    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes memory storing instructions and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is to implement the instructions to select a resource block group (RBG) size configuration from a set of RBG size configurations based on a bandwidth part (BWP) size. Each RBG size configuration is to indicate RBG sizes associated with respective ranges of BWP sizes, and the RBG sizes are to indicate a number of frequency-domain physical resource blocks (PRBs) for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions. The processing circuitry is further to implement the instructions to allocate PRBs for communication between the gNB device and a user equipment (UE) device via the PDSCH or PUSCH transmissions based on the selected RBG size, and to encode downlink control information (DCI) that indicates the allocated PRBs for transmission to the UE device.

    Abstract: In one example, a method for a user equipment (UE) includes generating uplink (UL) signal data. The UL signal data includes UL control information (UCI) and UL shared channel (UL-SCH), the UCI includes a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) feedback or a channel state information (CSI) report, and the CSI report includes a first CSI part and a second CSI part. One or more resource regions are allocated to transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback or the first CSI part and the second CSI part. When frequency hopping is enabled for a transmission of PUSCH, the allocated one or more resource regions for the transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback or the first CSI part and the second CSI part are substantially equally divided into two portions, and each portion is transmitted in each frequency hop, frequency first mapping is applied to the transmission of PUSCH in each frequency hop.

    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.

    Abstract: Described is an apparatus of a User Equipment (UE). The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to process a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) within a bandwidth at a start of a slot. The second circuitry may be operable to allocate a Guard Period (GP) within the bandwidth and subsequent to the PDCCH. The third circuitry may be operable to generate a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) within the bandwidth and in one or more Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols at the end of the slot. The third circuitry may also be operable to generate a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) within the bandwidth and in one or more OFDM symbols extending between the GP and the PUCCH, the PUSCH being time-division multiplexed with the PUCCH.
