Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are disclosed for determining Precoding Resource Block Groups (PRGs). In one example, a processor of a base station (BS) is configured to determine a plurality of PRGs that includes a number N consecutive Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) over which a same precoder assignment is used, starting from a reference PRB. The plurality PRGs include a first boundary PRG, a second boundary PRG, and one or more other PRGs. The first boundary PRG is located at an upper boundary of a bandwidth part. The first boundary PRG comprises fewer than N PRBs when the upper boundary of the bandwidth part is not aligned with a PRG boundary. The second boundary PRG comprises fewer than N PRBs when a lower boundary of the bandwidth part is not aligned with a PRG boundary. A downlink data channel is transmitted to a UE in accordance with the precoder assignments.

Abstract: Systems and methods of beam reporting for multiple DL processes are described. A UE receives a beam management processes configuration that provides information about beam management reference signals for beam management procedures. The UE transmits a UE capability report that indicates beam management capabilities of the UE and, later, an indication of whether the UE intends to engage in beam refinement. The UE measures the beam management reference signals and receives a beam reporting message that indicates at least one of the beam management procedures to report. In response, the UE transmits the beam report. The beam report contains beam management reference signal measurements of the beam management procedures indicated by the beam reporting message.

Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), a generation Node-B (gNB) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The UE may the UE 102 may receive from a gNB, control signaling that indicates: a first pre-coding matrix indicator (PMI) that indicates a first pre-coder for a first sub-band; and a second PMI that indicates a second pre-coder for a second sub-band. The first and second pre-coders may be included in predetermined candidate pre-coders. The UE may encode a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) block for transmission. The UE may scale the PUSCH block in the first sub-band by the first pre-coder. The UE may scale the PUSCH block in the second sub-band by the second pre-coder.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to assist a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) for beamforming is disclosed. The UE can determine a covariance matrix for a channel between the UE and the gNB. The UE can quantize the covariance matrix to obtain a quantized covariance matrix. The quantized covariance matrix can include M best diagonal entries that are selected from the covariance matrix, wherein M is an integer. The UE can encode the quantized covariance matrix as feedback for transmission to the gNB.

Abstract: Technology for a next generation node B (gNB), operable to use phase tracking reference signals (PT-RS) is disclosed. The gNB can identify a modulation and coding 5 scheme (MCS) for the UE for a bandwidth part (BWP) with a subcarrier spacing (SCS). The gNB can select a time density of the PT-RS based on the MCS. The gNB can select a frequency density of the PT-RS based on an allocated bandwidth in the BWP. The gNB can encode the time density and the frequency density, for the PT-RS for transmission to the UE in higher layer signaling.

Abstract: A method for transmitting a high priority (HP) packet from a first wireless device to a second wireless device is described. The method includes determining the presence of an HP packet for uplink transmission; determining that a communications link that uses a wireless medium for transmitting the HP packet is busy; generating a preemption request message in a frame; and transmitting the frame with the preemption request message to the second wireless device. The first wireless device can receive from the second wireless device an indication that the preemption request was accepted, such as by receiving a trigger frame with resource allocation for transmitting the HP packet or an indication of the end of a contention free period, to allow the first wireless device to contend for channel access to transmit the HP packet.

Abstract: A method of an initiating station (ISTA) can include transmitting, to a responding station (RSTA), a first indicator indicating whether the ISTA supports one or more optional preamble puncture patterns. Additionally, the method can include receiving, from the RSTA, a second indicator indicating whether the RSTA supports optional preamble puncture patterns. Furthermore and responsive to determining that the ISTA and the RSTA support optional preamble puncture patterns, the method can further include starting, according to at least one of the optional preamble puncture patterns, a ranging session with the RSTA.
