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:
Embodiments for providing demodulation reference signals to provide side information for interference cancellation are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a sub-frame is prepared comprising two slots and configuring a physical resource block (PRB) for each slot, wherein each PRB comprises twelve Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) subcarriers transmitting for a duration of 7 OFDM symbols per slot. In resource elements on each of three of twelve OFDM subcarriers, two pairs of demodulation reference signals (DMRS) are allocated to form three DMRS sets. Symbols are mapped with a first modulation for the two pairs of demodulation reference signals to three of the twelve OFDM subcarriers for transmission. A second modulation is added to a first of the three DMRS sets and a third modulation is added to a second of the three DMRS sets to indicate side information regarding an interfering signal for use in mitigating the interfering signal.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting a plurality of uplink messages may include transmitting a first uplink message to a sink device and monitoring a feedback channel for feedback information from the sink device during one or more default feedback reception periods associated with the first uplink message. The method may further include skipping monitoring of the feedback channel during the remaining default feedback reception periods associated with the first uplink message if a number of consecutive default feedback reception periods containing positive feedback information exceeds a threshold, updating the threshold based on a channel quality measure, transmitting a second uplink message, and monitoring or skipping monitoring of the feedback channel during default feedback reception periods associated with a second uplink message based on the updated threshold.

Abstract:
Embodiments for providing signaling interference signaling information for UE assistance are generally described herein. In some embodiments, signaling information associated with interfering cells from a network node is received by user equipment (UE). The UE adjusts parameter estimation for mitigating interference based on the received signaling information.

Abstract:
Technology for improving the selection, transfer, and storage of user equipment (UE) radio capability information is disclosed. A cellular mobile network can be configured to identify radio-access-technology (RAT)-specific radio-capability information relating to RATs supported in the cellular mobile network and communicate the RAT-specific radio-capability information to a UE. The UE can use the RAT-specific radio-capability information to help determine which UE radio capability information to send to the network. In addition, the UE may store a list of supported frequency bands and/or supported frequency-band combinations (LOSB) indexed by network operators and use the list to help determine which UE radio capability information to send to the network. A network node may also selectively remove unnecessary information from UE radio capability information before storing the UE radio capability information at a mobility management entity (MME).
