Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a user equipment from a network entity, a first downlink (DL) control signal activating semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) of a first set of downlink data transmissions, the downlink control signal indicating an applicable hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing for the first set of downlink data transmissions and receiving one or more of the first set of downlink data transmissions. The user equipment may determine that an applicable HARQ feedback timing for a second set of downlink data transmission previously received with an inapplicable HARQ feedback timing has not been provided. In response to the determination, the user equipment may determine a HARQ feedback timing for the one or more of the first set of downlink data transmissions based a second DL control signal indicating an applicable HARQ feedback timing received after reception of the one or more of the first set of downlink data transmissions.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from efficient communications. For example, low latency long term evolution (LTE) systems may benefit from a short physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) arrangement. A method may include operating a user equipment to follow a shortened transmission time interval. The shortened transmission time interval can be an integer number, L, of symbols in length. The method can also include sending a demodulation reference signal in at least a first symbol of the L symbols of the shortened transmission time interval.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a signaling arrangement for a wireless system are provided. One method includes transmitting a short control signaling (SCS) message to one or more user equipment (UE). The SCS message may comprise at least a reference signal part and an optional control signal part. The reference signal part may comprise reference signals that allow the UE to perform at least one of: cell search, synchronization, fine time/frequency tracking, radio resource management (RRM) measurements, radio link monitoring, or channel state information (CSI) reporting. In an embodiment, the control signal part may indicate at least one of: whether the cell is ON or OFF, whether each subframe in a current or upcoming set of subframes are ON or OFF, TDD uplink-downlink configuration for a current or upcoming radio frame, PLMN ID to identify to which operator's network the cell belongs to, and/or system information.

Abstract: A technique may include determining, by a base station in a wireless network, that the base station was unable to transmit a synchronization signal block for a beam via a beam-specific synchronization signal block position that is associated with the beam; transmitting, by the base station in response to the determining, a synchronization signal block for the beam via a non-beam-specific synchronization signal block position; and transmitting, by the base station, control information indicating the transmitting of the synchronization signal block via the non-beam-specific synchronization signal block position.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product where a UE receives a RACH configuration, comprising time/frequency resources for each RACH Preamble and a corresponding Msg1 Data Part. The UE selects the RACH preamble, transmits the selected RACH preamble, and ascertains whether the selected RACH preamble is associated with a 2-step RA procedure. The UE determines at least one resource for Msg1 Data Part based on the selected RACH preamble. The UE performs a LBT preceding the Msg1 Data Part at a predetermined point in time and transmits the Msg1 Data Part provided that the channel is unoccupied based on the LBT. Likewise, a gNB sending a RACH configuration to the UE, receiving a RACH preamble back, ascertaining that RACH preamble is associated with a 2-step RACH procedure, and determining at least one resource for Msg1 Data Part based on the received RACH preamble.
