Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive downlink control information (DCI) that schedules a transport block (TB) that includes multiple code blocks. The UE may determine a transport block size (TBS) based on the DCI. The UE may attempt to decode the code blocks. The UE may, if the TBS is greater than a predetermined threshold: bundle the code blocks into code block groups for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement; and transmit a HARQ bit per code block group. The UE may, if the TBS is less than or equal to the threshold, transmit a HARQ bit that indicates whether a decode failure has occurred for at least one of the code blocks of the TB.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods using or implementing full-dimension multi-input multi-output (FD-MIMO) and providing collision reduction by transmitting data to an evolved Node-B (eNB) on an uplink (UL) resource; and receiving an acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgment (NACK) on a physical HARQ-ACK indicator channel (PHICH), responsive to transmitting the data on the UL resource. The PHICH may be mapped to a least physical resource block (PRB) that is offset by a PHICH offset. The PHICH offset may include a group offset and a sequence offset relative to a transport block (TB) index and first PRB index of a corresponding uplink shared channel. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) over an OFDMA-based uplink. In some embodiments, UCI symbols are mapped to resource elements (REs) in the time/frequency resource grid to maximize frequency diversity. In some embodiments, UCI is mapped in a manner that takes into account channel estimation performance by mapping UCI symbols to those REs that are closest (in terms of OFDM subcarriers/symbols) to REs that carry reference signals.

Abstract: Devices and methods of reducing overall Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) of user equipment (UE) using a large amount of carrier aggregation are generally described. The UE may receive a subframe from an enhanced NodeB (eNB). The subframe may contain a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) formed in accordance with a Downlink Control information (DCI) format. The DCI format may comprise a Downlink Assignment Index (DAI) for Time Division Duplexed (TDD) and Frequency Division Duplexed (FDD) operation. The UE may determine, dependent on the DAI, a number and ordering of Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) bits to be transmitted on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) and subsequently transmit the HARQ-ACK bits.

Abstract: User equipment and base stations can enable access to secondary radio access technology (S-RAT), a cross radio access technology (RAT) scheduling between a primary RAT (P-RAT) and a secondary RAT (S-RAT) and/or cross-scheduling in a same RAT with different optimizations and use/partition for different applications (e.g., a regular partition with a carrier resource (referred to as P-RAT) and an additional resource partition/region for device-to-device (D2D) or machine-type-communication (MTC) application (referred to as S-RAT)). Cross-RAT/partition-scheduling can include when S-RAT is scheduled by P-RAT or when P-RAT is scheduled by S-RAT.

Abstract: Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB), User Equipment (UE), and methods for flexible duplex communication are generally described herein. The eNB may transmit a downlink control information (DCI) block to the UE during a group of time-division duplex (TDD) sub-frames. The eNB may further receive an uplink control information (UCI) block from the UE during the group of TDD sub-frames. A first candidate flexible duplex format for the TDD sub-frames may include a downlink control portion and an uplink control portion. A second candidate flexible duplex format for the TDD sub-frames may include a downlink control portion and may exclude uplink control portions.

Abstract: An eNodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and method of providing a quasi-orthogonal multiple access (QOMA) resources are generally described. The UE receives allocation of orthogonal multiple access (OMA) and non-OMA (NOMA) resources. The UE transmits data up to a maximum NOMA rate and NOMA Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) using the NOMA resources without receiving an explicit transmission grant from the eNB. The eNB may allocate multiple NOMA regions associated with different maximum rates, MCSs, number of UEs, UE types, applications and sizes. If the data exceeds the NOMA conditions or the UE is unable to transmit data using the allocated NOMA resources or does not receive an acknowledgement from the eNB regarding reception of the transmitted data, the UE may request an explicit grant of the OMA resources from the eNB and, upon receiving an allocation of the OMA resources, subsequently transmit the data using the allocated OMA resources.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for beam management is disclosed. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI), wherein the TCI is configured for a control channel and a data channel for all bandwidth parts (BWPs) of the UE or all component carriers (CCs) of the UE. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a synchronization signal block (SSB) or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for beam management with a repetition parameter set to “ON” transmitted in one BWP or one CC in a first set of symbols. The UE can be configured to identify, at the UE, a scheduling restriction for the first set of symbols for the control channel and the data channel, wherein the scheduling restriction indicates that downlink transmission in the first set of symbols is not expected.

Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive downlink control information (DCI) that indicates an allocation for a new radio (NR) physical uplink shared channel (NR PUSCH) transmission, by the UE, in a channel of multiple physical resource blocks (PRBs) in a slot that comprises: a predetermined data region, and a predetermined control region reserved for NR physical uplink control channel (NR PUCCH) transmissions. The DCI may be configurable to indicate whether the allocation includes one or more of the PRBs in the control region. The allocation may include one or more of the PRBs in one or more symbol periods in the data region and may be configurable to include one or more of the PRBs in one or more symbol periods in the control region.
