    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing downlink control for multi-TRP transmission. A cellular base station may provide a downlink control information transmission to a wireless device scheduling downlink transmissions to the wireless device from multiple transmission reception points. The downlink control information may include information that can be used by the wireless device to determine any or all of physical resource block bundling sizes, frequency domain resource allocations, modulation and coding schemes, redundancy versions, phase tracking reference signal configurations, and any of various other possible types of configuration information for the downlink transmissions. The wireless device may receive the downlink transmissions from the plurality of transmission reception points in accordance with the downlink control information.

    Abstract: Methods to enhance the coverage of NR systems for coverage-limited wireless devices are disclosed. A serving base station may configure a coverage-limited UE with parameters for the UE to operate in a coverage enhancement mode through RRC signaling, DCI, or RAR grant. The UE may use the configuration parameters to determine whether to enter into the coverage enhancement mode when connecting and communicating with the serving base station. The configuration parameters may configure the UE to exploit both time diversity and frequency diversity to extend and enhance coverage when receiving the PDSCH and PDCCH channels, when transmitting the PUSCH and PUCCH channel, and when transmitting PUSCH Msg3 during random access. Advantageously, the base station may flexibly and dynamically configure the UE with coverage enhancement parameters to extend the coverage of the UE using time diversity and frequency diversity gains as the UE moves around.
