Abstract:
A method of wireless communication of a UE is provided. The UE determines resources of a first PDSCH and resources of second at least one PDSCH on a cell, the first PDSCH being a unicast PDSCH specific to the UE. The UE determines that the first PDSCH overlaps with the second at least one PDSCH in a time domain. The UE determines whether the second at least one PDSCH is another unicast PDSCH specific to the UE. When the second at least one PDSCH is not another unicast PDSCH specific to the UE, a duration required for decoding the first PDSCH meets a duration threshold, and the cell is in a first frequency range, the UE (a) refrains from decoding the first PDSCH independently of a transport block size of the second at least one PDSCH or (b) determines a transport block size of the second at least one PDSCH.
Abstract:
A method of uplink control information (UCI) transmission over physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is proposed. The UCI may include different information and being transmitted using different PUCCH formats. Under certain scenarios, the coded UCI bitstream size may not be assigned to an integer number of modulated symbols. To eliminate unnecessary processing as well as to utilize every bit in a modulated resource element, it is proposed to adjust the UCI codeword size to be a multiple of PUCCH modulation order.
Abstract:
A method of new radio physical broadcast channel (NR-PBCH) bit mapping is proposed to improve for NR-PBCH decoding performance under Polar codes. NR-PBCH carries 32 information bits and 24 CRC bits. Specifically, NR-PBCH uses 512-bit Polar codes to carry total 56 data bits. Different Polar code bit channels have different channel reliability. As a general rule, the most reliable Polar code bit channels are used for the 56 data bits. In accordance with a novel aspect, within the 32 NR-PBCH information bits, some of the information bits that can be known to the decoders under certain conditions and therefore are placed at the least reliable Polar code bit positions. As a result, by mapping the NR-PBCH data bits properly at the input bit positions of Polar codes, the NR-PBCH decoding performance is improved when the known bits a priori can be exploited.
Abstract:
Concepts and examples pertaining to combined coding design for efficient codeblock extension are described. A processor of a communication apparatus may combine channel polarization of a communication channel with a first coding scheme for first codeblocks of a smaller size to generate a second coding scheme. The processor may also code second codeblocks of a larger size using the second coding scheme.

The memory device is arranged for storing a data block with inter-row interleaving in a plurality of data rows of the data block and without intra-row interleaving in each of the data rows. The decoding circuit is coupled to the memory device. The decoding circuit is arranged for accessing the memory device to perform a first decoding operation with inter-row de-interleaving memory access, and accessing the memory device to perform a second decoding operation with intra-row de-interleaving memory access.
Abstract:
Examples pertaining to synchronization and radio resource management in mobile communications are described. A user equipment (UE) receives a periodic low power synchronization signal (LP-SS) from a network node via a low-power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR) of the apparatus. Then, the UE performs a synchronization based on the periodic LP-SS via the LP-WUR of the apparatus in an event that a main radio of the apparatus is in a power saving mode. The synchronization comprises at least a coarse time synchronization and a coarse frequency synchronization.
Abstract:
Examples pertaining to reference signal (RS) enhancements in mobile communications are described. An apparatus (e.g., a user equipment (UE)) may receive a minimum broadcast RS from a network node (e.g., a base station (BS)). Based on the minimum broadcast RS, the apparatus may perform basic downlink (DL) measurement. The apparatus may also receive or transmit an on-demand RS from or to the network node in a case that a triggering condition is fulfilled. Based on the on-demand RS, the apparatus may perform additional DL or uplink (UL) measurement.
