    Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are disclosed for determining a position of a wireless device. In one example, an apparatus for a first wireless communication device including baseband circuitry having a radio frequency (RF) interface configured to transmit and receive RF signals is provided. The apparatus includes one or more processors configured to process a signal received from a second wireless communication device to identify at least first arrival path and a different arrival path between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device; and determine a location of the second wireless communication device based on the first arrival path and the different arrival path.

    Abstract: Techniques for transmitting and receiving beamformed transmission(s) of a common search space of a DL (Downlink) control channel are discussed. One example embodiment that can be employed at a UE (User Equipment) comprises processing circuitry configured to: select a set of receive beamforming weights for a DL (Downlink) control channel; and decode one or more control channel sets from a common search space of the DL control channel, wherein each control channel set of the one or more control channel sets is mapped to an associated symbol of one or more symbols of a slot, wherein each control channel set of the one or more control channel sets has an associated transmit beamforming, and wherein each control channel set of the one or more control channel sets comprises a common set of control information.

    Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) configured for communication of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources is disclosed. The UE can decode a radio resource control (RRC) signal indicating an SRS to transmit with a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), wherein the PUCCH and the SRS are quasi co located (QCLed) based on a spatial received parameter. The UE can encode an SRS for transmission using the spatial received parameter. The UE can encode uplink control information (UCI) for transmission in the PUCCH using the spatial received parameter. The UE can have a memory interface configured to send to a memory the spatial received parameter.
