Abstract:
An aspect of the invention is related to an apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including a computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: determine a cell for guard period adaptation; define, for the guard period adaptation, at least two guard period portions of the cell with different guard period lengths within a frame the defining being based on at least one of the following: location of at least one network node in the cell and a propagation delay with respect to the at least one network node, and inform the at least one network node on at least one of the at least two guard period portions of the cell for transmission and/or reception.
Abstract:
There is provided a method comprising providing, in dependence on a first subcarrier spacing of a first subframe structure, a second subcarrier spacing of a second subframe structure, wherein the first subframe structure has a first subframe length and at least one first cyclic prefix length and providing a second subframe length of the second subframe structure, the second subframe length comprising m symbols, wherein each symbol contains a second cyclic prefix, the second cyclic prefix length modified by a length variant.
Abstract:
A technique, including: controlling a radio transceiver to make and receive transmissions according to a radio frame structure that includes consecutive time frames of a predefined duration, wherein each time frame includes a plurality of consecutive sub-frames of a predefined duration, and each sub-frame includes a plurality of sets of time resources, and wherein the plurality of sets of time resources of a sub-frame includes: a first set useable for transmissions in a first direction; a second set useable for transmissions in a second, opposite direction; and a third set that is switchable between transmissions in the first direction and transmissions in the second direction, independently of the first and second sets of time resources in the same sub-frame and independently of other sub-frames in the same radio frame.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for signal block mapping are provided. One method includes configuring, by a network node (e.g., base station or eNB), a group of discovery signaling blocks. The method may then include mapping the discovery signaling blocks of the group onto a subframe structure, including the group information into each of the discovery signaling blocks, and transmitting the discovery signaling blocks in the subframe structure.
