Abstract: An apparatus and method for CSI reporting in the unlicensed band are described. CRS-RSs are transmitted from a RAN in narrowband data channels in the unlicensed band to an eMTC UE. The UE determines the CQI and PMI from the CRS-RSs and transmits a periodic CSI report to the RAN that contains the CQI and PMI. The periodic CSI report is received at a nsfrel th subframe of a nmframeth mframe, where nmframe satisfies nmframe mod Npd,mframe=NOFFSET,mframe where Nmframe is a reporting period in terms of mframes and NOFFSET,mframe is a reporting period offset in terms of mframes, and nsfrel satisfies nsfrel−20=NOFFSET,CQI where NOFFSET,CQI is a reporting period offset in subframes.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE), configured for coverage enhanced (CE) machine type communication (MTC) is disclosed. The UE can encode, at the UE, a UE capability message for transmission to a next generation node B (gNB) or evolved Node B (eNB), wherein the UE capability message includes a capability to support communication using a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) that includes 64 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The UE can decode, at the UE, a higher layer signaling message to configure the UE to operate in a CE mode A. The UE can decode, at the UE, data received in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission to the UE that is modulated using a 64 QAM.

Abstract: Systems and methods of enabling sub-PRB allocation for an efeMTC UE are described. The efeMTC UE transmits to an eNB or gNB support for a sub-PRB PUSCH transmission in a capability information element of a RRC message. The RRC message is transmitted after transmission of message 3 of the RACH procedure. The efeMTC UE receives semi-statistical dedicated RRC signaling that contains a sub-PRB configuration that is dependent on a sub-PRB maximum PUSCH channel bandwidth, a CE mode, a RL configured for the PUSCH and a TDD configuration and a sub-PRB PUSCH transmission allocation. The efeMTC UE transmits a sub-PRB PUSCH transmission on the sub-PRB PUSCH transmission allocation.

Abstract: Systems and methods of reducing power consumption associated with paging or cDRX mode are described. A wake-up receiver (WUR) wakes up from an idle mode or cDRX state. Whether a wake-up signal (WUS) has been received by the WUR is determined. The WUS is a low-complexity signal that is less complicated than a PDCCH or PDSCH and is repeated multiple times at resource elements as indicated in a configuration from an eNB. If received, a baseband transceiver wakes up for reception of a PDCCH for the UE in a PO when the UE is in the idle mode or a PDSCH for the UE when the UE is in the cDRX state.

Abstract: In embodiments, a base station may be able to identify whether a user equipment (UE) is to operate within the cellular network in accordance with a wideband (WB) protocol or a narrowband (NB) protocol. Based on this identification, the base station may further be able to identify a number of resource blocks (RBs) that include subcarriers occupied by enhanced narrowband control channel elements (eNCCEs). Finally, the base station may be able to transmit the eNCCEs on the subcarriers. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to report channel quality indication (CQI) information to a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) in a wideband coverage enhancement (WCE) for MulteFire system is disclosed. The UE can decode a coding rate scaling factor received from the gNB in the WCE for MulteFire system. The UE can measure a channel between the gNB and the UE. The UE can calculate a modulation and coding rate based on the channel measurement between the gNB and the UE. The UE can scale the modulation and coding rate using the coding rate scaling factor to form a scaled modulation and coding rate. The UE can select a CQI index that corresponds to the scaled modulation and coding rate. The UE can encode the CQI index for transmission to the gNB in a channel state information (CSI) report.

Abstract: Technology for a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) operable to communicate over an anchor channel for Unlicensed Internet of Things (U-IoT) is disclosed. The gNB can encode control information for periodic transmission on a set frequency of an anchor channel for U-IoT in an adaptive frequency hopping system.

Abstract: Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The eNB may encode an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) for transmission in a sub-frame in first physical resource blocks (PRBs). The ePDCCH may indicate: a transmission of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in accordance with a wideband coverage enhancement (WCE), and second PRBs to be used for the transmission of the PDSCH. The eNB may encode the PDSCH for transmission. The eNB may configure transceiver circuitry to transmit the PDSCH in a plurality of subframes, wherein transmission of the PDSCH is repeated in each sub-frame of the plurality of sub-frames in the second PRBs as part of the WCE. The ePDCCH may be transmitted in a starting sub-frame of the plurality in the first PRBs.
