Abstract:
An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry, where to configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications above a 52.6 GHz carrier frequency, the processing circuitry is to decode higher layer signaling, the higher layer signaling including a default slot duration for a transmission of control signaling. The control signaling includes a synchronization signal (SS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) signaling. Synchronization information within a SS block is decoded. The SS block is received within a SS burst set and occupying a plurality of symbols within a slot having the default slot duration. A synchronization procedure is performed with a next generation Node-B (gNB) based on the synchronization information within the SS block and the PBCH signaling.
Abstract:
An apparatus of user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to a memory, where to configure the UE for DMRS processing in an NR network, the processing circuitry is to generate a plurality of binary sequences of length L, the binary sequences being arranged according to a signal quality metric. A set of CGSs is generated using the binary sequences, based on minimizing cross-correlation between subsets of binary sequences of different lengths selected from the plurality of binary sequences. A CGS is selected from the set of CGSs as a DMRS, based on uplink PRB resource allocation. The DMRS is encoded for transmission, where the encoding includes BPSK modulation and discrete Fourier transformation (DFT) spreading of the DMRS.

Embodiments of a system and method for reporting uplink control information (UCI) are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a first and second component carrier (CC) is provided for a user equipment (UE). The first and second CC are configured with transmission mode (TM) 10 and TMs 1-9, respectively. A first channel state information (CSI) report for the first CC with TM 10 and a second CSI report for the second CC with at least one of TMs 1-9 are scheduled for transmission in a subframe. A collision is detected between the first and second CSI reports. Priority is assigned to the first CSI report or the second CSI report based on a prioritization parameter. The prioritized CSI report is transmitted based the prioritization parameter.

Abstract:
Described herein is a channel state information (CSI) calculation method for non-coherent joint transmission by using a dependency between CSI reported for each CSI. In one embodiment, configuration of CSI reporting is such that CSI calculated for one CSI process (denoted as the reference CSI process) can be used for interference calculation for another CSI process (denoted as the dependent CSI process).
