Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes configuring a small cell with activation parameters. The activation parameters include a new carrier type having a reduced periodicity. The method also includes configuring a UE with time restricted measurements. The time restricted measurements correspond to the new carrier type and the reduced periodicity. The method further includes receiving small cell signal measurements from the UE and initiating an activation sequence in response to the small cell signal measurements.
Abstract:
Suppression of serving cell transmissions directed to second-served UEs may improve channel estimation of a serving cell or a neighbor cell. This may include using scheduling information for second-served UEs to suppress serving cell signals intended for second-served UEs having overlapping MIMO transmissions. Alternatively, this scheduling information may aid in suppressing a serving cell signal for a second-served UE to improve channel estimation of a neighbor cell. Various embodiments described herein, include implementations and techniques to aid channel estimation, and signal scheduling information to a first-served UE to aid in suppression of serving cell signals for second-served UEs.
Abstract:
For an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH), unlimited traffic-to-pilot ratio (TPR) variations across resource elements of a physical resource block (PRB) pair is problematic because of the detrimental affect the variations will have on the ability of a user equipment (UE) to perform inter-cell/intra-cell interference suppression (IS) and/or interference cancellation (IC) on EPDCCH of an interfering cell. A TPR limitation is placed on EPDCCH to facilitate IS/IC without causing practical limitations on EPDCCH management by an eNB. Accordingly, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus identifies a plurality of resource elements of at least one PRB pair for transmitting one or more control channels, divides the plurality of identified resource elements into one or more groups, and restricts a plurality of resource elements in a respective group to a TPR.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. In one configuration, the apparatus may be a UE. The UE determines an MCS that would facilitate interference suppression of an interfering first cell transmission from a first cell when decoding a second cell transmission from a second cell at the UE. The interfering first cell transmission is a transmission unintended for the UE. The second cell transmission is a transmission intended for the UE. The UE transmits information indicating the determined MCS for the first cell. The UE receives a transmission including the second cell transmission from the second cell and the interfering first cell transmission from the first cell. The UE demodulates and/or decodes the second cell transmission from the received transmission based on the determined MCS.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for enhanced physical broadcast channel (PBCH) for new carrier type (NCT) in long term evolution (LTE). According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications by a base station (BS) is provided. The method generally includes generating an enhanced physical broadcast channel (EPBCH) using a frequency division multiplexed (FDM) structure, wherein the EPBCH spans substantially a subframe duration and transmitting the EPBCH.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for decoupling uplink and downlink operations. According to certain aspects, a wireless node (e.g., a low power node) may receive, from a base station of a first cell, signaling indicating a random access channel (RACH) configuration for a wireless device. The wireless node may then detect the wireless node performing a RACH detection (based on the RACH configuration) and report the RACH detection and desired UL configuration to the base station of the first cell. The base station of the first cell may then select the wireless node for serving the wireless device for UL operations (e.g., based on the reported RACH detection-and similar reports from other wireless nodes detecting the same RACH procedure).
