Downlink Control Information (DCI) may be expanded, or enhanced, to allow nodes such as UEs, eNBs, NR-nodes, gNBs, and TRPs in M2M, IoT, WoT networks to coordinate activities on PHY, MAC, and RRC layers. For example, DCI fields may be added or enhanced to include, for example, information regarding time resource allocation, frequency resource allocation, mini-slot allocation, and or Code Block Group (CBG) transmission. Such information, or similar information, may be used in operations such as mini-slot operations, Code Block Group (CBG) transmission, group common Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), grant-free and grant-less operations, response to Beam Failure Recovery Request (BFRR), UL Transmit (TX) beam change, Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) operations, aperiodic CSI-RS transmission and interference measurement, Band Width Part (BWP) operations, and Multi-Transmission and Reception Point (TRP)/Multi-Panel.

A User Equipment (UE), comprising a processor, communication circuitry, a memory, and computer-executable instructions stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, cause the UE to:
The UE of claim 1, wherein the instructions further cause the UE to detect the first control indication and the second control indication via a joint control resource set for a Downlink Control Information (DCI).
The UE of claim 2, wherein the DCI is transmitted on a physical downlink control channel from the first or second TRP.
The UE of claim 2, wherein one or more DCIs comprise a code block group (CBG) transmission or retransmission indication to a UE.
The UE of claim 2, wherein one or more DCIs comprise a CBG flush indication to a UE.
The UE of claim 2, wherein one or more DCIs comprise a Slot Format Indication (SFI) to more than one UEs.
The UE of claim 2, wherein one or more DCIs comprise s a pre-emption indication to more than one UEs.
The UE of claim 2, wherein one or more DCIs comprise a Band Width Part (BWP) to a UE.
The UE of claim 1, wherein the instructions further cause the UE to:
The UE of claim 4, wherein:
The UE of claim 4, wherein one or more DCIs comprise a code block group (CBG) transmission or retransmission indication to a UE.
The UE of claim 4, wherein one or more DCIs comprise a CBG flush indication to a UE.
The UE of claim 4, wherein one or more DCIs comprise a Slot Format Indication (SFI) to more than one UEs.
The UE of claim 4, wherein one or more DCIs comprise s a pre-emption indication to more than one UEs.
The UE of claim 4, wherein one or more DCIs comprise a Band Width Part (BWP) to a UE.
The UE of claim 4, wherein one or more DCIs comprise a triggering indication for an aperiodic Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) to a UE.
An apparatus, comprising a processor, communication circuitry, a memory, and computer-executable instructions stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
