    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure may include monitoring, at a physical layer, for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) trigger for a PUSCH transmission, determining, at the physical layer, the PUSCH trigger is not received, wherein a wireless communication device is not to perform the PUSCH transmission based on the determination that the PUSCH trigger is not received, and considering, at a medium access control (MAC) entity, the PUSCH transmission to have been performed. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    摘要: Described is an apparatus of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) operable to communicate with a User Equipment (UE) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to initiate a Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) procedure on a bandwidth of the wireless network, the bandwidth being unlicensed spectrum. The second circuitry may be operable to generate a transmission if the LBT procedure indicates that the bandwidth is idle, the transmission comprising a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) preamble portion and a message portion.

    摘要: Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The eNB may encode an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) for transmission in a sub-frame in first physical resource blocks (PRBs). The ePDCCH may indicate: a transmission of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in accordance with a wideband coverage enhancement (WCE), and second PRBs to be used for the transmission of the PDSCH. The eNB may encode the PDSCH for transmission. The eNB may configure transceiver circuitry to transmit the PDSCH in a plurality of subframes, wherein transmission of the PDSCH is repeated in each sub-frame of the plurality of sub-frames in the second PRBs as part of the WCE. The ePDCCH may be transmitted in a starting sub-frame of the plurality in the first PRBs.

    摘要: Provided herein are method and apparatus for cross retransmission between Grant-less Uplink transmission (GUL) and Scheduled Uplink transmission (SUL). An embodiment provides an apparatus for a user equipment (UE) comprising baseband circuitry including one or more processors to: encode an uplink (UL) transmission data for transmission to an evolved Node B (eNB) on an un-licensed spectrum; determine a mode of re-transmission for the UL transmission as a scheduled mode in which the re-transmission is based on a re-transmission grant derived from downlink control information (DCI) received from the eNB or a grant-less mode in which the re-transmission is performed without the re-transmission grant from the eNB; and encode the re-transmission of the UL transmission based on the determined mode. Also provided is hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for GUL and SUL. At least some embodiments allow for maximum channel occupancy time (MCOT) sharing.

    摘要: Embodiments of a next generation Node-B (gNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. A gNB may be configurable to operate as a master gNB (MgNB). The MgNB may transmit radio-resource control (RRC) signaling to provide information for dual connectivity to allow the UE to utilize radio resources of both a master cell group (MCG) associated with the MgNB and a secondary cell group (SCG) associated with a secondary gNB (SgNB). The MgNB may transmit, to the SgNB, an SgNB release request message that indicates a partial suspension of the dual connectivity, wherein: a first portion of a configuration for the SCG is to be maintained and a second portion of the configuration for the SCG is to be released.
