repetitions if any, after resolving the overlapping PUCCH other than PUCCH transmissions
with SL HARQ-ACK reports and/or PUSCH transmissions, if the PUSCH includes no UCI, the UE resolves the
overlapping for PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reports and PUSCH of smaller priority index as described
in clauses 9.2.5 and 9.2.6.

When a UE determines overlapping for PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reports and PUSCH of larger
priority index only, including repetitions if any, after resolving the overlapping PUCCH other than PUCCH
transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reports and/or PUSCH transmissions, the UE does not transmit the PUCCH with
SL HARQ-ACK reports

where

- the UE expects that the transmission of the PUSCH would not start before ௣௥௢௖ ଶ + ଵ after a last symbol of the
,

corresponding PDCCH reception;

ETSI

- ௣௥௢௖ ଶ is the PUSCH preparation time for a corresponding UE processing capability assuming ଶ ଵ = 0 [6, TS
, ,

38.214], based on  and


ଶ as subsequently defined in this clause, and ଵ is determined by a reported UE
capability.

The UE expects the PUCCH and PUSCH transmissions fulfill the conditions in clause 9 and clause 9.2.5 for UCI
multiplexing replacing the reference time of "end of PDSCH" with "end of the last symbol of a last PSFCH reception
occasion" as described in 16.5 and Tproc,1 with Tprep.

A UE does not expect that a PUCCH carrying SL HARQ-ACK reports overlaps with PUSCH with aperiodic or semi-
persistent CSI reports.

A UE does not expect to be scheduled to transmit a PUCCH or a PUSCH with smaller priority index that would overlap
in time with a PUCCH of larger priority index with HARQ-ACK information only in response to a PDSCH reception
without a corresponding PDCCH. A UE does not expect to be scheduled to transmit a PUCCH of smaller priority index
that would overlap in time with a PUSCH of larger priority index with SP-CSI report(s) without a corresponding
PDCCH.

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 as described in clause 11.1. 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.

In the remaining of this clause, the multiplexing or prioritization for overlapping channels are for overlapping channels
with same priority index or for overlapping channels with a PUCCH carrying SL HARQ-ACK information..

In the remaining of this clause, if a UE is provided subslotLengthForPUCCH, a slot for an associated PUCCH resource
of a PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information includes a number of symbols indicated by
subslotLengthForPUCCH.

If a UE would transmit on a serving cell a PUSCH without UL-SCH that overlaps with a PUCCH transmission on a
serving cell that includes positive SR information, the UE does not transmit the PUSCH.

If a UE would transmit CSI reports on overlapping physical channels, the UE applies the priority rules described in [6,
TS 38.214] for the multiplexing of CSI reports.

If a UE has overlapping resources for PUCCH transmissions in a slot and at least one of the PUCCH transmissions is
with repetitions over multiple slots, the UE first follows the procedures described in clause 9.2.6 for resolving the
overlapping among the resources for the PUCCH transmissions.

If a UE

- would multiplex UCI in a PUCCH transmission that overlaps with a PUSCH transmission, and

- the PUSCH and PUCCH transmissions fulfill the conditions in clause 9.2.5 for UCI multiplexing,

the UE

- multiplexes only HARQ-ACK information, if any, from the UCI in the PUSCH transmission and does not
transmit the PUCCH if the UE multiplexes aperiodic or semi-persistent CSI reports in the PUSCH;

- multiplexes only HARQ-ACK information and CSI reports, if any, from the UCI in the PUSCH transmission
and does not transmit the PUCCH if the UE does not multiplex aperiodic or semi-persistent CSI reports in the
PUSCH.

A UE does not expect to multiplex in a PUSCH transmission in one slot with SCS configuration ଵ UCI of same type
that the UE would transmit in PUCCHs in different slots with SCS configuration ଶ if ଵ < ଶ .

A UE does not expect to multiplex in a PUSCH transmission or in a PUCCH transmission HARQ-ACK information
that the UE would transmit in different PUCCHs.

A UE does not expect a PUCCH resource that results from multiplexing overlapped PUCCH resources, if applicable, to
overlap with more than one PUSCHs if each of the more than one PUSCHs includes aperiodic CSI reports.

A UE does not expect to detect a DCI format scheduling a PDSCH reception or a SPS PDSCH release, a DCI format
1_1 indicating SCell dormancy, or a DCI format including a One-shot HARQ-ACK request field with value 1, and
indicating a resource for a PUCCH transmission with corresponding HARQ-ACK information in a slot if the UE

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 55 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

previously detects a DCI format scheduling a PUSCH transmission in the slot and if the UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK
information in the PUSCH transmission.

If a UE multiplexes aperiodic CSI in a PUSCH and the UE would multiplex UCI that includes HARQ-ACK
information in a PUCCH that overlaps with the PUSCH and the timing conditions for overlapping PUCCHs and
PUSCHs in clause 9.2.5 are fulfilled, the UE multiplexes only the HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH and does not
transmit the PUCCH.

If a UE transmits multiple PUSCHs in a slot on respective serving cells that include first PUSCHs that are scheduled by
DCI formats and second PUSCHs configured by respective ConfiguredGrantConfig or semiPersistentOnPUSCH, and
the UE would multiplex UCI in one of the multiple PUSCHs, and the multiple PUSCHs fulfil the conditions in clause
9.2.5 for UCI multiplexing, the UE multiplexes the UCI in a PUSCH from the first PUSCHs.

If a UE transmits multiple PUSCHs in a slot on respective serving cells and the UE would multiplex UCI in one of the
multiple PUSCHs and the UE does not multiplex aperiodic CSI in any of the multiple PUSCHs, the UE multiplexes the
UCI in a PUSCH of the serving cell with the smallest ServCellIndex subject to the conditions in clause 9.2.5 for UCI
multiplexing being fulfilled. If the UE transmits more than one PUSCHs in the slot on the serving cell with the smallest
ServCellIndex that fulfil the conditions in clause 9.2.5 for UCI multiplexing, the UE multiplexes the UCI in the earliest
PUSCH that the UE transmits in the slot.

If a UE transmits a PUSCH over multiple slots and the UE would transmit a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK and/or CSI
information over a single slot that overlaps with the PUSCH transmission in one or more slots of the multiple slots, and
the PUSCH transmission in the one or more slots fulfills the conditions in clause 9.2.5 for multiplexing the HARQ-
ACK and/or CSI information, the UE multiplexes the HARQ-ACK and/or CSI information in the PUSCH transmission
in the one or more slots. The UE does not multiplex HARQ-ACK and/or CSI information in the PUSCH transmission in
a slot from the multiple slots if the UE would not transmit a single-slot PUCCH with HARQ-ACK and/or CSI
information in the slot in case the PUSCH transmission was absent.

If a UE transmits a PUSCH with repetition Type B and the UE would transmit a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK and/or CSI
information over a single slot that overlaps with the PUSCH transmission in one or more slots, the UE expects all actual
repetitions of the PUSCH transmission [6, TS 38.214] that would overlap with the PUCCH transmission to fulfill the
conditions in clause 9.2.5 for multiplexing the HARQ-ACK and/or CSI information, and the UE multiplexes the
HARQ-ACK and/or CSI information in the earliest actual PUSCH repetition of the PUSCH transmission that would
overlap with the PUCCH transmission and includes more than one symbol. The UE does not expect that all actual
repetitions that would overlap with the PUCCH transmission do not include more than one symbol.

If the PUSCH transmission over the multiple slots is scheduled by a DCI format that includes a DAI field, the value of
the DAI field is applicable for multiplexing HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH transmission in any slot from the
multiple slots where the UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK information.

When a UE would multiplex HARQ-ACK information in a PUSCH transmission that is configured by a


ConfiguredGrantConfig, and includes CG-UCI [5, TS 38.212], the UE multiplexes the HARQ-ACK information in the
PUSCH transmission if the UE is provided cg-UCI-Multiplexing; otherwise, the UE does not transmit the PUSCH and
multiplexes the HARQ-ACK information in a PUCCH transmission or in another PUSCH transmission.

9.1 HARQ-ACK codebook determination


If a UE is provided pdsch-HARQ-ACK-CodebookList, the UE can be indicated by pdsch-HARQ-ACK-CodebookList to
generate one or two HARQ-ACK codebooks. If the UE is indicated to generate one HARQ-ACK codebook, the HARQ-
ACK codebook is associated with a PUCCH of priority index 0. If a UE is provided pdsch-HARQ-ACK-CodebookList,
the UE multiplexes in a same HARQ-ACK codebook only HARQ-ACK information associated with a same priority
index. If the UE is indicated to generate two HARQ-ACK codebooks

- a first HARQ-ACK codebook is associated with a PUCCH of priority index 0 and a second HARQ-ACK
codebook is associated with a PUCCH of priority index 1

- the UE is provided first and second for each of {PUCCH-Config, UCI-OnPUSCH, PDSCH-
codeBlockGroupTransmission} by {PUCCH-ConfigurationList, UCI-OnPUSCH-ListDCI-0-1, PDSCH-
CodeBlockGroupTransmissionList} or {PUCCH-ConfigurationList, UCI-OnPUSCH-ListDCI-0-2, PDSCH-
CodeBlockGroupTransmissionList}, respectively, for use with the first and second HARQ-ACK codebooks,
respectively

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 56 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

If a UE receives a PDSCH without receiving a corresponding PDCCH, or if the UE receives a PDCCH indicating a SPS
PDSCH release, the UE generates one corresponding HARQ-ACK information bit. If the UE generates two HARQ-
ACK codebooks, the UE is indicated by harq-CodebookID, per SPS PDSCH configuration, a HARQ-ACK codebook
index for multiplexing the corresponding HARQ-ACK information bit.

If a UE is provided pdsch-HARQ-ACK-OneShotFeedback and the UE detects a DCI format in any PDCCH monitoring
occasion that includes a One-shot HARQ-ACK request field with value 1

- the UE includes the HARQ-ACK information in a Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook, as described in clause 9.1.4

- the UE does not expect that the PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field of the DCI format provides
an inapplicable value from dl-DataToUL-ACK-r16

In the remaining of this clause, reference is to one HARQ-ACK codebook and to DCI formats that schedule PDSCH
reception, or indicate SPS PDSCH release, or indicate SCell dormancy without scheduling a PDSCH reception and are
associated with the HARQ-ACK codebook.

If a UE is configured to receive SPS PDSCHs in a slot for SPS configurations that are indicated to be released by a DCI
format, and if the UE receives the PDCCH providing the DCI format in the slot where the end of a last symbol of the
PDCCH reception is not after the end of a last symbol of any of the SPS PDSCH receptions, and if HARQ-ACK
information for the SPS PDSCH release and the SPS PDSCH receptions would be multiplexed in a same PUCCH, the
UE does not expect to receive the SPS PDSCHs, does not generate HARQ-ACK information for the SPS PDSCH
receptions, and generates a HARQ-ACK information bit for the SPS PDSCH release.

If a UE detects a DCI format 1_1 indicating

- SCell dormancy without scheduling a PDSCH reception, as described in clause 10.3, and

- is provided pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook = dynamic or pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook-r16

the UE generates a HARQ-ACK information bit as described in clause 9.1.3 for a DCI format 1_1 indicating SCell
dormancy and the HARQ-ACK information bit value is ACK.

If a UE is not provided PDSCH-CodeBlockGroupTransmission, the UE generates one HARQ-ACK information bit per
transport block.

For a HARQ-ACK information bit, a UE generates a positive acknowledgement (ACK) if the UE detects a DCI format
that provides a SPS PDSCH release or correctly decodes a transport block, and generates a negative acknowledgement
(NACK) if the UE does not correctly decode the transport block. A HARQ-ACK information bit value of 0 represents a
NACK while a HARQ-ACK information bit value of 1 represents an ACK.

In the following, the CRC for a DCI format is scrambled with a C-RNTI, an MCS-C-RNTI, or a CS-RNTI.

9.1.1 CBG-based HARQ-ACK codebook determination


If a UE is provided PDSCH-CodeBlockGroupTransmission for a serving cell, the UE receives a PDSCH scheduled by
DCI format 1_1, that includes code block groups (CBGs) of a transport block. The UE is also provided
CBG/TB,max
maxCodeBlockGroupsPerTransportBlock indicating a maximum number N HARQ− ACK of CBGs for generating

respective HARQ-ACK information bits for a transport block reception for the serving cell.

For a number of C code blocks (CBs) in a transport block, the UE determines a number of CBGs M according to
clause 5.1.7.1 of [6, TS 38.214] and determines a number of HARQ-ACK bits for the transport block as
− ACK = M .
CBG/TB
N HARQ

The UE generates an ACK for the HARQ-ACK information bit of a CBG if the UE correctly received all code blocks of
the CBG and generates a NACK for the HARQ-ACK information bit of a CBG if the UE incorrectly received at least
one code block of the CBG. If the UE receives two transport blocks, the UE concatenates the HARQ-ACK information
bits for CBGs of the second transport block after the HARQ-ACK information bits for CBGs of the first transport
block.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 57 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

The HARQ-ACK codebook includes the NHARQ− ACK HARQ-ACK information bits and, if N HARQ−ACK < N HARQ−ACK for
CBG/TB,max CBG/TB CBG/TB,max

a transport block, the UE generates a NACK value for the last N HARQ −ACK − N HARQ −ACK HARQ-ACK information bits
CBG/TB,max CBG/TB

for the transport block in the HARQ-ACK codebook.

If the UE generates a HARQ-ACK codebook in response to a retransmission of a transport block, corresponding to a


same HARQ process as a previous transmission of the transport block, the UE generates an ACK for each CBG that the
UE correctly decoded in a previous transmission of the transport block.
CBG/TB
If a UE correctly detects each of the N HARQ−ACK CBGs and does not correctly detect the transport block for the
CBG/TB CBG/TB
N HARQ − ACK CBGs, the UE generates a NACK value for each of the N HARQ−ACK CBGs.

9.1.2 Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook determination


This clause applies if the UE is configured with pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook = semi-static.

A UE does not expect to be configured with pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook = semi-static for a codebook if a UE is


provided subslotLength-ForPUCCH for the codebook.
A UE reports HARQ-ACK information for a corresponding PDSCH reception or SPS PDSCH release only in a HARQ-
ACK codebook that the UE transmits in a slot indicated by a value of a PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator
field in a corresponding DCI format. The UE reports NACK value(s) for HARQ-ACK information bit(s) in a HARQ-
ACK codebook that the UE transmits in a slot not indicated by a value of a PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing
indicator field in a corresponding DCI format.

If a UE is not provided pdsch-HARQ-ACK-OneShotFeedback, the UE does not expect to receive a PDSCH scheduled
by a DCI format that the UE detects in any PDCCH monitoring occasion and includes a PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback
timing indicator field providing an inapplicable value from dl-DataToUL-ACK-r16.

If the UE is provided pdsch-AggregationFactor-r16 in SPS-Config or pdsch-AggregationFactor in PDSCH-Config and


no entry in pdsch-TimeDomainAllocationList and pdsch-TimeDomainAllocationListDCI-1-2 includes repetitionNumber

- if the UE has not received any PDSCH or SPS PDSCH release that the UE transmits corresponding HARQ-ACK

of dl-DataToUL-ACK-ForDCI-Format1-2 if the PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field is not
present in DCI format 1_2, in any of the ௖ occasions for candidate PDSCH receptions by a DCI format or SPS
PDSCH on any serving cell  , as described in clause 9.1.2.1, the UE does not multiplex HARQ-ACK
information in the PUSCH transmission;

UE generates HARQ-ACK information only for the SPS PDSCH release or only for the PDSCH reception as
described in clause 9.1.2.

A UE sets to NACK value in the HARQ-ACK codebook any HARQ-ACK information corresponding to PDSCH
reception or SPS PDSCH release that the UE detects in a PDCCH monitoring occasion that starts after a PDCCH
monitoring occasion where the UE detects a DCI format scheduling the PUSCH transmission.

A UE does not expect to detect a DCI format switching a DL BWP within ଶ symbols prior to a first symbol of a
PUSCH transmission where the UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK information, where ଶ is defined in [6, TS 38.214].

If a UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK information in a PUSCH transmission that is scheduled by DCI format that includes a
DAI field, the UE generates the HARQ-ACK codebook as described in clause 9.1.2.1 when a value of the DAI field is
T-DAI
UL = 1 except that harq-ACK-SpatialBundlingPUCCH is replaced by harq-ACK-SpatialBundlingPUSCH. The UE
does not generate a HARQ-ACK codebook for multiplexing in the PUSCH transmission when T-DAI UL = 0 unless the UE
receives only a SPS PDSCH release, or only SPS PDSCH(s), or only a PDSCH that is scheduled by DCI format 1_0
with a counter DAI field value of 1 on the PCell in the ௖ occasions for candidate PDSCH receptions in which case the
UE generates HARQ-ACK information only for the SPS PDSCH release or only for the PDSCH reception as described

9.1.3 Type-2 HARQ-ACK codebook determination


This clause applies if the UE is configured with pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook = dynamic or with pdsch-HARQ-ACK-

to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field providing an inapplicable value from dl-DataToUL-ACK-r16,

- if the UE detects a second DCI format, the UE multiplexes the corresponding HARQ-ACK information in a
PUCCH or PUSCH transmission in a slot that is indicated by a value of a PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing
indicator field in the second DCI format, where

- if the UE is not provided pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook-r16, the UE detects the second DCI format in any
PDCCH monitoring occasion after the first one, and where the slot indicated by the value of the PDSCH-to-
HARQ_feedback timing indicator field in the second DCI format is no later than a slot for HARQ-ACK
information in response to a SPS PDSCH reception, if any, received after the PDSCH scheduled by the first
DCI format.

- if the UE is provided pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook-r16, the UE detects the second DCI format in any

9.1.3.1 Type-2 HARQ-ACK codebook in physical uplink control channel


A UE determines monitoring occasions for PDCCH with DCI format scheduling PDSCH receptions or SPS PDSCH
release or indicating SCell dormancy on an active DL BWP of a serving cell  , as described in clause 10.1, and for
which the UE transmits HARQ-ACK information in a same PUCCH in slot based on

- PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field values for PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK
information in slot in response to PDSCH receptions, SPS PDSCH release or SCell dormancy indication

- slot offsets ଴ [6, TS 38.214] provided by time domain resource assignment field in a DCI format scheduling
PDSCH receptions and by pdsch-AggregationFactor, or pdsch-AggregationFactor-r16, or repetitionNumber,
when provided.

The set of PDCCH monitoring occasions for a DCI format scheduling PDSCH receptions or SPS PDSCH release or
indicating SCell dormancy is defined as the union of PDCCH monitoring occasions across active DL BWPs of
configured serving cells. PDCCH monitoring occasions are indexed in an ascending order of their start times. The
cardinality of the set of PDCCH monitoring occasions defines a total number  of PDCCH monitoring occasions.

A value of the counter downlink assignment indicator (DAI) field in DCI formats denotes the accumulative number of
{serving cell, PDCCH monitoring occasion}-pair(s) in which PDSCH reception(s), SPS PDSCH release or SCell
dormancy indication associated with the DCI formats is present up to the current serving cell and current PDCCH
monitoring occasion,

- first, if the UE indicates by type2-HARQ-ACK-Codebook support for more than one PDSCH reception on a
serving cell that are scheduled from a same PDCCH monitoring occasion, in increasing order of the PDSCH
reception starting time for the same {serving cell, PDCCH monitoring occasion} pair,

- second in ascending order of serving cell index, and

- third in ascending order of PDCCH monitoring occasion index


, where 0 ≤

If, for an active DL BWP of a serving cell, the UE is not provided coresetPoolIndex or is provided coresetPoolIndex
with value 0 for one or more first CORESETs and is provided coresetPoolIndex with value 1 for one or more second
CORESETs, and is provided ackNackFeedbackMode = joint, the value of the counter DAI is in the order of the first
CORESETs and then the second CORESETs for a same serving cell index and a same PDCCH monitoring occasion
index.

The value of the total DAI, when present [5, TS 38.212], in a DCI format denotes the total number of {serving cell,
PDCCH monitoring occasion}-pair(s) in which PDSCH reception(s), SPS PDSCH release or SCell dormancy indication
associated with DCI formats is present, up to the current PDCCH monitoring occasion
and is updated from PDCCH
monitoring occasion to PDCCH monitoring occasion. If, for an active DL BWP of a serving cell, the UE is not provided
coresetPoolIndex or is provided coresetPoolIndex with value 0 for one or more first CORESETs and is provided

If DL
TB,ܿ > 1, when a UE receives a PDSCH with one transport block, the HARQ-ACK information is associated with

If a UE receives a SPS PDSCH, or a PDSCH that is scheduled by a DCI format that does not support CBG-based
PDSCH receptions for a serving cell  and if maxCodeBlockGroupsPerTransportBlock is provided for serving cell  ,

information for the transport block in the PDSCH.

If a UE detects a DCI format that includes a One-shot HARQ-ACK request field with value 1, the UE determines a
PUCCH or a PUSCH to multiplex a Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook for transmission in a slot as described in clauses
9.2.3 and 9.2.5. The UE multiplexes only the Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook in the PUCCH or the PUSCH for
transmission in the slot.

If

- a UE detects a DCI format that includes a One-shot HARQ-ACK request field with value 1, and

- the CRC of the DCI is scrambled by a C-RNTI or an MCS-C-RNTI, and

- resourceAllocation = resourceAllocationType0 and all bits of the frequency domain resource assignment field in
the DCI format are equal to 0, or

- resourceAllocation = resourceAllocationType1 and all bits of the frequency domain resource assignment field in
the DCI format are equal to 1, or

- resourceAllocation = dynamicSwitch and all bits of the frequency domain resource assignment field in the DCI
format are equal to 0 or 1

the DCI format provides a request for a Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook report and does not schedule a PDSCH
reception. The UE is expected to provide HARQ-ACK information in response to the request for the Type-3 HARQ-
ACK codebook after  symbols from the last symbol of a PDCCH providing the DCI format, where the value of  for
- = 0,1,2 is provided in clause 10.2 by replacing "SPS PDSCH release" with "DCI format".
If a UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK information in a PUSCH transmission, the UE generates the HARQ-ACK codebook
as described in this clause except that harq-ACK-SpatialBundlingPUCCH is replaced by harq-ACK-
SpatialBundlingPUSCH.

9.2 UCI reporting in physical uplink control channel


UCI types reported in a PUCCH include HARQ-ACK information, SR, LRR, and CSI. UCI bits include HARQ-ACK
information bits, if any, SR information bits, if any, LRR information bit, if any, and CSI bits, if any. The HARQ-ACK
information bits correspond to a HARQ-ACK codebook as described in clause 9.1. For the remaining of this clause, any
reference to SR is applicable for SR and/or for LRR.

A UE may transmit one or two PUCCHs on a serving cell in different symbols within a slot. When the UE transmits
two PUCCHs in a slot and the UE is not provided ackNackFeedbackMode = separate, at least one of the two PUCCHs
uses PUCCH format 0 or PUCCH format 2.

If a UE is provided ackNackFeedbackMode = separate, the UE may transmit up to two PUCCHs with HARQ-ACK
information in different symbols within a slot.

In clauses 9.2.3, 9.2.5.1 and 9.2.5.2, a UE assumes 11 CRC bits if a number of respective UCI bits is larger than or
equal to 360; otherwise, the UE determines a number of CRC bits based on the number of respective UCI bits as
described in [5, TS 38.212].

9.2.1 PUCCH Resource Sets


If a UE does not have dedicated PUCCH resource configuration, provided by PUCCH-ResourceSet in PUCCH-Config,
a PUCCH resource set is provided by pucch-ResourceCommon through an index to a row of Table 9.2.1-1 for
transmission of HARQ-ACK information on PUCCH in an initial UL BWP of BWP size
PRBs.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 80 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

The PUCCH resource set includes sixteen resources, each corresponding to a PUCCH format, a first symbol, a duration,
a PRB offset ./BWP
offset
, and a cyclic shift index set for a PUCCH transmission.

The UE transmits a PUCCH using frequency hopping if not provided useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in BWP-
UplinkCommon; otherwise, the UE transmits a PUCCH without frequency hopping.

An orthogonal cover code with index 0 is used for a PUCCH resource with PUCCH format 1 in Table 9.2.1-1.

The UE transmits the PUCCH using the same spatial domain transmission filter as for a PUSCH transmission scheduled
by a RAR UL grant as described in clause 8.3.

If a UE is not provided any of pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook, pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook-r16, or pdsch-HARQ-ACK-


OneShotFeedback, the UE generates at most one HARQ-ACK information bit.

If the UE provides HARQ-ACK information in a PUCCH transmission in response to detecting a DCI format
scheduling a PDSCH reception or a SPS PDSCH release, the UE determines a PUCCH resource with index 0୔୙େେୌ ,
ଶ⋅௡ిిు,బ
0 ≤ 0୔୙େେୌ ≤ 15, as 0୔୙େେୌ = 1 2 + 2 ⋅ ∆୔ୖ୍ , where େେ୉ is a number of CCEs in a CORESET of a PDCCH
ேిిు

and ∆୔ୖ୍ is a value of the PUCCH resource indicator field in the DCI format.

If ⌊0PUCCH ⁄8⌋ = 0 and a UE is provided a PUCCH resource by pucch-ResourceCommon and is not provided
useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in BWP-UplinkCommon

the UE determines the PRB index of the PUCCH transmission in the first hop as ./BWP + ⌊0PUCCH ⁄ୌ ⌋ and the

If a UE has dedicated PUCCH resource configuration, the UE is provided by higher layers with one or more PUCCH
resources.

A PUCCH resource includes the following parameters:

- a PUCCH resource index provided by pucch-ResourceId

- an index of the first PRB prior to frequency hopping or for no frequency hopping by startingPRB, if a UE is not
provided useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in BWP-UplinkDedicated

- an index of the first PRB after frequency hopping by secondHopPRB, if a UE is not provided
useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in BWP-UplinkDedicated

- an indication for intra-slot frequency hopping by intraSlotFrequencyHopping, if a UE is not provided


useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in BWP-UplinkDedicated

- an index of a first interlace by interlace0, if a UE is provided useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in BWP-


UplinkDedicated

- if provided, an index of a second interlace by interlace1, if a UE is provided useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in


BWP-UplinkDedicated

- an index of an RB set by rb-SetIndex, if a UE is provided useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in BWP-


UplinkDedicated

- a configuration for a PUCCH format provided by format

The UE expects that useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in BWP-UplinkCommon and useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in BWP-


UplinkDedicated are provided either in all UL BWPs or in none of the UL BWPs for a serving cell.

If a UE is provided useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in BWP-UplinkDedicated, the UE determines available RBs for


PUCCH transmissions within the active UL BWP as the intersection of RBs corresponding to an interlace index
provided by interlace0 and, if provided, interlace1, and RBs of an RB set provided by rb-SetIndex. The intersection
results in interlace,0
PUCCH RBs in the first interlace and the UE expects that PUCCH is either 10 or 11. If interlace1 is
interlace,0
provided, the intersection results in interlace,1
PUCCH RBs in the second interlace and the UE expects that PUCCH is either
interlace,1
10 or 11.

If the format indicates PUCCH-format0, the PUCCH format configured for a PUCCH resource is PUCCH format 0,
where the PUCCH resource also includes an index for an initial cyclic shift provided by initialCyclicShift, a number of
symbols for a PUCCH transmission provided by nrofSymbols, a first symbol for the PUCCH transmission provided by
startingSymbolIndex.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 82 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

If the format indicates PUCCH-format1, the PUCCH format configured for a PUCCH resource is PUCCH format 1,
where the PUCCH resource also includes an index for an initial cyclic shift provided by initialCyclicShift, a number of
symbols for a PUCCH transmission provided by nrofSymbols, a first symbol for the PUCCH transmission provided by
startingSymbolIndex, and an index for an orthogonal cover code by timeDomainOCC.

If the format indicates PUCCH-format2 or PUCCH-format3, the PUCCH format configured for a PUCCH resource is
PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3, respectively, where the PUCCH resource also includes a number of PRBs
provided by nrofPRBs, a number of symbols for a PUCCH transmission provided by nrofSymbols, and a first symbol
for the PUCCH transmission provided by startingSymbolIndex. If a UE is provided by useInterlacePUCCH-PUSCH in
BWP-UplinkDedicated, and the format indicates PUCCH-format2 or PUCCH-format3 and PUCCH-ResourceExt is
provided, the PUCCH resource also includes an index of a second interlace by interlace1, if provided; otherwise, if
interlace1 is not provided, the PUCCH resource also includes, if provided, an orthogonal cover code length by occ-
Length and an orthogonal cover code index by occ-Index. If the format indicates PUCCH-format3 and PUCCH-
ResourceExt is provided, the UE assumes that the RB PUCCH,ଷ
[4, TS38.211] PRBs with the lowest indexes within the
first, and if configured, second interlace are used for PUCCH transmission.

If the format indicates PUCCH-format4, the PUCCH format configured for a PUCCH resource is PUCCH format 4,
where the PUCCH resource also includes a number of symbols for a PUCCH transmission provided by nrofSymbols, an
orthogonal cover code length by occ-Length, an orthogonal cover code index by occ-Index, and a first symbol for the
PUCCH transmission provided by startingSymbolIndex.

If a UE is provided subslotLengthForPUCCH in a PUCCH-Config, the first symbol of a PUCCH resource provided by


PUCCH-ResourceSet or SPS-PUCCH-AN-List in PUCCH-Config or by n1PUCCH-AN in SPS-Config for multiplexing
HARQ-ACK in a PUCCH transmission is relative to the first symbol of the subslotLengthForPUCCH symbols [12, TS
38.331]. For the remaining cases, the first symbol of a PUCCH resource is relative to the first symbol of a slot with
slot
sym symbols [4, TS 38.211].

A UE can be configured up to four sets of PUCCH resources in a PUCCH-Config. A PUCCH resource set is provided
by PUCCH-ResourceSet and is associated with a PUCCH resource set index provided by pucch-ResourceSetId, with a
set of PUCCH resource indexes provided by resourceList that provides a set of pucch-ResourceId used in the PUCCH
resource set, and with a maximum number of UCI information bits the UE can transmit using a PUCCH resource in the
PUCCH resource set provided by maxPayloadSize. For the first PUCCH resource set, the maximum number of UCI
information bits is 2. A maximum number of PUCCH resource indexes for a set of PUCCH resources is provided by
maxNrofPUCCH-ResourcesPerSet. The maximum number of PUCCH resources in the first PUCCH resource set is 32
and the maximum number of PUCCH resources in the other PUCCH resource sets is 8.

If the UE transmits UCI UCI information bits, that include HARQ-ACK information bits, the UE determines a PUCCH
resource set to be

- a first set of PUCCH resources with pucch-ResourceSetId = 0 if UCI ≤2 including 1 or 2 HARQ-ACK


information bits and a positive or negative SR on one SR transmission occasion if transmission of HARQ-ACK
information and SR occurs simultaneously, or

- a second set of PUCCH resources with pucch-ResourceSetId = 1, if provided by higher layers, if 2<

where ଶ is equal to maxPayloadSize if maxPayloadSize is provided for the PUCCH resource set with pucch-
ResourceSetId = 1; otherwise ଶ is equal to 1706, or

If the UE is provided SPS-PUCCH-AN-List and transmits UCI UCI information bits that include only HARQ-ACK
information bits in response to one or more SPS PDSCH receptions and SR, if any, the UE determines a PUCCH
resource to be

9.2.2 PUCCH Formats for UCI transmission


If a UE is not transmitting PUSCH, and the UE is transmitting UCI, the UE transmits UCI in a PUCCH using

- PUCCH format 0 if

- the transmission is over 1 symbol or 2 symbols,

- the number of HARQ-ACK information bits with positive or negative SR (HARQ-ACK/SR bits) is 1 or 2

- PUCCH format 1 if

- the transmission is over 4 or more symbols,

- the number of HARQ-ACK/SR bits is 1 or 2

- PUCCH format 2 if

- the transmission is over 1 symbol or 2 symbols,

- the number of UCI bits is more than 2

- PUCCH format 3 if

- the transmission is over 4 or more symbols,

- the number of UCI bits is more than 2,

- the PUCCH resource does not include an orthogonal cover code, or the UE is provided useInterlacePUCCH-
PUSCH in BWP-UplinkDedicated

- PUCCH format 4 if

- the transmission is over 4 or more symbols,

- the number of UCI bits is more than 2,

- the PUCCH resource includes an orthogonal cover code and the UE is not provided useInterlacePUCCH-
PUSCH in BWP-UplinkDedicated

A spatial setting for a PUCCH transmission is provided by PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo if the UE is configured with a
single value for pucch-SpatialRelationInfoId; otherwise, if the UE is provided multiple values for PUCCH-
SpatialRelationInfo, the UE determines a spatial setting for the PUCCH transmission as described in [11, TS 38.321].
The UE applies corresponding actions in [11, TS 38.321] and a corresponding setting for a spatial domain filter to
subframe,μ
transmit PUCCH in the first slot that is after slot k + 3 ⋅ Nslot where k is the slot where the UE would transmit a
PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information with ACK value corresponding to a PDSCH reception providing the PUCCH-
SpatialRelationInfo and μ is the SCS configuration for the PUCCH

- If PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo provides ssb-Index, the UE transmits the PUCCH using a same spatial domain
filter as for a reception of a SS/PBCH block with index provided by ssb-Index for a same serving cell or, if
servingCellId is provided, for a serving cell indicated by servingCellId

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 84 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

- else if PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo provides csi-RS-Index, the UE transmits the PUCCH using a same spatial
domain filter as for a reception of a CSI-RS with resource index provided by csi-RS-Index for a same serving cell
or, if servingCellId is provided, for a serving cell indicated by servingCellId

- else PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo provides srs, the UE transmits the PUCCH using a same spatial domain filter
as for a transmission of a SRS with resource index provided by resource for a same serving cell and/or active UL
BWP or, if servingCellId and/or uplinkBWP are provided, for a serving cell indicated by servingCellId and/or for
an UL BWP indicated by uplinkBWP

If a UE

- is not provided pathlossReferenceRSs in PUCCH-PowerControl,

- is provided enableDefaultBeamPL-ForPUCCH, and

- is not provided PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo, and

- is not provided coresetPoolIndex value of 1 for any CORESET, or is provided coresetPoolIndex value of 1 for
all CORESETs, in ControlResourceSet and no codepoint of a TCI field, if any, in a DCI format of any search
space set maps to two TCI states [5, TS 38.212]

a spatial setting for a PUCCH transmission from the UE is same as a spatial setting for PDCCH receptions by the UE in
the CORESET with the lowest ID on the active DL BWP of the PCell. For a PUCCH transmission over multiple slots, a
same spatial setting applies to the PUCCH transmission in each of the multiple slots.

A number of DMRS symbols for a PUCCH transmission using PUCCH format 3 or 4 is provided by additionalDMRS.

Use of π/2-BPSK, instead of QPSK, for a PUCCH transmission using PUCCH format 3 or 4 is indicated by pi2BPSK.

9.2.3 UE procedure for reporting HARQ-ACK


A UE does not expect to transmit more than one PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information in a slot per priority index, if
the UE is not provided ackNackFeedbackMode = separate.

For DCI format 1_0, the PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field values map to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}. For a
DCI format, other than DCI format 1_0, scheduling a PDSCH reception or a SPS PDSCH release, the PDSCH-to-
HARQ_feedback timing indicator field values, if present, map to values for a set of number of slots provided by dl-
DataToUL-ACK, dl-DataToUL-ACK-r16, or dl-DataToUL-ACKForDCIFormat1_2, as defined in Table 9.2.3-1.

+
For a SPS PDSCH reception ending in slot n , the UE transmits the PUCCH in slot  where  is provided by the
PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field, if present, in a DCI format activating the SPS PDSCH reception.

If the UE detects a DCI format that does not include a PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field and schedules
a PDSCH reception or activates a SPS PDSCH reception ending in slot , the UE provides corresponding HARQ-ACK
+
information in a PUCCH transmission within slot  where  is provided by dl-DataToUL-ACK, or dl-DataToUL-
ACK-r16, or dl-DataToUL-ACKForDCIFormat1_2.

With reference to slots for PUCCH transmissions, if the UE detects a DCI format scheduling a PDSCH reception
ending in slot or if the UE detects a DCI format indicating a SPS PDSCH release or indicating SCell dormancy
through a PDCCH reception ending in slot , or if the UE detects a DCI format that requests Type-3 HARQ-ACK
codebook report and does not schedule a PDSCH reception through a PDCCH reception ending in slot , as described
in clause 9.1.4, the UE provides corresponding HARQ-ACK information in a PUCCH transmission within slot , +
where  is a number of slots and is indicated by the PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field in the DCI
format, if present, or provided by dl-DataToUL-ACK, dl-DataToUL-ACK-r16, or dl-DataToUL-
ACKForDCIFormat1_2.  =0 corresponds to the last slot of the PUCCH transmission that overlaps with the PDSCH
reception or with the PDCCH reception in case of SPS PDSCH release or in case of SCell dormancy indication or in
case of the DCI format that requests Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook report and does not schedule a PDSCH reception.

A PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information is subject to the limitations for UE transmissions described in
clause 11.1 and clause 11.1.1.

For a PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information, a UE determines a PUCCH resource after determining a set
of PUCCH resources for O UCI HARQ-ACK information bits, as described in clause 9.2.1. The PUCCH resource
determination is based on a PUCCH resource indicator field [5, TS 38.212], if present, in a last DCI format, among the
DCI formats that have a value of a PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field, if present, or a value of dl-
DataToUL-ACK, or dl-DataToUL-ACK-r16, or dl-DataToUL-ACKForDCIFormat1_2, indicating a same slot for the
PUCCH transmission, that the UE detects and for which the UE transmits corresponding HARQ-ACK information in
the PUCCH where, for PUCCH resource determination, detected DCI formats are first indexed in an ascending order
across serving cells indexes for a same PDCCH monitoring occasion and are then indexed in an ascending order across
PDCCH monitoring occasion indexes. For indexing DCI formats within a serving cell for a same PDCCH monitoring
occasion, if the UE is not provided coresetPoolIndex or is provided coresetPoolIndex with value 0 for one or more first
CORESETs and is provided coresetPoolIndex with value 1 for one or more second CORESETs on an active DL BWP
of a serving cell, and with ackNackFeedbackMode = joint for the active UL BWP, detected DCI formats from PDCCH
receptions in the first CORESETs are indexed prior to detected DCI formats from PDCCH receptions in the second
CORESETs.

The PUCCH resource indicator field values map to values of a set of PUCCH resource indexes, as defined in Table
9.2.3-2 for a PUCCH resource indicator field of 3 bits, provided by resourceList for PUCCH resources from a set of
PUCCH resources provided by PUCCH-ResourceSet with a maximum of eight PUCCH resources. If the PUCCH
resource indicator field includes 1 bit or 2 bits, the values map to the first two values or the first four values,
respectively, of Table 9.2.3-2. If the last DCI format does not include a PUCCH resource indicator field, the first value
of Table 9.2.3-2 is used.

For the first set of PUCCH resources and when the size RPUCCH of resourceList is larger than eight, when a UE provides
HARQ-ACK information in a PUCCH transmission in response to detecting a last DCI format in a PDCCH reception,
among DCI formats with a value of the PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field, if present, or a value of dl-
DataToUL-ACK, or dl-DataToUL-ACK-r16, or dl-DataToUL-ACKForDCIFormat1_2, indicating a same slot for the
PUCCH transmission, the UE determines a PUCCH resource with index rPUCCH , 0 ≤ rPUCCH≤ RPUCCH−1 , as

If a UE determines a first resource for a PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information corresponding only to a
PDSCH reception without a corresponding PDCCH or detects a first DCI format indicating a first resource for a
PUCCH transmission with corresponding HARQ-ACK information in a slot and also detects at a later time a second
DCI format indicating a second resource for a PUCCH transmission with corresponding HARQ-ACK information in
the slot, the UE does not expect to multiplex HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the second DCI format in a
PUCCH resource in the slot if the PDCCH reception that includes the second DCI format is not earlier than
N 3 ⋅ ( 2048 + 144 ) ⋅ κ ⋅ 2 − μ ⋅ TC from the beginning of a first symbol of the first resource for PUCCH transmission in
the slot where,  and ௖ are defined in clause 4.1 of [4, TS 38.211] and μ corresponds to the smallest SCS
configuration among the SCS configurations of the PDCCHs providing the DCI formats and the SCS configuration of
the PUCCH. If processingType2Enabled of PDSCH-ServingCellConfig is set to enable for the serving cell with the
second DCI format and for all serving cells with corresponding HARQ-ACK information multiplexed in the PUCCH
transmission in the slot, N3 = 3 for μ = 0 , N 3 = 4.5 for μ = 1 , N3 = 9 for μ = 2 ; otherwise , N3 = 8 for μ = 0 ,
N 3 = 10 for μ = 1 , N 3 = 17 for μ = 2 , N 3 = 20 for μ = 3 .

If a UE is not provided SPS-PUCCH-AN-List and transmits HARQ-ACK information corresponding only to a PDSCH
reception without a corresponding PDCCH, a PUCCH resource for corresponding PUCCH transmission with HARQ-
ACK information is provided by n1PUCCH-AN.

If a UE transmits a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information using PUCCH format 0, the UE determines values m0 and
mCS for computing a value of cyclic shift α [4, TS 38.211] where m0 is provided by initialCyclicShift of PUCCH-
format0 or, if initialCyclicShift is not provided, by the initial cyclic shift index as described in clause 9.2.1 and mCS is
determined from the value of one HARQ-ACK information bit or from the values of two HARQ-ACK information bits
as in Table 9.2.3-3 and Table 9.2.3-4, respectively.

by initialCyclicShift of PUCCH-format1 or, if initialCyclicShift is not provided, by the initial cyclic shift index as
described in clause 9.2.1.

If a UE transmits a PUCCH with OACK HARQ-ACK information bits and OCRC bits using PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH
PUCCH PUCCH
format 3 in a PUCCH resource that includes M RB PRBs, the UE determines a number of PRBs M RB,min for the

9.2.4 UE procedure for reporting SR


A UE can be configured by SchedulingRequestResourceConfig a set of configurations for SR in a PUCCH transmission
using either PUCCH format 0 or PUCCH format 1. A UE can be configured by schedulingRequestID-BFR-SCell a
configuration for LRR in a PUCCH transmission using either PUCCH format 0 or PUCCH format 1. A UE can be
configured by schedulingRequestID-LBT-SCell a configuration for consistent LBT failure recovery, as described in [11,
TS 38.321], in a PUCCH transmission using either PUCCH format 0 or PUCCH format 1. The UE can be provided, by
phy-PriorityIndex in SchedulingRequestResourceConfig, a priority index 0 or a priority index 1 for the SR. If the UE is
not provided a priority index for SR, the priority index is 0.

The UE is configured a PUCCH resource by SchedulingRequestResourceId, or by schedulingRequestID-BFR-SCell, or


by schedulingRequestID-LBT-SCell, providing a PUCCH format 0 resource or a PUCCH format 1 resource as described
in clause 9.2.1. The UE is also configured a periodicity SRPERIODICITY in symbols or slots and an offset SROFFSET in slots
by periodicityAndOffset for a PUCCH transmission conveying SR. If SRPERIODICITY is larger than one slot, the UE
μ
determines a SR transmission occasion in a PUCCH to be in a slot with number n s,f [4, TS 38.211] in a frame with
( frame, μ
number n f if n f ⋅ N slot )
+ ns,fμ − SROFFSET mod SRPERIODICITY = 0 .

If SRPERIODICITY is one slot, the UE expects that SROFFSET = 0 and every slot is a SR transmission occasion in a PUCCH.

If SRPERIODICITY is smaller than one slot, the UE determines a SR transmission occasion in a PUCCH to start in a symbol
with index l [4, TS 38.211] if (l − l0 mod SRPERIODICITY ) mod SRPERIODICITY = 0 where l0 is the value of
startingSymbolIndex.

If the UE determines that, for a SR transmission occasion in a PUCCH, the number of symbols available for the
PUCCH transmission in a slot is smaller than the value provided by nrofSymbols, the UE does not transmit the PUCCH
in the slot.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 88 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

SR transmission occasions in a PUCCH are subject to the limitations for UE transmissions described in clause 11.1 and
clause 11.1.1.

The UE transmits a PUCCH in the PUCCH resource for the corresponding SR configuration only when the UE
transmits a positive SR. For a positive SR transmission using PUCCH format 0, the UE transmits the PUCCH as
described in [4, TS 38.211] by obtaining m0 as described for HARQ-ACK information in clause 9.2.3 and by setting
mcs = 0 . For a positive SR transmission using PUCCH format 1, the UE transmits the PUCCH as described in [4, TS
38.211] by setting b ( 0 ) = 0 .

9.2.5 UE procedure for reporting multiple UCI types


This clause is applicable to the case that a UE has resources for PUCCH transmissions or for PUCCH and PUSCH
transmissions that overlap in time and each PUCCH transmission is over a single slot without repetitions. Any case that
a PUCCH transmission is with repetitions over multiple slots is described in clause 9.2.6. If a UE is configured with
multiple PUCCH resources in a slot to transmit CSI reports

- if the UE is not provided multi-CSI-PUCCH-ResourceList or if PUCCH resources for transmissions of CSI


reports do not overlap in the slot, the UE determines a first resource corresponding to a CSI report with the
highest priority [6, TS 38.214]

- if the first resource includes PUCCH format 2, and if there are remaining resources in the slot that do not
overlap with the first resource, the UE determines a CSI report with the highest priority, among the CSI
reports with corresponding resources from the remaining resources, and a corresponding second resource as
an additional resource for CSI reporting

- if the first resource includes PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4, and if there are remaining resources in
the slot that include PUCCH format 2 and do not overlap with the first resource, the UE determines a CSI
report with the highest priority, among the CSI reports with corresponding resources from the remaining
resources, and a corresponding second resource as an additional resource for CSI reporting

- if the UE is provided multi-CSI-PUCCH-ResourceList and if any of the multiple PUCCH resources overlap, the
UE multiplexes all CSI reports in a resource from the resources provided by multi-CSI-PUCCH-ResourceList, as
described in clause 9.2.5.2.

A UE multiplexes DL HARQ-ACK information, with or without SR, and CSI report(s) in a same PUCCH if the UE is
provided simultaneousHARQ-ACK-CSI; otherwise, the UE drops the CSI report(s) and includes only DL HARQ-ACK
information, with or without SR, in the PUCCH. If the UE would transmit multiple PUCCHs in a slot that include DL
HARQ-ACK information and CSI report(s), the UE expects to be provided a same configuration for
simultaneousHARQ-ACK-CSI each of PUCCH formats 2, 3, and 4.

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.

If a UE would transmit multiple overlapping PUCCHs in a slot or overlapping PUCCH(s) and PUSCH(s) in a slot and,
when applicable as described in clauses 9.2.5.1 and 9.2.5.2, the UE is configured to multiplex different UCI types in
one PUCCH, and at least one of the multiple overlapping PUCCHs or PUSCHs is in response to a DCI format detection
by the UE, the UE multiplexes all corresponding UCI types if the following conditions are met. If one of the PUCCH
transmissions or PUSCH transmissions is in response to a DCI format detection by the UE, the UE expects that the first
symbol 0 of the earliest PUCCH or PUSCH, among a group overlapping PUCCHs and PUSCHs in the slot, satisfies
the following timeline conditions

- 0 is not before a symbol with CP starting after ݉‫ݔݑ‬

A UE does not expect a PUCCH or a PUSCH that is in response to a DCI format detection to overlap with any other

If a UE would transmit multiple PUCCHs in a slot that include HARQ-ACK information, and/or SR, and/or CSI reports
and any PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information in the slot satisfies the above timing conditions and does not overlap
with any other PUCCH or PUSCH in the slot that does not satisfy the above timing conditions, the UE multiplexes the
HARQ-ACK information, and/or SR, and/or CSI reports and determines corresponding PUCCH(s) for transmission in
the slot according to the following pseudo-code. If the multiple PUCCHs do not include HARQ-ACK information and
do not overlap with any PUSCH transmission by the UE in response to a DCI format detection by the UE, the timing
conditions do not apply.

If

- a UE is not provided multi-CSI-PUCCH-ResourceList, and

- a resource for a PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information in response to SPS PDSCH reception
and/or a resource for a PUCCH associated with a SR occasion overlap in time with two resources for respective
PUCCH transmissions with two CSI reports, and

- there is no resource for a PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information in response to a DCI format
detection that overlaps in time with any of the previous resources, and

- the following pseudo code results to the UE attempting to determine a single PUCCH resource from the HARQ-
ACK and/or the SR resource and the two PUCCH resources with CSI reports

the UE

- multiplexes the HARQ-ACK information and/or the SR in the resource for the PUCCH transmission with the
CSI report having the higher priority, and

- does not transmit the PUCCH with the CSI report having the lower priority

Set Q to the set of resources for transmission of corresponding PUCCHs in a single slot without repetitions where

- a resource with earlier first symbol is placed before a resource with later first symbol

- for two resources with same first symbol, the resource with longer duration is placed before the resource with
shorter duration

- for two resources with same first symbol and same duration, the placement is arbitrary

- the above three steps for the set Q are according to a subsequent pseudo-code for a function order(Q )

- a resource for negative SR transmission that does not overlap with a resource for HARQ-ACK or CSI
transmission is excluded from set Q

- if the UE is not provided simultaneousHARQ-ACK-CSI and resources for transmission of HARQ-ACK


information include PUCCH format 0 or PUCCH format 2, resources that include PUCCH format 2, or PUCCH
format 3, or PUCCH format 4 for transmission of CSI reports are excluded from the set Q if they overlap with
any resource from the resources for transmission of HARQ-ACK information

- if the UE is not provided simultaneousHARQ-ACK-CSI and at least one of the resources for transmission of
HARQ-ACK information includes PUCCH format 1, PUCCH format 3, or PUCCH format 4

- resources that include PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4 for transmission of CSI reports are excluded

The function order(Q ) performs the following pseudo-code

Q (l + 1) = temp

end if

l =l +1
end while

k =k +1
end while

For each PUCCH resource in the set Q that satisfies the aforementioned timing conditions, when applicable,

- the UE transmits a PUCCH using the PUCCH resource if the PUCCH resource does not overlap in time with a
PUSCH transmission after multiplexing UCI following the procedures described in clauses 9.2.5.1 and 9.2.5.2

- the UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK information and/or CSI reports in a PUSCH if the PUCCH resource overlaps in
time with a PUSCH transmission, as described in clause 9.3, and does not transmit SR. In case the PUCCH
resource overlaps in time with multiple PUSCH transmissions, the PUSCH for multiplexing HARQ-ACK
information and/or CSI is selected as described in clause 9. If the PUSCH transmission by the UE is not in

applicable

- the UE does not expect the resource to overlap with a second resource of a PUCCH transmission over multiple
slots if the resource is obtained from a group of resources that do not overlap with the second resource.

clauses 9.2.5.0, 9.2.5.1 and 9.2.5.2 assume the following

- resources for transmissions of UCI types, prior to multiplexing or dropping, overlap in a slot

- multiplexing conditions of corresponding UCI types in a single PUCCH are satisfied, and

- the UE does not transmit any PUSCH time-overlapping with PUCCH in the slot.

9.2.5.0 UE procedure for prioritization between SL HARQ-ACK information in a


PUCCH and UCI in a PUCCH
The priority value of a PUCCH transmission is as described in clause 16.2.4.3.1.

For prioritization between SL HARQ-ACK information in a first PUCCH and UCI in a second PUCCH

- if the second PUCCH has priority index 1,

- if sl-PriorityThreshold-UL-URLLC is provided

- the UE transmits the first PUCCH if a smallest priority value of the first PUCCH is smaller than sl-
PriorityThreshold-UL-URLLC; otherwise, the UE transmits the second PUCCH

- else

- the UE transmits the second PUCCH

- else

- the UE transmits the first PUCCH if the smallest priority value of the first PUCCH is smaller than sl-
PriorityThreshold; otherwise, the UE transmits the second PUCCH

When the UE determines to transmit the second PUCCH, the UE determines a single resource for multiplexing UCI in
the second PUCCH as described in clauses 9.2.5.1 and 9.2.5.2.

9.2.5.1 UE procedure for multiplexing HARQ-ACK or CSI and SR in a PUCCH


In the following, a UE is configured to transmit  PUCCHs for respective  SRs in a slot, as determined by a set of
schedulingRequestResourceId, a schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-BFR-SCell, and a
schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-LBT-SCell, with SR transmission occasions that
would overlap with a transmission of a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information from the UE in the slot or with a
transmission of a PUCCH with CSI report(s) from the UE in the slot.

If a UE would transmit a PUCCH with positive SR and at most two HARQ-ACK information bits in a resource using
PUCCH format 0, the UE transmits the PUCCH in the resource using PUCCH format 0 in PRB(s) for HARQ-ACK
information as described in clause 9.2.3. The UE determines a value of m0 and m CS for computing a value of cyclic
shift α [4, TS 38.211] where m0 is provided by initialCyclicShift of PUCCH-format0, and m CS is determined from
the value of one HARQ-ACK information bit or from the values of two HARQ-ACK information bits as in Table 9.2.5-
1 and Table 9.2.5-2, respectively.

If the UE would transmit negative SR and a PUCCH with at most two HARQ-ACK information bits in a resource using
PUCCH format 0, the UE transmits the PUCCH in the resource using PUCCH format 0 for HARQ-ACK information as
described in clause 9.2.3.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 94 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

Sequence cyclic shift mCS = 1 m CS = 4 m CS = 7 mCS = 10

If a UE would transmit SR in a resource using PUCCH format 0 and HARQ-ACK information bits in a resource using
PUCCH format 1 in a slot, the UE transmits only a PUCCH with the HARQ-ACK information bits in the resource using
PUCCH format 1.

If the UE would transmit positive SR in a first resource using PUCCH format 1 and at most two HARQ-ACK
information bits in a second resource using PUCCH format 1 in a slot, the UE transmits a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK
information bits in the first resource using PUCCH format 1 as described in clause 9.2.3. If a UE would not transmit a
positive SR in a resource using PUCCH format 1 and would transmit at most two HARQ-ACK information bits in a
resource using PUCCH format 1 in a slot, the UE transmits a PUCCH in the resource using PUCCH format 1 for
HARQ-ACK information as described in clause 9.2.3.

If a UE would transmit a PUCCH with OACK HARQ-ACK information bits in a resource using PUCCH format 2 or
PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4 in a slot, as described in clauses 9.2.1 and 9.2.3, log 2 (K + 1) bits representing
a negative or positive SR, in ascending order of the values of schedulingRequestResourceId, a
schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-BFR-SCell, and a schedulingRequestResourceId
associated with schedulingRequestID-LBT-SCell, are appended to the HARQ-ACK information bits and the UE
transmits the combined OUCI = OACK+ log2(K +1) UCI bits in a PUCCH using a resource with PUCCH format 2 or
PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4 that the UE determines as described in clauses 9.2.1 and 9.2.3. If one of the SRs
is a positive LRR, the value of the log 2 (K + 1) bits indicates the positive LRR. An all-zero value for the
log 2 (K + 1) bits represents a negative SR value across all  SRs.

If a UE would transmit a PUCCH with OCSI CSI report bits in a resource using PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3 or
PUCCH format 4 in a slot, log 2 (K + 1) bits representing corresponding negative or positive SR, in ascending order of
the values of schedulingRequestResourceId, a schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-
BFR-SCell, and a schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-LBT-SCell, are prepended to the
CSI information bits as described in clause 9.2.5.2 and the UE transmits a PUCCH with the combined
OUCI = log2 (K + 1) + OCSI UCI bits in a resource using the PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4
for CSI reporting. If one of the SRs is a positive LRR, the value of the log 2 (K + 1) bits indicates the positive LRR.
An all-zero value for the log2 (K + 1) bits represents a negative SR value across all SRs.

equal to a number of PRBs provided respectively by nrofPRBs in PUCCH-format2 or nrofPRBs in PUCCH-format3

9.2.5.2 UE procedure for multiplexing HARQ-ACK/SR/CSI in a PUCCH


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 SPS PDSCH release or in response to a SCell dormancy
indication, 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.

Denote as

- OACK a total number of HARQ-ACK information bits, if any

- O SR a total number of SR bits. O SR = 0 if there is no scheduling request bit; otherwise, OSR = log 2 (K + 1) as
described in clause 9.2.5.1

TS 38.214], and NCSI is a number of CSI reports that include overlapping CSI reports

- OCRC = OCRC,CSI-part1 + OCRC,CSI-part2, where OCRC, CSI-part1 is a number of CRC bits, if any, for encoding HARQ-
ACK, SR and Part 1 CSI report bits and OCRC, CSI -part2 is a number of CRC bits, if any, for encoding Part 2 CSI
report bits

In the following

9.2.6 PUCCH repetition procedure


 repeat
For PUCCH formats 1, 3, or 4, a UE can be configured a number of slots, PUCCH , for repetitions of a PUCCH
transmission by respective nrofSlots. If a UE is provided a PUCCH-config that includes subslotLengthForPUCCH, the
UE does not expect the PUCCH-config to include nrofSlots.

For  repeat > 1,


PUCCH

- the UE repeats the PUCCH transmission with the UCI over  repeat
PUCCH
slots

-  repeat
a PUCCH transmission in each of the PUCCH slots has a same number of consecutive symbols, as provided by
nrofSymbols in PUCCH-format1, nrofSymbols in PUCCH-format3, or nrofSymbols in PUCCH-format4

-  repeat
a PUCCH transmission in each of the PUCCH slots has a same first symbol, as provided by startingSymbolIndex
in PUCCH-format1, startingSymbolIndex in PUCCH-format3, or startingSymbolIndex in PUCCH-format4

- the UE is configured by interslotFrequencyHopping whether or not to perform frequency hopping for PUCCH
transmissions in different slots

- if the UE is configured to perform frequency hopping for PUCCH transmissions across different slots

- the UE performs frequency hopping per slot

- the UE transmits the PUCCH starting from a first PRB, provided by startingPRB, in slots with even
number and starting from the second PRB, provided by secondHopPRB, in slots with odd number. The
slot indicated to the UE for the first PUCCH transmission has number 0 and each subsequent slot until the
 repeat
UE transmits the PUCCH in PUCCH slots is counted regardless of whether or not the UE transmits the
PUCCH in the slot

- the UE does not expect to be configured to perform frequency hopping for a PUCCH transmission within
a slot

- If the UE is not configured to perform frequency hopping for PUCCH transmissions across different slots and
if the UE is configured to perform frequency hopping for a PUCCH transmission within a slot, the frequency
hopping pattern between the first PRB and the second PRB is same within each slot

If the UE determines that, for a PUCCH transmission in a slot, the number of symbols available for the PUCCH
transmission is smaller than the value provided by nrofSymbols for the corresponding PUCCH format, the UE does not
transmit the PUCCH in the slot.

A SS/PBCH block symbol is a symbol of an SS/PBCH block with candidate SS/PBCH block index corresponding to
the SS/PBCH block index indicated to a UE by ssb-PositionsInBurst in SIB1 or ssb-PositionsInBurst in
ServingCellConfigCommon, as described in clause 4.1.

 repeat
For unpaired spectrum, the UE determines the PUCCH slots for a PUCCH transmission starting from a slot indicated to
the UE as described in clause 9.2.3 for HARQ-ACK reporting, or a slot determined as described in clause 9.2.4 for SR
reporting or in clause 5.2.1.4 of [6, TS 38.214] for CSI reporting and having

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 100 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

- an UL symbol, as described in clause 11.1, or flexible symbol that is not SS/PBCH block symbol provided by
startingSymbolIndex in PUCCH-format1, or in PUCCH-format3, or in PUCCH-format4 as a first symbol, and

- consecutive UL symbols, as described in clause 11.1, or flexible symbols that are not SS/PBCH block symbols,
starting from the first symbol, equal to or larger than a number of symbols provided by nrofsymbols in PUCCH-
format1, or in PUCCH-format3, or in PUCCH-format4

 repeat
For paired spectrum or supplementary uplink band, the UE determines the PUCCH slots for a PUCCH transmission as
 repeat
the PUCCH consecutive slots starting from a slot indicated to the UE as described in clause 9.2.3 for HARQ-ACK
reporting, or a slot determined as described in clause 9.2.4 for SR reporting or in clause 5.2.1.4 of [6, TS 38.214] for
CSI reporting.

 repeat
If a UE would transmit a PUCCH over a first number PUCCH > 1 of slots and the UE would transmit a PUSCH with
repetition Type A over a second number of slots, and the PUCCH transmission would overlap with the PUSCH
transmission in one or more slots, and the conditions in clause 9.2.5 for multiplexing the UCI in the PUSCH are
satisfied in the overlapping slots, the UE transmits the PUCCH and does not transmit the PUSCH in the overlapping
slots.

 repeat
If a UE would transmit a PUCCH over a first number PUCCH > 1 of slots and the UE would transmit a PUSCH with
repetition Type B over a second number of slots, and the PUCCH transmission would overlap with actual PUSCH
repetitions in one or more slots, and the conditions in clause 9.2.5 for multiplexing the UCI in the PUSCH are satisfied
for the overlapping actual PUSCH repetitions, the UE transmits the PUCCH and does not transmit the overlapping
actual PUSCH repetitions.

 repeat
A UE does not multiplex different UCI types in a PUCCH transmission with repetitions over PUCCH > 1 slots. If a UE
would transmit a first PUCCH over more than one slot and at least a second PUCCH over one or more slots, and the
transmissions of the first PUCCH and the second PUCCH would overlap in a number of slots then, for each slot of the
number of slots and with UCI type priority of HARQ-ACK > SR > CSI with higher priority > CSI with lower priority

- the UE does not expect the first PUCCH and any of the second PUCCHs to start at a same slot and include a UCI
type with same priority

- if the first PUCCH and any of the second PUCCHs include a UCI type with same priority, the UE transmits the
PUCCH starting at an earlier slot and does not transmit the PUCCH starting at a later slot

- if the first PUCCH and any of the second PUCCHs do not include a UCI type with same priority, the UE
transmits the PUCCH that includes the UCI type with higher priority and does not transmit the PUCCH that
include the UCI type with lower priority

A UE does not expect a PUCCH that is in response to a DCI format detection to overlap with any other PUCCH that
does not satisfy the corresponding timing conditions in clause 9.2.5.

 repeat
If a UE would transmit a PUCCH over PUCCH slots and the UE does not transmit the PUCCH in a slot from the  repeat
 repeat
PUCCH

slots due to overlapping with another PUCCH transmission in the slot, the UE counts the slot in the number of PUCCH

slots.

 repeat
For DAPS operation, if a UE would transmit a PUCCH over PUCCH slots on the source MCG and the UE does not
௥௘௣௘௔௧
transmit the PUCCH in a slot from the ௉௎஼஼ு slots due to overlapping in time with UE transmission on the target
௥௘௣௘௔௧

MCG in the slot, the UE counts the slot in the number of ௉௎஼஼ு slots.

9.3 UCI reporting in physical uplink shared channel


Offset values are defined for a UE to determine a number of resources for multiplexing HARQ-ACK information and
for multiplexing CSI reports in a PUSCH. Offset values are also defined for multiplexing CG-UCI [5, TS 38.212] in a
CG-PUSCH. The offset values are signalled to a UE either by a DCI format scheduling the PUSCH transmission or by
higher layers.

If a DCI format that does not include a beta_offset indicator field schedules the PUSCH transmission from the UE and
, β offset , and β offset values that are
HARQ − ACK CSI-1 CSI-2
the UE is provided betaOffsets = 'semiStatic', the UE applies the β offset
provided by betaOffsets = 'semiStatic' for the corresponding HARQ-ACK information, Part 1 CSI reports and Part 2
CSI reports.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 101 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

If the PUSCH transmission is with a configured grant and the UE is provided CG-UCI-OnPUSCH= 'semiStatic', the UE
, β offset , and β offset values that are provided by CG-UCI-OnPUSCH = 'semiStatic' for the
HARQ − ACK CSI-1 CSI-2
applies the β offset
corresponding HARQ-ACK information, Part 1 CSI reports and Part 2 CSI reports.

If the PUSCH is scheduled by DCI format 0_0 and the UE is provided betaOffsets = 'dynamic', the UE applies the
HARQ − ACK
β offset , β offset
CSI -1
, and β offset
CSI - 2
values that are determined from the first value of betaOffsets = 'dynamic'.

If the PUSCH is a configured grant Type 2 PUSCH activated by DCI format 0_0 and the UE is provided CG-UCI-
HARQ − ACK
OnPUSCH ='dynamic', the UE applies the β offset , β offset
CSI -1
, and β offset
CSI - 2
values that are determined from the first
value of CG-UCI-OnPUSCH = 'dynamic'.
HARQ − ACK
HARQ-ACK information offsets β offset are configured to values according to Table 9.3-1. The betaOffsetACK-
HARQ −ACK HARQ −ACK
Index1, betaOffsetACK-Index2, and betaOffsetACK-Index3 respectively provide indexes I offset,0 , I offset,1 , and
HARQ −ACK
I offset,2 for the UE to use if the UE multiplexes up to 2 HARQ-ACK information bits, more than 2 and up to 11
HARQ-ACK information bits, and more than 11 bits in the PUSCH, respectively.

Part 1 CSI report and Part 2 CSI report offsets β offset and β offset , respectively, are configured to values according to
CSI-1 CSI-2

CSI-1
Table 9.3-2. The betaOffsetCSI-Part1-Index1 and betaOffsetCSI-Part2-Index1 respectively provide indexes I offset,0 and
CSI- 2
I offset,0 for the UE to use if the UE multiplexes up to 11 bits for Part 1 CSI reports or Part 2 CSI reports in the PUSCH.
CSI -1 CSI- 2
The betaOffsetCSI-Part1-Index2 and betaOffsetCSI-Part2-Index2 respectively provide indexes I offset,1 or I offset,1 for the
UE to use if the UE multiplexes more than 11 bits for Part 1 CSI reports or Part 2 CSI reports in the PUSCH.

If a DCI format that includes a beta_offset indicator field with one bit or two bits, as configured by uci-OnPUSCH,
schedules the PUSCH transmission from the UE, the UE is provided by each of {betaOffsetACK-Index1,
HARQ−ACK
betaOffsetACK-Index2, betaOffsetACK-Index3} a set of two or four I offset indexes, by each of {betaOffsetCSI-
CSI -1
Part1-Index1, betaOffsetCSI-Part1-Index2} a set of two or four I offset indexes, and by each of {betaOffsetCSI-Part2-
CSI-2
Index1, betaOffsetCSI-Part2-Index2} a set of two or four I indexes from Tables 9.3-1 and 9.3-2, respectively, for
offset
multiplexing HARQ-ACK information, Part 1 CSI reports, and Part 2 CSI reports, respectively, in the PUSCH
HARQ−ACK CSI -1 CSI-2
transmission. The beta_offset indicator field indicates a I offset value, a I offset value and a I offset value from the
respective sets of values, with the mapping defined in Table 9.3-3 and in Table 9.3-3A.

For a PUSCH transmission that is configured by a ConfiguredGrantConfig, and includes CG-UCI, the UE multiplexes
CG-UCI in the PUSCH transmission if the UE is provided by betaOffsetCG-UCI a offset CG-UCI

value, from a set of values,


with the mapping defined in Table 9.3-1. If the UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH transmission,
as described in clause 9.2.5, the UE jointly encodes the HARQ-ACK information and the CG-UCI [5, TS 38.212] and
determines a number of resources for multiplexing the combined information in a PUSCH using ୭୤୤ୱୣ୲
ୌ୅ୖ୕ି୅େ୏ which

10 UE procedure for receiving control information


If the UE is configured with a SCG, the UE shall apply the procedures described in this clause for both MCG and SCG
except for PDCCH monitoring in Type0/0A/2-PDCCH CSS sets where the UE is not required to apply the procedures
in this clause for the SCG

- When the procedures are applied for MCG, the terms 'secondary cell', 'secondary cells' , 'serving cell', 'serving
cells' in this clause refer to secondary cell, secondary cells, serving cell, serving cells belonging to the MCG
respectively.

- When the procedures are applied for SCG, the terms 'secondary cell', 'secondary cells', 'serving cell', 'serving
cells' in this clause refer to secondary cell, secondary cells (not including PSCell), serving cell, serving cells
belonging to the SCG respectively. The term 'primary cell' in this clause refers to the PSCell of the SCG.

A UE monitors a set of PDCCH candidates in one or more CORESETs on the active DL BWP on each activated
serving cell configured with PDCCH monitoring according to corresponding search space sets where monitoring
implies decoding each PDCCH candidate according to the monitored DCI formats.

If a UE is provided monitoringCapabilityConfig for a serving cell, the UE obtains an indication to monitor PDCCH on
the serving cell for a maximum number of PDCCH candidates and non-overlapping CCEs

- per slot, as in Tables 10.1-2 and 10.1-3, if monitoringCapabilityConfig = r15monitoringcapability, or

- per span, as in Tables 10.1-2A and 10.1-3A, if monitoringCapabilityConfig = r16monitoringcapability

If the UE is not provided monitoringCapabilityConfig, the UE monitors PDCCH on the serving cell for a maximum
number of PDCCH candidates and non-overlapping CCEs per slot.

A UE can indicate a capability to monitor PDCCH according to one or more of the combinations X, Y = (2, 2), (4, 3),  

and (7, 3) per SCS configuration of = 0 and = 1. A span is a number of consecutive symbols in a slot where the
UE is configured to monitor PDCCH. Each PDCCH monitoring occasion is within one span. If a UE monitors PDCCH
 
on a cell according to combination X, Y , the UE supports PDCCH monitoring occasions in any symbol of a slot with

minimum time separation of symbols between the first symbol of two consecutive spans, including across slots. A
span starts at a first symbol where a PDCCH monitoring occasion starts and ends at a last symbol where a PDCCH
monitoring occasion ends, where the number of symbols of the span is up to . 
If a UE indicates a capability to monitor PDCCH according to multiple X, Y combinations and a configuration of
search space sets to the UE for PDCCH monitoring on a cell results to a separation of every two consecutive PDCCH
monitoring spans that is equal to or larger than the value of  for one or more of the multiple combinations X, Y, the
UE monitors PDCCH on the cell according to the combination X, Y, from the one or more combinations X, Y, that is
associated with the largest maximum number of ୔ୈେେୌ
௠௔௫ ሺ௑ ௒ሻ ఓ and  ௠௔௫ ሺ௑ ௒ሻ ఓ defined in Table 10.1-2A and Table 10.1-
୔ୈେେୌ

3A. The UE expects to monitor PDCCH according to the same combination X, Y in every slot on the active DL BWP
of a cell.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 105 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

A UE capability for PDCCH monitoring per slot or per span on an active DL BWP of a serving cell is defined by a
maximum number of PDCCH candidates and non-overlapped CCEs the UE can monitor per slot or per span,
respectively, on the active DL BWP of the serving cell.

For monitoring of a PDCCH candidate by a UE, if the UE

- has received ssb-PositionsInBurst in SIB1 and has not received ssb-PositionsInBurst in


ServingCellConfigCommon for a serving cell, and

- does not monitor PDCCH candidates in a Type0-PDCCH CSS set, and

- at least one RE for a PDCCH candidate overlaps with at least one RE of a candidate SS/PBCH block
corresponding to a SS/PBCH block index provided by ssb-PositionsInBurst in SIB1,

the UE is not required to monitor the PDCCH candidate.

For monitoring of a PDCCH candidate by a UE, if the UE

- has received ssb-PositionsInBurst in ServingCellConfigCommon for a serving cell, and

- does not monitor PDCCH candidates in a Type0-PDCCH CSS set, and

- at least one RE for a PDCCH candidate overlaps with at least one RE of a candidate SS/PBCH block
corresponding to a SS/PBCH block index provided by ssb-PositionsInBurst in ServingCellConfigCommon,

the UE is not required to monitor the PDCCH candidate.

If a UE monitors the PDCCH candidate for a Type0-PDCCH CSS set on the serving cell according to the procedure
described in clause 13, the UE may assume that no SS/PBCH block is transmitted in REs used for monitoring the
PDCCH candidate on the serving cell.

If at least one RE of a PDCCH candidate for a UE on the serving cell overlaps with at least one RE of lte-CRS-
ToMatchAround, or of LTE-CRS-PatternList, the UE is not required to monitor the PDCCH candidate.

If a UE is provided availableRB-SetsPerCell, the UE is not required to monitor PDCCH candidates that overlap with
any RB from RB sets that are indicated as unavailable for receptions by an available RB set indicator field in DCI
format 2_0 as described in clause 11.1.1. If the UE does not obtain the available RB set indicator for a symbol, the UE
monitors PDCCH candidates on all RB sets in the symbol.

If a UE can support

- 
DL
a first set of cells,0 serving cells where the UE is either not provided coresetPoolIndex or is provided
coresetPoolIndex with a single value for all CORESETs on all DL BWPs of each scheduling cell from the first
set of serving cells, and

serving cells where the UE is not provided coresetPoolIndex or is provided
coresetPoolIndex with a value 0 for a first CORESET, and with a value 1 for a second CORESET on any DL

provided monitoringCapabilityConfig for any downlink cell or if the UE is provided monitoringCapabilityConfig =
r15monitoringcapability for all downlink cells where the UE monitors PDCCH, the UE includes in UE-NR-Capability
an indication for a maximum number of PDCCH candidates and for a maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs the
UE can monitor per slot when the UE is configured for carrier aggregation operation over more than 4 cells. When a UE
is not configured for NR-DC operation, the UE determines a capability to monitor a maximum number of PDCCH

10.1 UE procedure for determining physical downlink control


channel assignment
A set of PDCCH candidates for a UE to monitor is defined in terms of PDCCH search space sets. A search space set
can be a CSS set or a USS set. A UE monitors PDCCH candidates in one or more of the following search spaces sets

- a Type0-PDCCH CSS set configured by pdcch-ConfigSIB1 in MIB or by searchSpaceSIB1 in PDCCH-


ConfigCommon or by searchSpaceZero in PDCCH-ConfigCommon for a DCI format with CRC scrambled by a
SI-RNTI on the primary cell of the MCG

- a Type0A-PDCCH CSS set configured by searchSpaceOtherSystemInformation in PDCCH-ConfigCommon for


a DCI format with CRC scrambled by a SI-RNTI on the primary cell of the MCG

- a Type1-PDCCH CSS set configured by ra-SearchSpace in PDCCH-ConfigCommon for a DCI format with
CRC scrambled by a RA-RNTI, a MsgB-RNTI, or a TC-RNTI on the primary cell

- a Type2-PDCCH CSS set configured by pagingSearchSpace in PDCCH-ConfigCommon for a DCI format with
CRC scrambled by a P-RNTI on the primary cell of the MCG

- a Type3-PDCCH CSS set configured by SearchSpace in PDCCH-Config with searchSpaceType = common for
DCI formats with CRC scrambled by INT-RNTI, SFI-RNTI, TPC-PUSCH-RNTI, TPC-PUCCH-RNTI, TPC-
SRS-RNTI, or CI-RNTI and, only for the primary cell, C-RNTI, MCS-C-RNTI, CS-RNTI(s), or PS-RNTI and

- a USS set configured by SearchSpace in PDCCH-Config with searchSpaceType = ue-Specific for DCI formats
with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI, MCS-C-RNTI, SP-CSI-RNTI, CS-RNTI(s), SL-RNTI, SL-CS-RNTI, or SL
Semi-Persistent Scheduling V-RNTI.

For a DL BWP, if a UE is not provided searchSpaceSIB1 for Type0-PDCCH CSS set by PDCCH-ConfigCommon, the
UE does not monitor PDCCH candidates for a Type0-PDCCH CSS set on the DL BWP. The Type0-PDCCH CSS set is
defined by the CCE aggregation levels and the number of PDCCH candidates per CCE aggregation level given in Table
10.1-1. If the active DL BWP and the initial DL BWP have same SCS and same CP length and the active DL BWP
includes all RBs of the CORESET with index 0, or the active DL BWP is the initial DL BWP, the CORESET

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 110 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

configured for Type0-PDCCH CSS set has CORESET index 0 and the Type0-PDCCH CSS set has search space set
index 0.

For a DL BWP, if a UE is not provided searchSpaceOtherSystemInformation for Type0A-PDCCH CSS set, the UE
does not monitor PDCCH for Type0A-PDCCH CSS set on the DL BWP. The CCE aggregation levels and the number
of PDCCH candidates per CCE aggregation level for Type0A-PDCCH CSS set are given in Table 10.1-1.

For a DL BWP, if a UE is not provided ra-SearchSpace for Type1-PDCCH CSS set, the UE does not monitor PDCCH
for Type1-PDCCH CSS set on the DL BWP. If the UE has not been provided a Type3-PDCCH CSS set or a USS set
and the UE has received a C-RNTI and has been provided a Type1-PDCCH CSS set, the UE monitors PDCCH
candidates for DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the C-RNTI in the Type1-PDCCH CSS set.

If a UE is not provided pagingSearchSpace for Type2-PDCCH CSS set, the UE does not monitor PDCCH for Type2-
PDCCH CSS set on the DL BWP. The CCE aggregation levels and the number of PDCCH candidates per CCE
aggregation level for Type2-PDCCH CSS set are given in Table 10.1-1.

If a UE is provided a zero value for searchSpaceID in PDCCH-ConfigCommon for a Type0/0A/2-PDCCH CSS set, the
UE determines monitoring occasions for PDCCH candidates of the Type0/0A/2-PDCCH CSS set as described in clause
13, and the UE is provided a C-RNTI, the UE monitors PDCCH candidates only at monitoring occasions associated
with a SS/PBCH block, where the SS/PBCH block is determined by the most recent of

- a MAC CE activation command indicating a TCI state of the active BWP that includes a CORESET with index
0, as described in [6, TS 38.214], where the TCI-state includes a CSI-RS which is quasi-co-located with the
SS/PBCH block, or

- a random access procedure that is not initiated by a PDCCH order that triggers a contention-free random access
procedure

If a UE monitors PDCCH candidates for DCI formats with CRC scrambled by a C-RNTI and the UE is provided a non-
zero value for searchSpaceID in PDCCH-ConfigCommon for a Type0/0A/2-PDCCH CSS set, the UE determines
monitoring occasions for PDCCH candidates of the Type0/0A/2-PDCCH CSS set based on the search space set
associated with the value of searchSpaceID.

The UE may assume that the DM-RS antenna port associated with PDCCH receptions in the CORESET configured by
pdcch-ConfigSIB1 in MIB, the DM-RS antenna port associated with corresponding PDSCH receptions, and the
corresponding SS/PBCH block are quasi co-located with respect to average gain, quasi co-location 'typeA' and 'typeD'
properties, when applicable [6, TS 38.214], if the UE is not provided a TCI state indicating quasi co-location
information of the DM-RS antenna port for PDCCH reception in the CORESET. The value for the DM-RS scrambling
sequence initialization is the cell ID. A SCS is provided by subCarrierSpacingCommon in MIB.

For single cell operation or for operation with carrier aggregation in a same frequency band, a UE does not expect to
monitor a PDCCH in a Type0/0A/2/3-PDCCH CSS set or in a USS set if a DM-RS for monitoring a PDCCH in a
Type1-PDCCH CSS set is not configured with same qcl-Type set to 'typeD' properties [6, TS 38.214] with a DM-RS for
monitoring the PDCCH in the Type0/0A/2/3-PDCCH CSS set or in the USS set, and if the PDCCH or an associated
PDSCH overlaps in at least one symbol with a PDCCH the UE monitors in a Type1-PDCCH CSS set or with an
associated PDSCH.

If a UE is provided

- one or more search space sets by corresponding one or more of searchSpaceZero, searchSpaceSIB1,
searchSpaceOtherSystemInformation, pagingSearchSpace, ra-SearchSpace, and

- a C-RNTI, an MCS-C-RNTI, or a CS-RNTI

the UE monitors PDCCH candidates for DCI format 0_0 and DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by the C-RNTI, the
MCS-C-RNTI, or the CS-RNTI in the one or more search space sets in a slot where the UE monitors PDCCH
candidates for at least a DCI format 0_0 or a DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by SI-RNTI, RA-RNTI, MsgB-
RNTI, or P-RNTI.

If a UE is provided

- one or more search space sets by corresponding one or more of searchSpaceZero, searchSpaceSIB1,
searchSpaceOtherSystemInformation, pagingSearchSpace, ra-SearchSpace, or a CSS set by PDCCH-Config,
and

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 111 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

- a SI-RNTI, a P-RNTI, a RA-RNTI, a MsgB-RNTI, a SFI-RNTI, an INT-RNTI, a TPC-PUSCH-RNTI, a TPC-


PUCCH-RNTI, or a TPC-SRS-RNTI

then, for a RNTI from any of these RNTIs, the UE does not expect to process information from more than one DCI
format with CRC scrambled with the RNTI per slot.

For each DL BWP configured to a UE in a serving cell, the UE can be provided by higher layer signalling with

- ≤ 3 CORESETs if coresetPoolIndex is not provided, or if a value of coresetPoolIndex is same for all


CORESETs if coresetPoolIndex is provided

-  ≤ 5 CORESETs if coresetPoolIndex is not provided for a first CORESET, or is provided and has a value 0 for
a first CORESET, and is provided and has a value 1 for a second CORESET

For each CORESET, the UE is provided the following by ControlResourceSet:

- 
a CORESET index , by controlResourceSetId or by controlResourceSetId-v1610, where

- 
0 < < 12 if coresetPoolIndex is not provided, or if a value of coresetPoolIndex is same for all CORESETs
if coresetPoolIndex is provided;

- 
0 < < 16 if coresetPoolIndex is not provided for a first CORESET, or is provided and has a value 0 for a
first CORESET, and is provided and has a value 1 for a second CORESET;

- a DM-RS scrambling sequence initialization value by pdcch-DMRS-ScramblingID;

- a precoder granularity for a number of REGs in the frequency domain where the UE can assume use of a same
DM-RS precoder by precoderGranularity;

- a number of consecutive symbols provided by duration;

quasi co-location information of the DM-RS antenna port for PDCCH reception in a respective CORESET;

- an indication for a presence or absence of a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field for a DCI format,
other than DCI format 1_0, that schedules PDSCH receptions or indicates SPS PDSCH release or indicates SCell
dormancy or indicates a request for a Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook report without scheduling PDSCH and is

transmitted by a PDCCH in CORESET , by tci-PresentInDCI or tci-PresentDCI-1-2.

When precoderGranularity = allContiguousRBs, a UE does not expect

- to be configured a set of resource blocks of a CORESET that includes more than four sub-sets of resource blocks
that are not contiguous in frequency

- any RE of a CORESET to overlap with any RE determined from lte-CRS-ToMatchAround, or from LTE-CRS-
PatternList, or with any RE of a SS/PBCH block.

For each CORESET in a DL BWP of a serving cell, a respective frequencyDomainResources provides a bitmap

- if a CORESET is not associated with any search space set configured with freqMonitorLocations, the bits of the
bitmap have a one-to-one mapping with non-overlapping groups of 6 consecutive PRBs, in ascending order of
the PRB index in the DL BWP bandwidth of ୖ୆ 
୆୛୔ PRBs with starting common RB position ୆୛୔ ୱ୲ୟ୰୲ , where the

⌈

first common RB of the first group of 6 PRBs has common RB index 6 ⋅ ୆୛୔ /6 if rb-Offset is not provided,

ETSI

or the first common RB of the first group of 6 PRBs has common RB index ୱ୲ୟ୰୲ + ୖ୆
୆୛୔ ୭୤୤ୱୣ୲ where ୖ୆

provided by rb-Offset.

- if a CORESET is associated with at least one search space set configured with freqMonitorLocations, the first
 ୱ୧୸ୣ,ୱୣ୲଴ bits of the bitmap have a one-to-one mapping with non-overlapping groups of 6 consecutive PRBs, in

0 for the DL BWP, and ୖ୆ is provided by rb-Offset or ୖ୆ = 0 if rb-Offset is not provided. If a UE is
provided RB sets in the DL BWP, the UE expects that the RBs of the CORESET are within the union of the
PRBs in the RB sets of the DL BWP.

For a CORESET other than a CORESET with index 0,

- if a UE has not been provided a configuration of TCI state(s) by tci-StatesPDCCH-ToAddList and tci-
StatesPDCCH-ToReleaseList for the CORESET, or has been provided initial configuration of more than one TCI
states for the CORESET by tci-StatesPDCCH-ToAddList and tci-StatesPDCCH-ToReleaseList but has not
received a MAC CE activation command for one of the TCI states as described in [11, TS 38.321], the UE
assumes that the DM-RS antenna port associated with PDCCH receptions is quasi co-located with the SS/PBCH
block the UE identified during the initial access procedure;

- if a UE has been provided a configuration of more than one TCI states by tci-StatesPDCCH-ToAddList and tci-
StatesPDCCH-ToReleaseList for the CORESET as part of Reconfiguration with sync procedure as described in
[12, TS 38.331] but has not received a MAC CE activation command for one of the TCI states as described in
[11, TS 38.321], the UE assumes that the DM-RS antenna port associated with PDCCH receptions is quasi co-
located with the SS/PBCH block or the CSI-RS resource the UE identified during the random access procedure
initiated by the Reconfiguration with sync procedure as described in [12, TS 38.331].

For a CORESET with index 0, the UE assumes that a DM-RS antenna port for PDCCH receptions in the CORESET is
quasi co-located with

- the one or more DL RS configured by a TCI state, where the TCI state is indicated by a MAC CE activation
command for the CORESET, if any, or

- a SS/PBCH block the UE identified during a most recent random access procedure not initiated by a PDCCH
order that triggers a contention-free random access procedure, if no MAC CE activation command indicating a
TCI state for the CORESET is received after the most recent random access procedure.

For a CORESET other than a CORESET with index 0, if a UE is provided a single TCI state for a CORESET, or if the
UE receives a MAC CE activation command for one of the provided TCI states for a CORESET, the UE assumes that
the DM-RS antenna port associated with PDCCH receptions in the CORESET is quasi co-located with the one or more
DL RS configured by the TCI state. For a CORESET with index 0, the UE expects that a CSI-RS configured with qcl-
Type set to 'typeD' in a TCI state indicated by a MAC CE activation command for the CORESET is provided by a
SS/PBCH block

- if the UE receives a MAC CE activation command for one of the TCI states, the UE applies the activation
 ୱ୳ୠ୤୰ୟ୫ୣ,ఓ where is the slot where the UE would transmit a

command in the first slot that is after slot + 3 ୱ୪୭୲ 
PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information for the PDSCH providing the activation command and is the SCS
configuration for the PUCCH. The active BWP is defined as the active BWP in the slot when the activation
command is applied.

If the UE is provided by simultaneousTCI-UpdateList1 or simultaneousTCI-UpdateList2 up to two lists of cells for


simultaneous TCI state activation, the UE applies the antenna port quasi co-location provided by TCI-States with same
activated tci-StateID value to CORESETs with a same index in all configured DL BWPs of all configured cells in a list
determined from a serving cell index, where tci-StateID, the CORESET index and the serving cell index are provided
by a MAC CE command.


For each DL BWP configured to a UE in a serving cell, the UE is provided by higher layers with ≤ 10 search space

sets where, for each search space set from the search space sets, the UE is provided the following by SearchSpace:

- 
a search space set index , 0 <  < 40 , by searchSpaceId

- an indication by dci-Format2-0 to monitor one or two PDCCH candidates, or to monitor one PDCCH
candidate per RB set if the UE is provided freqMonitorLocations for the search space set, for DCI format 2_0
and a corresponding CCE aggregation level

format 3_1, or for DCI format 3_0 and DCI format 3_1

- a bitmap by freqMonitorLocations, if provided, to indicate an index of one or more RB sets for the search space
   
set , where the MSB in the bitmap corresponds to RB set − 1 in the DL BWP. For RB set indicated in the
bitmap, the first PRB of the frequency domain monitoring location confined within the RB set is given by
 ୱ୲ୟ୰୲,ఓ ୭୤୤ୱୣ୲
 ୱ୲ୟ୰୲,ఓ 
௦଴ା௞,ୈ୐ + ୖ୆ , where ௦଴ା௞,ୈ୐ is the index of first common RB of the RB set [6, TS 38.214], and
 ୭୤୤ୱୣ୲
ୖ୆ is provided by rb-Offset or ୖ୆  ୭୤୤ୱୣ୲ = 0 if rb-Offset is not provided. For each RB set with a corresponding
value of 1 in the bitmap, the frequency domain resource allocation pattern for the monitoring location is
determined based on the first ୖ୆ୋୱ୧୸ୣ,ୱୣ୲ ଴ bits in frequencyDomainResources provided by the associated
CORESET configuration.

If the monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot indicates to a UE to monitor PDCCH in a subset of up to three consecutive symbols


that are same in every slot where the UE monitors PDCCH for all search space sets, the UE does not expect to be
configured with a PDCCH SCS other than 15 kHz if the subset includes at least one symbol after the third symbol.

A UE does not expect to be provided a first symbol and a number of consecutive symbols for a CORESET that results
to a PDCCH candidate mapping to symbols of different slots.

A UE does not expect any two PDCCH monitoring occasions on an active DL BWP, for a same search space set or for
different search space sets, in a same CORESET to be separated by a non-zero number of symbols that is smaller than
the CORESET duration.

A UE determines a PDCCH monitoring occasion on an active DL BWP from the PDCCH monitoring periodicity, the

PDCCH monitoring offset, and the PDCCH monitoring pattern within a slot. For search space set , the UE determines

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 114 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

that a PDCCH monitoring occasion(s) exists in a slot with number ௦ఓ௙ [4, TS 38.211] in a frame with number ௙ if (௙ .

If a UE is configured with CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig for a serving cell the carrier indicator field value corresponds
to the value indicated by CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig.

For an active DL BWP of a serving cell on which a UE monitors PDCCH candidates in a USS, if the UE is not
configured with a carrier indicator field, the UE monitors the PDCCH candidates without carrier indicator field. For an
active DL BWP of a serving cell on which a UE monitors PDCCH candidates in a USS, if a UE is configured with a
carrier indicator field, the UE monitors the PDCCH candidates with carrier indicator field.

A UE does not expect to monitor PDCCH candidates on an active DL BWP of a secondary cell if the UE is configured
to monitor PDCCH candidates with carrier indicator field corresponding to that secondary cell in another serving cell.
For the active DL BWP of a serving cell on which the UE monitors PDCCH candidates, the UE monitors PDCCH
candidates at least for the same serving cell.

If a UE

- is configured to monitor a first PDCCH candidate for a DCI format 0_0 and a DCI format 1_0 from a CSS set
and a second PDCCH candidate for a DCI format 0_0 and a DCI format 1_0 from a USS set in a CORESET
with index zero on an active DL BWP, and

- the DCI formats 0_0/1_0 associated with the first PDCCH candidate and the DCI formats 0_0/1_0 associated
with the second PDCCH candidate have same size, and

- the UE receives the first PDCCH candidate and the second PDCCH candidate over a same set of CCEs, and

- the first PDCCH candidate and the second PDCCH candidate have identical scrambling, and

- the DCI formats 0_0/1_0 for the first PDCCH candidate and the DCI formats 0_0/1_0 for the second PDCCH
candidate have CRC scrambled by either C-RNTI, or MCS-C-RNTI, or CS-RNTI

the UE decodes only the DCI formats 0_0/1_0 associated with the first PDCCH candidate.

If a UE detects a DCI format with inconsistent information, the UE discards all the information in the DCI format.

A UE configured with a bandwidth part indicator in a DCI format determines, in case of an active DL BWP or of an
active UL BWP change, that the information in the DCI format is applicable to the new active DL BWP or UL BWP,
respectively, as described in clause 12.

For unpaired spectrum operation, if a UE is not configured for PUSCH/PUCCH transmission on serving cell ଶ , the UE
does not expect to monitor PDCCH on serving cell ଵ if the PDCCH overlaps in time with SRS transmission (including
any interruption due to uplink or downlink RF retuning time [10, TS 38.133]) on serving cell ଶ and if the UE is not
capable of simultaneous reception and transmission on serving cell ଵ and serving cell ଶ .

If a UE is provided resourceBlocks and symbolsInResourceBlock in RateMatchPattern, or if the UE is additionally


provided periodicityAndPattern in RateMatchPattern, the UE can determine a set of RBs in symbols of a slot that are
not available for PDSCH reception as described in [6, TS 38.214]. If a PDCCH candidate in a slot is mapped to one or
more REs that overlap with REs of any RB in the set of RBs in symbols of the slot, the UE does not expect to monitor
the PDCCH candidate.

A UE does not expect to be configured with dci-FormatsSL and dci-FormatsExt in a same USS.

10.2 PDCCH validation for DL SPS and UL grant Type 2


A UE validates, for scheduling activation or scheduling release, a DL SPS assignment PDCCH or a configured UL
grant Type 2 PDCCH if

- the CRC of a corresponding DCI format is scrambled with a CS-RNTI provided by cs-RNTI, and

- the new data indicator field in the DCI format for the enabled transport block is set to '0', and

- the DFI flag field, if present, in the DCI format is set to '0', and

- if validation is for scheduling activation and if the PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field in the DCI
format is present, the PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field does not provide an inapplicable value
from dl-DataToUL-ACK-r16.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 122 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

If a UE is provided a single configuration for UL grant Type 2 PUSCH or for SPS PDSCH, validation of the DCI
format is achieved if all fields for the DCI format are set according to Table 10.2-1 or Table 10.2-2.

If a UE is provided more than one configurations for UL grant Type 2 PUSCH or for SPS PDSCH, a value of the
HARQ process number field in a DCI format indicates an activation for a corresponding UL grant Type 2 PUSCH or
for a SPS PDSCH configuration with a same value as provided by ConfiguredGrantConfigIndex or by sps-ConfigIndex,
respectively. Validation of the DCI format is achieved if the RV field for the DCI format is set as in Table 10.2-3.

If a UE is provided more than one configuration for UL grant Type 2 PUSCH or for SPS PDSCH

- if the UE is provided ConfiguredGrantConfigType2DeactivationStateList or sps-ConfigDeactivationStateList, a


value of the HARQ process number field in a DCI format indicates a corresponding entry for scheduling release
of one or more UL grant Type 2 PUSCH or SPS PDSCH configurations

- if the UE is not provided ConfiguredGrantConfigType2DeactivationStateList or sps-


ConfigDeactivationStateList, a value of the HARQ process number field in a DCI format indicates a release for a
corresponding UL grant Type 2 PUSCH or for a SPS PDSCH configuration with a same value as provided by
ConfiguredGrantConfigIndex or by sps-ConfigIndex, respectively

Validation of the DCI format is achieved if all fields for the DCI format are set according to Table 10.2-4.

If validation is achieved, the UE considers the information in the DCI format as a valid activation or valid release of DL
SPS or configured UL grant Type 2. If validation is not achieved, the UE discards all the information in the DCI format.

A UE is expected to provide HARQ-ACK information in response to a SPS PDSCH release after symbols from the
last symbol of a PDCCH providing the SPS PDSCH release. If processingType2Enabled of PDSCH-ServingCellConfig
is set to enable for the serving cell with the PDCCH providing the SPS PDSCH release, = 5 for  = 0, = 5.5 for
 = 1, and = 11 for  = 2, otherwise, = 10 for  = 0, = 12 for  = 1, = 22 for  = 2, and = 25 for
 = 3, wherein  corresponds to the smallest SCS configuration between the SCS configuration of the PDCCH
providing the SPS PDSCH release and the SCS configuration of a PUCCH carrying the HARQ-ACK information in
response to a SPS PDSCH release.

10.2A PDCCH validation for SL configured grant Type 2


A UE validates, for scheduling activation or scheduling release, a SL configured grant Type 2 PDCCH if

- the CRC of a corresponding DCI format 3_0 is scrambled with a SL-CS-RNTI provided by sl-CS-RNTI, and

- the new data indicator field in the DCI format 3_0 for the enabled transport block is set to '0'

Validation of the DCI format 3_0 is achieved if all fields for the DCI format 3_0 are set according to Table 10.2A-1 or
Table 10.2A-2.

If validation is achieved, the UE considers the information in the DCI format 3_0 as a valid activation or valid release
of SL configured grant Type 2. If validation is not achieved, the UE discards all the information in the DCI format 3_0.

10.3 PDCCH monitoring indication and dormancy/non-dormancy


behaviour for SCells
A UE configured with DRX mode operation [11, TS 38.321] can be provided the following for detection of a DCI
format 2_6 in a PDCCH reception on the PCell or on the SpCell [12, TS 38.331]

- a PS-RNTI for DCI format 2_6 by ps-RNTI

- a number of search space sets, by dci-Format2-6, to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_6 on the
active DL BWP of the PCell or of the SpCell according to a common search space as described in clause 10.1

- a payload size for DCI format 2_6 by size-DCI-2-6

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 124 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

- a location in DCI format 2_6 of a Wake-up indication bit by ps-PositionDCI-2-6

- a '0' value for the Wake-up indication bit, when reported to higher layers, indicates to not start the drx-
onDurationTimer for the next long DRX cycle [11, TS 38.321]

- a '1' value for the Wake-up indication bit, when reported to higher layers, indicates to start the drx-
onDurationTimer for the next long DRX cycle [11, TS 38.321]

- a bitmap, when the UE is provided a number of groups of configured SCells by


dormancyGroupOutsideActiveTime, where

- the bitmap location is immediately after the Wake-up indication bit location

- the bitmap size is equal to the number of groups of configured SCells where each bit of the bitmap
corresponds to a group of configured SCells from the number of groups of configured SCells

- a '0' value for a bit of the bitmap indicates an active DL BWP, provided by dormantBWP-Id, for the UE [11,
TS38.321] for each activated SCell in the corresponding group of configured SCells

- a '1' value for a bit of the bitmap indicates

- an active DL BWP, provided by firstOutsideActiveTimeBWP-Id, for the UE for each activated SCell in
the corresponding group of configured SCells, if a current active DL BWP is the dormant DL BWP

- a current active DL BWP, for the UE for each activated SCell in the corresponding group of configured
SCells, if the current active DL BWP is not the dormant DL BWP

- the UE sets the active DL BWP to the indicated active DL BWP

- an offset by ps-Offset indicating a time, where the UE starts monitoring PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_6
according to the number of search space sets, prior to a slot where the drx-onDurationTimer would start on the
PCell or on the SpCell [11, TS 38.321]

- for each search space set, the PDCCH monitoring occasions are the ones in the first s slots indicated by
duration, or s = 1 slot if duration is not provided, starting from the first slot of the first s slots and ending
prior to the start of drx-onDurationTimer.

On PDCCH monitoring occasions associated with a same long DRX Cycle, a UE does not expect to detect more than
one DCI format 2_6 with different values of the Wake-up indication bit for the UE or with different values of the
bitmap for the UE.

The UE does not monitor PDCCH for detecting DCI format 2_6 during Active Time [11, TS 38.321].

If a UE reports for an active DL BWP a MinTimeGap value that is X slots prior to the beginning of a slot where the UE
would start the drx-onDurationTimer, the UE is not required to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_6 during
the X slots, where X corresponds to the MinTimeGap value of the SCS of the active DL BWP in Table 10.3-1.

120 2 24

If a UE is provided search space sets to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_6 in the active DL BWP of the
PCell or of the SpCell and the UE detects DCI format 2_6, the physical layer of a UE reports the value of the Wake-up
indication bit for the UE to higher layers [11, TS 38.321] for the next long DRX cycle.

If a UE is provided search space sets to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_6 in the active DL BWP of the
PCell or of the SpCell and the UE does not detect DCI format 2_6, the physical layer of the UE does not report a value
of the Wake-up indication bit to higher layers for the next long DRX cycle.

If a UE is provided search space sets to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_6 in the active DL BWP of the
PCell or of the SpCell and the UE

- is not required to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_6, as described in clauses 10, 11.1, 12, and in
clause 5.7 of [11, TS 38.321] for all corresponding PDCCH monitoring occasions outside Active Time prior to a
next long DRX cycle, or

- does not have any PDCCH monitoring occasions for detection of DCI format 2_6 outside Active Time of a next
long DRX cycle

the physical layer of the UE reports a value of 1 for the Wake-up indication bit to higher layers for the next long DRX
cycle.

If a UE is provided search space sets to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 1_1 and if
one or both of DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 1_1 include a SCell dormancy indication field,

- the SCell dormancy indication field is a bitmap with size equal to a number of groups of configured SCells,
provided by dormancyGroupWithinActiveTime,

- each bit of the bitmap corresponds to a group of configured SCells from the number of groups of configured
Scells

- if the UE detects a DCI format 0_1 or a DCI format 1_1 that does not include a carrier indicator field, or detects
a DCI format 0_1 or DCI format 1_1 that includes a carrier indicator field with value equal to 0

- a '0' value for a bit of the bitmap indicates an active DL BWP, provided by dormantBWP-Id, for the UE for each
activated SCell in the corresponding group of configured SCells

- a '1' value for a bit of the bitmap indicates

- an active DL BWP, provided by firstWithinActiveTimeBWP-Id, for the UE for each activated SCell in the
corresponding group of configured SCells, if a current active DL BWP is the dormant DL BWP

- a current active DL BWP, for the UE for each activated SCell in the corresponding group of configured
SCells, if the current active DL BWP is not the dormant DL BWP

- the UE sets the active DL BWP to the indicated active DL BWP

If a UE is provided search space sets to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 1_1, and if

- the CRC of DCI format 1_1 is scrambled by a C-RNTI or a MCS-C-RNTI, and if

- a one-shot HARQ-ACK request field is not present or has a '0' value, and if

- the UE detects a DCI format 1_1 on the primary cell that does not include a carrier indicator field, or detects a
DCI format 1_1 on the primary cell that includes a carrier indicator field with value equal to 0, and if

- resourceAllocation = resourceAllocationType0 and all bits of the frequency domain resource assignment field in
DCI format 1_1 are equal to 0, or

- resourceAllocation = resourceAllocationType1 and all bits of the frequency domain resource assignment field in
DCI format 1_1 are equal to 1, or

- resourceAllocation = dynamicSwitch and all bits of the frequency domain resource assignment field in DCI
format 1_1 are equal to 0 or 1

the UE considers the DCI format 1_1 as indicating SCell dormancy, not scheduling a PDSCH reception or indicating a
SPS PDSCH release, and for transport block 1 interprets the sequence of fields of

- modulation and coding scheme

- new data indicator

- redundancy version

and of

- HARQ process number

- antenna port(s)

- DMRS sequence initialization

as providing a bitmap to each configured SCell, in an ascending order of the SCell index, where

- a '0' value for a bit of the bitmap indicates an active DL BWP, provided by dormantBWP-Id, for the UE for a
corresponding activated SCell

- a '1' value for a bit of the bitmap indicates

- an active DL BWP, provided by firstWithinActiveTimeBWP-Id, for the UE for a corresponding activated


SCell, if a current active DL BWP is the dormant DL BWP

- a current active DL BWP, for the UE for a corresponding activated SCell, if the current active DL BWP is
not the dormant DL BWP

- the UE sets the active DL BWP to the indicated active DL BWP

If an active DL BWP provided by dormantBWP-Id for a UE on an activated SCell is not a default DL BWP for the UE
on the activated SCell, as described in clause 12, the BWP inactivity timer is not used for transitioning from the active
DL BWP provided by dormantBWP-Id to the default DL BWP on the activated SCell.

A UE is expected to provide HARQ-ACK information in response to a detection of a DCI format 1_1 indicating SCell
dormancy after symbols from the last symbol of a PDCCH providing the DCI format 1_1. If
processingType2Enabled of PDSCH-ServingCellConfig is set to enable for the serving cell with the PDCCH providing
the DCI format 1_1, = 7 for  = 0, = 7.5 for  = 1, and = 15 for  = 2; otherwise, = 14 for  = 0, =
16 for  = 1, = 27 for  = 2, and = 31 for  = 3, where  is the smallest SCS configuration between the SCS
configuration of the PDCCH providing the DCI format 1_1 and the SCS configuration of a PUCCH with the HARQ-
ACK information in response to the detection of the DCI format 1_1.

10.4 Search space set group switching


A UE can be provided a group index for a respective Type3-PDCCH CSS set or USS set by searchSpaceGroupIdList
for PDCCH monitoring on a serving cell. If the UE is not provided searchSpaceGroupIdList for a search space set, the
following procedures are not applicable for PDCCH monitoring according to the search space set.

If a UE is provided cellGroupsForSwitchList, indicating one or more groups of serving cells, the following procedures
apply to all serving cells within each group; otherwise, the following procedures apply only to a serving cell for which
the UE is provided searchSpaceGroupIdList.

When a UE is provided searchSpaceGroupIdList, the UE resets PDCCH monitoring according to search space sets with
group index 0, if provided by searchSpaceGroupIdList.

A UE can be provided by searchSpaceSwitchDelay a number of symbols ௦௪௜௧௖௛ where a minimum value of ௦௪௜௧௖௛ is
provided in Table 10.4-1 for UE processing capability 1 and UE processing capability 2 and SCS configuration . UE
processing capability 1 for SCS configuration  applies unless the UE indicates support for UE processing capability 2.

2 25 22

A UE can be provided, by searchSpaceSwitchTimer, a timer value for a serving cell that the UE is provided
searchSpaceGroupIdList or, if provided, for a set of serving cells provided by cellGroupsForSwitchList. The UE
decrements the timer value by one after each slot based on a reference SCS configuration that is the smallest SCS
configuration  among all configured DL BWPs in the serving cell, or in the set of serving cells. The UE maintains the
reference SCS configuration during the timer decrement procedure.

If a UE is provided by SearchSpaceSwitchTrigger a location of a search space set group switching flag field for a
serving cell in a DCI format 2_0, as described in clause 11.1.1;

- if the UE detects a DCI format 2_0 and a value of the search space set group switching flag field in the DCI
format 2_0 is 0, the UE starts monitoring PDCCH according to search space sets with group index 0, and stops
monitoring PDCCH according to search space sets with group index 1, for the serving cell at a first slot that is at
least ௦௪௜௧௖௛ symbols after the last symbol of the PDCCH with the DCI format 2_0

- if the UE detects a DCI format 2_0 and a value of the search space set group switching flag field in the DCI
format 2_0 is 1, the UE starts monitoring PDCCH according to search space sets with group index 1, and stops
monitoring PDCCH according to search space sets with group index 0, for the serving cell at a first slot that is at
least ௦௪௜௧௖௛ symbols after the last symbol of the PDCCH with the DCI format 2_0, and the UE sets the timer
value to the value provided by searchSpaceSwitchTimer

- if the UE monitors PDCCH for a serving cell according to search space sets with group index 1, the UE starts
monitoring PDCCH for the serving cell according to search space sets with group index 0, and stops monitoring

that is at least ௦௪௜௧௖௛ symbols after a slot where the timer expires or after a last symbol of a remaining channel
occupancy duration for the serving cell if indicated by DCI format 2_0

If a UE is not provided SearchSpaceSwitchTrigger for a serving cell,

- if the UE detects a DCI format by monitoring PDCCH according to a search space set with group index 0, the
UE starts monitoring PDCCH according to search space sets with group index 1, and stops monitoring PDCCH
according to search space sets with group index 0, for the serving cell at a first slot that is at least ௦௪௜௧௖௛
symbols after the last symbol of the PDCCH with the DCI format, the UE sets the timer value to the value
provided by searchSpaceSwitchTimer if the UE detects a DCI format by monitoring PDCCH in any search space
set

- if the UE monitors PDCCH for a serving cell according to search space sets with group index 1, the UE starts
monitoring PDCCH for the serving cell according to search space sets with group index 0, and stops monitoring
PDCCH according to search space sets with group index 1, for the serving cell at the beginning of the first slot
that is at least ௦௪௜௧௖௛ symbols after a slot where the timer expires or, if the UE is provided a search space set to
monitor PDCCH for detecting a DCI format 2_0, after a last symbol of a remaining channel occupancy duration
for the serving cell if indicated by DCI format 2_0

A UE determines a slot and a symbol in the slot to start or stop PDCCH monitoring according to search space sets for a
serving cell that the UE is provided searchSpaceGroupIdList or, if cellGroupsForSwitchList is provided, for a set of
serving cells, based on the smallest SCS configuration  among all configured DL BWPs in the serving cell or in the set
of serving cells and, if any, in the serving cell where the UE receives a PDCCH and detects a corresponding DCI format
2_0 triggering the start or stop of PDCCH monitoring according to search space sets.

10.5 HARQ-ACK information for PUSCH transmissions


A UE can be configured a number of search space sets to monitor PDCCH for detecting a DCI format 0_1 with a DFI
flag field and CRC scrambled with a CS-RNTI provided by cs-RNTI. The UE determines that the DCI format provides
HARQ-ACK information for PUSCH transmissions based on when a DFI flag field value is set to '1', if a PUSCH
transmission is configured by ConfiguredGrantConfig.

The HARQ-ACK information corresponds to transport blocks in PUSCH transmissions for all HARQ processes for a
serving cell of a PDCCH reception that provides DCI format 0_1 or, if DCI format 0_1 includes a carrier indicator field,
for a serving cell indicated by a value of the carrier indicator field.

For a PUSCH transmission configured by ConfiguredGrantConfig, HARQ-ACK information for a transport block of a
corresponding HARQ process number is valid if a first symbol of the PDCCH reception is after a last symbol of the
PUSCH transmission, or of any repetition of the PUSCH transmission, by a number of symbols provided by cg-
minDFI-Delay.

For an initial transmission by a UE of a transport block in a PUSCH configured by ConfiguredGrantConfig, if the UE


receives a CG-DFI that provides HARQ-ACK information for the transport block, the UE assumes that the transport
block was correctly decoded if the HARQ-ACK information value is ACK; otherwise, the UE assumes that the
transport block was not correctly decoded.

For a PUSCH transmission scheduled by a DCI format, if the UE receives a CG-DFI that provides HARQ-ACK
information for the transport block, the UE assumes that the transport block was correctly decoded if the HARQ-ACK
information value is ACK; otherwise, the UE assumes that the transport block was not correctly decoded.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 128 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

For a PUSCH transmission scheduled by a DCI format, HARQ-ACK information for a transport block of a
corresponding HARQ process number is valid if a first symbol of the PDCCH reception is after a last symbol of the
PUSCH transmission by a number of symbols provided by cg-minDFI-Delay or, if the PUSCH transmission is over
multiple slots,

- after a last symbol of the PUSCH transmission in a first slot from the multiple slots by a number of symbols
provided by cg-minDFI-Delay, if a value of the HARQ-ACK information is ACK.

- after a last symbol of the PUSCH transmission in a last slot from the multiple slots by a number of symbols
provided by cg-minDFI-Delay, if a value of the HARQ-ACK information is NACK.

UE does not expect to be configured with different cg-minDFI-Delay-r16 among multiple ConfiguredGrantConfig in
one BWP.

11 UE-group common signalling


If the UE is configured with a SCG, the UE shall apply the procedures described in this clause for both MCG and SCG

- When the procedures are applied for MCG, the terms 'secondary cell', 'secondary cells' , 'serving cell', 'serving
cells' in this clause refer to secondary cell, secondary cells, serving cell, serving cells belonging to the MCG
respectively.

- When the procedures are applied for SCG, the terms 'secondary cell', 'secondary cells', 'serving cell', 'serving
cells' in this clause refer to secondary cell, secondary cells (not including PSCell), serving cell, serving cells
belonging to the SCG respectively. The term 'primary cell' in this clause refers to the PSCell of the SCG.

11.1 Slot configuration


A slot format includes downlink symbols, uplink symbols, and flexible symbols.

The following are applicable for each serving cell.

If a UE is provided tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, the UE sets the slot format per slot over a number of slots as
indicated by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon.

The tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon provides

- a reference SCS configuration μ ref by referenceSubcarrierSpacing

- a pattern1.

The pattern1 provides

- a slot configuration period of P msec by dl-UL-TransmissionPeriodicity

- a number of slots d slots with only downlink symbols by nrofDownlinkSlots

- a number of downlink symbols d sym by nrofDownlinkSymbols

- a number of slots uslots with only uplink symbols by nrofUplinkSlots

- a number of uplink symbols usym by nrofUplinkSymbols

A value P = 0.625 msec is valid only for μref = 3 . A value P = 1.25 msec is valid only for μref = 2 or μref = 3 . A value
P = 2.5 msec is valid only for μref = 1 , or μref = 2 , or μref = 3 .

A slot configuration period of P msec includes S = P ⋅ 2μref slots with SCS configuration μ ref . From the S slots, a
first dslots slots include only downlink symbols and a last uslots slots include only uplink symbols. The dsym symbols

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 129 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

after the first dslots slots are downlink symbols. The usym symbols before the last uslots slots are uplink symbols. The
remaining (S − dslots − uslots ) ⋅ Nsymb − dsym − usym are flexible symbols.
slot

The first symbol every 20 P periods is a first symbol in an even frame.

If tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon provides both pattern1 and pattern2, the UE sets the slot format per slot over a
first number of slots as indicated by pattern1 and the UE sets the slot format per slot over a second number of slots as
indicated by pattern2.

The pattern2 provides

- a slot configuration period of P2 msec by dl-UL-TransmissionPeriodicity

- a number of slots dslots,2 with only downlink symbols by nrofDownlinkSlots

- a number of downlink symbols dsym,2 by nrofDownlinkSymbols

- a number of slots uslots,2 with only uplink symbols by nrofUplinkSlots

- a number of uplink symbols usym,2 by nrofUplinkSymbols

The applicable values of P2 are same as the applicable values for P .

A slot configuration period of P + P2 msec includes first S = P ⋅ 2 μ ref


slots and second S 2 = P2 ⋅ 2 μ ref
slots.

From the S2 slots, a first dslots,2 slots include only downlink symbols and a last uslots,2 include only uplink symbols.
The dsym,2 symbols after the first dslots,2 slots are downlink symbols. The usym,2 symbols before the last uslots,2 slots are
( )
uplink symbols. The remaining S2 − dslots,2 − uslots,2 ⋅ Nsymb − dsym,2 − usym,2 are flexible symbols.
slot

A UE expects that P + P2 divides 20 msec.

The first symbol every 20 (P + P2 ) periods is a first symbol in an even frame.

A UE expects that the reference SCS configuration μ ref is smaller than or equal to a SCS configuration μ for any
configured DL BWP or UL BWP. Each slot provided by pattern1 or pattern2 is applicable to 2(μ−μref ) consecutive slots
in the active DL BWP or the active UL BWP where the first slot starts at a same time as a first slot for the reference
SCS configuration μ ref and each downlink or flexible or uplink symbol for the reference SCS configuration μ ref
corresponds to 2(μ−μref ) consecutive downlink or flexible or uplink symbols for the SCS configuration μ .

If the UE is additionally provided tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated, the parameter tdd-UL-DL-


ConfigurationDedicated overrides only flexible symbols per slot over the number of slots as provided by tdd-UL-DL-
ConfigurationCommon.

The tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated provides

- a set of slot configurations by slotSpecificConfigurationsToAddModList

- for each slot configuration from the set of slot configurations

- a slot index for a slot provided by slotIndex

- a set of symbols for a slot by symbols where

- if symbols = allDownlink, all symbols in the slot are downlink

- if symbols = allUplink, all symbols in the slot are uplink

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 130 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

- if symbols = explicit, nrofDownlinkSymbols provides a number of downlink first symbols in the slot and
nrofUplinkSymbols provides a number of uplink last symbols in the slot. If nrofDownlinkSymbols is not
provided, there are no downlink first symbols in the slot and if nrofUplinkSymbols is not provided, there are
no uplink last symbols in the slot. The remaining symbols in the slot are flexible

For each slot having a corresponding index provided by slotIndex, the UE applies a format provided by a corresponding
symbols. The UE does not expect tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated to indicate as uplink or as downlink a symbol
that tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon indicates as a downlink or as an uplink symbol, respectively.

For each slot configuration provided by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated, a reference SCS configuration is the
reference SCS configuration μref provided by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon.

A slot configuration period and a number of downlink symbols, uplink symbols, and flexible symbols in each slot of the
slot configuration period are determined from tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon and tdd-UL-DL-
ConfigurationDedicated and are common to each configured BWP.

A UE considers symbols in a slot indicated as downlink by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, or tdd-UL-DL-


ConfigurationDedicated to be available for receptions and considers symbols in a slot indicated as uplink by tdd-UL-
DL-ConfigurationCommon, or by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated to be available for transmissions.

If a UE is not configured to monitor PDCCH for DCI format 2_0, for a set of symbols of a slot that are indicated as
flexible by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon and tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated if provided, or when tdd-UL-
DL-ConfigurationCommon and tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated are not provided to the UE

- the UE receives PDSCH or CSI-RS in the set of symbols of the slot if the UE receives a corresponding
indication by a DCI format

- the UE transmits PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH, or SRS in the set of symbols of the slot if the UE receives a
corresponding indication by a DCI format, a RAR UL grant, fallbackRAR UL grant, or successRAR

For operation on a single carrier in unpaired spectrum, if a UE is configured by higher layers to receive a PDCCH, or a
PDSCH, or a CSI-RS, or a DL PRS in a set of symbols of a slot, the UE receives the PDCCH, the PDSCH, the CSI-RS,
or the DL PRS if the UE does not detect a DCI format that indicates to the UE to transmit a PUSCH, a PUCCH, a
PRACH, or a SRS in at least one symbol of the set of symbols of the slot; otherwise, the UE does not receive the
PDCCH, or the PDSCH, or the CSI-RS, or the DL PRS in the set of symbols of the slot.

For operation with shared spectrum channel access, if a UE is provided csi-RS-ValidationWith-DCI, is not provided
CO-DurationsPerCell, and is not provided SlotFormatCombinationsPerCell, and if the UE is configured by higher
layers to receive a CSI-RS in a set of symbols of a slot, the UE cancels the CSI-RS reception in the set of symbols of
the slot if the UE does not detect a DCI format indicating an aperiodic CSI-RS reception or scheduling a PDSCH
reception in the set of symbols of the slot.

If a UE is provided channelAccessMode ='dynamic' and is provided availableRB-SetsToAddModList and availableRB-


SetsToRelease, the UE expects to be provided co-DurationsPerCellToAddModList and co-
DurationsPerCellToReleaseList and/or slotFormatCombToAddModList and slotFormatCombToReleaseList.

For operation on a single carrier in unpaired spectrum, if a UE is configured by higher layers to transmit SRS, or
PUCCH, or PUSCH, or PRACH in a set of symbols of a slot and the UE detects a DCI format indicating to the UE to
receive CSI-RS or PDSCH in a subset of symbols from the set of symbols, then

- If the UE does not indicate the capability of [partialCancellation], the UE does not expect to cancel the
transmission of the PUCCH or PUSCH or PRACH in the set of symbols if the first symbol in the set occurs
within ௣௥௢௖ ଶ relative to a last symbol of a CORESET where the UE detects the DCI format; otherwise, the UE
,

cancels the PUCCH, or the PUSCH, or an actual repetition of the PUSCH [6, TS38.214], determined from
clauses 9 and 9.2.5 or clause 6.1 of [6, TS38.214], or the PRACH transmission in the set of symbols.

- If the UE indicates the capability of [partialCancellation], the UE does not expect to cancel the transmission of
the PUCCH or PUSCH or PRACH in symbols from the set of symbols that occur within ௣௥௢௖ ଶ relative to a last
,

symbol of a CORESET where the UE detects the DCI format. The UE cancels the PUCCH, or the PUSCH, or an
actual repetition of the PUSCH [6, TS 38.214], determined from clauses 9 and 9.2.5 or clause 6.1 of [6, TS
38.214], or the PRACH transmission in remaining symbols from the set of symbols.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 131 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

- The UE does not expect to cancel the transmission of SRS in symbols from the subset of symbols that occur
within ௣௥௢௖ ଶ relative to a last symbol of a CORESET where the UE detects the DCI format. The UE cancels the
,

SRS transmission in remaining symbols from the subset of symbols.

୮୰୭ୡ ଶ is the PUSCH preparation time for the corresponding UE processing capability [6, TS 38.214] assuming
,

ଶ ଵ = 1 and  corresponds to the smallest SCS configuration between the SCS configuration of the PDCCH
carrying the DCI format and the SCS configuration of the SRS, PUCCH, PUSCH or ௥ , where ௥ corresponds to
,

the SCS configuration of the PRACH if it is 15kHz or higher; otherwise ௥ = 0.

For a set of symbols of a slot that are indicated to a UE as uplink by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, or tdd-UL-DL-
ConfigurationDedicated, the UE does not receive PDCCH, PDSCH, or CSI-RS when the PDCCH, PDSCH, or CSI-RS
overlaps, even partially, with the set of symbols of the slot.

For a set of symbols of a slot that are indicated to a UE as uplink by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, or tdd-UL-DL-
ConfigurationDedicated, the UE does not receive DL PRS in the set of symbols of the slot, if the UE is not provided
with a measurement gap.

For a set of symbols of a slot that are indicated to a UE as downlink by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, or tdd-UL-
DL-ConfigurationDedicated, the UE does not transmit PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH, or SRS when the PUSCH, PUCCH,
PRACH, or SRS overlaps, even partially, with the set of symbols of the slot.

For a set of symbols of a slot that are indicated to a UE as flexible by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, and tdd-UL-
DL-ConfigurationDedicated if provided, the UE does not expect to receive both dedicated higher layer parameters
configuring transmission from the UE in the set of symbols of the slot and dedicated higher layer parameters
configuring reception by the UE in the set of symbols of the slot.

For operation on a single carrier in unpaired spectrum, for a set of symbols of a slot indicated to a UE by ssb-
PositionsInBurst in SIB1 or ssb-PositionsInBurst in ServingCellConfigCommon, for reception of SS/PBCH blocks, the
UE does not transmit PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH in the slot if a transmission would overlap with any symbol from the
set of symbols and the UE does not transmit SRS in the set of symbols of the slot. The UE does not expect the set of
symbols of the slot to be indicated as uplink by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, or tdd-UL-DL-
ConfigurationDedicated, when provided to the UE.

If a UE

- is configured with multiple serving cells and is provided with directionalCollisionHandling-r16 = 'enabled' for a
set of serving cell(s) among the multiple serving cells, and

- indicates support of half-DuplexTDD-CA-SameSCS-r16 capability, and

- is not configured to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_0 on any of the multiple serving cells,

for a set of symbols of a slot that are indicated to the UE for reception of SS/PBCH blocks in a first cell of the multiple
serving cells by ssb-PositionsInBurst in SystemInformationBlockType1 or by ssb-PositionsInBurst in
ServingCellConfigCommon, when provided to the UE, the UE does not transmit PUSCH, PUCCH, or PRACH in the
slot if a transmission would overlap with any symbol from the set of symbols, and the UE does not transmit SRS in the
set of symbols of the slot in

simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA.

For a set of symbols of a slot corresponding to a valid PRACH occasion and N gap symbols before the valid PRACH
occasion, as described in clause 8.1, the UE does not receive PDCCH, PDSCH, or CSI-RS in the slot if a reception
would overlap with any symbol from the set of symbols. The UE does not expect the set of symbols of the slot to be
indicated as downlink by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon or tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated.

For a set of symbols of a slot indicated to a UE by pdcch-ConfigSIB1 in MIB for a CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS
set, the UE does not expect the set of symbols to be indicated as uplink by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, or tdd-
UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated.

If a UE is scheduled by a DCI format to receive PDSCH over multiple slots, and if tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon,
or tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated, indicate that, for a slot from the multiple slots, at least one symbol from a set of
symbols where the UE is scheduled PDSCH reception in the slot is an uplink symbol, the UE does not receive the
PDSCH in the slot.

or tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated, indicates that, for a slot from the multiple slots, at least one symbol from a set
of symbols where the UE is scheduled PUSCH transmission in the slot is a downlink symbol, the UE does not transmit
the PUSCH in the slot.

If a UE

set of serving cell(s) among the configured multiple serving cells, and

- indicates support of half-DuplexTDD-CA-SameSCS-r16 capability, and

- is not configured to monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_0 on any of the multiple serving cells,

the UE determines a reference cell for a symbol as an active cell with the smallest cell index among

- the configured multiple serving cells if the UE is not capable of simultaneous transmission and reception as
indicated by simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA among the multiple serving cells, and

- the cells of each band respectively if the UE is capable of simultaneous transmission and reception by
simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA for the configured multiple serving cells,

where the symbol is configured as

- downlink, or uplink, as indicated by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon or tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated

- uplink, if the symbol is flexible and the UE is configured to transmit SRS, PUCCH, PUSCH, or PRACH on the
symbol

- downlink, if the symbol is flexible and the UE is configured to receive PDCCH, PDSCH or CSI-RS on the

transmission that is configured by higher layers on the reference cell

- assumes a symbol indicated as downlink or uplink by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon or tdd-UL-DL-


ConfigurationDedicated on another cell to be flexible, if the UE is respectively configured by higher layers to

If neither CO-DurationPerCell-r16 nor SlotFormatCombinationsPerCell are provided and if ChannelAccessMode-


r16 = 'semistatic' is provided, the procedures in this clause apply with assuming a channel occupancy time defined in
clause 4.3 of [15, TS 37.213] is the remaining channel occupancy duration if a DL transmission burst(s) is detected
within the channel occupancy time.

A SFI-index field value in a DCI format 2_0 indicates to a UE a slot format for each slot in a number of slots for each
DL BWP or each UL BWP starting from a slot where the UE detects the DCI format 2_0. The number of slots is equal
to or larger than a PDCCH monitoring periodicity for DCI format 2_0. The SFI-index field includes
max{ log 2 (maxSFIindex + 1), 1} bits where maxSFIindex is the maximum value of the values provided by
corresponding slotFormatCombinationId. A slot format is identified by a corresponding format index as provided in
Table 11.1.1-1 where 'D' denotes a downlink symbol, 'U' denotes an uplink symbol, and 'F' denotes a flexible symbol.

If a PDCCH monitoring periodicity for DCI format 2_0, provided to a UE for the search space set s by
monitoringSlotPeriodicityAndOffset, is smaller than a duration of a slot format combination the UE obtains at a PDCCH
monitoring occasion for DCI format 2_0 by a corresponding SFI-index field value, and the UE detects more than one
DCI formats 2_0 indicating a slot format for a slot, the UE expects each of the more than one DCI formats 2_0 to
indicate a same format for the slot.

A UE does not expect to be configured to monitor PDCCH for DCI format 2_0 on a second serving cell that uses larger
SCS than the serving cell.

where ௥ corresponds to the SCS configuration of the PRACH if it is 15kHz or higher; otherwise ௥ = 0;

- if the UE is configured by higher layers to transmit SRS, or PUCCH, or PUSCH, or PRACH in the set of
symbols of the slot and the UE is provided enableConfiguredUL, the UE can transmit the SRS, or PUCCH, or
PUSCH, or PRACH, respectively.

For unpaired spectrum operation for a UE on a cell in a frequency band of FR1, and when the scheduling restrictions
due to RRM measurements [10, TS 38.133] are not applicable, if the UE detects a DCI format indicating to the UE to
transmit in a set of symbols, the UE is not required to perform RRM measurements [10, TS 38.133] based on a
SS/PBCH block or CSI-RS reception on a different cell in the frequency band if the SS/PBCH block or CSI-RS
reception includes at least one symbol from the set of symbols.

11.2 Interrupted transmission indication


If a UE is provided DownlinkPreemption, the UE is configured with an INT-RNTI provided by int-RNTI for monitoring
PDCCH conveying DCI format 2_1 [5, TS 38.212]. The UE is additionally configured with

- a set of serving cells by int-ConfigurationPerServingCell that includes a set of serving cell indexes provided by
corresponding servingCellId and a corresponding set of locations for fields in DCI format 2_1 by positionInDCI

- an information payload size for DCI format 2_1 by dci-PayloadSize

- an indication granularity for time-frequency resources by timeFrequencySet

If a UE detects a DCI format 2_1 for a serving cell from the configured set of serving cells, the UE may assume that no
transmission to the UE is present in PRBs and in symbols that are indicated by the DCI format 2_1, from a set of PRBs
and a set of symbols of the last monitoring period. The indication by the DCI format 2_1 is not applicable to receptions
of SS/PBCH blocks.

The set of PRBs is equal to the active DL BWP as defined in clause 12 and includes B INT PRBs.

If a UE detects a DCI format 2_1 in a PDCCH transmitted in a CORESET in a slot, the set of symbols is the last

⋅TINT ⋅ 2 INT
that is
not an integer. The UE does not expect to be configured by monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot with more than one PDCCH
monitoring occasion for DCI format 2_1 in a slot.

A UE is provided the indication granularity for the set of PRBs and for the set of symbols by timeFrequencySet.

If the value of timeFrequencySet is 'set0', 14 bits from MSB of a field in DCI format 2_1 have a one-to-one mapping
with 14 groups of consecutive symbols from the set of symbols where each of the first N INT − N INT 14  ⋅ 14 symbol
groups includes N INT 14  symbols, each of the last 14 − N INT + N INT 14  ⋅ 14 symbol groups includes N INT 14 
symbols, a bit value of 0 indicates transmission to the UE in the corresponding symbol group and a bit value of 1
indicates no transmission to the UE in the corresponding symbol group.

If the value of timeFrequencySet is 'set1', 7 pairs of bits from MSB of a field in the DCI format 2_1 have a one-to-one
mapping with 7 groups of consecutive symbols where each of the first N INT − N INT 7  ⋅ 7 symbol groups includes
N INT 7  symbols, each of the last 7 − N INT + N INT 7  ⋅ 7 symbol groups includes N INT 7  symbols, a first bit in a
pair of bits for a symbol group is applicable to the subset of first B INT 2  PRBs from the set of B INT PRBs, a second
bit in the pair of bits for the symbol group is applicable to the subset of last BINT 2  PRBs from the set of B INT PRBs,

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 141 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

a bit value of 0 indicates transmission to the UE in the corresponding symbol group and subset of PRBs, and a bit value
of 1 indicates no transmission to the UE in the corresponding symbol group and subset of PRBs.

11.2A Cancellation indication


If a UE is provided UplinkCancellation, the UE is provided, in one or more serving cells, a search space set for
monitoring the first PDCCH candidate with a CCE aggregation level of ‫ ܫܥ‬CCEs of the search space set for detection
of a DCI format 2_4 [5, TS 38.212] with a CI-RNTI provided by ci-RNTI as described in clause 10.1.
UplinkCancellation additionally provides to the UE

- a set of serving cells, by ci-ConfigurationPerServingCell, that includes a set of serving cell indexes and a
corresponding set of locations for fields in DCI format 2_4 by positionInDCI

- a number of fields in DCI format 2_4, by positionInDCI-forSUL, for each serving cell for a SUL carrier, if the
serving cell is configured with a SUL carrier

- an information payload size for DCI format 2_4 by dci-PayloadSize-ForCI

- an indication for time-frequency resources by timeFrequencyRegion

For a serving cell having an associated field in a DCI format 2_4, for the field denote by

- CI a number of bits provided by ci-PayloadSize

- CI a number of PRBs provided by frequencyRegionforCI in timeFrequencyRegion

- CI a number of symbols, excluding symbols for reception of SS/PBCH blocks and DL symbols indicated by tdd-
UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, from a number of symbols that

- is provided by timeDurationforCI in timeFrequencyRegion, if the PDCCH monitoring periodicity for the


search space set with the DCI format 2_4 is one slot and there are more than one PDCCH monitoring
occasions in a slot, or

- is equal to the PDCCH monitoring periodicity, otherwise.

-
CI a number of partitions for the CI symbols provided by timeGranularityforCI in timeFrequencyRegion

CI sets of bits from the MSB of the CI bits have a one-to-one mapping with
CI groups of symbols where each of the
first
CI − CI + ⌊CI ⁄
CI ⌋ ⋅
CI groups includes ⌊େ୍ ⁄
CI ⌋ symbols and each of the remaining CI − ⌊CI ⁄
CI ⌋ ⋅
CI
groups includes ⌈CI ⁄
CI ⌉ symbols. A UE determines a symbol duration with respect to a SCS configuration of an active
DL BWP where the UE monitors PDCCH for DCI format 2_4 detection.

For a group of symbols, BI = CI ⁄


‫ ܫܥ‬bits from MSB of each set of bits have a one-to-one mapping with BI groups
of PRBs where each of the first BI − CI + ⌊ CI ⁄BI ⌋ ⋅ BI groups includes ⌊ CI ⁄BI ⌋ PRBs and each of the remaining
CI − ⌊ CI ⁄BI ⌋ ⋅ BI groups includes ⌈ CI ⁄BI ⌉ PRBs. A UE determines a first PRB index as ோிோ
௦௧௔௥௧
= carrier +
௦௧௔௥௧ and a number of contiguous RBs as CI = RB from frequencyRegionforCI that indicates an offset ௦௧௔௥௧ and
a length RB as RIV according to [6, TS 38.214], and from offsetToCarrier in FrequencyInfoUL-SIB or
FrequencyInfoUL that indicates carrier for a SCS configuration of an active DL BWP where the UE monitors PDCCH
for DCI format 2_4 detection.

An indication by a DCI format 2_4 for a serving cell is applicable to a PUSCH transmission or an SRS transmission on
the serving cell. If the PUSCH transmission or the SRS transmission is scheduled by a DCI format, the indication by the
DCI format 2_4 is applicable to the PUSCH transmission or SRS transmission only if the last symbol of the PDCCH
reception providing the DCI format is earlier than the first symbol of the PDCCH reception providing the DCI format
2_4. For the serving cell, the UE determines the first symbol of the େ୍ symbols to be the first symbol that is after
′୮୰୭ୡ,ଶ from the end of a PDCCH reception where the UE detects the DCI format 2_4, where ′୮୰୭ୡ,ଶ is obtained from
୮୰୭ୡ,ଶ for PUSCH processing capability 2 [6, TS 38.214] assuming ଶ,ଵ = ୭୤୤ୱୣ୲ ⋅ 2ିఓೆಽ ⁄2ିఓ where ୭୤୤ୱୣ୲ is
provided by delta_Offset,  being the smallest SCS configuration between the SCS configuration of the PDCCH and the
smallest SCS configuration ୙୐ provided in scs-SpecificCarrierList of FrequencyInfoUL or FrequencyInfoUL-SIB. The
UE does not expect to cancel the PUSCH transmission or the SRS transmission before a corresponding symbol that is
୮୰୭ୡ,ଶ assuming that ଶ,ଵ = 0 after a last symbol of a CORESET where the UE detects the DCI format 2_4.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 142 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

A UE that detects a DCI format 2_4 for a serving cell cancels a PUSCH transmission or an actual repetition of a
PUSCH transmission [6, TS 38.214] if the PUSCH transmission is with repetition Type B, as determined in clauses 9
and 9.2.5 or in clause 6.1 of [6, TS 38.214], or an SRS transmission on the serving cell if, respectively,

- the transmission is PUSCH with priority 0, if the UE is provided uplinkCancellationPriority,

- a group of symbols, from the CI symbols, has at least one bit value of '1' in the corresponding set of BI bits in
the DCI format 2_4 and includes a symbol of the (repetition of the) PUSCH transmission or of the SRS
transmission, and

- a group of PRBs, from the CI PRBs, has a corresponding bit value of '1' in the set of bits corresponding to the
group of symbols in the DCI format 2_4 and includes a PRB of the (repetition of the) PUSCH transmission or of
the SRS transmission,

where

- the cancellation of the (repetition of the) PUSCH transmission includes all symbols from the earliest symbol of
the (repetition of the) PUSCH transmission that is in a group of symbols having corresponding bit values of '1' in
the DCI format 2_4;

- the cancellation of the SRS transmission includes only symbols that are in one or more groups of symbols having
corresponding bit values of '1' in the DCI format 2_4.

If, based on an indication by a DCI format 2_4, a UE cancels a PUSCH transmission or an SRS transmission, the UE
does not expect to be scheduled by a second DCI format to transmit a PUSCH or an SRS over symbols that include
symbols of the cancelled PUSCH transmission or SRS transmission, where the last symbol of the PDCCH reception
providing the second DCI format is later than the first symbol of the PDCCH reception providing the DCI format 2_4.

12 Bandwidth part operation


If the UE is configured with a SCG, the UE shall apply the procedures described in this clause for both MCG and SCG

- When the procedures are applied for MCG, the terms 'secondary cell', 'secondary cells' , 'serving cell', 'serving
cells' in this clause refer to secondary cell, secondary cells, serving cell, serving cells belonging to the MCG
respectively.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 144 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

- When the procedures are applied for SCG, the terms 'secondary cell', 'secondary cells', 'serving cell', 'serving
cells' in this clause refer to secondary cell, secondary cells (not including PSCell), serving cell, serving cells
belonging to the SCG respectively. The term 'primary cell' in this clause refers to the PSCell of the SCG.

A UE configured for operation in bandwidth parts (BWPs) of a serving cell, is configured by higher layers for the
serving cell a set of at most four bandwidth parts (BWPs) for receptions by the UE (DL BWP set) in a DL bandwidth by
parameter BWP-Downlink or by parameter initialDownlinkBWP with a set of parameters configured by BWP-
DownlinkCommon and BWP-DownlinkDedicated, and a set of at most four BWPs for transmissions by the UE (UL
BWP set) in an UL bandwidth by parameter BWP-Uplink or by parameter initialUplinkBWP with a set of parameters
configured by BWP-UplinkCommon and BWP-UplinkDedicated.

For operation with shared spectrum channel access, a UE expects that the BWP configured by the parameter
initialUplinkBWP provided in UplinkConfigCommonSIB is mapped to only a single RB set.

If a UE is not provided initialDownlinkBWP, an initial DL BWP is defined by a location and number of contiguous
PRBs, starting from a PRB with the lowest index and ending at a PRB with the highest index among PRBs of a
CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set, and a SCS and a cyclic prefix for PDCCH reception in the CORESET for
Type0-PDCCH CSS set; otherwise, the initial DL BWP is provided by initialDownlinkBWP. For operation on the
primary cell or on a secondary cell, a UE is provided an initial UL BWP by initialUplinkBWP. If the UE is configured
with a supplementary UL carrier, the UE can be provided an initial UL BWP on the supplementary UL carrier by
initialUplinkBWP.

If a UE has dedicated BWP configuration, the UE can be provided by firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id a first active DL
BWP for receptions and by firstActiveUplinkBWP-Id a first active UL BWP for transmissions on a carrier of the
primary cell.

For each DL BWP or UL BWP in a set of DL BWPs or UL BWPs, respectively, the UE is provided the following
parameters for the serving cell as defined in [4, TS 38.211] or [6, TS 38.214]:

- a SCS by subcarrierSpacing

- a cyclic prefix by cyclicPrefix

a common RB NBWP = Ocarrier + RBstart and a number of contiguous RBs N BWP


start
- size
= LRB provided by
locationAndBandwidth that indicates an offset RBstart and a length LRB as RIV according to [6, TS 38.214],
setting NBWP = 275 , and a value Ocarrier provided by offsetToCarrier for the subcarrierSpacing
size

- an index in the set of DL BWPs or UL BWPs by respective BWP-Id

- a set of BWP-common and a set of BWP-dedicated parameters by BWP-DownlinkCommon and BWP-


DownlinkDedicated for the DL BWP, or BWP-UplinkCommon and BWP-UplinkDedicated for the UL BWP [12,
TS 38.331]

For unpaired spectrum operation, a DL BWP from the set of configured DL BWPs with index provided by BWP-Id is
linked with an UL BWP from the set of configured UL BWPs with index provided by BWP-Id when the DL BWP index
and the UL BWP index are same. For unpaired spectrum operation, a UE does not expect to receive a configuration
where the center frequency for a DL BWP is different than the center frequency for an UL BWP when the BWP-Id of
the DL BWP is same as the BWP-Id of the UL BWP.

For each DL BWP in a set of DL BWPs of the PCell, a UE can be configured CORESETs for every type of CSS sets
and for USS as described in clause 10.1. The UE does not expect to be configured without a CSS set on the PCell in the
active DL BWP.

If a UE is provided controlResourceSetZero and searchSpaceZero in PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 or PDCCH-ConfigCommon,


the UE determines a CORESET for a search space set from controlResourcesetZero as described in clause 13 and for
Tables 13-1 through 13-10, and determines corresponding PDCCH monitoring occasions as described in clause 13 and
for Tables 13-11 through 13-15. If the active DL BWP is not the initial DL BWP, the UE determines PDCCH
monitoring occasions for the search space set only if the CORESET bandwidth is within the active DL BWP and the
active DL BWP has same SCS configuration and same cyclic prefix as the initial DL BWP.

For each UL BWP in a set of UL BWPs of the PCell or of the PUCCH-SCell, the UE is configured resource sets for
PUCCH transmissions as described in clause 9.2.1.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 145 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

A UE receives PDCCH and PDSCH in a DL BWP according to a configured SCS and CP length for the DL BWP. A
UE transmits PUCCH and PUSCH in an UL BWP according to a configured SCS and CP length for the UL BWP.

If a bandwidth part indicator field is configured in a DCI format, the bandwidth part indicator field value indicates the
active DL BWP, from the configured DL BWP set, for DL receptions as described in [5, TS 38.212]. If a bandwidth
part indicator field is configured in a DCI format, the bandwidth part indicator field value indicates the active UL BWP,
from the configured UL BWP set, for UL transmissions as described in [5, TS 38.212]. If a bandwidth part indicator
field is configured in a DCI format and indicates an UL BWP or a DL BWP different from the active UL BWP or DL
BWP, respectively, the UE shall

- for each information field in the DCI format

- if the size of the information field is smaller than the one required for the DCI format interpretation for the
UL BWP or DL BWP that is indicated by the bandwidth part indicator, the UE prepends zeros to the
information field until its size is the one required for the interpretation of the information field for the UL
BWP or DL BWP prior to interpreting the DCI format information fields, respectively

- if the size of the information field is larger than the one required for the DCI format interpretation for the UL
BWP or DL BWP that is indicated by the bandwidth part indicator, the UE uses a number of least significant
bits of the DCI format equal to the one required for the UL BWP or DL BWP indicated by bandwidth part
indicator prior to interpreting the DCI format information fields, respectively

- set the active UL BWP or DL BWP to the UL BWP or DL BWP indicated by the bandwidth part indicator in the
DCI format

If a bandwidth part indicator field is configured in a DCI format 0_1 and indicates an active UL BWP with different
SCS configuration ߤ , or with different number BWP RB−set,UL of RB sets, than a current active UL BWP, the UE determines
an uplink frequency domain resource allocation Type 2 based on
′ bits and ′ bits that are generated by independently
truncating or padding the
MSBs and the LSBs [6, TS 38.214] of the frequency domain resource assignment field of
DCI format 0_1, where truncation starts from the MSBs of the X bits or the Y bits, zero-padding prepends zeros to the
X bits or the Y bits, and

- if the indicated active UL BWP has SCS configuration ߤ =1and the current active BWP has SCS
configuration ߤ =0 , the
MSBs are truncated to
′ =
− 1 bits, or

- if the indicated active UL BWP has SCS configuration ߤ = 0 and the current active BWP has SCS
configuration ߤ =1 , the
MSBs are zero-padded to
′ =
+ 1 bits
- otherwise, the
MSBs are unchanged

and

A UE does not expect to detect a DCI format with a BWP indicator field that indicates an active DL BWP or an active
UL BWP change with the corresponding time domain resource assignment field providing a slot offset value for a
PDSCH reception or PUSCH transmission that is smaller than a delay required by the UE for an active DL BWP
change or UL BWP change, respectively [10, TS 38.133].

If a UE detects a DCI format with a BWP indicator field that indicates an active DL BWP change for a cell, the UE is
not required to receive or transmit in the cell during a time duration from the end of the third symbol of a slot where the
UE receives the PDCCH that includes the DCI format in a scheduling cell until the beginning of a slot indicated by the
slot offset value of the time domain resource assignment field in the DCI format.

If a UE detects a DCI format with SCell dormancy indication that indicates an active DL BWP change for an Scell in
slot n of primary cell, the UE is not required to receive or transmit in the SCell during a time duration specified in [10,
TS 38.133].

If a UE detects a DCI format indicating an active UL BWP change for a cell, the UE is not required to receive or
transmit in the cell during a time duration from the end of the third symbol of a slot where the UE receives the PDCCH
that includes the DCI format in the scheduling cell until the beginning of a slot indicated by the slot offset value of the
time domain resource assignment field in the DCI format.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 146 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

A UE does not expect to detect a DCI format indicating an active DL BWP change or an active UL BWP change for a
scheduled cell within FR1 (or FR2) in a slot other than the first slot of a set of slots for the DL SCS of the scheduling
cell that overlaps with a time duration where the UE is not required to receive or transmit, respectively, for an active
BWP change in a different cell from the scheduled cell within FR1 (or FR2).

A UE expects to detect a DCI format with a BWP indicator field that indicates an active UL BWP change or an active
DL BWP change only if a corresponding PDCCH is received within the first 3 symbols of a slot.

For a serving cell, a UE can be provided by defaultDownlinkBWP-Id a default DL BWP among the configured DL
BWPs. If a UE is not provided a default DL BWP by defaultDownlinkBWP-Id, the default DL BWP is the initial DL
BWP.

If a UE is provided by bwp-InactivityTimer a timer value for the serving cell [11, TS 38.321] and the timer is running,
the UE decrements the timer at the end of a subframe for FR1 or at the end of a half subframe for FR2 if the restarting
conditions in [11, TS 38.321] are not met during the interval of the subframe for FR1 or of the half subframe for FR2.

For a cell where a UE changes an active DL BWP due to a BWP inactivity timer expiration and for accommodating a
delay in the active DL BWP change or the active UL BWP change required by the UE [10, TS 38.133], the UE is not
required to receive or transmit in the cell during a time duration from the beginning of a subframe for FR1, or of half of
a subframe for FR2, that is immediately after the BWP inactivity timer expires until the beginning of a slot where the
UE can receive or transmit.

When a UE's BWP inactivity timer for a cell within FR1 (or FR2) expires within a time duration where the UE is not
required to receive or transmit for an active UL/DL BWP change in the cell or in a different cell within FR1 (or FR2),
the UE delays the active UL/DL BWP change triggered by the BWP inactivity timer expiration until a subframe for
FR1 or half a subframe for FR2 that is immediately after the UE completes the active UL/DL BWP change in the cell or
in the different cell within FR1 (or FR2).

If a UE is provided by firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id a first active DL BWP and by firstActiveUplinkBWP-Id a first active


UL BWP on a carrier of a secondary cell, the UE uses the indicated DL BWP and the indicated UL BWP as the
respective first active DL BWP on the secondary cell and first active UL BWP on the carrier of the secondary cell.

A UE does not expect to monitor PDCCH when the UE performs RRM measurements [10, TS 38.133] over a
bandwidth that is not within the active DL BWP for the UE.

If during cell search a UE determines from MIB that a CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set is present, as described in
clause 4.1, the UE determines a number of consecutive resource blocks and a number of consecutive symbols for the
CORESET of the Type0-PDCCH CSS set from controlResourceSetZero in pdcch-ConfigSIB1, as described in Tables
13-1 through 13-10, for operation without shared spectrum channel access, or as described in Tables 13-1A and 13-4A
for operation with shared spectrum channel access, and determines PDCCH monitoring occasions from
searchSpaceZero in pdcch-ConfigSIB1, included in MIB, as described in Tables 13-11 through 13-15. SFNC and nC
are the SFN and slot index within a frame of the CORESET based on SCS of the CORESET and SFNSSB,i and nSSB, i
are the SFN and slot index based on SCS of the CORESET, respectively, where the SS/PBCH block with index i
overlaps in time with system frame SFN SSB, i and slot nSSB, i . The symbols of the CORESET associated with pdcch-
ConfigSIB1 in MIB or with searchSpaceSIB1 in PDCCH-ConfigCommon have normal cyclic prefix.

For operation without shared spectrum channel access, a UE assumes that the offset in Tables 13-1 through 13-10 is
defined with respect to the SCS of the CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set, provided by
subCarrierSpacingCommon, from the smallest RB index of the CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set to the smallest
RB index of the common RB overlapping with the first RB of the corresponding SS/PBCH block. In Tables 13-7, 13-8,
and 13-10 kSSB is defined in [4, TS 38.211].

For operation with shared spectrum channel access, a UE determines an offset from a smallest RB index of the
CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set to a smallest RB index of the common RB overlapping with a first RB of the
corresponding SS/PBCH block

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 147 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

- according to the offset in Table 13-1A or Table 13-4A, if the frequency position of the SS/PBCH block
corresponds to the GSCN of a synchronization raster entry as defined in [8-1, TS 38.101-1], and

- according to a sum of a first offset and a second offset if the frequency position of the SS/PBCH block is
provided by ssbFrequency in a measurement configuration associated with a reporting configuration providing
reportCGI and does not correspond to the GSCN of a synchronization raster entry as defined in [8-1, TS 38.101-
1], where

- the first offset is provided in Table 13-1A or Table 13-4A, and

- the second offset is determined as the offset from a smallest RB index of the common RB overlapping with
the first RB of the SS/PBCH block indicated in the measurement configuration to a smallest RB index of the
common RB overlapping with the first RB of a SS/PBCH block hypothetically located at the GSCN of a
synchronization raster entry, where the single synchronization raster entry is located in the same channel as
the SS/PBCH block used for the shared spectrum channel access procedure, as described in [15, TS 37.213]

where the offsets are defined with respect to the SCS of the CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set that is same as the
SCS of the corresponding SS/PBCH block.

For operation without shared spectrum channel access and for the SS/PBCH block and CORESET multiplexing pattern
1, a UE monitors PDCCH in the Type0-PDCCH CSS set over two consecutive slots starting from slot n 0 . For
SS/PBCH block with index i , the UE determines an index of slot n 0 as n0 = (O ⋅ 2μ + i ⋅ M )modNslot
frame,μ
that is in a

( μ
frame with system frame number (SFN) SFNC satisfying SFNC mod 2 = 0 if O ⋅ 2 + i ⋅ M  Nslot ) frame, μ
 mod2 = 0 , or
(
in a frame with SFN satisfying SFNC mod2 = 1 if  O ⋅ 2 + i ⋅ M  N
μ
)  mod 2 = 1 . M and O are provided by
frame , μ
slot

Tables 13-11 and 13-12, and μ ∈ {0,1,2,3} based on the SCS for PDCCH receptions in the CORESET [4, TS 38.211].
The index for the first symbol of the CORESET in slots n 0 and n 0 + 1 is the first symbol index provided by Tables
13-11 and 13-12.

For operation with shared spectrum channel access and for the SS/PBCH block and CORESET multiplexing pattern 1, a
UE monitors PDCCH in the Type0-PDCCH CSS set over slots that include Type0-PDCCH monitoring occasions
associated with SS/PBCH blocks that are quasi co-located with the SS/PBCH block that provides a CORESET for
Type0-PDCCH CSS set with respect to average gain, quasi co-location 'typeA' and 'typeD' properties, when applicable
[6, TS 38.214]. For a candidate SS/PBCH block index ̅, where 0 ≤ ̅ ≤ ௠௔௫ − 1, two consecutive slots starting from
slot ଴ include the associated Type0-PDCCH monitoring occasions. The UE determines an index of slot ଴ as ଴ =
 ⋅ 2ఓ + ⌊̅ ⋅ ⌋ mod ୱ୪୭୲୤୰ୟ୫ୣ,ஜ
that is in a frame with system frame number (SFN) SFN஼ satisfying SFN஼  2 = 0
if  ⋅ 2 + ⌊̅ ⋅ ⌋/ ୱ୪୭୲   2 = 0, or in a frame with SFN satisfying SFN஼  2 = 1 if
ఓ ୤୰ୟ୫ୣ ,ஜ

 ⋅ 2ఓ + ⌊̅ ⋅ ⌋/ ୱ୪୭୲


୤୰ୟ୫ୣ,ஜ
  2 = 1.  and are provided by Table 13-11, and  ∈ {0, 1} based on the SCS for
PDCCH receptions in the CORESET [4, TS 38.211]. The index for the first symbol of the CORESET in slots ଴ and
଴ + 1 is the first symbol index provided by Table 13-11. The UE does not expect to be configured with  = 1/2, or
with  = 2, when ௌௌ஻ ொ஼௅
= 1.
For the SS/PBCH block and CORESET multiplexing patterns 2 and 3, a UE monitors PDCCH in the Type0-PDCCH
CSS set over one slot with Type0-PDCCH CSS set periodicity equal to the periodicity of SS/PBCH block. For the
SS/PBCH block and CORESET multiplexing patterns 2 and 3, if the active DL BWP is the initial DL BWP, the UE is
expected to be able to perform radio link monitoring, as described in clause 5, and measurements for radio resource
management [10, TS 38.133] using a SS/PBCH block that provides a CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set. For a
SS/PBCH block with index i , the UE determines the slot index n C and SFNC based on parameters provided by Tables
13-13 through 13-15.

If a UE detects a first SS/PBCH block and determines that a CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set is not present, and
for 24 ≤ kSSB ≤ 29 for FR1 or for 12 ≤ k SSB ≤ 13 for FR2, the UE may determine the nearest (in the corresponding
frequency direction) global synchronization channel number (GSCN) of a second SS/PBCH block having a CORESET
for an associated Type0-PDCCH CSS set as NGSCN + NGSCN
Reference Offset
. Reference
N GSCN is the GSCN of the first SS/PBCH block and
N Offset
GSCN
is a GSCN offset provided by Table 13-16 for FR1 and Table 13-17 for FR2. If the UE detects the second
SS/PBCH block and the second SS/PBCH block does not provide a CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set, as
described in clause 4.1, the UE may ignore the information related to GSCN of SS/PBCH block locations for
performing cell search.

If a UE detects a SS/PBCH block and determines that a CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set is not present, and for
kSSB = 31 for FR1 or for kSSB = 15 for FR2, the UE determines that there is no SS/PBCH block having an associated
Type0-PDCCH CSS set within a GSCN range [ N GSCN Reference
− N GSCN
Start Reference
, N GSCN + N GSCN
End
] . N GSCN
Start
and N GSCN
End
are
respectively determined by controlResourceSetZero and searchSpaceZero in pdcch-ConfigSIB1. If the GSCN range is
Reference Reference
[NGSCN , NGSCN ] , the UE determines that there is no information for a second SS/PBCH block with a CORESET
for an associated Type0-PDCCH CSS set on the detected SS/PBCH block.

If a UE does not detect any SS/PBCH block providing a CORESET for Type0-PDCCH CSS set, as described in clause
4.1, within a time period determined by the UE, the UE may ignore the information related to GSCN of SS/PBCH
locations in performing cell search.

14 Integrated access-backhaul operation


Throughout this specification, unless otherwise noted, statements using the term "UE" in clauses 4 through 13 are
equally applicable to the IAB-MT of an IAB node.

A procedure for an IAB-MT to perform cell search, system information acquisition, or random access procedure is same
as a corresponding one for a UE except for the following.

For initial cell selection, an IAB-MT may assume that half frames with SS/PBCH blocks occur with a periodicity of 16
frames.

For PRACH transmission, an IAB-MT determines frames and subframes/slots within the frames containing PRACH
occasions as described in [4, TS 38.211].

The IAB-MT determines an association period for mapping SS/PBCH blocks to PRACH occasions based on a PRACH
configuration period as described in clause 8.1 and according to Table 14-1 instead of Table 8.1-1. An association
pattern period includes one or more association periods and is determined so that a pattern between PRACH occasions
and SS/PBCH blocks repeats at most every 640 msec. A PRACH occasion in a PRACH slot is valid according to the
conditions in clause 8.1.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 158 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

If an IAB-node is provided an index Tdelta in a Timing Delta MAC CE [11, TS 38.321] from a serving cell, the IAB-node
may assume that NTA /2 + delta + delta ⋅ Gstep  ⋅ Tc is a time difference between a DU transmission of a signal from the
serving cell and a reception of the signal by the IAB-MT when NTA /2 + delta + delta ⋅ Gstep > 0, where NTA is obtained
as for a "UE" in clause 4.2 for the TAG containing the serving cell and delta and Gstep are determined as

- delta = −70528 and ௦௧௘௣ = 64, if the serving cell providing the Timing Delta MAC CE operates in FR1,
- delta = −17664 and ௦௧௘௣ = 32, if the serving cell providing the Timing Delta MAC CE operates in FR2

The IAB-node may use the time difference to determine a DU transmission time.

A slot format for an IAB-DU or an IAB-MT includes downlink symbols, uplink symbols, and flexible symbols.

For each cell of an IAB-DU, the IAB-DU can be provided an indication for a slot format over a number of slots by
gNB-DU Cell Resource Configuration [16, TS 38.473].

For each serving cell, an IAB-MT can be provided an indication for a slot format over a number of slots by tdd-UL-DL-
ConfigurationDedicated-IAB-MT. If the IAB-MT is provided tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated-IAB-MT, the
statements in clause 11.1 that include "tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated" apply to the IAB-MT of an IAB node by
replacing "tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated" with "tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated-IAB-MT" for the IAB-MT,
except that the tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated-IAB-MT provides

- a set of slot configurations by slotSpecificConfigurationsToAddModList-IAB-MT

- for each slot configuration from the set of slot configurations

- a slot index for a slot provided by slotIndex

- a set of symbols for a slot by symbols-IAB-MT where

- if symbols-IAB-MT = allDownlink, all symbols in the slot are downlink

- if symbols-IAB-MT = allUplink, all symbols in the slot are uplink

- if symbols-IAB-MT = explicit, nrofDownlinkSymbols provides a number of downlink first symbols in the slot
and nrofUplinkSymbols provides a number of uplink last symbols in the slot. If nrofDownlinkSymbols is not
provided, there are no downlink first symbols in the slot and if nrofUplinkSymbols is not provided, there are
no uplink last symbols in the slot. The remaining symbols in the slot are flexible.

- if symbols-IAB-MT = explicit-IAB-MT, nrofUplinkSymbols provides a number of uplink first symbols in the


slot and nrofDownlinkSymbols provides a number of downlink last symbols in the slot. If nrofUplinkSymbols
is not provided, there are no uplink first symbols in the slot and if nrofDownlinkSymbols is not provided,
there are no downlink last symbols in the slot. The remaining symbols in the slot are flexible.

An IAB-MT can be provided, by SlotFormatCombinationsPerCell, a list of slot format combinations applicable for one
serving cell and, by SlotFormatIndicator, a configuration for monitor a DCI format 2_0 indicating a slot format
combination, from the list of slot format combinations, over a number of slots as described in clause 11.1.1. In addition
to the slot formats in Table 11.1.1-1, an SFI field for an IAB-MT in DCI format 2_0 can indicate to the IAB-MT a slot
format from the slot formats in Table 14-2.

For a serving cell of an IAB-MT, the IAB-MT can be provided by Provided Guard Symbols MAC CE a number of
symbols that will not be used for the IAB-MT in slots where the IAB-node transitions between IAB-MT and IAB-node
DU and a SCS configuration for the number of symbols [11, TS 38.321].

With reference to slots of an IAB-DU cell, a symbol in a slot of an IAB-DU cell can be configured to be of hard, soft, or
unavailable type. When a downlink, uplink, or flexible symbol is configured as hard, the IAB-DU cell can respectively
transmit, receive, or either transmit or receive in the symbol.

When a downlink, uplink, or flexible symbol is configured as soft, the IAB-DU cell can respectively transmit, receive
or either transmit or receive in the symbol only if

- the IAB-MT does not transmit or receive during the symbol of the IAB-DU cell, or

- the IAB-MT would transmit or receive during the symbol of the IAB-DU cell, and the transmission or reception
during the symbol of the IAB-DU cell is not changed due to a use of the symbol by the IAB-DU, or

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 160 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

- the IAB-MT detects a DCI format 2_5 with an AI index field value indicating the soft symbol as available

When a symbol is configured as unavailable, the IAB-DU neither transmits nor receives in the symbol.

A symbol of a slot is equivalent to being configured as hard if an IAB-DU would transmit a SS/PBCH block, PDCCH
for Type0-PDCCH CSS sets configured by pdcchConfigSIB1, or a periodic CSI-RS in the symbol of the slot, or would
receive a PRACH or a SR in the symbol of the slot.

If an IAB-node is provided an AvailabilityIndicator, the IAB-node is provided an AI-RNTI by ai-RNTI and a payload
size of a DCI format 2_5 by dci-PayloadSizeAI. The IAB-node is also provided a search space set configuration, by
SearchSpace, for monitoring PDCCH.

For each cell of an IAB-DU in a set of cells of the IAB-DU, the IAB-DU can be provided:

- an identity of the IAB-DU cell by iab-DU-CellIdentity

- a location of an availability indicator (AI) index field in DCI format 2_5 by positionInDCI-AI

- a set of availability combinations by availabilityCombinations, where each availability combination in the set of
availability combinations includes

- resourceAvailability indicating availability of soft symbols in one or more slots for the IAB-DU cell, and

- a mapping for the soft symbol availability combinations provided by resourceAvailability to a corresponding
AI index field value in DCI format 2_5 provided by availabilityCombinationId

The IAB-DU can assume a same SCS configuration for availabilityCombinations for a cell as an SCS configuration
provided by gNB-DU Cell Resource Configuration for the cell.

An AI index field value in a DCI format 2_5 indicates to an IAB-DU a soft symbol availability in each slot for a
number of slots starting from the earliest slot of the IAB-DU which overlaps in time with the slot of the IAB-MT where
the IAB-MT detects the DCI format 2_5. The number of slots is equal to or larger than a PDCCH monitoring
periodicity for DCI format 2_5 as provided by SearchSpace. The AI index field includes
max { log 2 (maxAIindex + 1), 1} bits where maxAIindex is the maximum of the values provided by corresponding
availabilityCombinationId. An availability for a soft symbol in a slot is identified by a corresponding value
resourceAvailability as provided in Table 14-3.

Table 14-3: Mapping between values of resourceAvailability elements and types of soft symbol
availability in a slot
Value Indication
0 No indication of availability for soft symbols
DL soft symbols are indicated available
1
No indication of availability for UL and Flexible soft symbols
UL soft symbols are indicated available
2
No indication of availability for DL and Flexible soft symbols

5

6

7 DL, UL, and Flexible soft symbols are indicated available

If a PDCCH monitoring periodicity for DCI format 2_5 is smaller than a duration of an availability combination of soft
symbols over a number of slots that the IAB-MT obtains at a PDCCH monitoring occasion for DCI format 2_5 by a
corresponding AI index field value, and the IAB-MT detects more than one DCI formats 2_5 indicating an availability
combination of soft symbols in a slot, the IAB-MT expects that each of the more than one DCI formats 2_5 indicates a
same value for the availability combination of the soft symbols in the slot. An IAB-MT monitors PDCCH candidates
for a DCI format 2_5 with CRC scrambled by AI-RNTI in one or both of the following search space sets:

- a Type3-PDCCH CSS set configured by SearchSpace in PDCCH-Config with searchSpaceType = common;

- a USS set configured by SearchSpace in PDCCH-Config with searchSpaceType = ue-Specific.

15 Dual active protocol stack based handover


If a UE indicates a capability for dual active protocol stack based handover (DAPS HO), the UE can be provided with a
source MCG and a target MCG.

If a UE is configured with a target MCG using NR radio access in FR1 or in FR2 and with a source MCG using NR
radio access in FR2 or in FR1, respectively, the UE performs transmission power control independently per cell group
as described in clauses 7.1 through 7.5.

If a UE is configured with a target MCG using NR radio access in FR1 and a source MCG using NR radio access in
FR1, the UE is configured a maximum power MCG for transmissions on the target MCG by p-DAPS-Target and a
maximum power SCG for transmissions on the source MCG by p-DAPS-Source and with an inter-CG power sharing
mode by uplinkPowerSharingDAPS-Mode. The UE determines a transmission power on the target MCG and a
transmission power on the source MCG per frequency range.

If the UE indicates support for semi-static power sharing mode1 and is provided uplinkPowerSharingDAPS-Mode =
Semi-static-mode1, the UE determines a transmission power for the target MCG or for the source MCG as described in
clause 7.6.2 for nrdc-PCmode-FR1 = Semi-static-mode1 by considering the target MCG as the MCG and the source
MCG as the SCG.

If the UE indicates support for semi-static power sharing mode2 and is provided uplinkPowerSharingDAPS-Mode =
Semi-static-mode2, the UE determines a transmission power for the target MCG or for the source SCG as described in
clause 7.6.2 for nrdc-PCmode-FR1 = Semi-static-mode2 by considering the target MCG as the MCG and the source
MCG as the SCG. The UE expects to be provided uplinkPowerSharingDAPS-Mode = Semi-static-mode2 only for
synchronous DAPS HO operation [10, TS 38.133].

If the UE indicates support for dynamic power sharing and is provided uplinkPowerSharingDAPS-Mode = Dynamic,
the UE determines a transmission power for the target MCG or for the source MCG as described in clause 7.6.2 for
nrdc-PCmode-FR1 = Dynamic by considering the target MCG as the MCG and the source MCG as the SCG.

Intra-frequency DAPS handover is described in clause 6.1.3.2 of [10, TS38.133].

For DAPS handover that is not intra-frequency, if

- the UE does not indicate support of interFreqUL-TransCancellationDAPS-r16, and

- UE does not indicate a capability for power sharing between source and target MCG in DAPS handover or the
UE is not provided with uplinkPowerSharingDAPS-Mode,

the UE does not expect transmissions on the target and source cell in overlapping time resources.

For DAPS handover that is not intra-frequency, if

- the UE indicates support of interFreqUL-TransCancellationDAPS-r16, and

- UE does not indicate a capability for power sharing between source and target MCG in DAPS handover or the
UE is not provided with uplinkPowerSharingDAPS-Mode, and

- UE transmissions on the target cell and the source cell are in overlapping time resources,

the UE transmits only on the target cell, and cancels the transmission to source cell.

For intra-frequency DAPS handover, if

- UE transmissions on the target cell and the source cell are in overlapping time resources,

the UE transmits only on the target cell and cancels the transmission on the source cell.

The UE does not expect to cancel a transmission on the source cell if a first symbol of the transmission on the source
cell is less than proc,2 +  after a last symbol of a CORESET where the UE receives a PDCCH providing a DCI format
scheduling a transmission on the target cell. proc,2 is the PUSCH preparation time for the corresponding PUSCH
processing capability [6, TS 38.214] assuming 2,1 = 1,  is a time duration corresponding to 2 symbols for SCS
configuration , and  is the smallest SCS configuration between the SCS configuration of the PDCCH providing the

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 162 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

DCI format and the SCS configuration for the transmission on the source cell. If the UE transmits PRACH using 1.25
kHz or 5 kHz SCS on the source cell, the UE determines proc,2 assuming SCS configuration  = 0.

A UE does not expect to cancel a transmission on the source cell if the first symbol of the source cell transmission
occurs, relative to a last symbol of a PDSCH reception conveying a RAR message with a RAR UL grant on the target
cell, after a number of symbols that is smaller than T,1 + T,2 + 0.5 msec, where T,1 is a time duration of 1 symbols
corresponding to a PDSCH processing time for UE processing capability 1 when additional PDSCH DM-RS is
configured, T,2 is a time duration of 2 symbols corresponding to a PUSCH preparation time for UE processing
capability 1 [6, TS 38.214] and the UE considers that 1 and ଶ correspond to the smaller of the SCS configurations for
the PDSCH on the target cell and the transmission on the source cell. For  = 0, the UE assumes 1,0 = 14 [6, TS
38.214].

For intra-frequency DAPS handover operation, the UE expects that an active DL BWP and an active UL BWP on the
target cell are within an active DL BWP and an active UL BWP on the source cell, respectively.

If a UE is provided search space sets on both the target MCG and the source MCG, in any slot the UE does not expect
to have USS sets on both the target MCG and the source MCG that result in the number of monitored PDCCH
candidates and the total number of non-overlapped CCEs in both cells that each exceed the corresponding maximum
numbers per slot defined in Table 10.1-2 and Table 10.1-3.

For DAPS operation in a same frequency band, a UE does not transmit PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS to the source MCG in a
slot overlapping in time with a PRACH transmission to the target MCG or when a gap between a first or last symbol of
a PRACH transmission to the target MCG in a first slot would be separated by less than symbols from a last or first
symbol, respectively, of the PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS transmission to the source MCG in a second slot. For DAPS
operation in a same frequency band, a UE does not transmit PRACH on the source MCG in a slot overlapping in time
with a PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS transmission on the target MCG or when a gap between the first or last symbol of a
PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS transmission on the target MCG is separated by less than symbols from a last or a first symbol,
respectively, of a PRACH transmission on the source MCG. = 2 for  = 0 or  = 1, = 4 for  = 2 or  = 3, and
 is the SCS configuration of the active UL BWP for the PUSCH/PUCCH/SRS transmission. The PUSCH processing
capability is the processing capability of source cell.

16 UE procedures for sidelink


A UE is provided by SL-BWP-Config a BWP for SL transmissions (SL BWP) with numerology and resource grid
determined as described in [4, TS 38.211]. For a resource pool within the SL BWP, the UE is provided by sl-
NumSubchannel a number of sub-channels where each sub-channel includes a number of contiguous RBs provided by
sl-SubchannelSize. The first RB of the first sub-channel in the SL BWP is indicated by sl-StartRB-Subchannel.
Available slots for a resource pool are provided by timeresourcepool and occur with a periodicity of 10240 ms. For an
available slot without S-SS/PSBCH blocks, SL transmissions can start from a first symbol indicated by sl-StartSymbol
and be within a number of consecutive symbols indicated by sl-LengthSymbols. For an available slot with S-SS/PSBCH
blocks, the first symbol and the number of consecutive symbols is predetermined.

The UE expects to use a same numerology in the SL BWP and in an active UL BWP in a same carrier of a same cell. If
the active UL BWP numerology is different than the SL BWP numerology, the SL BWP is deactivated.

A priority of a PSSCH according to NR radio access or according to E-UTRA radio access is indicated by a priority
field in a respective scheduling SCI format. A priority of a PSSS/SSSS/PSBCH according to E-UTRA radio access is
provided by sl-SSB-PriorityEUTRA [13, TS 36.213]. A priority of an S-SS/PSBCH block is provided by sl-SSB-
PriorityNR. A priority of a PSFCH is same as the priority of a corresponding PSSCH.

A UE does not expect to be provided search space sets associated with CORESETs on more than one cell to monitor
PDCCH for detection of DCI format 3_0 or DCI format 3_1.

16.1 Synchronization procedures


A UE receives the following SL synchronization signals in order to perform synchronization procedures based on S-
SS/PSBCH blocks: SL primary synchronization signals (S-PSS) and SL secondary synchronization signals (S-SSS) [4,
TS 38.211].

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 163 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

A UE assumes that reception occasions of a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), S-PSS, and S-SSS are in
consecutive symbols [4, TS 38.211] and form a S-SS/PSBCH block.

For reception of a S-SS/PSBCH block, a UE assumes a frequency location corresponding to the subcarrier with index
66 in the S-SS/PSBCH block [4, TS 38.211], is provided by sl-AbsoluteFrequencySSB. The UE assumes that a S-PSS
symbol, a S-SSS symbol, and a PSBCH symbol have a same transmission power. The UE assumes a same numerology
of the S-SS/PSBCH as for a SL BWP of the S-SS/PSBCH block reception, and that a bandwidth of the S-SS/PSBCH is
within a bandwidth of the SL BWP. The UE assumes the subcarrier with index 0 in the S-SS/PSBCH block is aligned
with a subcarrier with index 0 in an RB of the SL BWP.

A UE is provided, by sl-NumSSB-WithinPeriod, a number ୮ୣ୰୧୭ୢ


ୗିୗୗ୆
of S-SS/PSBCH blocks in a period of 16 frames. The
UE assumes that a transmission of the S-SS/PSBCH blocks in the period is with a periodicity of 16 frames. The UE
determines indexes of slots that include S-SS/PSBCH block as ୭୤୤ୱୣ୲
ୗିୗୗ୆
+ ୧୬୲ୣ୰୴ୟ୪
ୗିୗୗ୆
+ 1 ⋅ !ୗିୗୗ୆, where
- index 0 corresponds to a first slot in a frame with SFN satisfying (SFN mod 16) = 0

- !ୗିୗୗ୆ is a S-SS/PSBCH block index within the number of S-SS/PSBCH blocks in the period, with 0 ≤ !ୗିୗୗ୆ ≤
୮ୣ୰୧୭ୢ
ୗିୗୗ୆
−1
- ୭୤୤ୱୣ୲
ୗିୗୗ୆
is a slot offset from a start of the period to the first slot including S-SS/PSBCH block, provided by sl-
TimeOffsetSSB

- ୧୬୲ୣ୰୴ୟ୪
ୗିୗୗ୆
is a slot interval between S-SS/PSBCH blocks, provided by sl-timeInterval

For paired spectrum, an S-SS/PSBCH block can be transmitted/received only in a slot of an UL carrier. For unpaired
spectrum, an S-SS/PSBCH block can be transmitted/received only in a slot of which all OFDM symbols are semi-
statically configured as UL as per the higher layer parameter tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon of the serving cell if
provided or sl-TDD-Configuration-r16 if provided or sl-TDD-Config-r16 of the received PSBCH if provided. Or if tdd-
UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon and sl-TDD-Configuration are not provided for a spectrum indicated with only PC5
interface in Table 5.2E.1-1 in [TS 38.101-1], an S-SS/PSBCH block can be transmitted/received in any slot of the
spectrum.

For transmission of an S-SS/PSBCH block, a UE includes a bit sequence "଴ , "ଵ , "ଶ , "ଷ , … , "ଵଵ in the PSBCH payload to
indicate sl-TDD-Config and provide a slot format over a number of slots.

For paired spectrum, or if tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon and sl-TDD-Configuration are not provided for a spectrum
indicated with only PC5 interface in Table 5.2E.1-1 in [TS 38.101-1],

- "଴, "ଵ , "ଶ , "ଷ, "ସ , "ହ , "଺, "଻ , "଼, "ଽ , "ଵ଴ , "ଵଵ are set to '1';

16.2.4.3 Simultaneous SL and UL transmissions/receptions


If a UE

- would simultaneously transmit on the UL and on the SL in a carrier or in two respective carriers, and

- the UE is not capable of simultaneous transmissions on the UL and on the SL in the carrier or in the two
respective carriers

the UE transmits only on the link, UL or SL, with the higher priority.

- would simultaneously transmit on the UL and receive on the SL in a carrier, or

- would simultaneously transmit on the UL and receive on the SL in two respective carriers and the UE is not
capable of simultaneous transmission on the UL and reception on the SL in the two respective carriers

the UE transmits on UL or receives on SL, with the higher priority.

If a UE

- is capable of simultaneous transmissions on the UL and on the SL in two respective carriers,

- would transmit on the UL and on the SL in the two respective carriers,

- the transmission on the UL would overlap with the transmission on the SL over a time period, and

- the total UE transmission power over the time period would exceed CMAX

the UE

- reduces the power for the UL transmission prior to the start of the UL transmission, if the SL transmission has
higher priority than the UL transmission as determined in clause 16.2.4.3.1, so that the total UE transmission
power would not exceed CMAX

- reduces the power for the SL transmission prior to the start of the SL transmission, if the UL transmission has
higher priority than the SL transmission as determined in clause 16.2.4.3.1, so that the total UE transmission
power would not exceed CMAX

16.2.4.3.1 Prioritizations for sidelink and uplink transmissions/receptions


A UE performs prioritization between SL transmissions/receptions and UL transmissions after performing the
procedures described in clause 9, clause 9.2.5, and clause 9.2.6, and in clause 6.1 of [6, TS 38.214].

PSFCH transmissions in a slot have a same priority value as the smallest priority value among PSSCH receptions with
corresponding HARQ-ACK information provided by the PSFCH transmissions in the slot.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 170 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

PSFCH receptions in a slot have a same priority value as the smallest priority value among PSSCH transmissions with
corresponding HARQ-ACK information provided by the PSFCH receptions in the slot.

A priority of S-SS/PSBCH block transmission or reception is provided by sl-SSB-PriorityNR.

For prioritization between SL transmission or PSFCH/S-SS/PSBCH block reception and UL transmission other than a
PRACH, or a PUSCH scheduled by an UL grant in a RAR and its retransmission, or a PUSCH corresponding to Type-2
random access procedure and its retransmission, or a PUCCH with sidelink HARQ-ACK information report

- if the UL transmission is for a PUSCH or for a PUCCH with priority index 1,

- if sl-PriorityThreshold-UL-URLLC is provided

- the SL transmission or reception has higher priority than the UL transmission if the priority value of the
SL transmission(s) is smaller than sl-PriorityThreshold-UL-URLLC; otherwise, the UL transmission has
higher priority than the SL transmission or reception

- else

- the UL transmission has higher priority than the SL transmission or reception

- else

- the SL transmission or reception has higher priority than the UL transmission if the priority value of the SL
transmission(s) or reception is smaller than sl-PriorityThreshold; otherwise, the UL transmission has higher
priority than the SL transmission or reception

A PRACH transmission, or a PUSCH scheduled by an UL grant in a RAR and its retransmission, or a PUSCH for
Type-2 random access procedure and its retransmission, or a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information in response to
successRAR, or a PUCCH indicated by a DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by a corresponding TC-RNTI has
higher priority than a SL transmission or reception.

A PUCCH transmission with a sidelink HARQ-ACK information report has higher priority than a SL transmission if a
priority value of the PUCCH is smaller than a priority value of the SL transmission. The priority value of the PUCCH
transmission is as described in clause 16.5. If the priority value of the PUCCH transmission is larger than the priority
value of the SL transmission, the SL transmission has higher priority.

A PUCCH transmission with a sidelink HARQ-ACK information report has higher priority than a PSFCH/S-
SS/PSBCH block reception if a priority value of the PUCCH is smaller than a priority value of the SL reception. If the
priority value of the PUCCH transmission is larger than the priority value of the PSFCH/S-SS/PSBCH block reception,
the SL reception has higher priority.

When one or more SL transmissions from a UE overlap in time with multiple non-overlapping UL transmissions from
the UE, the UE performs the SL transmissions if at least one SL transmission is prioritized over all UL transmissions
subject to the UE processing timeline with respect to the first SL transmission and the first UL transmission.

When one or more UL transmissions from a UE overlap in time with multiple non-overlapping SL transmissions, the
UE performs the UL transmissions if at least one UL transmission is prioritized over all SL transmissions subject to the
UE processing timeline with respect to the first SL transmission and the first UL transmission.

When one SL transmission overlaps in time with one or more overlapping UL transmissions, the UE performs the SL
transmission if the SL transmission is prioritized over all UL transmissions subject to both the UE multiplexing and
processing timelines with respect to the first SL transmission and the first UL transmission, where the UE processing
timeline with respect to the first SL transmission and the first UL transmission is same as when one or more SL
transmissions overlap in time with multiple non-overlapping UL transmissions.

When one SL transmission overlaps in time with one or more overlapping UL transmissions, the UE performs the UL
transmission if at least one UL transmission is prioritized over the SL transmission subject to both the UE multiplexing
and processing timelines with respect to the first SL transmission and the first UL transmission, where the UE
processing timeline with respect to the first SL transmission and the first UL transmission is same as when one or more
SL transmissions overlap in time with multiple non-overlapping UL transmissions.

16.3 UE procedure for reporting HARQ-ACK on sidelink


A UE can be indicated by an SCI format scheduling a PSSCH reception, in one or more sub-channels from a number of
PSSCH
subch sub-channels, to transmit a PSFCH with HARQ-ACK information in response to the PSSCH reception. The UE
provides HARQ-ACK information that includes ACK or NACK, or only NACK.

A UE can be provided, by sl-PSFCH-Period, a number of slots in a resource pool for a period of PSFCH transmission
occasion resources. If the number is zero, PSFCH transmissions from the UE in the resource pool are disabled.

A UE expects that a slot %′௞ௌ௅ (0 ≤ ) < ,′௠௔௫ ) has a PSFCH transmission occasion resource if ) mod PSSCH
PSFCH
= 0,
ௌ௅
where %′௞ is defined in [6, TS 38.214], and ,′௠௔௫ is a number of slots that belong to the resource pool within 10240
PSFCH
msec according to [6, TS 38.214], and PSSCH is provided by sl-PSFCH-Period.

A UE may be indicated by higher layers to not transmit a PSFCH in response to a PSSCH reception [11, TS 38.321].

If a UE receives a PSSCH in a resource pool and the HARQ feedback enabled/disabled indicator field in an associated
SCI format 2-A or a SCI format 2-B has value 1 [5, TS 38.212], the UE provides the HARQ-ACK information in a
PSFCH transmission in the resource pool. The UE transmits the PSFCH in a first slot that includes PSFCH resources
and is at least a number of slots, provided by sl-MinTimeGapPSFCH, of the resource pool after a last slot of the PSSCH
reception.
PSFCH
A UE is provided by sl-PSFCH-RB-Set a set of PRB, set PRBs in a resource pool for PSFCH transmission in a PRB of
the resource pool. For a number of subch sub-channels for the resource pool, provided by sl-NumSubchannel, and a
PSFCH
number of PSSCH slots associated with a PSFCH slot that is less than or equal to PSSCH , the UE allocates the
PSFCH PSFCH PSFCH PSFCH PSFCH

PSFCH PSFCH PSFCH
PSSCH slots associated with the PSFCH slot and sub-channel ., where subch, slot = PRB, set 0subch ⋅ PSSCH , 0 ≤
PSFCH
 < PSSCH , 0 ≤ . < subch , and the allocation starts in an ascending order of  and continues in an ascending order of ..
PSFCH PSFCH
The UE expects that PRB, set is a multiple of subch ∙ PSSCH .

The second OFDM symbol  ′of PSFCH transmission in a slot is defined as  = startSLsymbols+ lengthSLsymbols - 2.

A UE determines a number of PSFCH resources available for multiplexing HARQ-ACK information in a PSFCH

transmission as &PRB, CS = type ⋅ subch, slot ⋅ CS where CS is a number of cyclic shift pairs for the resource
pool provided by sl-NumMuxCS-Pair and, based on an indication by sl-PSFCH-CandidateResourceType,
PSFCH PSFCH
- if sl-PSFCH-CandidateResourceType is configured as startSubCH, type = 1 and the subch, slot PRBs are
associated with the starting sub-channel of the corresponding PSSCH;

PRBs are associated with one or more sub-channels from the subch sub-channels of the corresponding PSSCH.
PSFCH PSFCH
The PSFCH resources are first indexed according to an ascending order of the PRB index, from the type ⋅ subch, slot
PSFCH
PRBs, and then according to an ascending order of the cyclic shift pair index from the CS cyclic shift pairs.

A UE determines an index of a PSFCH resource for a PSFCH transmission in response to a PSSCH reception as
PSFCH
ID + ୍ୈ 
&PRB, CS where ID is a physical layer source ID provided by SCI format 2-A or 2-B [5, TS 38.212]
scheduling the PSSCH reception, and ID is the identity of the UE receiving the PSSCH as indicated by higher layers
if the UE detects a SCI format 2-A with Cast type indicator field value of "01"; otherwise, ID is zero.

A UE determines a 0 value, for computing a value of cyclic shift  [4, TS 38.211], from a cyclic shift pair index

corresponding to a PSFCH resource index and from CS using Table 16.3-1.

16.3.1 UE procedure for receiving HARQ-ACK on sidelink


A UE that transmitted a PSSCH scheduled by a SCI format 2-A or a SCI format 2-B that indicates HARQ feedback
enabled, attempts to receive associated PSFCHs according to PSFCH resources determined as described in clause 16.3.
The UE determines an ACK or a NACK value for HARQ-ACK information provided in each PSFCH resource as
described in [10, TS 38.133]. The UE does not determine both an ACK value and a NACK value at a same time for a
PSFCH resource.

For each PSFCH reception occasion, from a number of PSFCH reception occasions, the UE generates HARQ-ACK
information to report to higher layers. For generating the HARQ-ACK information, the UE can be indicated by a SCI
format to perform one of the following

- if the UE receives a PSFCH associated with a SCI format 2-A with Cast type indicator field value of "10"

- report to higher layers HARQ-ACK information with same value as a value of HARQ-ACK information that
the UE determines from the PSFCH reception

- if the UE receives a PSFCH associated with a SCI format 2-A with Cast type indicator field value of "01"

- report an ACK value to higher layers if the UE determines an ACK value from at least one PSFCH reception
occasion from the number of PSFCH reception occasions in PSFCH resources corresponding to every
identity ID of UEs that the UE expects to receive corresponding PSSCHs as described in clause 16.3;
otherwise, report a NACK value to higher layers

- if the UE receives a PSFCH associated with a SCI format 2-B or a SCI format 2-A with Cast type indicator field
value of "11"

- report to higher layers an ACK value if the UE determines absence of PSFCH reception for the PSFCH
reception occasion; otherwise, report a NACK value to higher layers

16.4 UE procedure for transmitting PSCCH


A UE can be provided a number of symbols in a resource pool, by sl-TimeResourcePSCCH, starting from a second
symbol that is available for SL transmissions in a slot, and a number of PRBs in the resource pool, by sl-

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 173 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

FreqResourcePSCCH, starting from the lowest PRB of the lowest sub-channel of the associated PSSCH, for a PSCCH
transmission with a SCI format 1-A.

A UE that transmits a PSCCH with SCI format 1-A using sidelink resource allocation mode 2 [6, TS 38.214] sets

- "Resource reservation period" as an index in sl-ResourceReservePeriodList corresponding to a reservation


period provided by higher layers [11, TS 38.321], if the UE is provided sl-MultiReserveResource

- the values of the frequency resource assignment field and the time resource assignment field as described in [6,
TS 38.214] to indicate  resources from a set ൛&y ൟ of resources selected by higher layers as described in [11, TS
38.321] with  smallest slot indices $݅ for 0 ≤  ≤  − 1 such that $0 < $1 < ⋯ < $ܰ−1 ≤ $0 + 31, where:

-  = minୱୣ୪ୣୡ୲ୣୢ , ୫ୟ୶_୰ୣୱୣ୰୴ୣ , where selected is a number of resources in the set ൛&y ൟ with slot indices

sl-MaxNumPerReserve

- each resource, from the set of 3&y 4 resources, corresponds to subCH contiguous sub-channels and a slot in a
set of slots {%′௬ௌ௅ }, where subCH is the number of sub-channels available for PSSCH/PSCCH transmission in a
slot
ܵ‫ܮ‬ ܵ‫ܮ‬ ܵ‫ܮ‬
- ൫%′0 , %′1 , %′2 , . . . ൯ is a set of slots in a sidelink resource pool [6, TS 38.214]

- $0 is an index of a slot where the PSCCH with SCI format 1-A is transmitted.

A UE that transmits a PSCCH with SCI format 1-A using sidelink resource allocation mode 1 [6, TS 38.214] sets

- the values of the frequency resource assignment field and the time resource assignment field for the SCI format
1-A transmitted in the -th resource for PSCCH/PSSCH transmission provided by a dynamic grant or by a SL
configured grant, where  = 51, … , 6 and M is the total number of resources for PSCCH/PSSCH transmission
provided by a dynamic grant or the number of resources for PSCCH/PSSCH transmission in a period provided
by a SL configured grant type 1 or SL configured grant type 2, as follows:

- the frequency resource assignment field and time resource assignment field indicate the -th to -th
resources as described in [6, TS 38.214].

For decoding of a SCI format 1-A, a UE may assume that a number of bits provided by sl-NumReservedBits can have
any value.

16.5 UE procedure for reporting HARQ-ACK on uplink


A UE can be provided PUCCH resources or PUSCH resources [12, TS 38.331] to report HARQ-ACK information that
the UE generates based on HARQ-ACK information that the UE obtains from PSFCH receptions, or from absence of
PSFCH receptions. The UE reports HARQ-ACK information on the primary cell of the PUCCH group, as described in
clause 9, of the cell where the UE monitors PDCCH for detection of DCI format 3_0.

For SL configured grant Type 1 or Type 2 PSSCH transmissions by a UE within a time period provided by sl-
PeriodCG, the UE generates one HARQ-ACK information bit in response to the PSFCH receptions to multiplex in a
PUCCH transmission occasion that is after a last time resource, in a set of time resources.

For PSSCH transmissions scheduled by a DCI format 3_0, a UE generates HARQ-ACK information in response to
PSFCH receptions to multiplex in a PUCCH transmission occasion that is after a last time resource in a set of time
resources provided by the DCI format 3_0.

For each PSFCH reception occasion, from a number of PSFCH reception occasions, the UE generates HARQ-ACK
information to report in a PUCCH or PUSCH transmission. The UE can be indicated by a SCI format to perform one of
the following and the UE constructs a HARQ-ACK codeword with HARQ-ACK information, when applicable

- if the UE receives a PSFCH associated with a SCI format 2-A with Cast type indicator field value of "10"

- generate HARQ-ACK information with same value as a value of HARQ-ACK information the UE
determines from a PSFCH reception in the PSFCH reception occasion and, if the UE determines that a
PSFCH is not received at the PSFCH reception occasion, generate NACK

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 174 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

- if the UE receives a PSFCH associated with a SCI format 2-A with Cast type indicator field value of "01"

- generate ACK if the UE determines ACK from at least one PSFCH reception occasion, from the number of
PSFCH reception occasions, in PSFCH resources corresponding to every identity ID of the UEs that the UE
expects to receive the PSSCH, as described in clause 16.3; otherwise, generate NACK

- if the UE receives a PSFCH associated with a SCI format 2-B or a SCI format 2-A with Cast type indicator field
value of "11"

- generate ACK when the UE determines absence of PSFCH reception for each PSFCH reception occasion
from the number of PSFCH reception occasions; otherwise, generate NACK

After a UE transmits PSSCHs and receives PSFCHs in corresponding PSFCH resource occasions, the priority value of
HARQ-ACK information is same as the priority value of the PSSCH transmissions that is associated with the PSFCH
reception occasions providing the HARQ-ACK information.

The UE generates a NACK when, due to prioritization, as described in clause 16.2.4, the UE does not receive PSFCH in
any PSFCH reception occasion associated with a PSSCH transmission in a resource provided by a DCI format 3_0 or,
for a configured grant, in a resource provided in a single period and for which the UE is provided a PUCCH resource to
report HARQ-ACK information. The priority value of the NACK is same as the priority value of the PSSCH
transmission.

The UE generates a NACK when, due to prioritization as described in clause 16.2.4, the UE does not transmit a PSSCH
in any of the resources provided by a DCI format 3_0 or, for a configured grant, in any of the resources provided in a
single period and for which the UE is provided a PUCCH resource to report HARQ-ACK information. The priority
value of the NACK is same as the priority value of the PSSCH that was not transmitted due to prioritization.

The UE generates an ACK if the UE does not transmit a PSCCH with a SCI format 1-A scheduling a PSSCH in any of
the resources provided by a configured grant in a single period and for which the UE is provided a PUCCH resource to
report HARQ-ACK information. The priority value of the ACK is same as the largest priority value among the possible
priority values for the configured grant.

For reporting HARQ-ACK information on uplink corresponding to one or multiple PSSCH transmissions with a
corresponding SCI format with the field 'HARQ feedback enabled/disabled indicator' set to disabled, the UE generates
HARQ-ACK information with the contents instructed by higher layer. The priority value of the HARQ-ACK
information is same as the priority value of the PSSCH transmission.

A UE does not expect to be provided PUCCH resources or PUSCH resources to report HARQ-ACK information that
start earlier than ,௣௥௘௣ =  + 1 ∙ 2048 + 144 ∙ 7 ∙ 2ିఓ ∙ ,௖ after the end of a last symbol of a last PSFCH reception
occasion, from a number of PSFCH reception occasions that the UE generates HARQ-ACK information to report in a
PUCCH or PUSCH transmission, where

With reference to slots for PUCCH transmissions and for a number of PSFCH reception occasions ending in slot , the
UE provides the generated HARQ-ACK information in a PUCCH transmission within slot  + ), subject to the
overlapping conditions in clause 9.2.5, where ) is a number of slots indicated by a PSFCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing
indicator field, if present, in a DCI format indicating a slot for PUCCH transmission to report the HARQ-ACK
information, or ) is provided by sl-PSFCH-ToPUCCH-r16 for a transmission scheduled by a DCI format or for a SL
configured grant type 2, or by sl-PSFCH-ToPUCCH-CG-Type1 for a SL configured grant type 1. ) = 0 corresponds to
a last slot for a PUCCH transmission that would overlap with the last PSFCH reception occasion assuming that the start
of the sidelink frame is same as the start of the downlink frame [4, TS 38.211].

For a PSSCH transmission by a UE that is scheduled by a DCI format, or for a SL configured grant Type 2 PSSCH
transmission activated by a DCI format, the DCI format indicates to the UE that a PUCCH resource is not provided
when a value of the PUCCH resource indicator field is zero and a value of PSFCH-to-HARQ feedback timing indicator
field, if present, is zero. For a SL configured grant Type 2 PSSCH transmission without a corresponding PDCCH, the
DCI format activating the SL configured grant Type 2 indicates to the UE that a PUCCH resource is not provided when
a value of the PUCCH resource indicator field is zero and a value of PSFCH-to-HARQ feedback timing indicator field,
if present, is zero. For a SL configured grant Type 1 PSSCH transmission, a PUCCH resource can be provided by sl-
N1PUCCH-AN and sl-PSFCH-ToPUCCH-CG-Type1. For transmission of HARQ-ACK information corresponding
only to a SL configured grant Type 2 PSSCH transmission without a corresponding PDCCH, a UE can be provided a
PUCCH resource by sl-N1PUCCH-AN-Type2. If a PUCCH resource is not provided, the UE does not transmit a
PUCCH with generated HARQ-ACK information from PSFCH reception occasions.

For a PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information, a UE determines a PUCCH resource after determining a set
of PUCCH resources from up to four PUCCH resource sets provided by sl-PUCCH-Config-r16, for 8௎஼ூ HARQ-ACK
information bits, as described in clause 9.2.1. The PUCCH resource determination is based on a PUCCH resource
indicator field [5, TS 38.212] in a last DCI format 3_0, among the DCI formats 3_0 that have a value of a PSFCH-to-
HARQ_feedback timing indicator field indicating a same slot for the PUCCH transmission, that the UE detects and for
which the UE transmits corresponding HARQ-ACK information in the PUCCH where, for PUCCH resource
determination, detected DCI formats are indexed in an ascending order across PDCCH monitoring occasion indexes.

The PUCCH resource indicator field values map to values of a set of PUCCH resource indexes, as described in clause
9.2.3.

A UE transmits a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information using PUCCH format 0 or PUCCH format 1 or PUCCH
format 2 or PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4 as described in clause 9.2.3.

A UE does not expect to multiplex HARQ-ACK information for more than one SL configured grants in a same
PUCCH.

A priority value of a PUCCH transmission with one or more sidelink HARQ-ACK information bits is the smallest
priority value for the one or more HARQ-ACK information bits.

In the following, the CRC for DCI format 3_0 is scrambled with a SL-RNTI or a SL-CS-RNTI.

16.5.1 Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook determination


This clause applies if the UE is configured with pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook = semi-static.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 176 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

If a UE is configured a SL configured grant Type 1, and the UE is configured a SL configured grant Type 2 or to
monitor PDCCH for detection of DCI format 3_0 with CRC scrambled by SL-RNTI or SL-CS-RNTI, and the UE is
provided a set of slot timing values +ଵ associated with a SL BWP by sl-PSFCH-ToPUCCH and sl-PSFCH-ToPUCCH-
CG-Type1, the sl-PSFCH-ToPUCCH-CG-Type1 is one of sl-PSFCH-ToPUCCH.
A UE reports HARQ-ACK information for PSSCH transmissions with corresponding PSFCH reception occasions in
slot  only in a HARQ-ACK codebook that the UE includes in a PUCCH or PUSCH transmission in slot  + ), where
) is a number of slots indicated by the PSFCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field in a DCI format 3_0
scheduling the PSSCH transmissions, or by a value of PSFCH-to-HARQ feedback timing indicator field in a DCI
format 3_0 activating a SL configured grant Type-2 transmission, or by a value of sl-PSFCH-ToPUCCH for a SL
configured grant Type-1. If the UE reports HARQ-ACK information for the PSSCH transmissions with corresponding
PSFCH reception occasions in a slot other than slot  + ) , the UE sets a value for each corresponding HARQ-ACK
information bit to NACK.

If a UE reports HARQ-ACK information in a PUCCH only for

- PSFCH reception occasions associated with PSSCH transmissions scheduled by a DCI format 3_0 with counter
SAI field value of 1, or

- PSFCH reception occasions associated with PSSCH transmissions corresponding to a SL configured grant

within a set ஺ of occasions for candidate PSSCH transmissions with corresponding PSFCH reception occasions as
determined in clause 16.5.1.1, the UE determines a HARQ-ACK codebook only for the PSFCH reception occasion
associated with PSSCH transmissions scheduled by DCI format 3_0 or only for the PSFCH reception occasion
associated with PSSCH transmissions corresponding to a SL configured grant according to corresponding set ஺ of
occasions, where a value of a counter SAI in DCI format 3_0 is according to Table 16.5.2.1-1. Otherwise, the
procedures in clause 16.5.1.1 and in clause 16.5.1.2 for a HARQ-ACK codebook determination apply.

16.5.1.1 Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook in physical uplink control channel


For a SL BWP on a serving cell  and an active UL BWP on the primary cell, as described in clause 12, a UE
determines a set ஺ of occasions for candidate PSSCH transmissions with corresponding PSFCH reception occasions
for which the UE can multiplex corresponding HARQ-ACK information in a PUCCH transmission in slot ௎ . The
determination is based on:

a) a set of slot timing values +ଵ associated with the SL BWP where +ଵ is provided by sl-PSFCH-ToPUCCH for
DCI format 3_0 or by sl-PSFCH-ToPUCCH-CG-Type1

b) the ratio 2ఓSLିఓUL between the sidelink SCS configuration SL and the uplink SCS configuration ୙୐ provided by
subcarrierSpacing in BWP-Sidelink and BWP-Uplink for the SL BWP and the active UL BWP, respectively

c) a set of sidelink resource pool bitmaps

d) a value of a period of PSFCH transmission occasion resources for each sidelink resource pool provided by a
respective sl-PSFCH-Period

For the set of slot timing values +ଵ , the UE determines a set ஺ of occasions for candidate PSSCH transmissions with

The cardinality of the set ஺ defines a total number  of occasions for candidate PSSCH transmissions with

16.5.1.2 Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook in physical uplink shared channel


If a UE would multiplex HARQ-ACK information in a PUSCH transmission that is not scheduled by a DCI format or is
scheduled by a DCI format without an SAI field, then

- if the UE

- has not received any PDCCH with a DCI format 3_0 scheduling PSSCH transmissions with corresponding
PSFCH reception occasions that the UE transmits corresponding HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH,
based on a value of a respective PSFCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field in a DCI format

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 178 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

scheduling the PSSCH transmissions or on the value of PSFCH-to-HARQ feedback timing indicator field in
a DCI format 3_0 activating a SL configured grant Type 2 transmission, or

- has not been provided PSSCH resources with corresponding PSFCH reception occasions that the UE
transmits corresponding HARQ-ACK information based on the value of sl-PSFCH-ToPUCCH-CG-Type1 for
a SL configured grant Type 1, in any of the set ஺ of occasions for candidate PSSCH transmissions with
corresponding PSFCH reception occasions, as described in clause 16.5.1.1,

the UE does not multiplex HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH transmission;

- else the UE generates the HARQ-ACK codebook as described in clause 16.5.1.1, unless the UE generates
HARQ-ACK information only for

- PSFCH reception occasions associated with PSSCH transmissions corresponding to a SL configured grant, or

- PSFCH reception occasions associated with PSSCH transmissions that are scheduled by DCI format 3_0 with
a counter SAI field value of 1 in the set ஺ of occasions for candidate PSSCH transmissions with
corresponding PSFCH reception occasions,

in which case the UE generates HARQ-ACK information only for the PSFCH reception occasions as described
in clause 16.5.1.

A UE sets to NACK value in the HARQ-ACK codebook any HARQ-ACK information corresponding to PSFCH
reception occasions associated with PSSCH transmissions scheduled by a DCI format 3_0 that the UE detects in a
PDCCH monitoring occasion that starts after a PDCCH monitoring occasion where the UE detects a DCI format
scheduling the PUSCH transmission.

If a UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK information in a PUSCH transmission that is scheduled by a DCI format that includes
a SAI field, the UE generates the HARQ-ACK codebook as described in clause 16.5.1.1 when a value of the SAI field
SAI = 1. The UE does not generate a HARQ-ACK codebook for multiplexing in the PUSCH

16.5.2.1 Type-2 HARQ-ACK codebook in physical uplink control channel


A UE determines monitoring occasions for PDCCH with DCI format 3_0 for scheduling PSSCH transmissions with
associated PSFCH reception occasions on an active DL BWP of a serving cell  , as described in clause 10.1, and for
which the UE transmits HARQ-ACK information in a same PUCCH in slot
based on

- PSFCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field values, or a value provided by sl-PSFCH-ToPUCCH-CG-


Type1, for PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information in slot
in response to PSFCH receptions;

- time gap field in DCI format 3_0 for scheduling PSSCH transmissions with associated PSFCH receptions;

- time resource assignment in DCI format 3_0 for scheduling PSSCH transmissions with associated PSFCH
receptions;

- a set of configured sidelink resource pool bitmaps;

- a value of a period of PSFCH resources provided in sl-PSFCH-Period;

- a value of a minimum time gap provided in sl-MinTimeGapPSFCH.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 179 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

The set of PDCCH monitoring occasions for DCI format 3_0 for scheduling PSSCH transmissions with associated
PSFCH reception occasions is defined as the PDCCH monitoring occasions in the active DL BWP of the configured
serving cell, indexed in ascending order of start time of the associated search space sets. The cardinality of the set of
PDCCH monitoring occasions defines a total number  of PDCCH monitoring occasions.

A value of a counter sidelink assignment indicator (SAI) field in DCI format 3_0 denotes an accumulative number of
PDCCH monitoring occasions where PSSCH transmissions with associated PSFCH receptions are scheduled, up to a
current PDCCH monitoring occasion, in ascending order of PDCCH monitoring occasion index , where 0 ≤  < .

16.5.2.2 Type-2 HARQ-ACK codebook in physical uplink shared channel


If a UE would multiplex HARQ-ACK information in a PUSCH transmission that is not scheduled by a DCI format or is
scheduled by a DCI format without an SAI field, then

- if the UE

- has not received any PDCCH within the monitoring occasions for DCI format 3_0 for scheduling PSSCH
with corresponding PSFCH reception occasions on any serving cell, and

- does not have HARQ-ACK information in response to a PSSCH transmission with corresponding PSFCH
reception occasions associated with a SL configured grant to multiplex in the PUSCH, as described in clause
16.5.2.1,

the UE does not multiplex HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH transmission;

- else, the UE generates and multiplexes in the PUSCH transmission the HARQ-ACK codebook as described in
clause 16.5.2.1.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.213 version 16.6.0 Release 16 181 ETSI TS 138 213 V16.6.0 (2021-08)

If a UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK information in a PUSCH transmission that is scheduled by a DCI format that includes
a SAI field, the UE generates the HARQ-ACK codebook as described in clause 16.5.2.1, with the following
modifications:

- For the pseudo-code for the HARQ-ACK codebook generation in clause 16.5.2.1, after the completion of the 
loop, the UE sets ௧௘௠௣ = SAI
UL where  UL is the value of the SAI field in the DCI format according to Table
SAI
16.5.2.2-1.

If a UE

- UL
is scheduled for a PUSCH transmission by a DCI format that includes a SAI field with value T-SAI = 4, and
- has not received any PDCCH within the monitoring occasions for PDCCH with DCI format 3_0 for scheduling
PSSCH with corresponding PSFCH reception occasions on a serving cell, and

- does not have HARQ-ACK information in response to PSFCH reception occasions associated with a SL
configured grant to multiplex in the PUSCH, as described in clause 16.5.2.1,

the UE does not multiplex HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH transmission.

16.6 UE procedure for LTE sidelink transmission


If the UE detects a DCI format 3_1 with CRC scrambled by SL Semi-Persistent Scheduling V-RNTI in slot
, the DCI
format 3_1 activates or releases an LTE sidelink SPS configuration that is indicated by a SL SPS configuration index
field [5, TS 38.212]. If the DCI format 3_1 activates an SL SPS configuration, the UE procedure for transmitting a
PSCCH and a PSSCH is as described in [13, TS 36.213] except that a transmission starts no earlier than ஽஼ூ − ౐ఽ ×


େ × 10 + ! + 4 +  ms, where ஽஼ூ is a start time of slot
, ்஺ and ஼ are defined in [4, TS 38.211], ! is a value

indicated by a Timing offset field in DCI format 3_1, and  is a value indicated by SL index field in DCI format 3_1 if
the SL index field is present; otherwise,  = 0.

16.7 Operation for in-device coexistence


If a UE would transmit or receive a first channel/signal using E-UTRA radio access and a second channel/signal using
NR radio access, when

- the first channel/signal and the second channel/signal are time-division multiplexed, and

- the UE knows the frame indexes of the first channel/signal and the frame indexes of the second channel/signal,

the UE transmits or receives each channel/signal so that the subframe boundary of the second channel/signal is aligned
with the subframe boundary of the first channel/signal where the subframe boundary alignment is achieved by UE
implementation means.
