Abstract: An example method may include a processing system of a channel sounding receiver having a processor receiving from a base station, at a location, a channel sounding waveform via a plurality of carriers, sampling the channel sounding waveform via the plurality of carriers to generate a plurality of per-carrier time domain sample sets, and processing the plurality of per-carrier time domain sample sets via a plurality of discrete Fourier transform modules to provide a plurality of per-carrier frequency domain sample sets. The method may further include the processing system aligning the plurality of per-carrier frequency domain sample sets in gain and phase to provide a combined frequency domain sample set and measuring a channel property at the location based upon the combined frequency domain sample set.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter is directed towards scheduling and Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) operations by which nodes in a three party communication system can communicate. To schedule a data transmission from a transmitter node to receiver node(s), a local manager/scheduler node sends common downlink control information to the transmitter and receiver nodes. Via a scheduling request, the transmitting node can request the scheduling of the data transmission by the local manager node. The technology facilitates unicast and broadcast/multicast data transmissions; for a unicast data transmission, the scheduling request identifies the receiving node. The transmitting node can explicitly acknowledge reception of the downlink control information to the local manager node, or the local manager node can detect the data transmission, when it occurs, as an implicit acknowledgment that the common downlink control information was successfully received.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for power control system in a multi-hop integrated access and backhaul network. In a multi-hop integrated access and backhaul network a donor node can communicate with user equipment devices and relay nodes that have varying power levels, and to avoid receiving uplink transmissions with varying power levels which can impact automatic gain control systems and lower overall throughput, the power control system disclosed herein can manage the power levels of the relay node in order to reduce the difference in power levels. In one embodiment, the power control system can schedule relay node devices to transmit uplink transmissions alongside UE devices that have a high signal strength. In another embodiment, the power control system can schedule relay nodes and UE devices to separate symbols within a time slot. In another embodiment, the power control system can perform closed loop power control management at the relay node to reduce the power level for the uplink transmission.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards operating a user equipment node as a scheduler user equipment (e.g., which can be a local manager of other nodes in a group). The scheduler user equipment receives a scheduling request for the scheduling of the resources for transmission of data by a transmitter user equipment, and based on the traffic type requested, schedules the transmitter user equipment and receiver user equipment(s) with scheduling data/allocated radio resources. The transmitter user equipment can directly transmit to the receiver user equipment(s) on the allocated radio resources, e.g., without further involvement of the scheduler user equipment/local manager. For cellular data, the scheduler user equipment can schedule the transmitter user equipment to transmit to the scheduler user equipment as a receiver node.

Abstract: A two-stage enhanced downlink control channel (DCI) is provided. In one example, a method comprises performing processing to attempt to decode a second stage of DCI without blind decoding and based on resource allocation information (RAI), wherein the decoding the first stage of DCI comprises blind decoding and wherein the second stage of DCI and uplink control information is received after the first stage of DCI. The method also comprises based on successfully decoding the second stage of DCI, decoding a physical data shared channel (PDSCH). In various embodiments in which semi-persistent scheduling is provided, decoding information previously received in a prior transmission time interval can be employed in a current or subsequent TTI to conserve bandwidth and power.

Abstract: In a 5G network, new radios (NR) can be deployed as a standalone radio access technology or as a non-standalone radio access technology assisted by another radio access technology. Long-term evolution (LTE), which is widely deployed can provide seamless coverage and uninterrupted connectivity, however NRs can provide significantly increased data rates or new services. However, the deployment of NR can be limited to hotspots under the footprint of LTE. Therefore, dual connectivity between LTE and NR can be utilized for non-standalone NR because control plane functions can be sent over LTE while the data plane can be managed on NR, allowing for simplified NR deployments where device support for both LTE and NR is available.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining a self-interference channel response of a transceiver of a mobile base station having a transmitter and a receiver. The self-interference channel response spans multiple sub-bands of a predetermined mobile cellular frequency channel. A first sub-band of the multiple sub-bands is identified according to the self-interference channel response and, an estimate is determined, at the receiver, of a first coupled transmit power level of the transmitter when operating within the first sub-band. A receiver sensitivity is adjusted according to the first coupled transmit power level to obtain an adjustment adapted to increase receiver sensitivity, while restricting operation of the receiver to a substantially linear region. The adjustment allows a transmission within the first sub-band and a reception within a second sub-band of the plurality of sub-bands to occur simultaneously at the mobile base station. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: In a 5G network, control unit (CU) can be connected to a radio access network controller (RC). In response to receiving measurement data from the CU, the RC can process the measurement data to determine polices and procedures related to radio resource management, and/or radio resource control, which can then be utilized to manage mobility, dual-connectivity, carrier aggregation, and/or integrated access and backhaul topology formation and routing. The measurement data provided by the CU can be provided directly to the RC without processing of the measurement data by the CU.
