Abstract:
Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products directed to initial access in higher frequencies are provided. Among the methods is a method that may be implemented in a wireless transmit/receive unit and that may include any of receiving a first transmission having a frequency component that carries synchronization signal information and that corresponds to one sync-raster value of a plurality of values of a sync raster; determining one or more parameters based on (i) the one sync-raster value being a member of a partition of a plurality of partitions of the sync raster; and (ii) the partition being indicative of a mode of operation; and receiving a second transmission using the one or more parameters, wherein the second transmission comprises control channel information.
Abstract:
Methods and devices for offloading and/or aggregation of resources to coordinate uplink transmissions when interacting with different schedulers are disclosed herein. A method in a WTRU includes functionality for coordinating with a different scheduler for each eNB associated with the WTRU's configuration. Disclosed methods include autonomous WTRU grant selection and power scaling, and dynamic prioritization of transmission and power scaling priority.
Abstract:
A method implemented by a Wireless Transmit/Receive Unit (WTRU) includes receiving a DeModulation Interference Measurement (DM-IM) resource, determining an interference measurement based on the DM-IM resource, and demodulating a received signal based on the interference measurement. An interference is suppressed based on the interference measurement. At least one DM-IM resource is located in a Physical Resource Block (PRB). The DM-IM resource is located in a PRB allocated for the WTRU. The DM-IM resource is a plurality of DM-IM resources which form a DM-IM pattern, and the DM-IM pattern is located on a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and/or an enhanced Physical Downlink Shared Channel (E-PDSCH) of at least one Long Term Evolution (LTE) subframe. The DM-IM resources are different for different Physical Resource Blocks (PRB) in the LTE subframe. The DM-IM is located in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) Resource Block (RB), and the DM-IM pattern is adjusted.

Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to enhanced control channel and shared channel transmissions at high frequencies are provided. Among the methods is a method that may include any of receiving downlink control information indicating a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), a time domain resource assignment, and a frequency domain resource assignment; obtaining a subcarrier spacing (SCS) and a cyclic prefix (CP) length based on the MCS; determining the time and frequency domain resource assignments based on the SCS and the CP length; and receiving a downlink transmission at time and frequency resources associated with the time and frequency domain resource assignments.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for a WTRU to act as a mobile relay, the method comprising the WTRU connecting to the network, the WTRU receiving a message from the network indicating that the WTRU is to act as a mobile relay for one or more devices outside of the coverage of the network, the WTRU discovering one or more devices outside of the coverage of the network, and the WTRU receiving a message from the out-of-coverage device that indicates that the out-of-coverage device has selected the WTRU to act as a mobile relay.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and system of a User Equipment (UE) device executing communications using a Device-to-Device (D2D) Long Term Evolution (LTE) network are provided. The method includes determining D2D devices communicating in an area, determining whether D2D data is to be transmitted, determining one or more resource sets for transmitting the D2D data, and transmitting the D2D data using the determined one or more resource sets.
Abstract:
A method of managing carrier aggregation for a multi-radio access technology (RAT) wireless transmitter/receiver unit (WTRU) is disclosed. The method may include: receiving, by the WRTU over a primary channel associated with a RAT of a first type, provisioning information for provisioning a supplementary channel associated with a RAT of a second type; establishing the supplementary channel associated with the RAT of the second type based on the received provisioning information; and wirelessly exchanging, by the WRTU, first data associated with a communication over the primary channel via the RAT of the first type, while wireless exchanging second data associated with the communication over the supplementary channel via the RAT of the second type.
