Abstract: Embodiments described herein encode data for multiple-segment transmission in a communication channel by encoding payload bits with an outer code and distributing the outer encoded payload bits to a plurality of N element coders, where N is an integer greater than one. At each of the N element coders the respectively input outer encoded payload bits are encoded with a respective element code. Outputs of the N element coders are encoded with an inner code such that the inner code applied to at least one of the outputs of the N element coders is a function of the output of at least one other of the N element coders. Finally, N discrete inner coded outputs are provided for transmission in respective N discrete segments of a wireless channel. The examples present polar element coders and the inner code combines outputs of certain element coders with an exclusive-OR function.

Abstract: Signaling is received (or transmitted) to configure a UE with multiple transmit beams, each for receiving beam-specific DCI. A beam-specific current DCI is received at the UE (or transmitted from a network) on the transmit beam(s), including information about beam-specific previous DCIs transmitted to the UE on any of the multiple transmit beams within a predefined time window preceding a time unit in which the current DCI was received. Information about the beam-specific previous DCIs is used to determine that at least one of the multiple transmit beams has been blocked. Each of the multiple transmit beams that have been determined to be blocked is reported to (and received by) the network. In response to receiving from the UE a report indicating at least one multiple transmit beams has been blocked, the network reconfigures the UE with a different set of multiple transmit beams each for beam-specific DCI.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for beam failure detection and/or beam failure recovery procedures, for instance, for multi-panel user equipment (UEs) are provided. One method may include transmitting, by a UE, a beam report to a network to indicate an association between at least two downlink reference signals and at least two antenna panels at the user equipment or to indicate a selection of at least two downlink reference signals that will be used for downlink reception at the user equipment simultaneously. The method may also include activating the antenna panels corresponding to one or more of the at least two downlink reference signals, based on transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states updated by the network or based on the selection of the at least two downlink reference signals, and detecting beam failure based on at least two sets of beam failure detection resources for the active antenna panels.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for blind physical broadcast channel detection for narrowband new radio. The method may include detecting at least one synchronization signal. The method may also include determining, in response to detecting the synchronization signal, whether one or more predefined conditions of a user equipment have been met. At least one candidate pattern of a physical broadcast channel may be determined when the one or more predefined conditions have been met. The physical broadcast channel may be received with the at least one candidate pattern of the physical broadcast channel. Based on a determination of whether the physical broadcast channel was correctly received, a system information block physical downlink control channel may be received with the at least one candidate pattern of the physical broadcast channel, or the at least one candidate pattern of the physical broadcast channel may be modified.

Abstract: A method includes determining whether a downlink beam signal is being received from a base station (502); when the downlink beam signal is being received from the base station, determining whether a measurable property of the downlink beam signal does not meet a preselected threshold (504); when the downlink beam signal is not being received from the base station or when the measurable property of the downlink beam signal does not meet the preselected threshold, transmitting a message to the base station indicating that at least one uplink beam corresponding to the downlink beam has failed (506); and receiving a reply message from the base station with information required to determine a new uplink beam (508). An alternative method includes determining whether at least one uplink beam signal is being received from a user equipment (602); determining whether a measurable property of the at least one uplink beam signal does not meet a preselected threshold, when the at least one uplink beam signal is being received from the user equipment (604); and transmitting a message to the user equipment to initiate uplink beam recovery, when at least one uplink beam signal is not being received from the user equipment or when the measurable property of the at least one uplink beam signal does not meet the preselected threshold (606).
