    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for a user equipment (UE) to determine a transmission frequency or a time advance for an uplink transmission from the UE to a base station in a non-terrestrial wireless network (NTN) without global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) information available to the UE. A communication connection between the UE and a base station can be established. The UE can determine that GNSS information is not available, and report to the base station that the GNSS information is not available. The UE can receive, from the base station, an indication of one or more parameters for an uplink transmission from the UE to synchronize the uplink transmission. The UE can determine, based on a current transmission frequency and the received indication of the one or more parameters, a next transmission frequency and transmit the uplink transmission at the determined next transmission frequency.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for facilitating frequency hopping for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communications in 5G wireless communication systems. When inter-slot and/or inter-repetition frequency hopping is used, user equipment (UE) may transmit a first portion of symbols in a first slot using a first transmission frequency indicated by a frequency domain resource allocation. The UE may transmit a second portion of symbols in a second slot using a second offset frequency. When intra-repetition frequency hopping is used and the symbols are segmented, the UE may disable the intra-repetition frequency hopping and transmit the segmented portion of symbols using a particular transmission frequency indicated by the frequency domain resource allocation. When intra-repetition frequency hopping is used and the symbols are non-segmented, the UE may apply frequency hopping to divide a portion of symbols for transmission within a repetition.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may report physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group capabilities to a network. The UE receives a request from a network for radio access capability information and reports whether a single PUCCH group having a plurality of component carriers (CC) using more than two numerologies across the CCs is supported. The UE may also receive a request from a network for radio access capability information and report whether a PUCCH group having a plurality of CC across multiple frequency bands is supported, wherein the report is configured per band combination (BC). The UE may also receive a request from a network for radio access capability information and report support for a PUCCH location configuration for a PUCCH group having a plurality of CC across multiple frequency bands, the PUCCH location configuration indicating which bands in a band combination (BC) may be used for the PUCCH.
