Abstract: Communication in a wireless network using a phase-tracking reference signal (PT-RS) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) includes determining one or more PT-RS groups of adjacent subcarriers in a resource allocation for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), encoding data to be transmitted by the PUSCH or the PDSCH in data subcarriers within the resource allocation for the PUSCH or the PDSCH, and encoding phase-tracking reference signals within the one or more PT-RS groups of adjacent subcarriers.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques for wireless communications are described. A described technique includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE) from one or more Transmission and Reception Points (TRPs), a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission; determining, by the UE for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) carrying hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK), a TRP index in accordance with a control resource set (CORESET) scheduling the PDSCH transmission; and transmitting, by the UE via the PUCCH, HARQ-ACK information based on the receiving of the PDSCH transmission in accordance with the TRP index.

Abstract: Methods and architectures for establishing an uplink control channel in a fifth generation (5G) or new radio (NR) wireless network includes transmitting scheduling requests (SRs) at sub-slot level/symbol-level periodicities and determining whether SR transmit opportunities will collide with downlink (DL) signals being received and halting an SR transmission if the timing of DL symbols overlap at an OFDM symbol with the SR transmission.

Abstract: A node switchover method is provided, including: A source database nod executes a first query command. Then, the source database node sends target data to a destination database node, where the target data is data for executing a second query command in an execution result of the first query command. Next, the destination database node executes the second query command by using the target data. In the method, some complex operations implemented for node switchover sink to a database node, so that a routing node at which middleware is located does not need to identify a query statement, record a transaction state in real time, or cache a large quantity of query commands that change operation context. This avoids consuming more processor and memory resources of the routing node, reduces costs and overheads of the routing node, and ensures service performance.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to resource mapping schemes. One embodiments is an apparatus including one or more processors coupled to a memory interface, and configure to encode a two part CSI that includes information bits of a first UCI type and information bits of a second UCI type. The First UCI type is a HARQ-ACK and the second the second UCI type is a SR. The encoded information bits of the first UCI type and the second UCI type are mapped onto a first physical resource. The first physical resource and a second physical resource are multiplexed in a TDM manner and the first physical resource precedes the second physical resource in a time domain. Information bits of the first and second UCI types are jointly encoded to respectively generate encoded HARQ-ACK bits and encoded SR bits. The two part CSI is output in a PUCCH.

Abstract: A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), or a new radio NB (gNB)) can process or generate a configuration of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring in different search spaces sets independently from one another in order to manage different services optimally. A processor of the network device can be configured to receive physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates of a PDCCH in a slot for channel estimation across search spaces of the slot. Different priorities can be determined among the PDCCH candidates in the slot based on a priority rule. Then a number of PDCCH candidates can be skipped/dropped from monitoring based on the different priorities of the PDCCH candidates to ensure that a threshold level of blind decoding operations across a plurality of slots of the PDCCH is being satisfied. The UE can monitor a portion of the PDCCH candidates while concurrently skipping another.
