Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Next Generation Node-B (gNB), Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may detect one or more LTE synchronization signals from an eNB over an LTE Uu interface between the UE and the eNB. The LTE synchronization signals may be detected in resources allocated for LTE communication. The LTE synchronization signals may be detected in accordance with an LTE protocol. The UE may determine, based on the LTE synchronization signals, a reference timing and a reference frequency for NR vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication over an NR PC5 interface with another UE.

Abstract: Embodiments of a Generation Node-B (gNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The gNB may allocate a resource pool of physical resource blocks (PRBs) and sub-frames for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) sidelink transmissions. The gNB may receive, from a UE, an uplink control message that indicates that the UE requests a V2V sidelink transmission of a prioritized message. The gNB may select, for the V2V sidelink transmission of the prioritized message, one or more PRBs and one or more sub-frames. The gNB may transmit, to the UE and to other UEs, a downlink control message that indicates: the selected PRBs, the selected sub-frames, and that the other UEs are to mute sidelink transmissions in the selected PRBs in the selected sub-frames to enable the V2V sidelink transmission of the prioritized message.

Abstract: A method for allocating channel resources for transmitting data by user equipment (UE), includes receiving a resource allocation specification for a PSCCH transmission on PSSCH resources. The resource allocation specifies a PSCCH decoding unit of N symbols by M PRBs. The decoding unit is larger than a resource element group (REG) associated with the PSSCH resources. The method includes causing transmission, by a transceiver, of the PSCCH transmission in using the decoding unit specified by the resource allocation specification.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) or network device such as a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) node, or V2X device operates to configure sidelink signals with another vehicle or node with resources that can be used for ranging and sidelink communications within a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network or a New Radio (NR) network. The UE/device generate or process a broadcast communication of the sidelink signal via an adaptive antenna array or a directional antenna array and forming a directional radiation pattern from a beam sweeping operation based on geo-location information determined based on a sidelink signal. Depending on the geo-location information coordinates or the position of other vehicles or nodes can be derived to select or configure resources for a sidelink communication, including a Sidelink Ranging Reference Signal (SR-RS) and associated sidelink communication data.

Abstract: User equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry, where to configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications in an unlicensed spectrum, the processing circuitry is to decode a first configuration message received from a base station, the first configuration message including a channel quality indicator (CQI) table indication identifying a CQI table. A second configuration message is decoded, the second configuration message received separately from the first configuration message and including a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table indication identifying an MCS table. DCI received via a PDCCH is decoded, the DCI providing a DL grant and an MCS index in the MCS table. DL information received via a PDSCH is decoded using modulation order and target code rate corresponding to the MCS index in the MCS table.

Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The UE may be configured for carrier aggregation using a primary component carrier (CC) and a secondary CC. The UE may attempt to detect a sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS) from another UE on the primary CC. The UE may, if the SLSS from the other UE is detected: determine, based on the detected SLSS, a common time synchronization for the primary CC and the secondary CC for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) sidelink transmissions in accordance with the carrier aggregation. The UE may, if the SLSS from the other UE is not detected: transmit an SLSS to enable determination of the common time synchronization for the primary CC and the secondary CC by the other UE. The SLSS may be transmitted on the primary CC.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE), gNodeB or network component can be configured to support Quality of Service (QoS) aware sidelink communications for vehicle to everything (V2X) communication operations. The QoS aware sidelink communications can include operating QoS congestion control, QoS control and adaptation, QoS aware resource allocation, QoS aware in-device coexistence operations, as well as sensing and reservation based on sidelink resource allocations. Transmitter constraints can be provided according to a Quality of Service (QoS) aware congestion control that enables a fair usage of spectrum resources with one or more V2X devices, based on QoS attributes. Different V2X packets can be scheduled/filtered based on combinations of the QoS attributes. A priority of one radio access technology (RAT) over another can be made based on the QoS attributes associated with the different V2X packets being delivered in sidelink transmissions for a QoS aware in-device coexistence operation.

Abstract: A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component) can process or generate a dynamic Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetition indication that provides parameters about PUSCH repetition(s) for the uplink within one, two or other number of slots of a New Radio (NR) communication as an Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication. The network device can also process or generate one or more multiple Configuration-Grant (CG) PUSCH configurations. The presence of a repetition level bit-field in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) carrying UL grant or activating UL configured grant PUSCH can be controlled by semi-static UE-specific RRC signaling enabling or disabling the dynamic signaling of PUSCH repetitions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatuses, storage media, and systems for determining a capability of a UE to support a first downlink control information (DCI) format for Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) reception in a downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) and a second DCI format for scheduling uplink (UL) grants for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission in a UL bandwidth part (BWP), where the first DCI format is different from DCI formats 1_0 or 1_1, and the second DCI format is different from DCI formats 0_0 or 0_1. Furthermore, a base station may determine search spaces for monitoring physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates to obtain DCI formats indicated by the base station. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
