    Abstract: Control structures and techniques for transmission time interval (TTI) shortening in wireless communication systems are provided. Exemplary techniques can comprise establishing a UE device connection to a base station having a first TTI, wherein the UE device is configured to employ TTI shortening and has a second TTI different from the first TTI and monitoring a first short physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) region for a scheduled downlink (DL) transmission via the second TTI, wherein a time distribution associated with multiple second TTIs within the first TTI is determined based on a control format indicator (CFI) value indicated via the first TTI. Exemplary techniques can further comprise receiving a DL transmission via the second TTI and transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) (HARQ-ACK) feedback on an associated UL channel for HARQ-ACK feedback, wherein for a number of DL transmissions via the second TTI within one of the first TTI on the associated DL, a number of associated UL channels for HARQ-ACK feedback occur within the same one of the first TTI on the associated UL. Further control structures and techniques for TTI shortening for wireless communication systems are described.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving beam finding in a wireless communication system. In one embodiment, the method includes the base station detecting a first preamble transmission from a UE on a beam. The method also includes the base station examining extra transmissions to detect whether there are other beams which can be used to communicate with the UE. The method further includes the base station considering a beam set of the UE is complete if a rule is fulfilled, wherein the beam set of the UE includes beam(s) through which the UE could communicate with the base station.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for providing control resource set configuration in a wireless communication system are disclosed herein. In one method, a network node transmits a signal indicating at least a first duration and a bit map, wherein the first duration is time duration of a control resource set (CORESET) and the bit map indicates first symbol(s) of monitoring occasion(s) of the CORESET within a slot, and wherein a set of bit position indicates value one in the bit map. The network node is not allowed to transmit the signal such that an interval between two bit positions in the set in the bit map is smaller than a second duration.
