    Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive a SystemInformationBlockType1 from an eNB. The UE may determine that the eNB supports Fifth Generation Core (5GC) operation if the SystemInformationBlockType1 message includes a plmn-Identity-5GC-r15 parameter. The UE may transmit a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message to establish an RRC connection. If it is determined that the eNB supports 5GC operation, and if the UE supports 5GC operation, the UE may encode the RRC connection request message in accordance with a default new radio packet data convergence protocol (NR PDCP) configuration; and may use NR PDCP for one or more subsequent messages.

    Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of communication over common control channels. For example, an apparatus may include logic and circuitry configured to cause a User Equipment (UE) to determine a selected Common Control Channel (CCCH) message configuration from a first predefined message configuration and a second predefined message configuration, the first predefined message configuration having a first predefined message bit-size, the second predefined message configuration having a second predefined message bit-size; to generate an Uplink (UL) CCCH message according to the selected CCCH message configuration, the UL CCCH message comprising a Medium Access Control (MAC) header comprising a Logical Channel Identify (ID) (LCID) field having a value corresponding to the selected CCCH message configuration; and to transmit the UL CCCH message to a Next Generation Node B (gNB) over a logical channel corresponding to the selected CCCH message configuration.

    Abstract: Various embodiments herein provide techniques for low power, high accuracy positioning (LPHAP) in a wireless cellular network. For example, the techniques may be used for a user equipment (UE) in RRC_INACTIVE and/or RRC_IDLE mode. In some embodiments, the UE may notify the network of a LPHAP requirement and/or capability. This may enable the network (e.g., location management function (LMF) and/or next generation Node B (gNB) to perform positioning in a power efficient way.

    Abstract: An apparatus of a Radio Access Network (RAN) node, a system, and a method. The apparatus includes one or more processors to, during a non-dual connectivity (non-DC) radio link control (RLC) acknowledged mode (AM) handover of a user equipment (UE) from a source RAN node to the RAN node: process a message including information on at least one of an uplink (UL) COUNT value, a downlink (DL) COUNT value, or a hyper frame number (HFN) corresponding to UL or DL packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) data units (DUs) communicated between the UE and the source RAN node; determine the at least one of the UL COUNT value, the DL COUNT value or the HFN from the message; and process the PDCP DUs based on the at least one of the UL COUNT value, the DL COUNT value.
