Abstract

Various embodiments herein are directed to enhanced frequency hopping for data transmissions, such as transmissions above a 52.6 GHz carrier frequency. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed. In some embodiments, a gNB may encode configuration information for operation above 52.6 GHz that includes a number of transport blocks (TBs) for frequency hopping for a data transmission associated with a user equipment (UE). The configuration information may indicate that frequency hopping for the data transmission is to be performed within the TB group based on a number of symbols for a hopping boundary. The configuration information may also indicate a first part of a TB is to be transmitted in a first hop and a second part of the TB is to be transmitted in a second hop based on the number of symbols for the hopping boundary.

Dependent claims

An apparatus comprising:

memory to store configuration information for operation above 52.6 GHz that includes a number of transport blocks (TBs) for frequency hopping for a data transmission associated with a user equipment (UE);
and
processing circuitry, coupled with the memory, to:
retrieve the configuration information from the memory, wherein the configuration information includes an indication of a TB group containing the TBs, wherein the configuration information is to indicate that the frequency hopping for the data transmission is to be performed within the TB group based on a number of symbols for a hopping boundary, and wherein the configuration information is to indicate a first part of a TB is to be transmitted in a first hop and a second part of the TB is to be transmitted in a second hop based on the number of symbols for the hopping boundary;
and
encode a message for transmission to the UE that includes the configuration information;
and
receive a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) from the UE, the PUSCH comprises a transmission of the first part of the TB at a first frequency resource for the first hop and a transmission of the second part of the TB at a second frequency resource for the second hop.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a user equipment (UE) to:

receive a message from a next-generation NodeB (gNB) comprising configuration information for operation above 52.6 GHz that includes a number of transport blocks (TBs) for frequency hopping for a data transmission associated with the UE,
wherein the configuration information includes an indication of a TB group containing the TBs,
wherein the configuration information is to indicate that the frequency hopping for the data transmission is to be performed within the TB group based on a number of symbols for a hopping boundary, and
wherein the configuration information further indicates that a first part of a TB is to be transmitted in a first hop and a second part of the TB is to be transmitted in a second hop based on the number of symbols for the hopping boundary;
and
transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to the gNB,
wherein the PUSCH comprises a transmission of the first part of the TB at a first frequency resource for the first hop and a transmission of the second part of the TB at a second frequency resource for the second hop.
