    Abstract: An apparatus configured to be employed in a gNodeB associated with a new radio (NR) system is disclosed. The apparatus comprises one or more processors configured to configure one or more sidelink sounding reference signals (SRS), for one or more user equipments (UEs) associated with the gNodeB, to be utilized by the one or more UEs for transmission or reception, or both, over sidelink. The one or more processors is further configured to generate one or more sidelink SRS configuration signals to be provided, respectively, to the one or more UEs, wherein each sidelink SRS configuration signal comprises sidelink SRS configuration information on the one or more sidelink SRS configured for a respective UE. The apparatus further comprises a radio frequency (RF) interface, configured to provide, to a radio frequency (RF) circuitry, the one or more sidelink SRS configuration signals, for subsequent transmission to the one or more UEs, respectively.

    Abstract: Described is an apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with an Evolved Node-B (eNB) 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 process a configuration transmission carrying a half-tone shifting indicator. The second circuitry may be operable to select one or more subcarrier frequencies for Uplink (UL) transmission based on the half-tone shifting indicator. The third circuitry may be operable to generate a UL transmission for the one or more subcarrier frequencies. The half-tone shifting indicator may have a first value indicating application of a half-subcarrier offset, and a second value indicating no application of the half-subcarrier offset.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage media associated with components and implementations of wireless communication networks, and/or portions thereof, are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus for a next generation NodeB (gNB) may include processing circuitry to determine a number of resource element groups (REGs) to be included in a resource element group bundle (REGB) for a new radio physical downlink control channel (NR-PDCCH), and generate a signal that indicates the number of the REGs. The gNB may further include encoding circuitry, coupled with the processing circuitry, to encode the signal for transmission to a user equipment (UE). Other embodiments may be disclosed throughout.

    Abstract: Technology is disclosed for a user equipment (UE) operable for wake-up signal (WUS) communication in a fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) network. The UE can be configured to: identify a resource set for a WUS with a repetition level, wherein: the resource set for the WUS includes a mapping of the WUS that associates the WUS with one or more physical resource blocks and one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, and the repetition level identifies a number of base sequences for the WUS in the resource set; and switch to a network access mode (NAM) from a power saving mode (PSM) based on a detection of the WUS in the resource set.
