Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer programs for NR PUCCH coverage extension are disclosed. A plurality of slots to be allocated for a user equipment may be determined by a base station. One or more control data blocks in one or more of the slots may be mapped to at least one of: a short physical uplink control channel and a long physical uplink control channel based on a type of the one or more slots, wherein the type of the slots includes one of: an uplink-only slot; a bi-directional, uplink slot; and a bi-directional, downlink slot. The plurality of slots may be allocated to the user equipment, and uplink control information on the one or more control data blocks may be received from the user equipment.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for signal block mapping are provided. One method includes configuring, by a network node (e.g., base station or eNB), a group of discovery signaling blocks. The method may then include mapping the discovery signaling blocks of the group onto a subframe structure, including the group information into each of the discovery signaling blocks, and transmitting the discovery signaling blocks in the subframe structure.
