Abstract: A class of dynamic switching mechanisms is used with multiple HARQ block sizes to reduce HARQ retransmission overhead while limiting the increase of HARQ ACK feedback overhead. Per-code block link adaptation can be used to support multiple MCSs for a single user in each subframe with fine time-frequency granularity, with low-bandwidth signaling overhead and without a complete dependency on reference signal (RS) structure.

Abstract: An apparatus is configured to be employed within one or more user equipment (UE). The apparatus includes control circuitry and a transceiver. The control circuitry is configured to generate a physical random access channel (PRACH), wherein the PRACH includes a preamble for PRACH transmission using a license assisted access (LAA) secondary cell. The transceiver is coupled to the control circuitry and is configured to retry transmission of the PRACH on a listen before talk (LBT) failure based of the secondary cell.

Abstract: Embodiments describe example radio access networks where uplink and downlink communications operate asymmetrically. In one embodiment, an inverse fast Fourier transform and an add cyclic prefix operation is performed on a downlink communications by a baseband unit. In an uplink communication using the same baseband unit, a corresponding fast Fourier transform and a remove cyclic prefix operation are performed at a remote radio unit. This generates different levels of traffic on a physical communication link between the baseband unit and the remote radio unit for uplink and downlink communications with similar characteristics.

Abstract: A network device (e.g., an evolved Node B (eNB), user equipment (UE) or the like) can operate to enable scheduling UL transmissions on transmission opportunities outside of the UL grants or for multi-carrier UL scheduling. A communication component of the device can operate to process or generate communications on an unlicensed band or a licensed band in response to UL grants and indications provided via a DL transmission for scheduling. An eNB can provide indications to a UE for processing that indicate whether a transmission opportunity is on the same transmission opportunity as the UL grants or an external/outside transmission opportunity. The indications can further trigger an listen-before-talk (LBT) protocol, which can vary between a category 4 LBT or a single LBT interval that is shorter than the category 4 LBT, depending on the indication.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods using or implementing dynamic beamforming in control channels, by transmitting downlink control channels to user equipment (UEs) in a number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of a downlink subframe. A first OFDM symbol of the number of OFDM symbols can be transmitted using first beamforming parameters in a first direction, and a second OFDM symbol of the number of OFDM symbols can be transmitted using second beamforming parameters different from the first beamforming parameters and in a second direction different from the first direction. The number of OFDM symbols used, as well as other parameters, can be dynamically adjusted in subsequent subframes. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: Technology to achieve uplink synchronization with a mmWave enhanced Node B (eNB) is disclosed. In an example, a user equipment (UE) can include circuitry configured to: receive selected random access (RA) parameters from an anchor eNB for uplink synchronization; identify a transmission direction for communication with the mmWave eNB based on a downlink synchronization of the UE with the mmWave eNB; and communicate a random access channel (RACH) transmission in the identified transmission direction for uplink synchronization of time, frequency, and beam direction with the mmWave eNB.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein describe a centralized-processing cloud-based RAN (C-RAN or cloud-RAN) architecture that offers reduced front-haul data-rate requirements compared to common-public-radio-interface (CPRI) based C-RAN architectures. Base-band physical-layer processing can be divided between a BBU Pool and an enhanced RRH (eRRH). A frequency-domain compression approach that exploits LTE signal redundancy and user scheduling information can be used at the eRRH to significantly reduce front-haul data-rate requirements. Uniform scalar quantization and variable-rate Huffman coding in the frequency-domain can be applied in a compression approach based on the user scheduling information wherein a lossy compression is followed by a lossless compression.
