摘要:
Systems, apparatus, user equipment (UE), evolved node B (eNB), computer readable media, and methods are described for uplink grants and hybrid automatic repeat requests (HARQ) in communications systems. Some embodiments operate to determine that an unlicensed first channel is idle based on a sensing of the first channel for a first period of time. Such an embodiment may then generate a reservation signal on the first channel and an uplink grant for a first user equipment (UE). After the uplink grant is communicated, the embodiment senses the first channel to detect a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission associated with the uplink grant. A HARQ acknowledgment or negative acknowledgement may be sent in various embodiments following the sensing.
摘要:
Devices and methods of reducing blind decoding attempts of user equipment (UE) suing carrier aggregation are generally described. The UE may determine at least one subframe in a modification period to monitor for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) formed in accordance with a Discontinuous Transmission Downlink Control Information (DTX DCI) format. The DTX DCI format may indicate whether the serving cell is in a DTX or non-DTX state. The UE may determine the DTX state of each serving cell from the DTX DCI format and monitor an enhanced PDCCH of each serving cell in the non-DTX state to provide a scheduling assignment for the UE, without monitoring each serving cell in the DTX state. The UE may receive higher layer signaling that indicates a repetition period and subframe offset for DTX DCI format transmissions or a bitmap of the DTX DCI format transmissions for subframes within each modification period.

Methods and apparatuses for communicating in a wireless network include a signal processor for combining a plurality of signals transmitted by respective eNBs by processing the signals as multipath instances of a single signal.
摘要:
Opportunistic networking systems can utilize one or multiple bands/channels that are shared with other radio access technologies (RATs) (such as wireless local area networks (WLAN, such as Wi-Fi) and mmWave). An unconventional carrier type (UCT) can be defined to support opportunistic networking in licensed and/or unlicensed spectrum. For example, a primary base station can determine a secondary base station activated for use with user equipment (UE). The primary base station can schedule data to be sent to the UE via the secondary base station. The secondary base station can provide discovery information, reserve a wireless channel, transmit the data and/or release the channel (implicitly, explicitly, or by reservation).
摘要:
A network device (e.g., an evolved NodeB (eNB), or other user equipment (UE)) can generate or process a shortened transmission time interval (S-TTI). Joint operations between an eNB and a UE can occur for a selection of a configuration of the S-TTI. The number of symbols can be dynamically modified and vary from among UEs based on UE-specific information and cell-specific information. The S-TTIs can be shorter than standard TTIs that enable data transmission or reception within a cell.
