    Abstract: An apparatus of a New Radio (NR) User Equipment (UE), a method and system. The apparatus includes one or more processors to encode a two part CSI including: encode a two part CSI including: encoding information bits of a first channel state information (CSI) type and information bits of a second CSI part to generate, respectively, encoded bits of a first CSI part and encoded bits of a second CSI part, a payload size of the second CSI part being based on encoded bits of the first CSI part and further being encoded separately from information bits of the first CSI part; and mapping the encoded bits of the first CSI part onto a first physical resource and the encoded bits of the second CSI part onto a second physical resource different from the first physical resource; and configure the two part CSI in a long or short PUCCH for transmission to a NR evolved Node B (gNodeB).

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode control information of a physical down-in link control channel (PDCCH) received via a resource within a control resource set (CORESET) occupying a subset of a plurality of e OFDM symbols within a slot. At least one of the symbols in the subset coincides with a pre-defined symbol location associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) of a PDSCH. The DM-RS can be detected within the slot, the DM-RS starting at a symbol 01 location that is shifted from the pre-defined symbol location and following the subset of symbols. Downlink data scheduled by the
    PDCCH and received via the PDSCH can be decoded, where the decoding is based on the detected DM-RS.

    Abstract: User equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for channel state information (CSI) reporting in a 5G network, the processing circuitry is to decode a radio resource control (RRC) configuration message, the RRC configuration message including first configuration information to configure determination of channel quality information (CQI), a rank indicator (RI), and a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) for the CSI reporting. Second configuration information is decoded to configure codebook parameters for a high spatial resolution codebook associated with the PMI. A precoding matrix is determined based on the first configuration information, where a number of coefficients in at least one coefficient vector of the precoding matrix is configured using the second configuration information. CSI is encoded for transmission to a base station, the CSI including the RI and the PMI associated with the determined precoding matrix.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode downlink control information (DCI) from a base station, the DCI including a modulation coding scheme (MCS) index and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) allocation. A demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) is encoded for transmission to the base station within a plurality of DM-RS symbols based on the PUSCH allocation. A phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) time domain density is determined based on the MCS index and a number count of the DM-RS symbols for the DM-RS transmission. The PT-RS is encoded for transmission using a plurality of PT-RS symbols based on the determined time domain density. The plurality of symbols includes one or both of front-loaded DM-RS symbols and additional DM-RS symbols.

    Abstract: Devices and methods of joint antenna panel switching and beam selection are generally described. A user equipment (UE) can be configured to decode configuration information received via a higher layer for a plurality of receive (Rx) beams for the UE, the configuration information identifying a plurality of Rx beam indices for the plurality of Rx beams. The UE is configured to decode a physical layer (PHY) communication indicating an antenna panel index and an Rx beam index of the plurality of Rx beam indices, the antenna panel index identifying an antenna panel of a plurality of available antenna panels of the UE. The UE is configured to decode a downlink (DL) data transmission, wherein the DL data transmission is received using the antenna panel and a selected Rx beam of the plurality of Rx beams corresponding to the indicated Rx beam index.
