Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive, from a gNB, a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) that indicates a number of narrowband internet-of-things (NB-IoT) downlink subframes for a downlink scheduling delay of a narrowband physical downlink shared channel (NPDSCH) in one or more radio frames configured for time-division duplexing (TDD) operation. Subframes of the one or more radio frames may include uplink subframes, NB-IoT downlink subframes for downlink NB-IoT transmissions, and downlink subframes for other downlink transmissions. The UE may determine the downlink scheduling delay based on an earliest subframe for which a count of NB-IoT downlink subframes is equal to the number of NB-IoT downlink subframes indicated in the NPDCCH.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are timing determination techniques for 5G radio access network (RAN) cells. According to various such techniques, during a random access procedure, a user equipment (UE) may receive a grant of resources for an uplink (UL) data transmission in a random access response (RAR) message. The UE may identify a scheduled slot for the UL data transmission based on a received slot of the RAR message and an applicable slot offset value. The applicable slot offset value may indicate a number of slots by which the received slot precedes the scheduled slot. The applicable slot offset value may be identified using the various techniques described herein.

Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) that includes an uplink scheduling parameter. The UE may determine an uplink scheduling delay for transmission of a narrowband physical uplink shared channel (NPUSCH) in accordance with time-division duplexing (TDD). The uplink scheduling delay may be based on a sum of a predetermined first number of subframes and a variable second number of subframes. The second number of subframes may be based on a window of variable size that starts when the first number of subframes has elapsed since reception of the NPDCCH, and ends when a number of uplink subframes has elapsed since the start of the window. The number of uplink subframes may be indicated by the uplink scheduling parameter.

Abstract: A method for enhanced physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitions includes receiving at least one of a dynamic grant or a configured grant for an uplink transmission, determining a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) for repeated transmission of the uplink transmission on a PUSCH, and repeatedly transmitting the uplink transmission based on the TDRA.

Abstract: Certain embodiments are directed to a system and method of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission termination. The system and method can include at least: receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a PUSCH transmission overlapped with repetitions of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for the UE; and terminating, by the UE, the PUSCH transmission upon detection of the DCI after a fixed number of symbols, wherein the fixed number of symbols is counted from a symbol after the last symbol of a control resource set (CORESET).

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods of selecting physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates for non-coherent joint transmission (NC-JT) in a wireless network. For instance, first and second sets of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters can be configured for a UE. The first and second sets of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters are configured on a first downlink (DL) component carrier to enable NC-JT. A control channel element (CCE) limit can be determined for the first and second sets of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters. One or more PDCCH candidates can then be selected for the first and second sets of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters based at least in part on the determined CCE limits. NC-JT communication including at least a first communication from a first transmission and reception point (TRP), and a second communication from a second TRP can then be received.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for use in a wireless network for dynamic indication of soft resource availability. Some embodiments are directed to an apparatus in an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node. The apparatus includes processor circuitry and radio front circuitry. The radio front end circuitry can be configured to receive, from a second IAB node, a slot format indicator (SFI). The SFI can include a slot format entry including a soft symbol indicating availability of a soft resource. The processor circuitry can be configured to use the slot format entry to communicate with a third IAB node, different from the second IAB node, using the soft resource as indicated by the soft symbol.
