Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for interleaved control channel element to resource element group mapping within a portion of a control resource set. A method may include determining a first set of parameters having a first configuration for a first control resource set including a plurality of resource element groups. The method also includes determining an interleaver block size of each of a plurality of interleaver blocks. The plurality of interleaver blocks are formed by dividing the control resource set in time and numbering the interleaver blocks. The method further includes mapping the plurality of resource element groups to control channel elements, such that resource element groups of a first interleaver block, which are a subset of the plurality of resource element groups, are mapped to the control channel elements before mapping resource element groups of any subsequent interleaver block of the plurality of interleaver blocks to control channel elements.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for positioning support are provided. One method may include receiving, by a UE configured with power saving feature(s), positioning performance requirements for a positioning session. The method may also include estimating an impact of one or more power saving or reduced capability features on positioning measurements associated with the positioning session and, based on the accuracy and latency requirements and the estimated impact, determining the power saving or reduced capability features that the UE can implement while still achieving the accuracy and latency requirements for the positioning session. The method may then include signaling, to a network node, information on the determined power saving or reduced capability features that the UE can implement while still achieving the required accuracy and latency requirements for the positioning session.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from new slot formats to support dynamic allocation between SC and CP-OFDMA. In accordance with some embodiments, a method may include transmitting, by a network entity, at least one physical downlink slot containing at least one physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and at least one physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The at least one PDCCH is associated with at least one subcarrier waveform without a cyclic prefix (CP). The at least one PDSCH is associated with at least one CP-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or single carrier (SC) waveform.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of extended bandwidth allocation. In example embodiments, a first device receives, from a second device, an indication of a reference bandwidth. The first device receives, from the second device, an indication of a bandwidth extended from the reference bandwidth and receives, from the second device, an indication of at least one frequency offset of a first set of narrowbands with respect to a second set of narrowbands associated with the reference bandwidth. Then, the first device determines, based on the reference bandwidth, the extended bandwidth and the at least one frequency offset, the first set of narrowbands for communication with the second device.
