Abstract: Among other things, some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to coverage enhancement techniques for the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). Specifically, the PUCCH may be transmitted from two or more antenna ports of a user equipment (UE) based on configuration information received from a base station. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide techniques for transmission of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a wireless cellular network. For example, transmission schemes are provided for sequence-based transmission of a PUCCH and/or to improve PUCCH coverage. User equipment (UE) may: determine uplink control information (DCI) payload information for the PUCCH with a PUCCH format 1; determine a sequence for transmission of the PUCCH based on the UCI payload information; and map the determined sequence to allocated resources for the PUCCH format 1 for transmission.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs, for activating cross-slot scheduling in user equipment (UE) to achieve power savings. In one aspect, the method can include actions of generating, by an access node, an RRC communication including one or more parameters that, when processed by the UE, configures the UE to forego use of computing resources to buffer for potential PDSCH transmission for a predetermined amount of time, encoding, by the access node, the RRC communication for transmission to the UE, and causing, by the access node, one or more antennae to transmit the encoded RRC communication to the UE.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, systems, and devices for broadcasting a Physical Downlink Control Channel-based (PDCCH-based) wake-up signal. In one example, a method involves receiving, by one or more user equipment (UEs), a configuration for monitoring a wake up signal (WUS). The method further includes monitoring, by the one or more UEs and based on the configuration, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for downlink control information (DCI) associated with the WUS. The method also includes receiving, by the one or more UEs, the WUS in response to detecting the DCI.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for resource monitoring and power saving in a user equipment (UE) operating according to a discontinuous reception (DRX) in new radio (NR) wireless communication system. The UE, operating in the DRX mode, monitors for a wake up occasion in control signal prior to the DRX ON time. If the wake occasion is detected, then the EFE monitors for a channel state information (CSI) resource signal (RS) prior to the DRX ON time. If no wake up occasion is detected, then at least a portion of the UE remains in a sleep mode prior to DRX ON time.

Abstract: User equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for channel state information (CSI) reporting in a 5G network, the processing circuitry is to decode a radio resource control (RRC) configuration message, the RRC configuration message including first configuration information to configure determination of channel quality information (CQI), a rank indicator (RI), and a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) for the CSI reporting. Second configuration information is decoded to configure codebook parameters for a high spatial resolution codebook associated with the PMI. A precoding matrix is determined based on the first configuration information, where a number of coefficients in at least one coefficient vector of the precoding matrix is configured using the second configuration information. CSI is encoded for transmission to a base station, the CSI including the RI and the PMI associated with the determined precoding matrix.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein provide techniques for improving coverage for a physical random access channel (PRACH). Additionally, embodiments provide techniques for repetition of a channel state information (CSI) report on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for coverage enhancement. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured for physical uplink control channel (PUSCH) repetition in an fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) network decodes a downlink control information (DCI) format that includes a scheduling grant for a PUSCH transmission. For a codebook-based PUSCH transmission, the DCI format indicates at least a first and a second transmit precoder matrix indicator (TPMI) index for PUSCH repetition. The UE may apply a precoder matrix determined from the first TPMI index to encode a PUSCH for a first PUSCH transmission occasion of the PUSCH repetition and may apply a precoder matrix determined from the second TPMI index to encode the PUSCH for a second PUSCH transmission occasion. For a non-codebook-based PUSCH transmission, the DCI format indicates at least a first and a second sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator (SRI) for PUSCH repetition.
