Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE comprises at least one processor configured to determine a first subcarrier spacing and a transceiver configured to transmit, to a base station (BS), random access signals generated with the first subcarrier spacing and receive a downlink control signaling comprising a physical (PHY) resource configuration that includes a second subcarrier spacing. The UE further comprises at least one processor configured to set the PHY resource configuration for at least one of uplink transmission or downlink reception.
Abstract:
A base station includes a controller configured to configure an MRS resource set comprising a group of MRS resources, each MRS resource comprising a set of MRS antenna ports. If at least two MRS antenna ports belong to a same MRS resource, then the at least two MRS antenna ports are quasi co-located with respect to a first set of QCL parameters, else if the at least two MRS antenna ports belong to a same MRS resource set, then the at least two MRS antenna ports are quasi co-located with respect to a second set of QCL parameters, and else the at least two MRS antenna ports are not quasi co-located with respect to either the first set or the second set of QCL parameters. The MRS is a CSI-RS for estimating a CSI and at least one of the first set and the second set of QCL parameters.
Abstract:
A method of user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method comprises receiving, from a base station (BS), a downlink signal including position information for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of a short physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), determining, based on the position information, a position of the OFDM symbols of the short PUCCH included in a slot, and transmitting, to the BS, the short PUCCH using the OFDM symbols based on the determined position.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes processing circuitry configured to detect a presence of a packet transmission via a channel, establish communication parameters and operational settings of an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) operation using a training field (TF) of the packet if the packet comprises the TF, and utilize a channel estimation (CE) portion of the packet to perform channel estimation of the channel. The processing circuitry is also configured to utilize the channel estimates to compensate for distortions introduced by the channel with respect to portions of the packet subsequent to the CE portion, obtain a modulation order and coding scheme used for the data portion of the packet, select an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to be used for a recovery of the data portion of the packet, and recover the information in the data portion of the packet using ADC output samples corresponding to the data portion of the packet.

Abstract:
A mobile station is configured to scan cells in a wireless network. The mobile station includes at least one antenna configured to transmit and receive wireless signals. The mobile station also includes a processor coupled to the at least one antenna, the processor configured to scan for one or more neighboring base station cells in a same frequency band as a serving base station cell using one or more receive beams. The one or more receive beams used for scanning are different than receive beams used for data communication with the serving base station cell.

Abstract:
To reduce the duration of a cyclic prefix used for a multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) communications channel, delay spread variations for different transmit/receive beam pair combination is estimated and used for fast beam switching and to support single user MIMO (SU-MIMO) even when the CP difference between two beams is large. Beam switching reference signals are employed to estimate delay spread exceeding current CP, and to support beam switching. CP covering sub-clusters within clusters for the MIMO channel are exploited to reduce the CP requirement and improve efficiency. Any one of a number of different CP durations may be selected for each different mobile station, using one of a finite set of subframe configurations for which the CP durations of different symbol locations within the subframe are predefined. Dynamically switching subframe configurations by the system accommodates high mobility.

Abstract:
A method for providing low-complexity hybrid precoding is provided. The method includes identifying a subset of a plurality of precoding sets as a reduced search space. A search is performed over the reduced search space for a preferred precoding set. Identifying the reduced search space may include determining at least one parameter, such as received power, for each of a plurality of beam directions.
