An MAA may include a plurality of antenna modules, each of the antenna modules comprising an array of antenna elements coupled to a radio frequency (RF) beamforming circuit, the RF beamforming circuit to adjust phase shifts associated with the antenna elements to generate an antenna beam associated with the antenna module, a dynamic configuration unit to receive an indication of a usage for a one of the plurality of antenna modules, and a main beamforming unit coupled to the dynamic configuration unit and each of the antenna modules, the main beamforming unit to generate signal adjustments relative to the one of the plurality of antenna modules to control the antenna beam associated with the one of the plurality of antenna modules based at least in part on the usage.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for optimizing wireless communication are provided. An example method may include selecting a first direction at which to direct a first directional antenna beam, and selecting a second direction at which to direct a second directional antenna beam. The method may also include transmitting a first signal in the first direction, and transmitting a second signal in the second direction. The method may include receiving a first response to the first signal from a first user device, and receiving a second response to the second signal from a second user device. The method may include determining a first beam setting for the first user device based at least in part on the first response, and determining a second beam setting for the second user device based at least in part on the second response.
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.

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of processing single-carrier wireless communication signal. For example, a device may include a receiver to receive an analog single-carrier wireless communication signal representing a first plurality of time-domain samples at a first sampling rate; to convert the analog single-carrier wireless communication signal into a digital signal including a second plurality of time-domain samples at a second sampling rate, which is greater than the first sampling rate; to convert the second plurality of time-domain samples into a first plurality of frequency-domain samples; and to map the first plurality of frequency-domain samples into a second plurality of frequency-domain samples at the first sampling rate.

In various embodiments, configuration of the CoMP may be based on channel state information reference signals. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe devices, methods, computer-readable media, and systems configurations for configuration of downlink coordinated multipoint (CoMP) communications in a wireless communication network. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from an evolved Node B (eNB), a radio resource control (RRC) transmission including channel state informations (CSI) reference signal (RS) parameters for a plurality of transmission points. The UE may subsequently receive a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) including a plurality of index bits corresponding to one or more activated transmission points of the plurality of transmission points for which the feedback module is to generate CSI-RS feedback. The eNB may dynamically update the transmission points that are activated for CSI-RS feedback. The UE may receive another MAC CE from the eNB to notify the UE of the updated set of activated transmission points.
Abstract:
A cell-selection and a cell re-selection process include a wireless device that receives a signal from at least one node of a wireless network. The received signal can be a reference signal, an uplink signal, or a downlink signal, or a combination thereof. Location information of the wireless device is determined based on the received signal and transmitted to the wireless network. Information is received from the wireless network that contains a list of candidate nodes to which the wireless device can connect to the wireless network. The list of candidate nodes comprises a list of macro cell nodes, low-power cell nodes, or a combination thereof. The wireless device searches through the information containing the list of candidate nodes to determine a node for a connection to the wireless network.
