Abstract:
Technology to determine a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-ACKnowledge (HARQ-ACK) codebook size for inter-band time division duplex (TDD) carrier aggregation (CA) is disclosed. In an example, a user equipment (UE) operable to determine a HARQ-ACK codebook size for inter-band TDD CA can include computer circuitry configured to: Determine a HARQ bundling window for inter-band TDD CA including a number of downlink (DL) subframes using HARQ-ACK feedback; divide the HARQ bundling window into a first part and a second part; and calculate the HARQ-ACK codebook size based on the first part and the second part. The first part can include DL subframes of configured serving cells that occur no later than the DL subframe where a downlink control information (DCI) transmission for uplink scheduling on a serving cell is conveyed, and the second part can include physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) subframes occurring after the DCI transmission of the serving cells.

Various embodiments herein provide techniques related to downlink multicast and broadcast service (MBS) data and control. In embodiments, abase station may identify, based on an active bandwidth part (BWP) of a user equipment (UE), a transmission control indicator (TCI) state list configuration related to a unicast transmission to the UE; and transmit the multicast or broadcast transmission based on the TCI state list.

Abstract:
Embodiments of a user equipment (UE) configurable for unlicensed band operation in a 5G NR system (5GS), when operating in semi-static channel access mode, for a UE-initiated channel-occupancy time (COT), is configured to transmit an uplink (UL) transmission burst, as an initiating device, starting at a beginning of fixed frame period (FFP) and ending at a symbol before an idle period of the FFP after a successful clear-channel assessment (CCA).
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) configured for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook determination in a fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) network may decode a downlink control information (DCI) format received from a generation Node B (gNB). When the DCI format triggers HARQ-ACK codebook retransmission, the UE may determine a HARQ-ACK codebook to be retransmitted based on a time-offset indicated in the DCI format. To determine the HARQ-ACK codebook to be retransmitted, the UE may determine an uplink (UL) slot that included an initial transmission of the HARQ-ACK codebook based on subtracting the time-offset from the DL slot that included the DCI. The UE may also encode a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to include the HARQ-ACK codebook determined to be retransmitted in a UL slot based on a slot offset.
Abstract:
A computer-readable storage medium stores instructions to configure a UE for joint channel estimation of uplink transmissions in a Fifth Generation New Radio (5G NR) and beyond wireless network, and to cause the UE to perform operations. The operations include decoding DCI or higher layer signaling received from a base station. The DCI or the higher layer signaling indicates a number of PUSCH repetitions forming the uplink transmissions. The operations further include decoding higher layer signaling received from the base station, the higher layer signaling indicating a size of a time domain window (TDW) associated with the uplink transmissions. The TDW has a number of slots equal to the size. Each of the PUSCH repetitions within the TDW is associated with a same carrier phase and a same transmit power.
Abstract:
A computer-readable storage medium stores instructions to configure a UE for communications using HD-FDD multiplexing In a 5G NR and beyond wireless network, and to cause the UE to perform operations. The operations include decoding DCI received via a PDCCH. The DCI indicates a dynamically scheduled DL reception on a PDSCH. The operations further include detecting an overlap between the dynamically scheduled DL reception and a semi-statically configured UL transmission on a PUSCH. The operations further include determining to perform one of the dynamically scheduled DL reception or the semi-statically configured UL transmission based on a start time (T0) of the semi-statically configured UL transmission and a pre-configured offset time (Toffset).
Abstract:
An apparatus and system are described to provide enhanced Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook transmission are described. A gNB configures a UE for hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ)-acknowledgment (ACK) (HARQ-ACK) retransmission using the enhanced Type-3 codebook using radio resource control signaling. The enhanced Type-3 codebook is triggered by downlink control information (DCI) format 1_1 or 1_2 and transmitted using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). Information in the DCI includes: whether to use configured, activated, or indicated carriers, cell indexes for the carriers, whether to use all HARQ processes, use only semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) processes, or use only non-SPS processes, DCI whether to use all priority HARQ processes, use only high priority HARQ processes, or use only low priority HARQ processes, and HARQ process range.
