Mechanisms to handle DL (downlink) control and data channels with different numerologies in NR (new radio)

Abstract:

Techniques discussed herein can facilitate handling of DL (Downlink) control and data channels having different numerologies in NR (New Radio). One example embodiment comprises an apparatus employable by a UE (User Equipment) configured to generate a report comprising capability information associated with the UE, wherein the capability information indicates whether the UE supports multiplexing of multiple numerologies within a common symbol in a FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing)-based manner; process first higher layer signaling that configures one or more control resource sets of a NR (New Radio) PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), wherein the one or more control resource sets are associated with one or more numerologies in accordance with the UE capability information; and demodulate a NR PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) from a resource distinct from resources of the NR PDCCH.
