Abstract:
Embodiments described herein relate generally to a communication between a user equipment (“UE”) and an evolved Node B (“eNB”). A UE may be adapted to signal to an eNB a request to adjust a downlink transmission power level. Based on the request, the eNB may adjust its downlink transmission power level. In another embodiment, an eNB may be adapted to adjust its downlink transmission power level according to a pseudorandom sequence. This pseudorandom sequence may be generated from a seed, which the eNB may signal to a UE. Based on power adjustments and/or randomizations, a UE may perform interference cancellation. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards devices and methods for discovering and waking up dormant access nodes in cellular networks. In one embodiment, the user equipment may be configured with information to assist in determining a discovery zone of discovery signals transmitted by cells in a network. In some embodiments, the information may include a duration of a discovery zone.
Abstract:
Described is a UE to communicate with an eNB on a network, the UE comprising: an antenna to receive messaging from eNB indicating switching to 256-QAM scheme from an existing non-256-QAM scheme; and a table component for storing soft channel bits based on Nsoft such that the number and value of the soft channel bits for using the 256-QAM scheme is substantially equal to the number and value of the soft channel bits when the UE is not using the 256-QAM scheme. Described is an eNB comprising: an antenna to transmit messaging to a UE indicating switching to 256-QAM scheme from an existing non-256-QAM scheme; and an encoder to encode data using memory usage size based on Nsoft such that the number and value of the Nsoft for using the 256-QAM scheme is substantially equal to the number and value of the Nsoft when the eNB is not using the 256-QAM scheme.
Abstract:
Embodiments can relate to an apparatus for interference mitigation in a wireless communication. The apparatus can comprise at least one processing element arranged to extract, from a received PDCCH or EPDCCH signal, modulated symbols; the modulated symbols having been modulated using a linear m-ary modulation constellation. The apparatus also comprises a demodulator to demodulate the extracted PDCCH or EPDCCH modulated symbols; the demodulator being operable to demodulate the extracted symbols according to the linear m-ary modulation constellation.
Abstract:
Embodiments of methods and apparatus for determining and/or quantizing a beamforming matrix are disclosed. In some embodiments, the determining and/or quantizing of the beamforming matrix may include the use of a base codebook and a differential codebook. Additional variants and embodiments are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Provided herein are apparatus and method for user equipment (UE) panel selection. The disclosure provides an apparatus for a UE, comprising: a radio frequency (RF) interface to receive one or more reference signal resources from a next generation NodeB (gNB); and processor circuitry coupled with the RF interface, the processor circuitry to: determine a beam quality for each of the one or more reference signal resources received at each panel of the UE; and report beam information to the gNB, the beam information to indicate the beam quality of each of the one or more reference signal resources and corresponding panel for receiving each of the one or more reference signal resources. Other embodiments may also be disclosed and claimed.
