Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Next Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. A channel state information (CSI) report may include a CSI part 1 transmission and may be configurable to include a CSI part 2 transmission. The UE may determine a first number of coded modulation symbols per layer to be used for the CSI part 1 transmission on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) without uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) data. The first number of coded modulation symbols per layer may be determined as: a minimum of a first term and a second term if the CSI report includes the CSI part 2 transmission; and the second term if the CSI report does not include the CSI part 2 transmission.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for use in a wireless network for resource allocation during initial access. Some embodiments are directed to an apparatus including processor circuitry and radio front circuitry. The processor circuitry can be configured to determine, in accordance with a predetermined requirement, multiple physical resource blocks (PRBs) to be used for transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) before a dedicated PUCCH resource configuration. The radio front end circuitry coupled with the processor circuitry can be configured to transmit the PUCCH using the determined PRBs and before the dedicated PUCCH resource configuration. The dedicated PUCCH resource configuration can include initial access before Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection setup.

Abstract: Devices and methods of providing channel occupancy time (COT) are described. After a gNB acquires an unlicensed channel for a COT, the gNB indicates the COT length to a UE using a PDCCH having a DCI formed in accordance with DCI format 2_0. The slot format of the last slot of the COT is indicated using a reserved slot format indicator that is reserved to indicate the end of the COT. The reserved slot format indicator indicates a last slot format of available slot formats of DCI format 2_0. Dummy bits fill the DCI after the reserved slot format indicator. Alternatively, to indicate the COT length, a COT field dedicated to providing the COT is used in the DCI or the CRC is masked using a slot format indication Radio Network Temporary Identifier.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications above a 52.6 GHz carrier frequency, the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling to obtain a cyclic shift value in time domain. The cyclic shift value is associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) antenna port (AP) of a plurality of available DM-RS APs. A single carrier based waveform DM-RS sequence corresponding to the DM-RS AP is generated using a base sequence and the cyclic shift value. The single carrier based waveform DM-RS sequence is encoded with uplink data for transmission to a base station using a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using a carrier above the 52.6 GHz carrier frequency.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to encode a New Radio (NR) short duration physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for transmission to a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) is disclosed. The UE can identify uplink control information (UCI) for the UE. The UE can multiplex, using frequency division multiplexing (FDM) at the UE, the UCI and a pseudo-random sequence associated with a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) onto a plurality of subcarriers in one or more physical resource blocks (PRBs) of one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. The UE can encode the UCI and the pseudo-random sequence associated with the DMRS multiplexed onto the plurality of subcarriers of the one or more OFDM symbols for transmission on the NR short duration PUCCH to 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.
