    Abstract: An apparatus may use inactive uplink portions of a downlink CC to transmit SRS to an eNB. At times there may be a collision between the SRS transmission and uplink transmissions or downlink transmissions on another CC. The apparatus receives a carrier aggregation configuration for a first downlink CC and a second CC, determines to transmit an uplink transmission on the second CC or to receive a downlink transmission on the second CC, determines that the SRS would at least partially collide with the uplink transmission or the downlink transmission, and determines to adjust at least one of the uplink transmission, the SRS transmission, or reception of the downlink transmission based on the determination of the collision and an interruption time to transmit the SRS in the uplink portion of the first CC.

    Abstract: Various aspects described herein relate to reducing transmission latency in unlicensed spectrum. These latency reduction techniques include enabling ultra low latency (ULL) traffic to gain fast channel access. These latency reduction techniques further include updating a size of a contention window for channel access. In addition, these latency reduction techniques include enhancing CPDCCH-based signaling to accommodate the ULL frame structure. Further, these latency reduction techniques include providing robust operation against bursty interference for ULL transmissions. Moreover, these techniques include managing DRX for ULL. Additionally, these latency reduction techniques include joint scheduling of different TTI durations. These latency reduction techniques further include updating SRS transmission opportunities. In addition, these latency reduction techniques include reducing latency associated with PRACH transmissions. Further, these latency reduction techniques include reducing ULL transmission delays by either ignoring or cancelling scheduled uplink (e.g., LTE) transmissions.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may determine a scrambling sequence for a control channel, wherein the scrambling sequence is determined using a same identifier irrespective of whether the control channel is associated with a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) or another type of RNTI, and wherein the scrambling sequence is determined based at least in part on an identifier associated with the wireless communication device and a value associated with an RNTI of the wireless communication device; and transmit or receive the control channel. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: There is a large chunk of unlicensed/shared high-frequency spectrum above the 5G radio frequency that begin to be utilized for 5G applications. 5G currently supports a limited number of waveforms. The other waveforms may be beneficial to the shared high-frequency bands, such as SC-QAM/SC-FDM for downlink transmission and SC-QAM for uplink transmission to improve link budget and to reduce complexity. A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium at a user equipment (UE) are disclosed to determine a first waveform for a broadcast channel, based in part on a received synchronization block signal from a base station. Then the UE further determines a second waveform for at least one signaling channel, based in part on the received broadcast channel.

    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. In certain configurations, the apparatus may include an eMBB UE. The apparatus may monitor a single preconfigured mini-slot in each of a plurality of slots for a PI. The apparatus may receive the PI in the single preconfigured mini-slot of a first slot of the plurality of slots. In certain aspects, the PI may include a resource index associated with a reduced transmission power by the UE. In certain other aspects, the resource index may include one or more resources in a second slot. The apparatus may transmit at least one packet with the reduced transmission power on the one or more resources in the second slot or refraining from transmitting the at least one packet on the one or more resources in the second slot.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus mapping virtual resource blocks (VRBs) to physical resource blocks (PRBs) and using the mapping in wireless communications, for example, in new radio (NR) technologies. An exemplary method includes determining a first interleaved mapping that maps a first interleaving unit of N consecutive first virtual resource blocks (VRBs) to N consecutive first physical resource blocks (PRBs), wherein each first PRB comprises a set of frequency resources during a period, transmitting a first grant allocating the first interleaving unit of first VRBs to a first user equipment (UE), and communicating with the first UE via the first PRBs mapped to the first VRBs of the first interleaving unit.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a base station. The apparatus may transmit a first grant to a UE. The apparatus may determine whether an acknowledgment to the first grant is received. When the acknowledgment to the first grant fails to be received by the apparatus, the apparatus may transmit, to the UE, a second grant including information regarding the first grant. In another aspect, an apparatus may be a UE. The apparatus may receive a first grant. The first grant may include a first Mayday bit. The apparatus may receive a second grant. The second grant may include a TTI count corresponding to a number of unacknowledged TTIs. The second grant may further include a second Mayday bit. The apparatus may determine an acknowledgment based on the TTI count and the first and second Mayday bits.

    Abstract: When a base station is capable of using multiple different types of waveforms for a downlink communication to a UE, the UE may waste processing resources attempting to receive and/or process the downlink communication. For example, the UE may cycle through various possible types of waveforms in an attempt to process the downlink communication. Techniques described herein use waveform signaling for downlink communications to notify the UE of a type of waveform being used for a downlink communication, thereby conserving UE resources (e.g., processing resources, memory resources, RF resources, and/or the like) that would otherwise be wasted attempting to process the downlink communication using multiple types of waveforms.
