    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode control information of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) received via a resource within a control resource set (CORESET) occupying a subset of a plurality of OFDM symbols within a slot. At least one of the symbols in the subset coincides with a pre-defined symbol location associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) of a PDSCH. The DM-RS can be detected within the slot, the DM-RS starting at a symbol location that is shifted from the pre-defined symbol location and following the subset of symbols. Downlink data scheduled by the PDCCH and received via the PDSCH can be decoded, where the decoding is based on the detected DM-RS.

    Abstract: Downlink control information techniques for wireless communications with shorter TTI (S-TTI) length are disclosed. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode signaling indicating a duration of a time window, the time window comprising a plurality of S-TTIs forming a single TTI. Absence of a discontinuous reception (DRX) indicator is detected within control information received within a first S-TTI of the plurality of S-TTIs. Upon detecting the absence of the DRX indicator within received control information, a S-PDCCH within each of the plurality of S-TTIs is monitored during the duration. Scheduling information received via the S-PDCCH within one of the plurality of S-TTIs is decoded, and data is encoded for transmission on a shared data channel based on the scheduling information.

At least one of the symbols in the subset coincides with a pre-defined symbol location associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) of a PDSCII. The DM-RS can be detected within the slot, the DM-RS starting at a symbol location that is shifted from the pre-defined symbol location and following the subset of symbols. Downlink data scheduled by the PDCCH and received via the PDSCH can be decoded, where the decoding is based on the detected DM-RS.

    Abstract: Described herein is a channel state information (CSI) calculation method for non-coherent joint transmission by using a dependency between CSI reported for each CSI. In one embodiment, configuration of CSI reporting is such that CSI calculated for one CSI process (denoted as the reference CSI process) can be used for interference calculation for another CSI process (denoted as the dependent CSI process).

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications, the processing circuitry is to decode a plurality of CSI-RSs received from a base station on a corresponding plurality of beams. DCI received via a PDCCH is decoded, the DCI activating reporting of beam emissions information associated with the plurality of beams. A CSI report is encoded with the beam emissions information for transmission to the base station, the beam emissions information comprising a flag for each beam of the plurality of beams indicating whether the beam can be used for uplink beam indication. Configuration signaling is decoded with the uplink beam indication, the uplink beam indication based on the beam emissions information and including a CRI of a selected beam of the plurality of beams. Data is encoded for transmission via an uplink channel using the selected beam.

    Abstract: A UE can include processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) transmission or a grant-free transmission, the processing circuitry is to decode RRC signaling from a base station, the RRC signaling configuring a plurality of transmission configuration information (TCI) candidates indicating a first set of transmission beams for an initial transmission on an SPS PDSCH. The initial transmission uses an initial transmission beam that is selected based on a TCI beam index. A MAC CE from the base station is decoded, the MAC CE indicating a re-configuration of the plurality of TCI candidates to include at least a second set of transmission beams for the SPS PDSCH. A transmission beam is selected from the second set of transmission beams based on the TCI beam index. Downlink data received in a subsequent transmission via the selected transmission beam on the SPS PDSCH is decoded.
