The example method further includes, in the same wireless device, receiving, in a first subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission formatted according to a first numerology and receiving, in a second subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology. Variants of this method, corresponding apparatuses, and corresponding network-side methods and apparatuses are also disclosed.

Network architecture, methods, and devices for a wireless communications network

According to certain embodiments, a method for use in a wireless device for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) on grant-free resources comprises reserving a subset of time/frequency resources of a grant-free uplink channel for transmitting UCI, and upon determining the wireless device has UCI to transmit on the grant-free uplink channel, transmitting the UCI to a network node in the reserved subset of time/frequency resources.

The network node includes processing circuitry configured to indicate, in downlink control information, DCI, a first modulation and coding scheme, MCS, associated with first transport block, TB, indicate, in the DCI, a second MCS associated with a second TB where the first MCS is indicated by a first MCS field size and the second MCS is indicated by a second MCS field size less than the first MCS field size, and communicate with the wireless device based on the first MCS and the second MCS.

Modulation and coding scheme (MCS) signalling for multi-carrier scheduling

Methods and apparatuses disclosed herein enable the use of Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) sequences that are numbered relative to an overall system bandwidth, while simultaneously enabling wireless communication devices to determine the DRMS sequence elements mapped to their scheduled bandwidths within the system bandwidth. Advantageously, the wireless communication devices need not know the system bandwidth, or even be aware of where their scheduled bandwidths reside within the system bandwidth.

Methods and apparatuses for signaling and determining reference signal offsets

The present disclosure described systems and methods for providing OTT services to a UE. An exemplary OTT-providing host computer includes a transceiver, a processor, and memory collective configured to provide the OTT service by initiating transmission of user data to the UE. To transmit the user data from the host computer to the wireless device, a network node sends a first control message for assigning a PDSCH, the first control message comprising a first MCS indication as described. The network node sends to the wireless device a second control message for assigning a PDSCH, the second control message comprising a second MCS indication as described. The network node transmits the user data thereafter.

Methods and systems for performance enhancement of downlink shared channels

Devices, systems, and methods described herein may improve aperiodic CSI-RS handling in mixed numerology environments. An exemplary method includes operations of receiving a downlink control information (DCI) message carried by a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) on a second carrier, wherein the second carrier uses a second OFDM numerology, obtaining an aperiodic CSI-RS slot offset from the DCI message, determining a reference slot in the first numerology, determining the slot of the aperiodic CSI-RS based on the reference slot and the aperiodic CSI-RS slot offset, and receiving or transmitting the aperiodic CSI-RS in the determined slot.

Triggering of Aperiodic channel state information reference signals with mixed numerology

There is disclosed a method of operating a transmitting radio node in a wireless communication network. The method includes transmitting data signaling utilising a plurality of transmission sources, wherein the data signaling represents a plurality of code blocks. Modulation symbols of a modulation symbol sequence are mapped to the plurality of transmission sources in c-tuples, the modulation symbol sequence representing the plurality of code blocks in which c is dependent on the modulation used for transmitting the signaling. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.

Data signaling for wireless communication networks

There are provided mechanisms for monitoring search spaces. A first method performed by a wireless device comprises receiving an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol in a downlink slot. At least part of the OFDM symbol is included in a device-specific search space and in a common search space. The first method comprises monitoring the device-specific search space for at least one device-specific reference signal (RS) and monitoring the common search space for at least one non-device-specific RS. In a second method, a radio access network node transmits an OFDM symbol included in a device-specific search space and in a common search space. The device-specific search space contains a device-specific RS, or the non-device specific search space contains a non-device-specific RS, or both of these apply.

Limited uplink bandwidth radio network devices are supported on wide bandwidth uplink carriers by configuring and controlling the use of multiple control regions within the uplink carrier bandwidth. In some embodiments, the total bandwidth of the uplink carrier is divided into a plurality of sub-band portions, wherein each sub-band portion includes at least one control region nominally dedicated to the transmission of uplink control signaling. Radio network devices are configured with a specified portion of the uplink carrier bandwidth for use for uplink transmission, which includes at least one control region. Radio network devices may be provisioned or provided with information regarding control regions reserved for control signaling by other radio network devices. The radio network devices may be dynamically configured to allow or suppress uplink data signaling in specified control regions, or portions thereof.

Scrambling of physical channels and reference signals in wireless communication networks

Systems and methods of HARQ codebook determination for multiple PUCCH are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method performed by a base station for constructing a semi-static HARQ codebook for each of multiple PUCCH resources in an uplink slot, each of the multiple PUCCH resources carrying HARQ feedback for PDSCH transmissions within a certain downlink time interval. The base station, based on a TDRA table, determines a sub-TDRA table for each downlink time interval comprising entries of the TDRA table with a TDRA ending in the downlink time interval. This includes pruning each sub-TDRA table to remove entries with overlapping TDRAs. The semi-static HARQ codebook is constructed for each pruned sub-TDRA table based on the remaining entries in the pruned sub-TDRA tables. The semi-static HARQ codebook is transmitted to the wireless device. In this way, it is possible to construct a semi-static HARQ codebook for multiple PUCCH transmission within a slot.
