Abstract:
Channel covariance feedback is disclosed for enhanced full-dimension multiple input, multiple output (eFD-MIMO) systems. Channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) feedback operations are implemented using spatial covariance feedback of a covariance estimate. After obtaining a set of orthogonal basis vectors, a user equipment (UE) measures the CSI-RS from a base station and determines the spatial covariance matrix from the signal. The UE may then compress the spatial covariance matrix into a lower-dimension covariance estimate matrix using the orthogonal basis vectors. The lower-dimension matrix along with element-wise quantization allows for feedback of spatial covariance for eFD-MIMO systems without excessive feedback overhead.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for linear precoding in full-dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO) systems. According to aspects, an eNB may compress a larger number of antenna elements to a smaller number of antenna ports. The eNB may use a port precoding matrix to transmit reference signals to a UE, receive feedback regarding CSI based on the reference signals, and transmit data to the UE, based on a mapping of multiple data layers and mapping of antenna ports to the physical antenna elements. Further, aspects include performing elevation beamforming by dynamically forming one or more vertical sectors based on UE feedback in the elevation domain.
Abstract:
For communication utilizing polar codes, a hybrid automatic repeat request algorithm utilizing incremental redundancy (HARQ-IR) may provide increased throughput by including new data, not based on an original transmission, in a HARQ retransmission. The number of retransmitted bits and new information bits in each HARQ retransmission may be controlled in order to manage a tradeoff between increased throughput and a decreased block error rate (BLER).
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes a method, an apparatus, and a computer readable medium for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmissions. For example, the method may include generating a first codeword for a first information block, wherein the first codeword is a first polar code, and wherein the first information block includes cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits; transmitting the first codeword to a receiver; determining that the first polar code is not successfully decoded at the receiver based at least on a first message received from the receiver; generating a second codeword for a second information block, wherein the second codeword is a first enhanced polar code, and wherein the second information block does not include any CRC bits; transmitting the second codeword to the receiver; and determining that the second codeword and the first codeword are successfully decoded at the receiver based at least on a second message received from the receiver.
Abstract:
Aspects described herein generally relate to communicating between a user equipment (UE) and a cell using frequency division duplexing (FDD) to separate an uplink frequency band and a downlink frequency band with the cell. An indicator can be transmitted from the cell and received by the UE to implement time division duplexing (TDD) on the uplink frequency band. Based at least in part on the indicator, communicating between the UE and the cell can include separating the uplink frequency band into a plurality of downlink subframes for receiving downlink communications from the cell and a plurality of uplink subframes for transmitting uplink communications to the cell.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives, by a user equipment (UE) during a first subframe, an indication of a dynamic uplink/downlink (UL/DL) subframe configuration. The apparatus determines an uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing based on an uplink reference subframe configuration and at least one of the dynamic UL/DL subframe configuration or a downlink reference subframe configuration. The apparatus selects an uplink subframe for communication based on the determined uplink HARQ timing.
Abstract:
Design of precoding and feedback for user equipment (UE)-specific reference signals (UE-RS)-based open-loop and semi-open-loop multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) systems is discussed. Aspects of the present disclosure provide for sub-resource block (RB) random precoding that allows for greater diversity gain in a lower bandwidth. In addition, the recoding may be performed using resource element (RE)-level layer shifting that provides for a number of precoders to be assigned to a number of layers for every such continuous subcarrier. As such, two codewords may experience the same effective channel quality with channel quality indicators (CQI) being averaged across all of the layers.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques that may help enable the determination of uplink resource allocation in systems that support dynamic uplink-downlink subframe configurations. An example method generally includes receiving signaling indicating a dynamic uplink-downlink (UL-DL) subframe configuration, determining hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment/negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) timing based on a reference UL-DL subframe configuration, and determining HARQ resource allocation based on the dynamic UL-DL subframe configuration.
