Patent ID: 11716729

Abstract:
Described is an apparatus of a User Equipment (UE). The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to process a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) within a bandwidth at a start of a slot. The second circuitry may be operable to allocate a Guard Period (GP) within the bandwidth and subsequent to the PDCCH. The third circuitry may be operable to generate a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) within the bandwidth and in one or more Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols at the end of the slot. The third circuitry may also be operable to generate a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) within the bandwidth and in one or more OFDM symbols extending between the GP and the PUCCH, the PUSCH being time-division multiplexed with the PUCCH.
