Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A network device, such as a base station, may transmit a request message to a user equipment (UE). The request message may include a request for the UE to transmit a set of sounding reference signals (SRSs). The set of SRSs may include two (or more) beamformed signals. The network device may receive the set of SRSs according to the request message. The network device may identify, based on a co-phasing parameter associated with the two (or more) beamformed signals, an antenna port precoder configuration to use for communicating with the UE.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus configures a number of channel measurement periods for an n number of user equipments (UEs), determines a number of subsets of the n UEs based on a pattern, and schedules each of the number of subsets of the n UEs for transmission of a signal during a different one of the number of channel measurement periods.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may transmit a random access message to a wireless node using multiple symbols. The random access message may include repetitions of a random access sequence weighted by a spreading code. For example, a random access sequence may be weighted using different elements of the spreading code, where a first repetition may be weighted with a first element and a second repetition may be weighted using a second element. The weighted random access signals may be spread over multiple symbols and transmitted to the wireless node as the random access message. In some cases, a spreading code may include values of one and negative one, may be based on rows of a Hadamard matrix, or may correspond to a number of symbols used to transmit the random access message.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the disclosure relate to communicating uplink control information. As one example, a user equipment may send uplink control information to a base station. In some aspects, the number of symbols used to communicate the uplink control information may be based on a link gain associated with the UE and/or based on a payload size of the uplink control information. As another example, the user equipment may send channel information for a number of beams to the base station. In some aspects, the number of beams may be based on the type of channel that is used to send the uplink control information.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for wireless communication are provided. A transmitting apparatus receives an indication to use multiple subframes to send uplink control information, codes the uplink control information over the multiple subframes based on the indication, and sends the coded uplink control information via the multiple subframes. Sending the coded uplink control information includes transmitting acknowledgement information (ACK) of a current downlink-centric self-contained subframe in an uplink acknowledgement portion of the current downlink-centric self-contained subframe, bundling ACK bits of multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes and encoding the bundled ACK bits to generate parity acknowledgement bits associated with systematic acknowledgement bits, transmitting the systematic acknowledgement bits in each uplink acknowledgement portion of the multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes, and transmitting the parity acknowledgement bits associated with the acknowledgement information bits of the multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes in an uplink-centric self-contained subframe that is sequentially subsequent to the multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives one or more D2D broadcasts in a set of subchannels of a channel. In addition, the apparatus broadcasts in at least one subchannel of the channel information indicating a subset of the set of subchannels. The one or more D2D broadcasts may include a first set of broadcasts that includes control information and a second set of broadcasts that includes data traffic. The broadcasted information may be control information. The apparatus may determine a signal strength of each of the one or more D2D broadcasts received in the set of subchannels. The broadcasted information may further include the determined signal strength for each subchannel in the subset of the set of subchannels.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates in some aspects to dynamically reserving a channel for performing connection setup and/or communicating high priority messages. RTS-CTS resources may be statically associated with different functions and different priorities. The highest priority RTS-CTS resource (or one of the highest priority RTS-CTS resources) may be used to set up connections between devices and/or communicate high priority messages between devices.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives discovery resource information from a base station, sends a discovery signal based on the discovery resource information, and receives from at least one user equipment (UE) a request for relaying with the base station based on the discovery signal. The apparatus may also receive a discovery signal from a relay, and send to the relay a request for relaying with a base station based on the discovery signal. The apparatus may further receive a discovery signal from each of a plurality of relays, determine to select one of the plurality of relays based on the discovery signal from each relay, and send to a selected relay a request for relaying with a base station based on the discovery signal when one of the plurality of relays is determined to be selected.
