摘要： The present disclosure provides for the trigger of a beam refinement reference signal (BRRS) message. Triggering a BRRS message can include determining that a measured quality of a transmit and receive (Tx-Rx) beam pair is below the first value of the first quality threshold, the Tx-Rx beam pair corresponding to a current transmit (Tx) beam from an evolved node B (eNodeB) and the current receive (Rx) beam at the user equipment (UE), encoding a message for the eNodeB based on the determination that the quality of the Tx-Rx beam pair is below the quality threshold, wherein the message comprises a request for one or more BRRS, and processing the one or more BRRS to select a different Rx beam at the UE than the current Rx beam.

摘要： Embodiments of enabling a secondary cell in a massive MIMO system are generally described herein. An example apparatus of UE may include memory and processing circuitry to configure a MIMO transceiver to establish primary cell transmit and receive channels for communication with an eNodeB, and to receive a secondary cell addition signal that includes a preamble index for a secondary cell. The processing circuitry further configures the MIMO transceiver to receive beam reference signals (BRS), and select one of the BRS from the eNodeB as a secondary cell transmit channel for the secondary cell based on detected BRS receive power. The processing circuitry further configures the MIMO transceiver to provide information for the selected BRS, and provide xPRACH transmissions that include a transmit index to the eNodeB. The processing circuitry further configures the MIMO transceiver to receive selection of one of the xPRACH transmissions as a secondary cell receive channel.

摘要： Systems and methods of beam reporting for multiple DL processes are described. A UE receives a beam management processes configuration that provides information about beam management reference signals for beam management procedures. The UE transmits a UE capability report that indicates beam management capabilities of the UE and, later, an indication of whether the UE intends to engage in beam refinement. The UE measures the beam management reference signals and receives a beam reporting message that indicates at least one of the beam management procedures to report. In response, the UE transmits the beam report. The beam report contains beam management reference signal measurements of the beam management procedures indicated by the beam reporting message.

摘要： Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods for reference signal design for initial acquisition, by receiving a first primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a first secondary synchronization signal (SSS) from a first transmit (Tx) beam, in first contiguous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of a downlink subframe. A UE can receive at least a second PSS and a second SSS from a second Tx beam in contiguous OFDM symbols of the downlink subframe. A UE can then detect beamforming reference signals (BRSs) corresponding to the first Tx beam and the second Tx beam, based on identification of physical cell ID information and timing information processed from the first PSS, the second PSS, the first SSS, and the second SSS. The UE can select the first Tx beam or the second Tx beam that was received with the highest power, based on the BRSs. Other embodiments are described.

摘要： An apparatus configured to be employed in a victim transmission reception point (TRP) associated with a new radio (NR) communication system is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a memory interface and a processing circuit. In some embodiments, the processing circuit is configured to process one or more predefined interference signals respectively received from one or more interfering TRPs during a guard period of the victim TRP. In some embodiments, the guard period comprises a time period between a downlink (DL) transmission and an uplink (UL) transmission associated with a time division duplex (TDD) frame of the victim TRP. In some embodiments, the processing circuit is further configured to determine an inter-TRP interference based on the one or more predefined interference signals. In some embodiments, the inter-TRP interference comprises a measurement of a UL interference at the victim TRP from the one or more interfering TRPs.

摘要： Provided herein are a method and an apparatus for interference measurement using a beam management reference signal (BM-RS). The disclosure provides an apparatus for a user equipment (UE), comprising circuitry configured to: decode one or more beam management reference signals broadcasted by a Transmission Reception Point (TRP) in a cell, wherein the one or more beam management reference signals are used by the TRP to perform beam management for respective one or more other UEs in the cell; and measure interference from the one or more other UEs in the cell based on the decoded one or more beam management reference signals. According to some embodiments, the overhead for the interference measurement can be reduced since it is not necessary to allocate a separate CSI-RS for the purpose of interference measurement.

摘要： An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) may include a memory and one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory device. The processors determine a reporting mode for the UE based on a message received at the UE from an eNodeB. The UE may generate a channel state information (CSI) reporting message based on the determined reporting mode. The processors may also encode extra-large physical uplink control channel (xPUCCH) data including the CSI reporting message.
