Abstract:
Method, devices and systems of multi-subband based transmission are disclosed herein. A method for use in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) includes monitoring a plurality of subbands for subbands that include an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH), wherein each subband of the plurality of subbands is made up of a subset of frequency resources in a system bandwidth, and determining whether each of the plurality of subbands is a channel state information (CSI) downlink subband (CSI-subband) for CSI feedback based on whether an EPDCCH is included in a corresponding subband of the plurality of subbands. At least two subbands of the plurality of subbands, in which a corresponding EPDCCH is included, are determined as CSI subbands for CSI feedback.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described for controlling uplink (UL) transmission power. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a configuration of UL subframe sets and maintain a plurality of transmit power control (TPC) command accumulator values that correspond to respective ones of the UL subframe sets. The WTRU may receive a TPC command in a subframe n of a downlink (DL) transmission, determine a subframe n+k of a UL transmission that the received TPC command corresponds to, determine which of the UL subframe sets the UL transmission subframe n+k belongs to, and adjust a TPC command accumulator value that corresponds to the determined UL subframe set to determine power of the UL transmission when transmitting in the UL transmission subframe, where n is an integer, and k is an integer greater than zero.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for determining a vertical beam for reception are disclosed herein. A method in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) includes receiving a broadcast message from an evolved Node B (eNB) that includes information associated with a plurality of vertical beams, wherein the information includes at least one set of Physical Random Access Control Channel (PRACH) resources associated with each of the plurality of vertical beams, measuring reference signals transmitted on each of the plurality of vertical beams to select a reception vertical beam, transmitting a PRACH preamble in a set of resources associated with the selected reception vertical beam, and receiving communications from the eNB using the selected reception vertical beam.
