    Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for facilitating frequency hopping for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communications in 5G wireless communication systems. When inter-slot and/or inter-repetition frequency hopping is used, user equipment (UE) may transmit a first portion of symbols in a first slot using a first transmission frequency indicated by a frequency domain resource allocation. The UE may transmit a second portion of symbols in a second slot using a second offset frequency. When intra-repetition frequency hopping is used and the symbols are segmented, the UE may disable the intra-repetition frequency hopping and transmit the segmented portion of symbols using a particular transmission frequency indicated by the frequency domain resource allocation. When intra-repetition frequency hopping is used and the symbols are non-segmented, the UE may apply frequency hopping to divide a portion of symbols for transmission within a repetition.

    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments relate to a user equipment (UE) delivering an indication of one or more uplink listen-before-talk (LBT) failures to a network. The UE may identify a predetermined condition corresponding to one or more uplink listen-before-talk (LBT) failures associated with a special cell (SpCell). The UE is triggered to provide an indication of uplink LBT failure associated with the SpCell to the network based on the predetermined condition. Next, the UE may determine a type of message that is to be used to deliver the indication of uplink LBT failure associated with the SpCell to the network. The UE may transmit the type of message including the indication of uplink LBT failure associated with the SpCell to the network. Subsequently, the UE may determine that the network received the indication of uplink LBT failure associated with the SpCell.
