Abstract: A radio access node comprises one or more processors configured to determine a first reference timing of a first communication connection between the radio access node and a second, parent radio access node; determine a second reference timing of a second communication connection between the radio access node and a third, child radio access node; a memory storing the first and second reference timings; the one or more processors further configured to generate a request for the child radio access node to perform a timing advance adjustment based on the stored first and second reference timings, so that an uplink receive signal transmitted by the child radio access node arrives at the same time at the radio access node as a downlink receive signal transmitted by the parent radio access node arrives at the radio access node in case of frequency division multiplexed signals.

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: Technology for a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) operable to encode a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource indicator field length for transmission to a user equipment (UE) for enhanced Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) (eURLLC) is disclosed. The gNB can determine the PUCCH resource indicator field length that indicates a length of a PUCCH resource indicator field, wherein the PUCCH resource indicator field length is related to transmission of a number of PUCCH symbols for eURLLC. The gNB can encode the PUCCH resource indicator field length for transmission in downlink control information (DCI) to the UE.

Abstract: Described is an apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with an Evolved Node-B (eNB) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to process a configuration transmission carrying a half-tone shifting indicator. The second circuitry may be operable to select one or more subcarrier frequencies for Uplink (UL) transmission based on the half-tone shifting indicator. The third circuitry may be operable to generate a UL transmission for the one or more subcarrier frequencies. The half-tone shifting indicator may have a first value indicating application of a half-subcarrier offset, and a second value indicating no application of the half-subcarrier offset.
