    Abstract: Blind coverage for wireless devices is enhanced varying one or more transmission characteristics of a repeated transmission sent or received by apparatuses, where the repeated transmission includes, for example a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) and/or a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmissions. Varied characteristics may include a start time for each repetition, a duration for each repetition, a start frequency for each repetition, a bandwidth of each repetition, a number of repetitions for each subframe, and/or a number of repetitions for each slot. Repetitions may be within a Bandwidth Part (BWP) or span multiple BWPs. Repetitions may vary from one to another in start time, start frequency, duration, bandwidth, and slot and subframe patterns. Higher level signalling, such as Radio Resource Control (RRC) signalling may be used to control the inclusion or omission of a DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) in repeated transmissions.

    Abstract: Methods are described for enabling 5G MBS operation. The disclosed methods overcome limitations in LTE and UTRAN MBMS operation, address the unique characteristic of 5G NR, and meet requirements of 5G MBS use cases. Disclosed are techniques for MCCH configuration procedures, including change notification procedures; triggers for MCCH acquisition; a RAN paging procedure for triggering counting for UEs in RRC INACTIVE; triggers for an MBS interest indication based on BWP switching; a timescale for scheduling of an MRB transport channel, a signal control channel, and a traffic channel; procedures for scheduling MCCH, including a scheduling configuration, an SCS, and a BWP; procedures for scheduling (P)TrCH; and procedures for scheduling MTCH.
