Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for efficient configuration of demodulation reference signals in beamformed wireless communications systems. In an embodiment, the transmitter can signal the location of demodulation reference signals (DMRS) by including an indicator bit in downlink control information indicating which DMRS scheme is used in the transmission. A first DMRS scheme can let the user equipment (UE) device know that the DMRS position for the PDSCH carrying the RMSI is as signaled on the master information block (MIB)—referred to as PDSCH Mapping Type A. A second DMRS scheme can let the UE device know that the DMRS position for the PDSCH carrying the RMSI is the first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of said PDSCH allocation—referred to as PDSCH mapping type B).

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards using a frequency-separated band as a supplementary uplink band for a new radio downlink band that cannot operate as a time division duplex band and otherwise has no paired uplink band. The paired bands are separated in frequency, yet operate in the time division duplex mode. The supplementary uplink for New Radio facilitates coexistence with LTE in the frequency division duplex spectrum.

Abstract: To increase network efficiency, a user equipment (UE) can be appointed as a local manager to coordinate the allocation of resources used by other UEs. For example, the network can promote the UE as a local manager and assign the local manager a resource pool. The local manager can then broadcast synchronization signals to let the other UEs associate themselves with the local manager. After the other UEs are synced with the local manager, the local manager can allocate resources to the other UEs. Based on report data regarding the local managers management procedures, the network can maintain the UE as the local manager or demote the UE from local manager status.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards indicating to a receiver (e.g., a user equipment) which antenna ports are assigned for channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS). The indicator can be sent as radio resource control configuration data and/or by physical layer signaling such as in downlink control information. The receiver computes CSI based on the assigned antenna port or ports, and the reported (e.g., joint) CSI helps avoid mismatched joint CSI used for scheduling when multiple transmit and receive points (TRPs) are communicating with the user equipment.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a processor and a memory that can store executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can include generating a first signal in an initial domain and transforming the first signal into a first portion of a time-frequency grid of a time-frequency domain, resulting in a transformed first signal. The operations further include combining the transformed first signal with a second signal of a second portion of the time-frequency grid, resulting in a combined signal, and transmitting the combined signal to a user equipment device for a further transformation. The operations further include receiving a response signal from the user equipment device that was configured, based on the further transformed first signal.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides techniques for detecting and correcting radio link failures based on the different usage scenarios. In one embodiment, a device is provided that comprises a processor, and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of various operations. These operations can comprise monitoring a quality of a radio link established between the device and a network device of a wireless communication network based on downlink transmissions received from the network device. These operations can further comprise determining whether the quality indicates the device and the network device are out-of-sync based on the quality being below a defined quality level, wherein the defined quality level varies based on a usage scenario associated with usage of the radio link by the device.

Abstract: An example method may include a processing system of a base station having a processor selecting a blank resource of a time and frequency resource grid of the base station for a transmission of a channel sounding waveform and transmitting the channel sounding waveform via the blank resource. Another example method may include a processing system of a channel sounding receiver receiving at a location, from a base station, a channel sounding waveform via a blank resource of a time and frequency resource grid of the base station, and measuring a channel property at the location based upon the channel sounding waveform.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards over the air synchronization of network nodes. In general, the techniques disclosed herein can be implemented by a first base station node device and a second base station node device. A wireless backhaul connection between the base station node devices allows the first base station node device to connect to a core network via the second base station node device. The techniques disclosed herein can be implemented as a protocol including communications back and forth between the base station node devices, which enables measurement of communication delays such as propagation delays and processing delays. The base station node devices can then use the measured communication delays to better synchronize clocks used to time radio frequency transmissions.
