Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for multi-TRP by a UE, including out of order delivery of PDSCH, PUSCH, and/or DL ACK/NACK. The UE may receive, from a base station, a configuration that may include multiple control resource set (CORESET) poos and each CORESET pool may be associated with an index value. The UE may determine that at least two DCIs of the multiple DCIs end at a common symbol and determine, based on one or more predetermined rules, when the UE may be scheduled to receive PDSCHs, transmit PUSCHs, and/or transmit ACK/NACKs from CORESETs associated with the at least two DCIs.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform methods for Fifth Generation New Radio (5G NR) frequency range two (FR2) based communications beam management. The UE may configure, via communications with a base station, serving the UE, a group ID for PUCCH resources within a group of PUCCHs, e.g., for FR2 based communications. The UE may receive, from the base station, an update to one or more PUCCH resources within the group of PUCCHs via a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) that may include one of a resource ID indicating an update to a PUCCH resource or the group ID to update the group of PUCCH resources. The UE may update, based on the MAC-CE, the one or more PUCCH resources within the group of PUCCHs.

Abstract: A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), or a new radio NB (gNB)) can process or generate a configuration of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring in different search spaces sets independently from one another in order to manage different services optimally. A processor of the network device can be configured to receive physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates of a PDCCH in a slot for channel estimation across search spaces of the slot. Different priorities can be determined among the PDCCH candidates in the slot based on a priority rule. Then a number of PDCCH candidates can be skipped/dropped from monitoring based on the different priorities of the PDCCH candidates to ensure that a threshold level of blind decoding operations across a plurality of slots of the PDCCH is being satisfied. The UE can monitor a portion of the PDCCH candidates while concurrently skipping another.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE), operable for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is disclosed. The UE can monitor a downlink (DL) control channel for DL control information (DCI) at a predetermined monitoring occasion, wherein the predetermined monitoring occasion has a periodicity of P slots or P symbols with an offset Os. The UE can monitor a downlink (DL) control channel for DL control information (DCI) at a predetermined monitoring occasion, wherein Os has an offset with respect to a first slot in subframe number zero (SFN #0). The UE can monitor a downlink (DL) control channel for DL control information (DCI) at a predetermined monitoring occasion, wherein P is a positive integer greater than zero.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate communication of common control messages via multi-beam operation. Embodiments discussed herein can include BSs (Base Stations) configured to transmit scheduling information associated with a common control message via a beamformed DL (Downlink) control channel in each symbol of two or more symbols of a slot, wherein the DL control channel is one of a dedicated physical channel or a NR (New Radio) PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel); and transmit the common control message via a DL data channel based at least in part on the scheduling information.

Abstract: Provided herein are method and apparatus for channel coding in the fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) system. An embodiment provides an apparatus for a Next Generation NodeB (gNB), including circuitry, which is configured to: generate Downlink Control Information (DCI) payload for a NR-Physical Downlink Control Channel (NR-PDCCH); attach Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to the DCI payload; mask the CRC with an Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) using a bitwise modulus 2 addition operation, wherein the number of bits for the RNTI is different from the number of bits for the CRC; and perform polar encoding for the DCI payload with the masked CRC.

Abstract: Methods and architectures to determine whether carrier aggregation (CA) component carrier signals transmitted or received by a user equipment (UE) device with a primary serving cell (PCell) and one or more secondary serving cells (SCell) exceed a maximum transmission timing difference compare a relative difference of signals derived from subframe boundaries, a subslot transmission time interval (sTTI) boundary or a combination thereof, with a maximum receive timing threshold value. In the uplink, timing advance groups (TAGs) for the PCell and/SCells may be compared by the UE to a maximum transmit timing threshold value. If the maximum thresholds are exceeded, the SCell may be dropped or changed to avoid UE from exceeding its power maximums.
