    Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for simultaneous high-speed multi-user beam tracking in a Wireless Network are generally described herein. A transmitting station (STA) may be configured to support directional wireless links with multiple receiving STAs in a high-mobility millimeter-wave (mm Wave) wireless network. The transmitting STA may include hardware processing circuitry configured to, for each of the multiple receiving STAs, transmit a packet over a directional wireless link between the transmitting STA and the receiving STA and receive transmit antenna performance metrics from the receiving STA. The packet may include a data portion, a receive training sequence, and a transmit training sequence that occupy different portions of the packet, and the transmission of the packet over the directional wireless link may include transmission of the data portion of the packet according to a current transmit antenna direction associated with the directional wireless link.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media for providing multi-cell, multi-point single user (SU) multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) operations are described. In embodiments, an apparatus may receive and process a first set of one or more independent data streams received in a downlink channel from a first transmission point. The apparatus may receive and process a second set of one or more independent data streams received in a downlink channel from a second transmission point. The apparatus may process control information received from the first transmission point or the second transmission point. The control information may include an indication of a quasi co-location assumption to be used for estimating channel characteristics for reception of the first set of one or more independent data streams or the second set of one or more independent data streams. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Channel state information (CSI) feedback of common CSI components is discussed. An example user equipment (UE) includes a receiver circuit, processor, and transmitter circuit. The receiver circuit is configured to receive CSI configuration information for a plurality of downlink (DL) cells that indicates a first group of two or more of the DL cells and at least one CSI component designated for common reporting for the first group. The processor is configured to calculate a group value for each of the at least one CSI components designated for common reporting for the first group and selectively calculate, for each DL cell of the first group, individual values for any CSI components not designated for common reporting for the first group. The transmitter circuit is configured to transmit the group value for each of the designated CSI components and the individual values for any additional CSI components.
