    摘要: Technology for a next generation node B (gNB), operable for new radio (NR) unlicensed communication. The gNB can encode a discovery reference signal (DRS) in a single subframe. The DRS comprising a first synchronization signal (SS) block comprising a plurality of contiguous orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols in the single subframe. The DRS comprising a second SS block comprising a plurality of contiguous OFDM symbols in the single subframe. The DRS comprising a plurality of additional OFDM symbols for an SS block in the single subframe. The gNB can send the DRS in the single subframe to a user equipment (UE). The gNB can have a memory interface configured to send to a memory the DRS.

    摘要: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for wideband coverage enhancement is disclosed. The UE can decode downlink control information (DCI) received in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The UE can identify a transport block size (TBS) scaling factor from the DCI. The UE can identify a repetition number from the DCI, wherein the repetition number configures the UE to receive or transmit one or more of data and control channel information that is repeated, in the time domain, a selected number of times based on the repetition number. The UE can encode one or more of data or control information, for transmission to a next generation node B (gNB), based on the TBS scaling factor and the repetition number.

    摘要: Systems and methods of early termination of uplink data transmissions for a UE are described. The UE transmits capacity information that indicates that the UE supports use of an ETS. The ETS indicates successful reception by the eNB of the uplink data prior to an end of a scheduled transmission period to transmit repeated instances of the data. The UE receives a schedule for repeated transmissions of the data that is based on a coverage level of the UE, and then transmits sets of one or more repetitions. After the transmission, the UE monitors a predetermined resource whether the ETS is present or whether the ETS indicates an ACK. If the ETS indicates successful reception, the UE terminates transmission of the remaining repetitions of the data and enters a sleep mode or transmits other uplink data.

    摘要: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for wideband coverage enhancement is disclosed. The UE can decode downlink control information (DCI) received in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The UE can identify a transport 5 block size (TBS) scaling factor from the DCI. The UE can identify a repetition number from the DCI, wherein the repetition number configures the UE to receive or transmit one or more of data and control channel information that is repeated, in the time domain, a selected number of times based on the repetition number. The UE can encode one or more of data or control information, for transmission to a next generation node B (gNB), based 10 on the TBS scaling factor and the repetition number.

    摘要: Machines or networked devices such as internet of things (IoT) devices operate to generate an unlicensed IoT (U-IoT) communication or enhanced Machine Type Communication (eMTC) based on frequency hopping operations on different channels. An anchor channel can be configured to carry system information and paging messages for the U-IoT/eMTC communication on the different channels. The system information and paging messages can include essential system information such as a system information block MulteFire (SIB-MF) message. Physical channels can be configured to enable component carriers anchored to a long term evolution (LTE) licensed band, and entirely comprise unlicensed carrier components that are unanchored to any LTE component carrier in a standalone configuration to enable transmission of the U-IoT communication in standalone communications in an unlicensed band.

    摘要: An apparatus of a Narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry. To configure the NB-IoT UE for open loop transmit power control, the processing circuitry is to decode a narrowband system information block (NB-SIB) to obtain a narrowband physical random access channel (NPRACH) resource set and power control information associated with the NPRACH resource set. A random access channel (RACH) preamble is encoded for transmission with or without repetitions to a base station during a RACH procedure and using the NPRACH resource set. The transmission has transmission power based on the power control information. A narrowband uplink resource assignment received during the RACH procedure is decoded. A connection setup completion message is encoded for transmission to the base station using the narrowband uplink resource assignment.
