Abstract: Systems and methods of enabling sub-PRB allocation for an efeMTC UE are described. The efeMTC UE transmits to an eNB or gNB support for a sub-PRB PUSCH transmission in a capability information element of a RRC message. The RRC message is transmitted after transmission of message 3 of the RACH procedure. The efeMTC UE receives semi-statistical dedicated RRC signaling that contains a sub-PRB configuration that is dependent on a sub-PRB maximum PUSCH channel bandwidth, a CE mode, a RL configured for the PUSCH and a TDD configuration and a sub-PRB PUSCH transmission allocation. The efeMTC UE transmits a sub-PRB PUSCH transmission on the sub-PRB PUSCH transmission allocation.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for frame based equipment (FBE) framework for new radio (NR) systems operating on the unlicensed spectrum. A processor for a base station performs a first clear channel assessment (CCA) using Category-1 (CAT-1) or CAT-2 listen-before-talk (LBT) on an unlicensed spectrum. The processor transmits first downlink (DL) data to one or more user equipments (UEs) within a fixed frame period (FFP) in accordance with a frame based equipment (FBE) framework for new radio (NR) on the unlicensed spectrum. The base station operates as an initiating device and the one or more UEs operate as responding devices. The processor performs a second CCA responsive to a gap of X orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols between a DL burst and an uplink (UL) burst being greater than a threshold gap. The processor transmits second DL data within the FFP responsive to performing the second CCA.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to decode grant Self-defer less downlink control information (G-D 5 CI) received from a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) is disclosed. The UE can decode the G-DCI received from the gNB in a MulteFire system. The UE can identify grant less uplink DCI components included in the G-DCI. The UE can perform a grant less uplink transmission with the gNB based on the grant less uplink DCI components in the G-DCI received from the gNB.

Abstract: An apparatus of a network (NW) configured to: encode a new radio (NR) Discovery Reference Signal (DRS) transmission, the NR DRS transmission including a synchronization signal block (SSB) and channel state information (CSI) reference signal (RS) (CSI-RS). The apparatus is further configured to configure the NW to transmit the NR DRS transmission. The RS-CSI may be a fragmented RS-CSI including a first fragmented portion and a second fragmented portion, where the apparatus is configured to encode a symbol of the NR DRS transmission to comprise the first fragmented portion, a symbol of the SSB, and the second fragmented portion, where the symbol of the SSB is encoded on a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) portion of the NR DRS transmission.

CPC classification number: H04W74/0808 , H04W72/12
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for a UE and its serving base station in 5G NR systems to signal channel scan or channel sensing to allow channel occupancy time (COT) sharing before transmissions. The COT sharing may be initiated by the base station or by the UE by asserting a CCA indication to enable channel sensing by a UE or base station, respectively. When the UE receives and decodes the asserted CCA indication during downlink transmission, the UE may perform channel sensing during a short interframe space (SIFS) between the downlink transmission and a scheduled uplink transmission. When the UE detects that the sensed RF energy across an intended transmission band is greater than an energy detect threshold, the UE may refrain from transmitting during the scheduled uplink transmission. Otherwise or when the CCA indication is de-asserted, the UE may transmit during the scheduled uplink transmission without performing channel sensing.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications above a 52.6 GHz carrier frequency, the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling to obtain a cyclic shift value in time domain. The cyclic shift value is associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) antenna port (AP) of a plurality of available DM-RS APs. A single carrier based waveform DM-RS sequence corresponding to the DM-RS AP is generated using a base sequence and the cyclic shift value. The single carrier based waveform DM-RS sequence is encoded with uplink data for transmission to a base station using a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using a carrier above the 52.6 GHz carrier frequency.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for adjusting contention window size (CWS). An example method includes selecting a downlink (DL) burst transmitted by the gNB for use in determining the CWS and adjusting the CWS based on Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback received with respect to the selected DL burst.
