Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5GNR) network performs Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) based Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements with or without measurement gaps. The UE may decode network signalling or that triggers a status change of a pre-configured measurement gap. The UE may perform the SSB based RRM measurements with measurement gaps when the network signalling that triggered a pre-configured measurement gap status change activated the pre-configured measurement gap. The UE may deactivate the pre-configured measurement gap and perform the SSB based RRM measurements without measurement gaps when the network signalling that triggered a pre-configured measurement gap status change deactivated the pre-configured measurement gap. The UE may also encode a measurement report for transmission to the network which may include measurements results from the SSB based RRM measurements performed during a measurement reporting delay period. The number of samples of the SSB based RRM measurements that are included in the measurement report may be based at least in part on measurement gap status changes triggered during the measurement reporting delay period.
Abstract:
An apparatus and system for a receive (RX) beam assumption, and inter-cell radio beam measurements and resource management (RRM) requirements are described. In response to a determination whether or not a frequency range2 (FR2) signal from a neighbor cell is to be measured inside a Synchronization System (SS) ZPhysical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC) window, a first RX beam from the neighbor cell for a Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP) measurement of the FR2 signal and a second RX beam for a Layer 3 RSRP (L3-RSRP) measurement of the FR2 signal are selected. A L1-RSRP of the FR2 signal for the first RX beam and L3-RSRP of the FR2 signal for the second RX beam are measured and feedback provided to a serving cell.
Abstract:
A computer-readable storage medium stores instructions to configure a UE for radio resource management (RRM) measurements in a 5G NR. network, and to cause the UE to perform operations. The operations include decoding RRC signaling. The RRC signaling includes system information associated with an inter-RAT cell of a. target base station. The system information includes an indicator for support of enhanced RRM measurements by the inter-RAT cell. Configuration information from a. source base station is decoded. The configuration information includes a handover instruction for performing a handover from the source base station to the target base station. A determination is made whether to perform the enhanced RRM measurements and the handover based on the indicator.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to using enhanced acknowledgment and power save. A device may determine a multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) frame associated with a MU-MIMO group. The device may determine a first portion of the MU-MIMO frame associated with the first station device of the MU-MIMO group, wherein the first portion comprises a first indication of a first time offset associated with the first station device. The device may determine a second portion of the MU-MIMO frame associated with the second station device of the MU-MIMO group, wherein the second portion comprises a second indication of a second time offset associated with the second station device. The device may cause to send the MU-MIMO frame to the MU-MIMO group. The device may identify a first acknowledgment from the first station device based on the first time offset.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to scheduled multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) acknowledgement. A device may determine a block acknowledgment schedule associated with one or more destination devices.

The device may identify one or more acknowledgment frames received from at least one of the one or more destination devices based on the block acknowledgment schedule.
Abstract:
For example, an EDMG initiator STA of an asymmetric beamforming training may be configured to, during a Beacon Transmission Interval (BTI) in a Beacon Interval (BI), transmit a beacon via a sector of the EDMG initiator STA, the beacon including allocation information to allocate a beamforming training allocation for asymmetric beamforming training of the sector during a Data Transfer Interval (DTI) in the BI after the BTI, the beacon including one or more Receive Training (TRN-R) subfields for the asymmetric beamforming training of the sector; during the beamforming training allocation, to listen on the sector for one or more Sector Sweep (SSW) frames from one or more EDMG responder STAs; and, during the beamforming training allocation, to transmit via the sector a sector acknowledgement (ACK) frame including information based on the one or more SSW frames.
Abstract:
Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to adjust a receiver timing is disclosed. The UE can decode a plurality of channel-state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) received from a plurality of cooperating nodes, wherein the plurality of cooperating nodes are included in a coordination set of a Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP) system. The UE can generate a plurality of received RS timings from the plurality of CSI-RSs, wherein the received RS timings represent timings from the plurality of cooperating nodes. The UE can determine a composite received RS timing from the plurality of received RS timings. The UE can adjust the receiver timing based on the composite received RS timing.
Abstract:
Embodiments of providing enhanced interference measurements for CSI feedback are generally described herein. In some embodiments, CSI-IM resources are used by UE to perform interference measurements. The serving cell determines a hopping pattern for varying a position of the determined CSI-IM resources in subframes transmitted to the served UE. The determined CSI-IM resources and the determined CSI-IM resources hopping pattern are transmitted to the served UE. The serving node transmits a zero-power (ZP) CSI-RS. The serving node receives an interference measurement from the served UE based on CSI-IM and ZP CSI-RS provided to the served UE from the serving cell. Collisions between the CSI-IM of the serving node and CSI-IM of the non-serving nodes are minimized by the determined CSI-IM resources hopping pattern.
