    Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to identify downlink control channel candidates for receiving downlink control channel information is disclosed. The UE can decode a downlink control information (DCI) format received from an eNodeB. The DCI format can indicate a set of resource blocks (RBs) in one or more subframes allocated for reception or transmission of data or control information in a shortened transmission time interval (S-TTI). The UE can identify a subset of resource elements (REs) within the set of RBs in the one or more subframes. The subset of REs can correspond to shortened physical downlink control channel (S-PDCCH) candidates in the S-TTI of one or more subframes. The UE can attempt to decode the S-PDCCH candidates in the S-TTI of the one or more subframes. S-PDCCH candidates that are successfully decoded can cause the UE to identify the downlink control information.

    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate RS (Reference Signal) sequence generation and mapping, and/or precoder assignment, for NR (New Radio). One example embodiment employable at a NR wireless communication device comprises processing circuitry configured to: generate one or more PN (Pseudo Noise) sequences based at least in part on an initial state of a PN generator; extract, for each PRB (Physical Resource Block) of one or more PRBs, an associated portion of an associated PN sequence of the one or more PN sequences, based at least in part on a reference subcarrier index, independent of a bandwidth part configuration and of a maximum supported number of PRBs; and generate, for each PRB of the one or more PRBs, an associated set of RS(s) for that PRB based at least in part on the extracted associated portion of the associated PN sequence for that PRB.

    Abstract: Provided herein are method and apparatus for numerology configuration in non-coherent joint transmission. The disclosure provides an apparatus for a user equipment (UE), comprising circuitry configured to: determine one or more numerologies defined for at least one of different codewords, different layers, and different links for a non-coherent joint transmission (NCJT) to the UE, the NCJT comprising a first transmission from a first access node and a second transmission from a second access node; and process the NCJT according to the determined one or more numerologies. Also provided is a configuration of one or more transmission schemes for at least one of different codewords, different layers, and different links for a NCJT to the UE. Some embodiments allow for uplink NCJT with one or more numerologies defined for at least one of different codewords, different layers, and different links.

    Abstract: An eNodeB (eNB), Machine Type Communications (MTC) user equipment (UE) and method using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a non-legacy PUCCH region are generally described. The UE may be in an enhanced coverage (EC) mode. The UE may receive higher layer signaling indicating physical resource blocks in the PUCCH region and offsets in a cell- or UE-specific manner on a per-slot basis or, when in EC mode, per-set of N subframes basis. The UE may receive a resource allocation for a PUCCH in a PUCCH region separate from a legacy PUCCH region and reserved for non-legacy UEs. The UE may transmit a frequency hopping PUCCH in the PUCCH region and use shortened PUCCH format to accommodate an extended retuning time by puncturing a first and/or last symbol of at least one slot. If retuning, the UE may drop a sounding reference signal transmission in the next subframe.

    Abstract: Devices and methods of using xSS are generally disclosed. A UE receives an xPSS with (Nrep) symbols each with a subcarrier spacing of K×a PSS subcarrier spacing and a duration of a PSS symbol/K. PSD subcarriers surround the xPSS and the ZC sequence is punctured to avoid transmission on a DC subcarrier. Guard subcarriers separate the xPSS and PSD when the ZC sequence is less than the occupied BW of the xPSS and at least one element in the ZC sequence is punctured for xPSS symbol generation otherwise. One or more xSSSs and xS-SCHs may follow the xPSS. The xSS may be omnidirectional, each having a same xPSS and different xSSS or xS-SCH or a different xPSS and same xSSS or xS-SCH or beamformed, each having different xPSSs and xSSSs or xS-SCHs or a same xPSS and different xSSS or xS-SCH.

    Abstract: Downlink control information techniques for wireless communications with shorter TTI (S-TTI) length are disclosed. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode signaling indicating a duration of a time window, the time window comprising a plurality of S-TTIs forming a single TTI. Absence of a discontinuous reception (DRX) indicator is detected within control information received within a first S-TTI of the plurality of S-TTIs. Upon detecting the absence of the DRX indicator within received control information, a S-PDCCH within each of the plurality of S-TTIs is monitored during the duration. Scheduling information received via the S-PDCCH within one of the plurality of S-TTIs is decoded, and data is encoded for transmission on a shared data channel based on the scheduling information.
