1. An apparatus of a New Radio (NR) NodeB (gNB), the apparatus comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
encode radio resource control (RRC) signaling to configure a user equipment (UE) for monitoring a region of time-frequency resources within a bandwidth part (BWP) for a preemption indication (PI) via a group-common downlink control information (DCI), wherein the PI via group-common DCI (PI-DCI) is transmitted in a control resource set (COREST);
encode, for transmission to a group of UEs including the UE, the PI-DCI to indicate frequency domain resources that omit transmissions intended for the UE, wherein the transmission of one or more synchronization signal (SS) blocks in the frequency domain resources are not preempted; and
configure transceiver circuitry to transmit the PI-DCI in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the CORESET to the group of UEs.
