Abstract: An apparatus of user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coup led to a memory, where to configure the UE for radio link monitoring (RLM) in a New Radio-Unlicensed (NR-U) network, the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling from a base station. The RRC signaling includes configuration information to configure transmission occasions for a plurality of RLM reference signals (RLM-RSs). A primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) detection is performed to determine a number of RLM-RSs of the plurality of RLM-RSs that are successfully transmitted during the transmission occasions. Signal measurements are performed on the RLM-RSs that are successfully transmitted within an evaluation duration to determine a block error rate (BLER). The signal measurements are performed when the number is higher than a threshold number. An in-sync (IS) indicator or an out-of-sync (OOS) indicator are generated based on the signal measurements.

Abstract: Described is an apparatus of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) operable to communicate with a User Equipment (UE) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to initiate a Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) procedure on a bandwidth of the wireless network, the bandwidth being unlicensed spectrum. The second circuitry may be operable to generate a transmission if the LBT procedure indicates that the bandwidth is idle, the transmission comprising a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) preamble portion and a message portion.

Abstract: A secondary node (SN) in evolved universal mobile telecommunications system terrestrial radio access network new radio-dual connectivity (EN-DC) with a master node (MN) can directly provide measurement configuration and receive measurement reports from a UE and/or coordinate measurement configuration and reporting with the MN. For example, only one measurement object configuration is allowed for a frequency, but both MN and SN can provide measurement reporting configurations on the same measurement object. The UE can send measurement reports for the same measurement object to both MN and SN or the node that configured the reporting criteria configuration. In another embodiment, only one node provides the reporting configuration but configures the UE to provide reporting to one node or both MN and SN.

Abstract: An apparatus is configured to be employed within a base station. The apparatus comprises baseband circuitry which includes a radio frequency (RF) interface and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured determine repetition level (RL) thresholds, allocate downlink resources, wherein the downlink resources include a repetition level (RL), send downlink data to the RF interface for transmission to a user equipment (UE) according to the RL, receive repetition feedback from the RF interface based on the transmission to the UE, and update aspects or the allocation of the downlink resources based on the repetition feedback.

Abstract: A number of embodiments can describe the operation of a UE in an unlicensed spectrum. Operating a UE in an unlicensed spectrum can include processing a PDCCH transmission provided by an eNodeB to identify a resource for a transmission of the SR message and based on the resource identified in the PDCCH, generating a PUCCH transmission comprising the SR message for the eNodeB.

Abstract: Systems and methods of increasing paging opportunities when the unlicensed band is used are described. The gNB sends an RRC message that indicates multiple monitoring occasions in a paging occasion of a paging frame. The UE monitors a monitoring occasion of a PO to determine whether a PDCCH with a P-RNTI has been received in an unlicensed band. If such a PDCCH is received, the UE decodes PDSCH information in the PDCCH to determine whether the P-RNTI is a P-RNTI of the UE. If so, the UE avoids monitoring subsequent monitoring occasions of the PO. If the PDCCH does not contain a P-RNTI, the UE continues to monitor other monitoring occasions within the PO.

Abstract: An apparatus of user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to memory, where to configure the UE for communication of data in a New Radio-Unlicensed (NR-U) spectrum, the processing circuitry is to decode RRC signaling from a base station. The RRC signaling includes configuration information to configure a listen-before-talk (LBT) timer and a scheduling request (SR) prohibit timer. An LBT procedure is performed while the LBT timer is activated. An SR is encoded for transmission to the base station, based on detecting an unoccupied transmission resource within the NR-U spectrum during the LBT procedure. The SR transmission activates the SR prohibit timer. An uplink grant from the base station is decoded in response to the SR, the uplink grant received while the SR prohibit timer is activated. A buffer status report (BSR) is encoded for transmission to the base station based on the uplink grant.

Abstract: Embodiments of a next generation Node-B (gNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. A gNB may be configurable to operate as a master gNB (MgNB). The MgNB may transmit radio-resource control (RRC) signaling to provide information for dual connectivity to allow the UE to utilize radio resources of both a master cell group (MCG) associated with the MgNB and a secondary cell group (SCG) associated with a secondary gNB (SgNB). The MgNB may transmit, to the SgNB, an SgNB release request message that indicates a partial suspension of the dual connectivity, wherein: a first portion of a configuration for the SCG is to be maintained and a second portion of the configuration for the SCG is to be released.
