Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a base station. The apparatus may transmit a first grant to a UE. The apparatus may determine whether an acknowledgment to the first grant is received. When the acknowledgment to the first grant fails to be received by the apparatus, the apparatus may transmit, to the UE, a second grant including information regarding the first grant. In another aspect, an apparatus may be a UE. The apparatus may receive a first grant. The first grant may include a first Mayday bit. The apparatus may receive a second grant. The second grant may include a TTI count corresponding to a number of unacknowledged TTIs. The second grant may further include a second Mayday bit. The apparatus may determine an acknowledgment based on the TTI count and the first and second Mayday bits.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to SDMA operations across multiple network operating entities are provided. A first wireless communication device transmits a communication indicating a reservation for one or more spatial layers in a transmission opportunity (TXOP) of a shared spectrum. The shared spectrum is shared by a first network operating entity and a second network operating entity. The first wireless communication device is associated with the first network operating entity. The first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, data over the one or more spatial layers during the TXOP. The second wireless communication device is associated with the first network operating entity.

Abstract:
Techniques for overlapping cluster architecture for coordinated multipoint (CoMP) are provided. According to certain aspects, a method of wireless communication by a transmission point is provided. The method generally includes receiving, from a first base station, a first signal for a first user equipment (UE) to transmit over the air, receiving, from a second base station, a second signal for a second UE to transmit over the air, and combining the first and the second signals from the first and second base stations and transmitting the combined signal to the first and second UE.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication employing two-stage control channel messaging. Systems, methods, and apparatuses for two stage two-stage physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with a downlink control information (DCI) flag and DCI format size indicator are described. For instance, the present disclosure presents an example method of wireless communication at a wireless device, which may include receiving, at a first bandwidth and during a transmission time interval (TTI), a first control channel message. In addition, the example method may include determining, based on a flag in the first control channel message, whether a second control channel message is present in the TTI. Furthermore, the example method may include receiving, at a second bandwidth, the second control channel message where the flag indicates that the second control channel message is present for the TTI.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure are related to identifying whether an apparatus (e.g., base station, access point, etc.) is transmitting using a CRS based transmission scheme or a UE-RS based transmission scheme. Such detection may be necessary for PDSCH interference cancellation (IC) of a neighboring cell since a UE may not know which transmission scheme is used by the neighboring cell. For instance, the UE may know the transmission scheme of the serving cell, but the UE may not know the transmission scheme of a neighboring non-serving cell. As such, aspects of the disclosure provide for a blind detection algorithm to identify or determine a transmission mode or transmission scheme of a neighboring cell to then apply interference cancellation (IC) to an interfering signal received from the neighboring cell.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for transmission restriction and efficient signaling. A base station (BS) may determine information regarding a restricted set of system parameters used for transmission from at least one of the serving BS or one or more potentially interfering BSs and signal the information to a user equipment (UE). According to certain aspects, a UE may receive the signaling of information regarding the restricted set of system parameters used for transmission from at least one of the serving BS or the one or more potentially interfering BSs and use the information to cancel interference by transmissions from the one or more potentially interfering BSs or serving BS.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for employing a neighboring cell's assistance information for interference mitigation (e.g., by conveying the information to a user equipment). A base station (BS) may determine assistance information for a neighboring cell and convey it to a user equipment (UE). A UE may receive assistance information for a neighboring cell and use that information for performing interference cancellation or suppression on received signals. The UE may receive the assistance information from a serving cell or a non-serving cell. The assistance information may be valid for a particular transmission instance, for a known period of time, or until updated by a BS.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication is presented. The method includes determining, for each resource element group of a resource block pair, whether an interfering control channel is present on the resource block pair. The determination may be based on whether estimated power of the resource element groups varies among two or more resource element groups. The method also includes estimating the interference on the resource block pair based on the determination.
