1. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:

  • processing circuitry, wherein to configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications and to determine physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) assignment, the processing circuitry is to;

    decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling including configuration information identifying a PDCCH search space set, the configuration information including a PDCCH monitoring periodicity, a PDCCH monitoring offset, and a PDCCH monitoring duration associated with the identified PDCCH search space set;

    monitor slots of the PDCCH search space set for PDCCH candidates using the PDCCH monitoring periodicity, the PDCCH monitoring offset, and the PDCCH monitoring duration;

    upon detecting the PDCCH candidates within the PDCCH search space set, decode uplink (UL) resource information within downlink control information (DCI) of the PDCCH candidates; and

    encode data for transmission on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the UL resource information; and

    memory coupled to the processing circuitry, the memory configured to store the configuration information.
