Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode control information of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) received via a resource within a control resource set (CORESET) occupying a subset of a plurality of OFDM symbols within a slot. At least one of the symbols in the subset coincides with a pre-defined symbol location associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) of a PDSCII. The DM-RS can be detected within the slot, the DM-RS starting at a symbol location that is shifted from the pre-defined symbol location and following the subset of symbols. Downlink data scheduled by the PDCCH and received via the PDSCH can be decoded, where the decoding is based on the detected DM-RS.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate power ramping of PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel), for example, in connection with change of best gNB (next generation Node B) Tx (Transmit) beam and/or dynamic beam switching for control and/or data channels. Power ramping techniques discussed herein can comprise techniques for determining at least one of a power ramping counter or power offset for PRACH in connection with a change in best DL (Downlink) Tx (Transmit) beam. Dynamic beam switching techniques discussed herein can comprise employing DCI comprising at least one beam indication field indicating a beam index of a new beam of a BPL (Beam Pair Link) for at least one of a data channel or a control SS (Search Space).

Abstract: A method of support of aggressive user equipment (UE) minimum processing times for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) processing and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) preparation in new radio (NR) is disclosed. The method includes indicating or causing to indicate a capability from the UE to the network in the form of capability reporting for support of Capability 2 processing times, and multiplexing or causing to multiplex scheduling instances with Capabilities 1 or 2 based on the indication. The method also includes applying or causing to apply a relaxation to the minimum UE processing times, N1, indicating time between end of PDSCH to earliest start of corresponding hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) feedback transmission when the PDSCH has specific durations and/or mapping types or has time-domain overlaps with the scheduling physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). A corresponding apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium are also disclosed.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate transmission and reception of group common PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) for NR (New Radio). One example embodiment employable by a UE (User Equipment) comprises processing circuitry configured to: process higher layer signaling that configures a set of combinations for slot formats for the UE; detect, via blind decoding on at least a portion of a control resource set, a DCI (Downlink Control Information) message that indicates a combination for slot formats of the set of combinations for slot formats via a SFI (slot format indicator); and determine a slot format for one or more slots based on the indicated combination for slot formats, wherein the slot format indicates, for each symbol of the one or more slots, whether that symbol is DL (Downlink), UL (Uplink), or a flexible symbol in the slot format.

Abstract: An apparatus is configured to be employed within a base station. The apparatus comprises baseband circuitry which includes a radio frequency (RF) interface and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to select one or more recovery channels based on one or more recovery factors; determine a beam recovery frame structure using the selected one or more recovery channels and based at least partially on beam correspondence capabilities; and provide the selected one or more recovery channels and the determined beam recovery frame structure to the RF interface for transmission to a user equipment (UE) device.

Abstract: In embodiments, a base station may identify a parameter related to a zero power (ZP) resource element (RE) mapping set in a physical resource block (PRB). The ZP RE mapping set may relate to resources that are not to be used to transmit a physical channel transmission. The base station may then transmit, to a user equipment (UE), an indication of the ZP RE mapping set. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
