    Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) to perform reduced transmission time interval (TTI) data transmission within a wireless communication network is disclosed. The UE can process a process, for transmission to an eNodeB, control information within a short transmission time interval (TTI) over a short TTI resource block (RB) set within a short physical uplink control channel (S-PUCCH), wherein the short TTI is shorter in time than a TTI that has a duration of at least one (1) millisecond, and wherein the S-PUCCH is a subset of resources available for a short physical uplink shared channel (S-PUSCH) and the S-PUSCH is a subset of resources available for a legacy PUSCH transmission; and process, for transmission to the eNodeB, data within the short TTI over the short TTI RB set within the S-PUSCH.

    Abstract: Embodiments of efeMTC synchronization signals for enhanced cell search and enhanced system information acquisition are described. In some embodiments, an apparatus of a base station (BS) is configured to generate a length-x sequence for an efeMTC synchronization signal, the length-x sequence configured for repetition in frequency domain within 6 physical resource blocks (PRB). In some embodiments, to generate the length-x sequence, the BS may be configured to select any one index of the set of root indices {1, 2, 63}, excluding the root indices 25, 29 and 34, to correspond to a different physical-layer cell identity (PCID). In some embodiments, the BS may be configured to encode RRC signaling to include a System Information Block (SIB) comprising configuration information for transmission of the efeMTC synchronization signal, and transmit the length-x sequence as the efeMTC synchronization signal in frequency resources according to the SIB.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive, from a gNB, a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) that indicates a number of narrowband internet-of-things (NB-IoT) downlink subframes for a downlink scheduling delay of a narrowband physical downlink shared channel (NPDSCH) in one or more radio frames configured for time-division duplexing (TDD) operation. Subframes of the one or more radio frames may include uplink subframes, NB-IoT downlink subframes for downlink NB-IoT transmissions, and downlink subframes for other downlink transmissions. The UE may determine the downlink scheduling delay based on an earliest subframe for which a count of NB-IoT downlink subframes is equal to the number of NB-IoT downlink subframes indicated in the NPDCCH.

    Abstract: Described is an apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with a fifth-generation Evolved Node-B (gNB) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to detect a beam failure event. The second circuitry may be operable to generate a beam failure recovery request for transmission to the gNB, in response to the beam failure event. The third circuitry my be operable to monitor for Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a search space configured by the gNB, subsequent to a transmission of the beam failure recovery request.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), an Evolved Node-B (eNB), and methods for communication of uplink messages are generally described herein. The UE may receive, from an eNB, one or more downlink control messages that may indicate an allocation of PUCCH channel resources. The UE may transmit an uplink control message in at least a portion of the allocated PUCCH channel resources. When the PUCCH channel resources are allocated according to an edge configuration, the PUCCH channel resources may be restricted to a lower edge portion and an upper edge portion of the network channel resources. When the PUCCH channel resources are allocated according to a distributed configuration, the PUCCH channel resources may include one or more middle portions of the network channel resources. The middle portions may be exclusive to the lower edge and upper edge portions.
