Abstract: Techniques for channel state information (CSI) reporting are discussed. One example apparatus at a user equipment can derive, for one or more subframes of a license assisted access (LAA) secondary cell (SCell), one or more channel measurements based on reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or CSI reference signals (CSI-RS)), in those subframes; generate CSI that comprises a channel quality indicator (CQI) based on an average of the one or more channel measurements from multiple subframes comprising a first subframe and a later second subframe, wherein each orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of a second slot of the first subframe is occupied, wherein each of a first three OFDM symbols of the second subframe are occupied, and wherein each OFDM symbol between the first subframe and the second subframe is occupied; and generate a CSI report that indicates the set of CSI parameters.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for bandwidth part (BWP) configuration is disclosed. The UE can decode, at the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) signal including BWP configuration information for one or more of downlink (DL) or uplink (UL) BWP configurations, wherein the BWP configuration information comprises: subcarrier spacing for the BWP, and location and bandwidth of the BWP. The UE can encode one or more of data or control information, using the BWP configuration information, for transmission to a next generation node B (gNB). The UE can decode one or more of data or control information, using the BWP configuration information, received from the gNB.

Abstract: A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component) can process or generate a dynamic indication that indicates a transmission bandwidth based on a wideband bandwidth. One or more downlink (DL) signals can be provided with the indication of the transmission bandwidth that enables a tuning of communications within the wideband bandwidth based on the indication for new radio (NR) communications in heterogeneous network domains ranging from Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) to massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC) and Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) or the like.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may include monitoring, at a physical layer, for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) trigger for a PUSCH transmission, determining, at the physical layer, the PUSCH trigger is not received, wherein a wireless communication device is not to perform the PUSCH transmission based on the determination that the PUSCH trigger is not received, and considering, at a medium access control (MAC) entity, the PUSCH transmission to have been performed. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), or a new radio NB (gNB)) can process or generate a configuration of a physical random access channel (PRACH) over physical resource blocks (PRBs) that are interlaced in an unlicensed band in an NR unlicensed (NR-U) communication. The PRBs in the PRACH can be based on an occupied channel bandwidth (OCB) of the unlicensed band in the NR-U communication. A random access channel transmission in the PRACH can then be generated by interlacing the PRBs defining the PRACH.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE), operable for an uplink partial subframe transmission on an unlicensed carrier is disclosed. The UE can select one or more uplink (UL) partial subframe configurations based on one or more prospective lengths of a listen before talk (LBT) period, wherein each prospective length of the LBT period provides a prospective starting time. The UE can encode data for each of the one or more UL partial subframe configurations to form one or more UL partial subframe configuration encodings. The UE can identify an actual LBT period. The UE can select one of the one or more UL partial subframe configuration encodings for UL transmission of the data on the unlicensed carrier based on the actual LBT period and a corresponding prospective starting time.

Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Next Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE receive training signals from a plurality of transmit-receive points (TRPs) associated with the gNB. Each training signal may comprise a reference signal resource identifier (ID) to indicate a corresponding TRP and a corresponding transmit direction of a plurality of transmit directions. The UE may, for each transmit direction of the plurality of transmit directions, determine an average signal quality measurement based on individual signal quality measurements in multiple receive directions. The UE may select, for reporting to the gNB, a subset of the average signal quality measurements to ensure that the average signal quality measurements excluded from the subset are less than or equal to a minimum value of the average signal quality measurements in the subset.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, user equipment (UE), evolved node B (eNB), computer readable media, and methods are described for scheduling of multiple uplink transmissions in unlicensed spectrum. One embodiment involves receiving, at an eNB, a first uplink scheduling request from a UE, scheduling a plurality of uplink subframes on the unlicensed channel in response to the first uplink scheduling request, and initiating transmission of a first subframe to the first UE in response to the scheduling of the plurality of uplink subframes, wherein the first subframe comprises one or more downlink control indicators (DCIs) allocating the plurality of uplink subframes to the first UE.
