Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention provides a telecommunications method performed by a second telecommunications device. According to the embodiment, the second telecommunications device first tries to use a received part of a data block to decode the data block, wherein the received part is received from a first telecommunications device. Next, the second telecommunications device determines whether a code metric derived based on the received part indicates that the data block is decodable. If the code metric indicates that the data block is decodable, the second telecommunications device further determines whether a set of confirmation criteria is satisfied.

Abstract:
A method of providing a relaxed UE processing time for uplink transmission in NR is proposed. The UE processing time of uplink transmission is required for HARQ-ACK after the reception of downlink data over physical data shared channel (PDSCH). The UE processing time is also required for physical uplink share channel (PUSCH) transmission after the reception of an uplink grant. Under non-co-located carrier aggregation, the timing difference between the signals received at the UE in different cells could be up to 30.26 us, which increases the UE processing time for uplink transmission. In accordance with one novel aspect, the UE processing time requirement is relaxed according to the timing difference requirement for carrier aggregation, when CA is operated. In addition, the UE processing time requirement also depends on the applied subcarrier spacing (SCS) in NR systems.

Techniques and examples of flexible signaling of capability of use equipment (UE) processing time in wireless communications are described. Accordingly, a UE establishes wireless communication with a network node of a wireless network. The UE also determines whether the UE is capable of operating in a second mode in addition to a first mode. The UE then transmits to the network node a report indicating capability of the UE to operate in the second mode and a condition with respect to a throughput associated with operating in the second mode. The UE performs a task in less time in the second mode than in the first mode.
Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE attempts to detect a trigger event. The UE determines values of a first set of power configuration parameters when the trigger event is detected, wherein a change in a value of each power configuration parameter in the first set of power configuration parameters affects power consumption of the first UE. The UE transmits or receives signals in accordance with the values of the first set of power configuration parameters.

Abstract:
A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE determines a size of an uplink control information (UCI) payload of the UE to be transmitted to a base station. The UE selects, based on the size, a first collection from a first group of collections of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource sets, each collection of the first group of collections corresponding to a respective different UCI payload size range, each PUCCH resource set including one or more resource candidates. The UE selects a first PUCCH resource set from the first collection of PUCCH resource sets. The UE selects a first resource candidate from one or more resource candidates of the first PUCCH resource set based on a first indication received from the base station. The UE transmits the UCI payload to the base station in the first resource candidate.
Abstract:
Narrowband downlink control channel (NB-PDCCH) design for Narrowband Internet of Thing (IoT) devices is proposed. In one novel aspect, NB-PDCCH spans both first and second slots in the region of legacy physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). A plurality of physical resource blocks (PRBs) is allocated for NB-PDCCH transmission that carry downlink control information (DCI). Furthermore, each NB-IoT device can be configured with nPRB PRB pairs for NB-PDCCH transmission (e.g., nPRB=1, 2, 4, or 8), and an NB-PDCCH transmission time interval (TTI) is composed by nPRB subframes. An NB-PDCCH is encoded and occupies multiple narrowband control channel elements (NCCEs) based on aggregation level. In a preferred embodiment, each PRB pair for NB-PDCCH occupies two NCCEs.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are provided for RE allocation for UCI on PUSCH. In one novel aspect, the UE encodes UCI for transmission on PUSCH in a NR network. The UE allocates UCI REs onto the PUSCH following one or more UCI RE allocation rules including (a) using same logical allocation patterns for both CP-OFDM waveforms and DFT-S-OFDM waveforms, (b) distributing the UCI REs across a time domain of the PUSCH, and (c) distributing the UCI REs across a frequency domain for CP-OFDM or across a virtual-time domain for DFT-S-OFDM. In one embodiment, the HARQ-ACK REs are distributed across the time domain as much as possible. In another embodiment, the allocation of the HARQ-ACK REs further involves calculating the number of HARQ REs dynamically for the HARQ ACK. The number of HARQ REs is based on a weighting parameter, which is either configured or obtained through system information.
Abstract:
Various solutions for transmission resource allocation with respect to user equipment (UE) and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. A UE may receive control information from a network apparatus. The UE may turn on a radio frequency (RF) transceiver of the UE in a part of a transmission time interval (TTI) to receive downlink data in an event that the control information indicates that the downlink data is scheduled in the TTI. The downlink data is scheduled in a part of the TTI but not in any other time interval. The time duration of the TTI may comprise 14 orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols and the part of the TTI may be configured as a mini-slot with time duration less than 14 OFDM symbols.
