An apparatus and system to enable URLLC PUSCH repetitions in the unlicensed spectrum are described. The number of consecutive PUSCH repetitions indicated in the RRC parameter is reinterpreted as the number of transmission occasions over which the UE is able to attempt CCA. An orphan symbol is used to provide a DMRS transmission or cyclic prefix of the PUSCH transmission causing the orphan symbol. Whether a CG-UCI is piggybacked in a PUSCH transmission, and whether DCI-DFI is used, is dependent on whether cg-RetransmissionTimer is configured.

Repetition schemes for URLLC operating in unlicensed spectrum

Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to decode a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource received from a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) is disclosed. The UE can decode a downlink control channel signal received from the gNB in a first bandwidth part. The downlink control channel signal may include an index of a second bandwidth part, and an indication of a CSI-RS transmission in the second bandwidth part having the index. The UE can switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part. The UE can decode the CSI-RS transmission received from the gNB in the second bandwidth part.

Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to the support of a new class of Reduced Capability (RedCap) New Radio (NR) user equipments (UEs), focusing on the simplification of various multiple input multiple output (MIMO) related features and operations. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Support of simplified multiple input multiple output features for reduced capability user equipment in new radio systems

Various embodiments herein provide techniques for cancelation of one or more uplink (UL) transmissions from a user equipment (UE). The UE may receive an indication of a parameter d to use for determining a start of a reference UL resource (RUR). The parameter d may be UE-specific. The UE may further receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that includes a downlink control information (DCI) to indicate that a UL transmission is to be canceled in a RUR. The UE may determine a starting symbol of the RUR based on the parameter d. In embodiments, the UE may scale the parameter d based on a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) associated with the parameter d and a second SCS associated with the uplink transmission to obtain a scaled parameter d' that is used to determine the starting symbol of the RUR. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Techniques for cancelation of one or more uplink transmissions from a user equipment

A method for physical downlink control channel (PD-CCH) monitoring by user equipment (UE includes receiving a specification indicative of a monitoring pattern for a search space set including a plurality of slots. The monitoring pattern includes one or more monitoring spans within the search space set. Each of the one or more monitoring spans is associated with a set of parameters defining that particular monitoring span. The method includes selecting at least one monitoring span of the one or more monitoring spans. The method includes assigning the UE to monitor the at least one monitoring span. The method includes performing, by the UE, PDCCH monitoring during the selected at least one monitoring span.

Methods for enhanced PDCCH monitoring

In an example computer-implemented method, a user equipment (UE) receives first configuration data including an indication of a search space set for monitoring a wireless network for an uplink cancellation command, and second configuration including an indication to activate monitoring of the wireless network for an uplink cancellation command. The UE further receives a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including scheduling information for an uplink transmission. The UE monitors the wireless communications network for the uplink cancellation command in accordance with the search space set, and receives a second PDCCH from the wireless including the uplink cancellation command, where the uplink cancellation command includes an indication to cancel a first portion of the uplink transmission. The UE cancels a transmission of the first portion of the uplink transmission.

System and method of downlink control channel signaling for uplink coexistence of multiple service types

Methods and systems are provided for communicating in a wireless network based on a prioritization status. User equipment can receive a first signal that includes an indicator. The UE can determine a prioritization status for a second signal based on the prioritization indicator. The UE can communicate, with one or more radio access networks (RANs) of a network, the second signal, where the timeline of the second signal can be out of order respective of other signals communicated by the UE and the wireless network. The second signal can include data transmitted by an ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) service. The UE can communicate the second signal out of order with respect to one or more additional signals. The UE, based on the indicator, can communicate hybrid automated repeat request (HARQ) feedback before a HARQ feedback timeline of a non-urgent transmission.

Systems and methods for intra-UE multiplexing in new radio (NR)

Systems, devices, and techniques for controlling uplink transmissions including cancelling previously scheduled transmissions are described. A described technique includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a configuration information that provides a search space set configuration associated with a control resource set (CORESET) to monitor for an uplink cancellation indication; receiving, by the UE, scheduling information that schedules one or more uplink transmissions; monitoring, by the UE via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), for the uplink cancellation indication based on the configuration information; receiving, by the UE via the PDCCH, a downlink control information (DCI) message that comprises the uplink cancellation indication; and cancelling, by the UE, at least part of the one or more uplink transmissions in response to the uplink cancellation indication.

Downlink control channel signaling for UL coexistence of multiple service types

A method for uplink transmission by a UE includes obtaining information regarding a plurality of power control sets each having a plurality of power control parameters, wherein a value of at least one parameter in a first power control set is different from a value of the at least one parameter in a second power control set; obtaining information associating at least one of the power control sets with at least one operational property of the UE; and when at least one of the operational properties is in effect on the UE, transmitting a PUSCH using the parameters of the power control set associated with the at least one operational property in effect.

Channel access enhancements for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) in unlicensed spectrum

Systems for providing prioritization of UL transmissions in a UE are described. The prioritization information is used to resolve resource conflicts among UL transmissions that include conflicts between high priority UL transmissions, between an aperiodic-channel state information transmission and a scheduling request, and between a low priority UL transmission and a high priority UL transmission when timeline conditions for multiplexing in a single UL transmission are not met. The prioritization is based on timing and priority of the UL transmissions to determine which of the UL transmissions to transmit and which to cancel. Additional prioritization is based on reception by the UE of a cancelation index or in an additional overlapping high priority UL grant received in a DCI of a PDCCH that overlaps with at least one other PDCCH associated with the UL transmissions.

UL transmission multiplexing and prioritization

Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for a signaling mechanism for user equipment (UE) assistance feedback in a wireless communication system. At least a radio frequency integrated circuit can be configured to receive a first configuration signal, and transmit a first message comprising a UE assistance feedback, generated based on the first configuration signal, in an uplink (UL) channel. The first message can contain an index of a profile with information on a service requirement, a traffic characteristic, or a combination thereof of a network. A processor, coupled to the radio frequency integrated circuit, can be configured to generate the UE assistance feedback based on the first configuration signal.
