Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are disclosed herein. The UE may receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that schedules a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a slot, and on a component carrier (CC) of a plurality of CCs. The PDCCH may include a total downlink assignment index (DAI) and a counter DAI for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback of the PDSCH. The total DAI may indicate a total number of pairs of CCs and slots for the HARQ-ACK feedback. The UE may encode the HARQ-ACK feedback to include a bit that indicates whether the PDSCH is successfully decoded. A size of the HARQ-ACK feedback may be based on the total DAI, and a position of the bit may be based on the counter DAI.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to determine an estimated location of a user equipment (UE). For instance, a UE can provide a positioning request to a node while the UE is in a radio resource control idle (RRC_IDLE) or inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state. The positioning request can be implemented in a random access channel (RACH) message A (MsgA). The UE can then receive a positioning response from the node. The positioning response can be implemented in a RACH message B (MsgB).

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a 5th generation (5G) new radio (NR) system (5GS) (5G NR) in which a multi-transmission time interval (TTI) DCI schedules multiple physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs), generates a Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook for candidate PDSCH reception occasions corresponding to an uplink slot. The UE determines a set of downlink (DE) slots for the multiple scheduled PDSCHs and a set of a Start and Length Indicator Values (SLIVs) for the DE slots based on configured slot timing values (K1) and a configured time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured for multi-beam operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5G-NR) system may decode a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). When a DCI format for a configured grant (CG) based small data transmission (SDT) (CG-SDT) is detected and a transport block (TB) is received in a corresponding physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the UE may assume that a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) antenna port associated with PDCCH receptions and a DM-RS antenna port associated with PDSCH receptions are quasi co-located (QCL) with a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) associated with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource for the CG-SDT. During the CG-SDT, the UE may encode a PUCCH for transmission using a same spatial domain transmission filter as a last PUSCH transmission.

In particular, some embodiments may be directed to the prioritization of hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) transmissions. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
