Abstract: Technology for user equipment (UE) operable to decode beam indication related information received from a New Radio (NR) base station in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is disclosed. The UE can decode a transmission configuration indication (TCI) received in a downlink control information (DCI) from the NR base station on a scheduling physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a scheduled bandwidth part (BWP) or a scheduled component carrier (CC). The UE can decode a scheduling offset received from the NR base station, wherein the scheduling offset is an offset time for reception of beam indication related information in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The UE can decode the beam indication related information received from the NR base station in the PDSCH on the scheduled BWP or the scheduled CC at a time period greater than or equal to the scheduling offset relative to the PDCCH transmission.

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.

Abstract: A network device such as an evolved NodeB (eNB) or next generation NodeB (gNB) can configure a set of user equipment (UE) for cell reference signal (CRS) muting in order to provide better channel quality and power efficiency in communications. Where an eNB mutes CRS transmissions that are not needed by any UE, an improvement in downlink throughput and reduce connection drop rate can be generated. A CRS muting capability can be determined based on a user equipment (UE) capability information. According to the CRS muting capability of a UE, CRS muting can be generated in a physical channel outside of a narrow band (NB) or a wide band (WB) plus/minus X physical resource blocks (PRBs), wherein X is a non-negative integer, based on the CRS muting capability.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for transmission of a shortened physical uplink control channel (sPUCCH) is disclosed. The UE can map symbols to physical resource blocks (PRBs) for a first subslot and a last subslot of a subframe for the sPUCCH. The UE can encode control information for transmission to a next generation node B (gNB) in selected PRBs.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses can provide or obtain scheduling information for a system information block type1-bandwidth reduced (SIB1-BR) without obtaining a master information block during handover. A user equipment (UE) can identify SIB1-BR scheduling information in a radio resource control connection (RRC) reconfiguration message. The UE can determine scheduling of an SIB1-BR for a target cell based on the RRC reconfiguration message, and process the SIB1-BR received from the target cell during the determined scheduling.

Abstract: Techniques for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback by narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) devices are provided. NB-IoT user equipment (UE) can transmit HARQ feedback in response to a narrowband physical downlink shared channel (NPDSCH) received over a downlink (DL). NB-IoT UEs can transmit the responsive HARQ feedback over a narrowband physical uplink shared channel (NPUSCH) or a narrowband physical uplink control channel (NPUCCH). Options for defining the physical structures of the NPUCCH and NPUSCH and user multiplexing on the uplink (UL) are provided. Determination of an UL resource allocation by determining resources in time, frequency, and the code domain for the HARQ feedback transmissions are also provided. Higher level signaling and/or indications provided in downlink control information (DCI) can be used to determine the time, frequency, or code domain resources.
