Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for configuration and collision handling for time-overlapped transmission of uplink signals from multiple antenna panels of a user equipment (UE). The uplink signals may include, e.g., a sounding reference signal (SRS) and/or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) triggering for multiple user equipments (UEs) using a single downlink control information (DCI). In some embodiments, a new radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) may be used to indicate triggering of CSI-RS transmission for multiple UEs. Additionally, or alternatively, a new DCI format may be used that supports CSI-RS triggering for multiple UEs. The techniques described herein may provide reduced DCI overhead compared with prior techniques. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
Provided herein are apparatus and method for user equipment (UE) panel selection. The disclosure provides an apparatus for a UE, comprising: a radio frequency (RF) interface to receive one or more reference signal resources from a next generation NodeB (gNB); and processor circuitry coupled with the RF interface, the processor circuitry to: determine a beam quality for each of the one or more reference signal resources received at each panel of the UE; and report beam information to the gNB, the beam information to indicate the beam quality of each of the one or more reference signal resources and corresponding panel for receiving each of the one or more reference signal resources. Other embodiments may also be disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for supporting a UE in reporting of a selection of an NZP CSI-RS resource to an eNB supporting FD-MIMO communication. Each NZP CSI-RS resource is associated with a unique NZP CRI (or ‘Beam Index’) on a given serving cell. The UE may select an NZP CSI-RS resource for CSI calculation and reporting to the eNB based on processed CSI-RS signals received at an antenna of the UE from the eNB of a serving cell of the UE based on a CSI-RS resource configuration for the UE signaled from the eNB. The UE may report a CRI and a CSI of the selected NZP CSI-RS resource to the eNB of the serving cell of the UE based on a CRI reporting configuration of the UE signaled from the eNB.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for communicating in a cellular communications network, including provision of a user equipment comprising processing circuitry to: replace one or more transmission parameters from which a further transmission parameter may be determined with one or more corresponding virtual transmission parameters to provide one or more replacement transmission parameters from which a modified further transmission parameter may be determined; determine the modified further trans mission parameter based on the one or more replacement transmission parameters; and transmit a signal using the modified further transmission parameter.
Abstract:
Examples include techniques for using a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for downlink transmissions. In some examples information elements (IEs) for either a physical multicast channel (PMCH) or a physical multicast control channel (PMCCH) include information to indicate an MCS for downlink transmission over a PMCH or PMCCH between an evolved Node B (eNB) and user equipment (UE). For these examples, the information in the IEs include indications of whether higher order modulation for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) have or have not been enabled. Both the UE and the eNB may operate in compliance with one or more 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards.
Abstract:
A method comprises configuring a transmission mode for a user equipment (UE) based on user equipment specific reference signals (UE-RS) and configuring one or more precoding resource groups; and providing a dynamic indication to indicate which precoding resource group is valid for a physical downlink shared channel.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are directed to enhancements to sounding reference signal (SRS) configurations for fifth-generation (5G) systems. In embodiments disclosed herein, an apparatus comprises: memory to store sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information for an uplink transmission with up to eight layers by a user equipment (UE); and processing circuitry, coupled with the memory, to: retrieve SRS configuration information from the memory, wherein the SRS configuration information includes a maximum number of cyclic shifts for a comb value, and wherein the maximum number of cyclic shifts is an integer multiple of eight; and encode a message for transmission to the UE that includes the SRS configuration information.
Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to systems and methods systems and methods for a user equipment and a power headroom report including detecting a triggering of a plurality of pathloss references from a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs) between activation of successive power headroom reporting instances: tracking a power headroom concurrently for the plurality of TRPs during multiple transmission reception point (mTRP) operation to enable power headroom reporting for each respective TRP: tracking power headroom concurrently for each TRP of the plurality of TRPs in use during mTRP operation upon detection of the triggering of the plurality of pathloss references: and providing a power headroom determination and a power headroom report to each of the plurality of TRPs in use during mTRP operation based on the triggered plurality of pathloss references.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided to address SRS configuration and transmission in the scenario of multi-DCI multi-TRP operation. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
