    摘要: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for antenna virtualization, e.g., in at least a two-dimensional antenna array. NE physical antenna elements may be virtualized to Np logical antenna ports. A virtualization may be WTRU-specific, which may optimize MIMO performance. A simplified MIMO scheme may be used with A reduction in feedback, reference signal, and/or control signaling overhead. Antenna virtualization schemes may utilize channel characteristics. Antenna virtualization may be defined, for example, based on antenna port to antenna element mapping, based on a measurement reference signal, based on a codebook or a codebook subset or based on an antenna virtualization matrix. One or more antenna virtualization schemes may be configured in a cell. Antenna virtualization schemes may be configured in a WTRU-specific manner, perhaps for example based on a WTRU channel characteristic(s). A WTRU may report one or more useful (e.g., optimized) antenna virtualization schemes, e.g., based on one or more measurements.

    摘要: Methods, systems and apparatus are provided for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive, in a first subframe, downlink control information (DCI) including a grant for a physical downlink shared control channel (PDSCH) and an indication of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources. Further, the WTRU may receive, in the first subframe, data on the PDSCH based on the grant. Also, the WTRU may generate first acknowledgement (ACK)/negative ACK (NACK) information based on the data received on the PDSCH. Accordingly, the WTRU may transmit, in the first subframe, the first ACK/NACK information in a PUCCH transmission. In an example, the first ACK/NACK information may be transmitted in a time slot in the first subframe different from a time slot in the first subframe in which the DCI is received. Also, transmitting the PUCCH transmission may have a duration of one or two symbols.

    摘要: A method of multi-transmit/receive point (multi-TRP) transmission. The method comprises receiving a parameter set and a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission from each of multiple TRPs; decoding each received PDCCH transmission to obtain a K1 value for each of the multiple TRPs based on each received parameter set; receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission from each of the multiple TRPs; determining a PDSCH reception slot location for each received PDSCH transmission; determining, based on each determined PDSCH reception slot location and each obtained K1 value, a candidate PUCCH slot location for each of the multiple TRPs; and determining a selected PUCCH slot location for the multiple TRPs based on comparison of all of the determined candidate PUCCH slot locations, wherein if all of the determined candidate PUCCH slot locations are not the same, the selected PUCCH slot location is a farthest candidate PUCCH slot location.
