Abstract:
A method for mitigating interference in a wireless network includes an eNodeB and/or a UE identifying interference. The eNodeB may identify the interfering TDD configurations based on a downlink signal of a neighboring eNodeB received during an uplink timeslot for a UE associated with the eNodeB. Likewise, the UE may identify an interfering UE based on an uplink signal received during a downlink timeslot for an eNodeB associated with the UE. The eNodeB performs interference management based at least in part on the identified interference.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method of wireless communication that includes receiving one or more channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources. The method further includes performing timing estimation based on the one or more CSI-RS resources, receiving a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) based transmission, and utilizing the timing estimation to decode the DM-RS based transmission.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which one or more semi-static parameters associated with at least one neighboring eNode B (eNB) and an interfering user equipment (UE) are detected, at an eNB, and a blind interference reduction scheme based on the one or more detected semi-static parameters to reduce a signal from the interfering UE is applied.
Abstract:
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a serving base station determines a path loss and/or a distance measurement between the serving base station and a neighbor base station. A cell-specific power control parameter and a UE transmission power may be determined based on the determined path loss and/or distance measurement. Finally, the serving base station assigns a UE transmission rate based at least on a region where a UE is located, the region being within a serving cell
Abstract:
Aspects are described for reducing interference in wireless systems. In a first embodiment, an uplink acknowledgment region associated with a macro cell is determined, and an assignment of uplink control resources is restricted to a region within the uplink acknowledgment region. A control signal is then transmitted to user equipment via the assignment of uplink control resources. In another embodiment, control signals are received from wireless terminals, which include desired uplink control signals associated with an access point base station, as well as interfering uplink acknowledgement signals associated with macro cells. The control signals may then be regenerated by cancelling the set of interfering signals from the control signals. The desired uplink control signals are then decoded.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for reducing the decoding complexity for low cost devices (e.g., low cost UEs). One technique may include simplifying the PDCCH format. This may include generating a compact DCI format for transmitting DCI to a low cost device. The compact DCI format may correspond to at least one standard DCI format used by a regular UE and may comprise a reduced number of bits when compared to the standard DCI format. Another technique may include reducing the number of blind decodes. This technique may include selecting a set of resources for transmitting DCI from a limited set of decoding candidates, such that a receiving low cost device need only perform blind decodes for the limited set of decoding candidates.
Abstract:
A method, base station (BS), user equipment (UE), apparatus, and computer program product for wireless communication are provided. A BS and a UE may communicate using a narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) communication system. However, a frequency, time, and/or power associated with transmission of a SIB1-NB on a non-anchor carrier may not be configured for NB-IoT. In some aspects, the BS may determine parameters, such as a time domain location parameter, a frequency domain location parameter, a quantity of repetitions, a power boosting parameter, and/or the like for a transmission in NB-IoT. In some aspects, a UE may determine to transmit a connection request message on a different carrier than a random access channel message.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems may support emergency messaging using a mobile relay. For example, a first user equipment (UE), may transmit a first emergency message indicating a request for relaying a second emergency message to one or more network entities, the first UE being out-of-coverage of a network entity. The first UE may receive, from a second UE associated with an aircraft, a feedback message in response to the first emergency message and may transmit, to the second UE, a second emergency message based on receiving the feedback message. The second UE may receive the second emergency message and transmit, over an air-to-ground wireless communications network, an indication based on the first emergency message and the second emergency message.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) receiving, from a base station, one or more random access channel (RACH) configurations. The RACH configurations may allocate resources for a contention-based RACH procedure for accessing a wireless network. Based on the RACH configurations, the UE may determine a set of random access occasions for an association period. From the set of random access occasions, the UE may map one or more indices of a plurality of synchronization signal blocks to one or more random access occasions. Using the one or more random access occasions, the UE may transmit a random access sequence, including one or more repetitions of the random access sequence to the base station to access the wireless network.

An example aspect comprises selecting an azimuth mode for an OAM MIMO transmission by a transmitter that includes a first number of circles that each include a second number of antenna elements, wherein the azimuth mode defines a DFT vector of a size less than or equal to the second number; selecting, from a plurality of radial modes associated with the azimuth mode, a radial mode for the transmission, wherein the radial modes include at least a first radial mode defining a first beamforming vector and a second radial mode defining a second beamforming vector, wherein each one of the first and second beamforming vectors includes the DFT vector weighted and repeated for a number of times less than or equal to the first number, wherein the first and second beamforming vectors are orthogonal to each other; and transmitting a signal using a beam configured according to the radial mode.
