    Abstract: In order to maintain flexible system bandwidth and a flexible center frequency, without requiring a cyclic prefix or guard interval, a transmitter apparatus transmits a reference signal based on a single carrier waveform having a mixed symbol structure, in reference signal symbols using at least one of a cyclic prefix and a guard interval and transmits data based on the single carrier waveform without the cyclic prefix or the guard interval. The data may be based on input data processed using overlapping FFT windows, and an amount of overlap between the FFT windows may be configurable by the transmitter or the receiver. An apparatus receiving the downlink transmission comprising data based on a single carrier waveform may process the data based on overlapping FFT windows.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for sounding reference signal (SRS) coordination, power control, and synchronization for distributed coordinated multipoint (CoMP) using communications systems operating according to new radio (NR) technologies. For example, a method for wireless communications by a network entity includes determining a first amount of transmission (Tx) power for transmission of signals originating from a first cluster center that is connected to the network entity, determining a second amount of Tx power for transmission of signals originating from at least a second cluster center that is connected to the network entity, and transmitting signals for one or more user equipment (UEs) served by the first cluster center and one or more UEs served by the second cluster center based on the first amount of Tx power and the second amount of Tx power.

    Abstract: A base station may maintain multiple beam pair links, with one being actively used for communication. The active beam pair may become blocked. Accordingly, it may be necessary to switch to another beam pair. The apparatus may be an apparatus for wireless communication. The apparatus for wireless communication may include a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The at least one processor is configured to determine a set of active beam pairs including at least a first beam pair and a second beam pair and select the first beam pair. The at least one processor is also configured to predict that the first beam pair is blocked, the prediction based on an expiration of a timer and sweep through the set of active beam pairs based on predicting that the first beam pair is blocked.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to communication systems, and more particularly, to control resource sets (coresets) for transmitting physical downlink control channels using either a single-carrier waveform or a multicarrier waveform in communications systems operating according to new radio (NR) technologies. In an exemplary method, a base station may determine whether a control resource set (coreset), of time and frequency resources within a control region of system bandwidth and configured for a user equipment (UE), conveys a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) via a single-carrier waveform or a multicarrier waveform, and transmit the PDCCH to the UE using the determined waveform.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhancing channel estimation by using a binary tree based PDCCH search space in a new radio wireless communication system is disclosed. For example, a UE may identify an aggregation level profile having an aggregation level value for one or more aggregation levels, wherein each aggregation level corresponds to a respective number of resources to use for decoding a PDCCH, determine one or more decoding candidates for the UE from among a plurality of available decoding candidates defined as nodes in a binary tree for a search space based on the aggregation level profile, determine respective CCEs corresponding to each of the one or more decoding candidates, each respective CCE including one or more REGs, and performing channel estimation for each of the respective CCEs for use in demodulating and decoding downlink control information for the UE in the PDCCH.

    Abstract: Various aspects described herein relate to reducing transmission latency in unlicensed spectrum. These latency reduction techniques include enabling ultra low latency (ULL) traffic to gain fast channel access. These latency reduction techniques further include updating a size of a contention window for channel access. In addition, these latency reduction techniques include enhancing CPDCCH-based signaling to accommodate the ULL frame structure. Further, these latency reduction techniques include providing robust operation against bursty interference for ULL transmissions. Moreover, these techniques include managing DRX for ULL. Additionally, these latency reduction techniques include joint scheduling of different TTI durations. These latency reduction techniques further include updating SRS transmission opportunities. In addition, these latency reduction techniques include reducing latency associated with PRACH transmissions. Further, these latency reduction techniques include reducing ULL transmission delays by either ignoring or cancelling scheduled uplink (e.g., LTE) transmissions.
