    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are related to beam management in cellular communication networks, and in particular, provide a new transmission (Tx) beamforming indication based on the flexible Tx beam-forming assignment on the corresponding reference signal configured in a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state for downlink (DL) or spatial relation information in the uplink (UL). The Tx beam-forming on the reference signal of the TCI state configured for the DL physical channel/reference signal can be updated based on reported Tx beam in the UL or using UL measurements from Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission. Similarly, spatial relation information configuration used to indicate Tx beam-forming in the UL, may be also updated based on the reference signal measurements in DL or by suing Downlink Control Information (DCI) based beam indication in a scheduling request indicator (SRI). Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: An apparatus is configured to be employed within a base station. The apparatus comprises baseband circuitry which includes a radio frequency (RF) interface and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to generate control information, the control information including a configured number of ports; receive a plurality of sounding reference signals (SRS) via the RF interface from a user equipment (UE) device, wherein each of the plurality of SRS is associated with one of the one or more precoders; and generate a ranking of a the one or more precoders based on the received plurality of SRS, wherein the plurality of SRS are associated with the one or more precoders.

    Abstract: Devices and methods of determining offsets for different eNBs in a dynamic switched CoMP network are generally described. A UE may receive, in an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message, DL parameter sets associated with different eNBs and having reference signal information for a PSS, SSS and DRS. The UE may receive reference signals based on the DL set associated with the eNB and determine a timing/frequency offset based on the reference signals. The offsets may be used to decode a dynamically switched PDSCH indicated by a PDCCH. The DL sets may indicate which PDCCH to detect or the PDCCH from the same eNB may be used and the PDSCH determined from a DCI in the PDCCH. A UL DCI may indicate which of UL parameter sets to use. The UL sets may indicate a reference signal to determine path loss and a timing advance value.

    Abstract: Technology for an eNodeB operable to perform multiuser non-orthogonal superposition transmissions for multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) is disclosed. The eNodeB can modulate a first physical multicast channel (PMCH) signal for MBMS with a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS). The eNodeB can modulate a second PMCH signal for MBMS with a second MCS. The eNodeB can multiplex the first PMCH signal and the second PMCH signal to form an aggregate PMCH signal. The eNodeB can transmit the aggregate PMCH signal to a plurality of UEs using multiuser non-orthogonal superposition for MBMS, wherein the first PMCH signal in the aggregate PMCH signal is transmitted using physical resource blocks (PRBs) that are partially or fully overlapped in time and frequency with PRBs of the second PMCH signal in the aggregate PMCH signal.

    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: Various embodiments provide techniques to determine a TBS for use with 1024 QAM communications that use more than one multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) layer based on a reference TBS for use with 1024 QAM communications that use a single MIMO layer. The reference TBS may be determined based on a TBS index and a resource allocation for the communication. The TBS index may be determined based on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
