Dci format with type-1 field for multi-cell scheduling

A computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by processing circuitry of a User Equipment (UE) configured for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5G NR) network, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:

• decode a downlink control information (DCI) format, the DCI format scheduling multiple physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs) in multiple cells with one PUSCH per cell, the multiple cells comprising a set of scheduled cells,
• the DCI format comprising at least an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) indicator field, and a channel-state information (CSI) request field,
• the DCI format further comprising a beta-offset indicator when the cells of the set are configured for a dynamic beta offset,
• wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
• apply the CSI request field and the UL-SCH indicator field to a cell of the set having a smallest service cell index;
• encode a CSI report for transmission in a PUSCH of the cell having the smallest service cell index in accordance with the CSI request field;
• encode an UL-SCH for transmission in the PUSCH of the cell having the smallest service cell index when indicated by the UL-SCH indicator field;
• and
• apply a beta offset value indicated by the beta-offset indicator to the transmissions in the PUSCH when the cells of the set are configured for the dynamic beta offset.

An apparatus of a gNodeB (gNB) configured for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5G NR) network, the apparatus comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and memory, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
• encode a downlink control information (DCI) format for transmission to a user equipment (UE), the DCI format scheduling multiple physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs) in multiple cells with one PUSCH per cell, the multiple cells comprising a set of scheduled cells,
• the DCI format comprising at least an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) indicator field, and a channel-state information (CSI) request field,
• the DCI format further comprising a beta-offset indicator when the cells of the set are configured for a dynamic beta offset,
• wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
• decode a CSI report received from the UE in a PUSCH of a cell having a smallest service cell index in accordance with the CSI request field;
• and
• decode an UL-SCH received from the UE in the PUSCH of the cell having the smallest service cell index when indicated by the UL-SCH indicator field,
• wherein a beta offset value indicated by the beta-offset indicator is applied by the UE to transmissions in the PUSCH when the cells of the set are configured for the dynamic beta offset.
