    Abstract: An apparatus of a base station, system and method. The apparatus includes a memory and processing circuitry configured to: determine a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a first component carrier; encode a first signal to be transmitted on the PDCCH, the first signal including downlink control information (DCI) on resources for a second signal to be transmitted on a second component carrier, wherein the DCI is based on a predetermined numerology, and wherein respective numerologies of the first component carrier and the second component carrier are different from one another. The processing circuitry is further to cause transmission of the first signal on the PDCCH, wherein a receiver of the second signal is to process the second signal based on the control information in the first signal.

    Abstract: Technology for a transmitter operable to perform data transmissions using low density parity check (LDPC) codes is disclosed. The transmitter can determine soft buffer information (Nsoft) for a receiver. The transmitter can determine a soft buffer partition per HARQ process (NIR) for the UE. The transmitter can obtain, for a transport block, a number of code block segments (C). The transmitter can select a shift size value (z). The transmitter can determine an amount of soft buffer available for the code block segments (Ncb) based on NIR, C, and z. The transmitter can encode the code block segments based on an LDPC coding scheme to obtain encoded parity bits. The transmitter can select a subset of the encoded parity bits based on the determined amount of soft buffer associated with the code block segments.
