Interrupted transmission indication for new radio (nr)

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) operable for interrupted transmission indication, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• decode, at the UE, control information carried by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);
• identify, at the UE, an interrupted transmission (INT) indicator from the control information;
• and
• decode, at the UE, a set of one or more serving cell indices and a set of locations in downlink control information (DCI) from the INT indicator;
• and
• a memory interface configured to send the INT indicator to a memory.

An apparatus of a new radio (NR) node B (gNB) operable for interrupted transmission indication, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• determine, at the gNB for transmission to a user equipment (UE), an interrupted transmission (INT) indicator;
• insert, at the gNB for transmission to the UE, a set of one or more serving cell indices and a set of locations in downlink control information (DCI) in the INT indicator
• encode, at the gNB for transmission to the UE, the INT indicator in control information carried by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH;
• and
• a memory interface configured to retrieve the INT indicator from a memory.

At least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon for interrupted transmission indication, the instructions when executed by one or more processors at a user equipment (UE) perform the following:

• decoding, at the UE, control information carried by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);
• identifying, at the UE, an interrupted transmission (INT) indicator from the control information;
• and
• decoding, at the UE, a set of one or more serving cell indices and a set of locations in downlink control information (DCI) from the INT indicator.
