Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate multi-transmission reception point (multi-TRP) operation for new radio (NR). One example apparatus may be employed at a user equipment (UE) and may comprise one or more processors configured to transmit uplink control information (UCI) on two physical uplink control channels (PUCCHs). The two PUCCHs occupy different symbols in the same slot.

Abstract: A base station may generate first configuration information to configure a first user equipment (“UE”) to operate using a first bandwidth within a wideband carrier of a cell, generate second configuration information to configure a second UE to operate using a second bandwidth within the wideband carrier of the cell, and cause transmission of the first and second configuration information to the first and second UEs, respectively. The base station may configure the first and second UEs based upon capabilities received from each UE, respectively.

Abstract: A user equipment wireless communication device in a wireless communication environment receives a signal from the network that includes a radio network temporary ID. From the radio network temporary ID, the user equipment is capable of determining whether a phase tracking reference signal is present based on the radio network temporary ID. If any of these are identified by the radio network temporary ID, then the user equipment determines that a phase tracking reference signal is present. After the user equipment has determined that the phase tracking reference signal is present, the user equipment can then determine which phase tracking reference signal antenna ports are to be used based on the values of the transmitted precoding matrix indicator value and the transmit rank indicator.

Abstract: An approach is described for a base station (gNB) that includes the following features. The features include transmitting, by the gNB, a PDCCH signal to a user equipment (UE), wherein the PDCCH signal includes an indication of a PDCCH ordered 2-step RACH procedure. The features also include receiving, by the gNB, a first step of the 2-step RACH procedure, wherein the first step includes a PRACH preamble and an associated MsgA physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) from the UE.

Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are disclosed herein. The UE may receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that schedules a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a slot, and on a component carrier (CC) of a plurality of CCs. The PDCCH may include a total downlink assignment index (DAI) and a counter DAI for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback of the PDSCH. The total DAI may indicate a total number of pairs of CCs and slots for the HARQ-ACK feedback. The UE may encode the HARQ-ACK feedback to include a bit that indicates whether the PDSCH is successfully decoded. A size of the HARQ-ACK feedback may be based on the total DAI, and a position of the bit may be based on the counter DAI.
