An orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) frame tone allocation includes a 256 tone payload consisting of 228 data and pilot tones and 28 null tones. The 28 null tones consist of guard tones and at least one direct current (DC) tone. In one example, the 256 tone payload consists of 224 data tones, 4 common pilot tones, and 28 null tones. In another example, the 256 tone payload consists of 222 data tones, 6 common pilot tones, and 28 null tones. In yet another example, the 256 tone payload may consist of 220 data tones, 8 common pilot tones, and 28 null tones. The OFDMA frame may be a downlink OFDMA frame or an uplink OFDMA frame.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A base station and wireless device may communicate capability information associated with a wireless device. The capability information may include information indicating support for an Ethernet type packet data unit session or header parameter compression. An Ethernet type packet data unit session may be instantiated based on the capability information.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure are generally directed to a method for wireless communication. The method generally includes receiving a configuration of resources on a plurality of signaling entities for reception of a plurality of control messages, wherein each of the plurality of control messages schedules resources on a different signaling entity than one of the plurality of signaling entities on which the control message is to be received, and monitoring the configured resources on the plurality of signaling entities for the plurality of control messages.

A method for timing and frequency tracking and paging monitoring is described. The method can include performing a timing and frequency tracking based on a timing/frequency tracking reference signal (RS) at a user equipment (UE) in a beam formed wireless communication system, and performing a paging monitoring at a first paging occasion (PO) that is quasi-co-located (QCLed) with the first timing/frequency tracking RS. The first timing/frequency tracking RS is one of a sequence of timing/frequency tracking RSs each transmitted on a beam and is associated with a beam index. The first PO is within a PO window that includes a sequence of POs each transmitted on a beam. The first PO is associated with the same beam index as the first timing/frequency tracking RS.

A method performed by a wireless device for performing an uplink control channel transmission in a serving cell in a wireless communications network is provided. The wireless device is configured with a set of serving cell(s) in the wireless communications network. First, the wireless device determines a number of serving cells of the set of serving cell(s) that are relevant to consider when performing the uplink control channel transmission in the serving cell. Secondly, the wireless device selects an uplink control channel format from a set of uplink control channel formats for uplink control channel transmissions based on the determined number of serving cells. Then, the wireless device performs the uplink control channel transmission in the serving cell using the selected uplink control channel format. A wireless device for performing an uplink control channel transmission in a serving cell in a wireless communications network is also provided.

A transmitter and a method therein for transmitting discovery signals to a receiver. The transmitter and the receiver are comprised in a radio communications system. The transmitter transmits two or more discovery signals over two or more directions. Each discovery signal is configured to span over a fraction of a carrier bandwidth.

Different sets of downlink control information (DCI) fields may be configured for DCI that includes an indication to trigger bandwidth part switching at a user equipment (UE). For example, a UE may receive DCI that triggers the UE to switch operation from a first bandwidth part to a second bandwidth part. The UE may also identify a set of transformable DCI fields and a set of non-transformable DCI fields within the DCI. The UE may then determine updated content of the DCI for application to the second bandwidth part based on whether DCI fields are included in the set of transformable or the set of non-transformable fields. In some cases, the UE may identify a null assignment in the received DCI and may switch its operation from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part based on the null assignment.
