Abstract:
In embodiments, an evolved Node B (eNB) of a wireless communication network may configure an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) physical resource block (PRB) set for a user equipment (UE). The EPDCCH-PRB set may include a plurality of PRB-pairs. The EPDCCH-PRB set may further include a plurality of enhanced resource element groups (EREGs) organized into localized enhanced control channel elements (ECCEs) having EREGs of the same PRB-pair and distributed ECCEs having EREGs of different PRB-pairs. In some embodiments, the eNB may determine a set of distributed EPDCCH candidates for the UE from the EPDCCH-PRB set, wherein the individual distributed EPDCCH candidates include one or more of the distributed ECCEs, and wherein the set of distributed EPDCCH candidates includes at least one EREG from each of the plurality of localized ECCEs. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
Apparatus, systems, and methods to implement DRS-based power control in communication systems are described. In one example, a network entity comprises processing circuitry to configure at least one discovery reference signal (DRS) for path loss measurement, determine a discovery reference signal power setting and transmit the discovery reference signal (DRS) via a wireless communication link. Other examples are also disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
Mobile communication devices, such as user equipment (UE) using 3GPP-LTE or LTE Advanced, may communicate directly with another UE through a system called Device-to-Device (D2D) communication. The establishment of a D2D communication session may involve having one of the UEs trigger the signaling procedures. In particular, a D2D resource re-allocation method may be used to optimize the D2D communication resource utilization efficiency in a dynamic manner, which is fully controlled by one of the D2D pair (termed the master UE or M-UE). The M-UE may be arranged to re-allocate resources based on the buffer status report (BSR) of the UEs in the D2D communication session. The M-UE may be further arranged to dynamically change the configuration of the transmission window based on characteristics of the D2D communication session.

Abstract:
Technology to provide physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource allocation in time division duplex (TDD) for a hybrid automatic retransmission request-acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) transmission in a subframe n is disclosed. In an example, a user equipment (UE) can include first circuitry configured to detect a downlink control channel within a prior specified subframe that is received in time before the subframe n. The UE can include second circuitry configured to: determine that the downlink control channel detected within the prior specified subframe is one of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH); and determine one of a legacy PUCCH resource for the HARQ-ACK transmission when the downlink control channel detected within the prior specified subframe is the PDCCH or an enhanced PUCCH resource for the HARQ-ACK transmission when the downlink control channel detected within the prior specified subframe is the EPDCCH.
Abstract:
Embodiments for providing fast modulation and coding scheme adaptation for LTE regardless of transmission using single-user multiple-input and multiple-output (SU-MIMO) or multiple-user multiple-input and multiple-output are generally described herein. In some embodiments, channel state information reference signals are sent to user equipment by a node. First channel quality indication feedback based on the channel state information reference signals is received from the user equipment. Physical downlink shared channel data and demodulation reference signals are transmitted using a first modulation and coding scheme based on the first channel quality indication feedback. Second channel quality indication feedback based on measurements performed by the user equipment on the demodulation reference signals is received by a node. Physical downlink shared channel data is transmitted using a second modulation and coding scheme based on the second channel quality indication feedback.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and storage media are described for new radio downlink positioning reference signal (NR DL PRS) resource allocation and configuration. In particular, some embodiments relate to some embodiments relate to NR DL PRS resource configurations such as comb size, number of symbols, DL PRS resource time configuration (e.g., initial start time and periodicity), and providing formulas for calculation of seed for DL PRS sequence generation. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) configured for operating in a fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) network may monitor search space sets for a number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates within a number of non-overlapped control-channel elements (CCEs) for a primary cell (PCell). The number of PDCCH candidates and the number of non-overlapped CCEs may include PDCCH candidates and non-overlapped CCEs on a scheduling secondary cell (SCell). The scheduling SCell may be an SCell that schedules a transmission on the PCell. The UE may decode one or more of the PDCCH candidates on the scheduling SCell for a downlink control information (DCI) format which may schedule a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission and/or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission of the PCell.
Abstract:
Devices and methods of enhancing narrowband communications are generally described. NPSS and NSSS are modulated to include an additional bit that indicates a duplexing scheme, a raster frequency offset (zero or non-zero), an operating mode (in-band or standalone/guard-band) or frame timing used by the eNB. The NPSS modulation uses conjugate ZC sequences multiplied by a cover code for each OFDM symbol. The NMIB may provide additional information related to the operating mode or offset. NSSS cyclic shifts may be used to indicate the offset or TDD/FDD use, as may relative locations of the NPSS and NSSS. The NSSS may use symbol-level modulation and time domain cyclic shifts to indicate the frame timing.
Abstract:
Various embodiments herein provide physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) designs for discrete Fourier transform-spread-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) waveforms for systems operating above the 52.6 GHz carrier frequency. Some embodiments of the present disclosure may be directed to phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) design for PUCCH with carrier frequencies above 52.6 GHz. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
