Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration information received from a Next Generation Node-B (gNB). The configuration information includes a cell-specific base sequence hopping pattern. A PUCCH base sequence is selected from a plurality of available PUCCH base sequences based on the cell-specific base sequence hopping pattern and UCI information. A cyclic shift is applied to the PUCCH base sequence to generate a cyclically shifted PUCCH sequence. The cyclically shifted PUCCH sequence is encoded for transmission to the gNB using a PUCCH physical resource. The cyclically shifted PUCCH sequence carries the UCI and is code division multiplexed (CDM) with at least another cyclically shifted PUCCH sequence within the PUCCH physical resource.

Abstract:
Methods and architectures to reduce latency in next generation wireless networks such as LTE and/or new radio (NR), includes adjusting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) techniques to selectively skip acknowledgements (ACKs) in various embodiments, and to configure one or more code block groups (CBG) designating code blocks for retransmission according to a code block group index bitmap present in received downlink control information (DCI).
Abstract:
An apparatus configured to be employed in a user equipment (UE) associated with a new radio (NR) system is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a processing circuit configured to determine an NR-physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource to be utilized by the UE, for a transmission of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledge (ACK) feedback message to a gNodeB, wherein the determined NR-PUCCH resource comprises a HARQ-PUCCH resource. In some embodiments, the HARQ-ACK feedback message comprises a feedback message generated at the UE in response to processing a downlink (DL) data transmission signal comprising data received from the gNodeB. In some embodiments, the processing circuit is further configured to generate a transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback message using the determined HARQ-PUCCH resource.

Techniques discussed herein can facilitate configuration of DM (Demodulation)-RS and a spreading sequence for UCI (Uplink Control Information) for NR (New Radio) PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel). One example embodiment employable at a UE (User Equipment) can comprise processing circuitry configured to: process first signaling that indicates a first sequence index for DM-RS and a second sequence index for a spreading sequence for UCI symbols; and generate a NR PUCCH comprising the DM-RS based on the first sequence index and the UCI symbols based on the second sequence index.

Techniques discussed herein can facilitate BW (Bandwidth) adaptation and operation involving multiple BW parts for NR (New Radio) UL (Uplink). One example embodiment employable by a UE (User Equipment) comprises processing circuitry configured to process first signaling indicating a first set of frequency resources (comprising at least one of a first RF (Radio Frequency) BW or one or more first BW parts) for a NR UL data channel and a second set of frequency resources (comprising at least one of a second RF BW or one or more second BW parts) for a NR UL control channel; generate the NR UL data channel and/or the NR UL control channel; and map the NR UL data channel and/or the NR UL control channel based at least in part on one or more of the first set of frequency resources or the second set of frequency resources.
Abstract:
In order for a terminal or mobile device to initially access a new radio (NR) network, the terminal performs a random access channel (RACH) procedure with a base station. NR provides variable transmission schemes with respect to waveform, numerology, transmission bandwidth, and transmission duration. Mechanisms are described that provide transmission scheme alignments for the RACH procedure, particular for what is referred to as message 3 transmitted by the terminal.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive a control message that configures a set of time and frequency resources allocated for new radio (NR) physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions. The time resources may include one or more symbols in a slot and the frequency resources may include one or more physical resource blocks. The UE may decode a downlink control information (DCI) that indicates time and frequency resources from the set of configured time and frequency resources. The UE may transmit an NR PUCCH in the indicated time and frequency resources.

The first circuitry may be operable to generate a transmission over a set of frequency resources and over a subframe spanning one or more slots in time. The second circuitry may be operable to format a Downlink Control channel for the transmission. The second circuitry may also be operable to format a Downlink Control and Measurement channel for the transmission. The third circuitry may be operable to detect an Uplink Control and Measurement Channel for the transmission. The fourth circuitry may be operable to allocate a data channel for the transmission.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are described to detect a first primary synchronization signal using a first numerology. The primary synchronization signal may use a common numerology to a wireless system. A downlink numerology is determined for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based in part upon the first primary synchronization signal. Data from the PDCCH is decoded based upon the downlink numerology.
