Abstract: Various techniques are provided for determining, by a network device, a number indicating a quantity of user equipment (UE) that are in an idle state, determining, by the network device, whether the network device can operate in an energy-saving transmission mode based on the number indicating a quantity of UE that are in an idle state, in response to determining the network device can operate in the energy-saving transmission mode using, by the network device, energy-saving transmissions, and notifying, by the network device, at least one UE being served by the network device of the energy-saving transmissions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method and apparatus to perform initiating a downlink association set and a hybrid automatic repeat request feedback associated to receiving a first downlink data on a first downlink burst (710); receiving a second downlink data on a second downlink burst, associating the receiving second downlink data to the downlink association set and hybrid automatic repeat request feedback based on the first acknowledgement timing value (720); and determining transmission timing for hybrid automatic repeat request feedback based on a second acknowledgement timing value (730). Further, to perform sending first downlink control information associated to at least one first downlink data, wherein the first downlink control information comprises a first acknowledgment timing value for acknowledgment of the first downlink data; sending on a second downlink burst second downlink control information associated to second downlink data; and receiving hybrid automatic repeat request feedback based on a second acknowledgement timing value comprised in the second downlink control information.

Abstract: Various techniques are provided for method including determining, by a first node, a time domain timing structure that supports bi-directional communication, initiating a communication from the first node to a second node based on the timing structure, sending an indication from the first node to the second node, the indication being configured to cause a time gap in the timing structure and the indication indicates that the time gap is followed by communicating a number of symbols, during which the first node continues to transmit to any device other than the second node, generating the time gap in the timing structure, and continuing the timing structure by the first node.

Abstract: An apparatus and method facilitating communication using reduced bandwidth NR transmissions, where some part of the bandwidth defined by the CORESET is punctured and not available for the reduced bandwidth NR signals. The user equipment receiving these signals determines that puncturing is applied to some frequency domain resource elements within the bandwidth and identifies at least one valid candidate resource within the bandwidth. The at least one valid candidate resource comprises a candidate resource with less than at least one predetermined threshold amount of punctured resource elements. The user equipment then only monitors a subset of the plurality of candidate resources, the subset consisting of the at least one valid candidate resource and skips monitoring of the candidate resources that it deems to be invalid.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from the appropriate monitoring of communication channels. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from downlink control channel monitoring optimized for discontinuous reception mode and/or narrowband operation. A method can include selecting a search space configuration from a plurality of search space configurations for a user equipment. The method can also include operating the user equipment in the selected search space configuration.

Abstract: There is provided a method comprising: transmitting, by an apparatus, an indication of a plurality of resource elements for uplink transmissions of uplink control information and uplink data; and receiving, by the apparatus, uplink control information on a portion of said plurality of resource elements, the portion being defined by a mapping operation, wherein said mapping operation comprises: partitioning the plurality of resource elements to define a predetermined number of frequency domain resource element sets; and mapping the uplink control information to the plurality of resource elements in the predetermined number of frequency domain resource element sets to identify the portion of the plurality of resource elements.
