Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for a wireless communication on an unlicensed spectrum. An access point (AP) of the wireless communication system includes a processor circuitry, and radio front end circuitry coupled to the processor circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to schedule multiple transmission time intervals (multi-TTIs) in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in the unlicensed spectrum. The processor circuitry is configured to generate a downlink control information (DCI) to include the scheduled multi-TTIs and a hybrid automatic repeat and request acknowledgement (HARQACK) assessment information associated with the scheduled multi-TTIs. The radio front end circuitry is configured to transmit the DCI to a user equipment (UE) over the unlicensed spectrum.

Abstract: The present application relates to wireless devices, and more particularly to apparatus, systems, and methods for multiplexing Configured Grant (CG) transmissions in New Radio (NR) systems operating on unlicensed spectrum. In one embodiment, a method for signaling a wireless system is disclosed, comprising: determining, by a user equipment (UE), that a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) overlaps with a configured grant (CG) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) within a PUCCH group; multiplexing uplink control information (UCI) with a CG UCI based on the determination; and transmitting, by the UE to the wireless system, the multiplexed UCI with the CG UCI.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications above a 52.6 GHz carrier frequency, the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling to obtain a cyclic shift value in time domain. The cyclic shift value is associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) antenna port (AP) of a plurality of available DM-RS APs. A single carrier based waveform DM-RS sequence corresponding to the DM-RS AP is generated using a base sequence and the cyclic shift value. The single carrier based waveform DM-RS sequence is encoded with uplink data for transmission to a base station using a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using a carrier above the 52.6 GHz carrier frequency.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for a shared channel occupancy time (COT) procedure in a wireless channel of unlicensed spectrum. The shared COT can be utilized among one or more user equipment (UE) and a 5G Node B (gNB). A UE contends for access to the channel to acquire the COT, and transmits in the uplink (UL) according to the UEs time-domain configuration. When the UL transmission does not utilize the entire COT, the UE can signal to the gNB that the COT can be shared. In particular, the UE transmits an indication of a COT boundary that the gNB can use to determine when to transmit DL data in the shared COT. The COT can also be shared between two or more UEs in addition to the gNB.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for a wireless communication system in an unlicensed spectrum. A user equipment (UE) device of the wireless communication system includes a processor circuitry and radio front end circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to acquire a channel occupancy time (COT) in the unlicensed spectrum, and determine a number of remaining consecutive subframes allocated for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission to a base station. The processor circuitry is configured to generate uplink control information (UCI) to indicate a COT sharing boundary occurring at an end of the remaining consecutive subframes. The radio front end circuitry is coupled to the processor circuitry and configured to transmit the UCI in the PUSCH) transmission during one of the remaining consecutive subframes. The processor circuitry is also configured to monitor downlink transmissions from the base station following the COT sharing boundary.
