    Abstract: A generation-Node B (gNB) configured for unlicensed spectrum operation above 52.6 GHz in a fifth-generation new-radio (NR) system (5GS) may encode a parameter (e.g., ssb-PositionsInBurst) for transmission to a UE (e.g., in the SIB1 or UE specific RRC signalling). The parameter may indicate candidate positions of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) within a discovery reference signal (DRS) measurement timing configuration (DMTC) transmission window within slots of a system frame (SFN). During the DMTC window, the gNB may perform a LBT procedure on an unlicensed carrier of the unlicensed spectrum to determine if the unlicensed carrier is available. When the LBT is successful (i.e., the unlicensed carrier is available), the gNB may encode a discovery reference signal (DRS) for transmission on the unlicensed carrier. The DRS may include one or more of the SSBs transmitted during the candidate positions that fall within the DRS. The gNB may perform rate matching around the SSBs for a scheduled PDSCH based on the indicated parameter and transmit the rate-matched PDSCH.

    Abstract: An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry, where to configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications above a 52.6 GHz carrier frequency, the processing circuitry is to decode higher layer signaling, the higher layer signaling including a default slot duration for a transmission of control signaling The control signaling includes a synchronization signal (SS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) signaling. Synchronization information within a SS block is decoded. The SS block is received within a SS burst set and occupying a plurality of symbols within a slot having the default slot duration. A synchronization procedure is performed with a next generation Node-B (gNB) based on the synchronization information within the SS block and the PBCH signaling.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a sixth generation (6G) network may perform a random access channel (RACH) procedure with a generation node B (gNB). The UE may encode a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble for transmission in a PRACH occasion (RO) For carrier frequencies above 52.6 GHz, the UE may determine a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) (i.e., either a RA-RNTI or a MsgB-RNTI) based on an index of the PRACH occasion RO index. The UE may also decode a response from the gNB that includes the RNTI. The UE may determine the RNTI based on the RO index in a time domain and the RO index in a frequency domain.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may generate first HARQ-ACK information bits based on a first PDSCH and second HARQ-ACK information bits based on a second PDSCH. The UE may determine a first slot for an expected PUCCH transmission with the first HARQ-ACK information bits. When the UE is configured for deferring HARQ-ACK for the first PDSCH and when the first slot is unavailable for the expected PUCCH transmission, the UE may determine an earliest second slot that is available. The UE may also determine a third slot for an expected PUCCH transmission with the second HARQ-ACK information bits assigned for the second PDSCH. The resource assigned for transmission of the first HARQ-ACK information bits is used to verify the order for the first and second HARQ-ACK transmissions regardless of whether the first slot is unavailable and the second earliest slot is used for transmission of the first HARQ-ACK information bits.
