Abstract: A computer-readable storage medium stores instructions to configure one or more processors of a Further Reduced Capacity (F-RedCap) UE for operation in a 5G NR network, and to cause the F-RedCap UE to perform operations including decoding a PBCH to obtain a numerology parameter. A maximum resource block (RB) allocation is determined for a bandwidth associated with the numerology parameter. The maximum RB allocation is adjusted based on a reduced bandwidth associated with the F-RedCap UE to obtain an adjusted RB allocation. A maximum data rate is determined based on the numerology parameter and the adjusted RB allocation. Data is encoded for an uplink (UE) transmission to a base station. The UE transmission uses the maximum data rate.

Abstract: A UE configured for operating in a 5G NR network may decode signalling that schedules two physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) in a same time slot. When the UE is a reduced-bandwidth (RBW) reduced-capacity (RedCap) UE (RBW-RedCap UE), the UE may determine if a total number of allocated PRBs in an OFDM symbol for the two scheduled PDSCHs exceed a predetermined value when the two scheduled PDSCHs either partially or fully overlap in time in non-overlapping PRBs. The UE may also prioritize decoding of one of the two scheduled PDSCHs when the total number of allocated PRBs exceed the predetermined value and when the two scheduled PDSCHs either partially or fully overlap in time in non-overlapping PRBs. If a first of the two scheduled PDSCHs is a unicast PDSCH and a second of the two scheduled PDSCHs is a broadcast PDSCH, the UE may prioritize decoding of the unicast PDSCH.
