Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communication by a first network entity. The method generally includes generating beam forming weights (BFWs) based on channel estimates (CEs) based on precoded demodulation reference signals (DMRS), performing a reversion procedure, on the BFWs, based on precoding applied at a user equipment (UE) when transmitting the precoded DMRS, and transmitting, on a fronthaul (FH), a signal to a second network entity with beamforming using the BFWs.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may transmit, and a user equipment (UE) may receive, a bitmap that includes a bit sequence to indicate a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission pattern. The UE may perform rate matching around one or more candidate SSB positions in an initial portion of a window in which SSB transmission is expected, based at least in part on the bitmap, a first parameter indicating a quantity of initial candidate SSB positions in the window subject to rate matching, and a second parameter indicating a quantity of initial bits in the bit sequence that define the SSB transmission pattern. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Scheduling around frame based equipment (FBE) idle periods reduces the flexibility of scheduling and partitioning. This leads to a latency caused by waiting for the next downlink scheduling opportunity and skipping over unused uplink scheduling slots. According to certain aspects, to reduce overhead caused by idle time and ensure full downlink scheduling, a base station (BS) alternates between idle periods and channel occupancy time every fixed frame period with one or more other synchronized BSs, between components carriers of the BS, or both. Thus, a BS can always schedule downlink on a carrier during an idle period scheduled for a different BS and/or a different carrier.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods of wireless communications are described for determining one or more bands (e.g., guard bands in wireless local area networks (WLANs)) in unused portions of an unlicensed spectrum, positioning one or more carriers for cellular communication (e.g., long term evolution (LTE) or LTE advanced communication) in the one or more bands, and performing the cellular communication over the unlicensed spectrum using the one or more carriers. In some non-limiting example aspects, the cellular communication may be in a standalone mode and the one or more carriers may include a primary component carrier (PCC) that is positioned in a Wi-Fi guard band. In these non-limiting example aspects, the apparatus and methods may further include allocating one or more secondary component carriers (SCCs) in Wi-Fi guard bands or in Wi-Fi channels, where the one or more SCCs are opportunistically tuned or turned ON/OFF based on cell loading or backhaul constraints.
Abstract:
Detecting local cell identifier collision by a base station may be achieved by receiving, at a first base station from a user device, a dedicated identifier associated with a second base station. The dedicated identifier may include or otherwise map to a user device identifier associated with the second base station and a local cell identifier associated with the second base station. Based on the dedicated identifier, it may be determined, at the first base station, that there is a local cell identifier collision between the first base station and the second base station.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus preserves a state of a UE in an anchor eNB, wherein the anchor eNB is one of a set of connected cells, the UE being in a connected mode. Each cell of the connected set has a corresponding coverage area. The apparatus then maintains the state of the UE in the anchor eNB when the UE moves from a coverage area of the anchor eNB to a coverage area of another one of the cells from the set of connected cells.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for femtocell backhaul sharing. The method includes determining whether an available bandwidth for communication by the network entity is below a bandwidth threshold. The method includes requesting additional bandwidth from at least one neighbor network node in response to determining that the available bandwidth is below the bandwidth threshold. The method includes receiving configuration information from the at least one neighbor network node to increase the available bandwidth by at least a portion of the requested additional bandwidth.

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with determining whether to offload a device from a femto node. In one example, a serving femto node is equipped to obtain load information regarding a target node, compare an expected throughput at the target node, estimated based in part on the load information, to a threshold, and determine whether to handover a device to the target node based in part on the comparing. In an aspect, the serving node is further equipped to compute its own throughput based on parameters specific to the serving femto node or the device, and the threshold is the throughput at the serving femto node.

Techniques providing opportunistic frequency switching for frame based equipment (FBE), such as may be configured to minimize opportunistic frequency switching delay in FBE new radio (NR) unlicensed (NR-U) networks and/or to provide frequency diversity FBE access based on offset sequences of medium sensing occasions for the carrier frequencies are disclosed. Within the FBE mode network, a base station may configure a pattern of sensing locations in each frame for each frequency transmission unit of the plurality of frequency transmission units, wherein an inter-unit delay of sensing locations between a first frequency transmission unit and a next adjacent frequency transmission unit and between a last frequency transmission unit and the first frequency transmission unit is a fixed duration. Opportunistic frequency switching of embodiments may utilize the medium sensing locations for opportunistically switching between a sequence of the frequency transmission units for implementing frequency diversity FBE access.
