Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provided techniques that may be applied in systems that utilize bundled transmissions from a base station (e.g., an eNodeB) to a user equipment (UE), when a user equipment (UE) is in a connected mode of operation. An exemplary method performed by a UE for processing a downlink control channel sent as a bundled transmission over a bundle of subframes, comprises determining when to start monitoring for the control channel; and monitoring for the control channel in a limited number of downlink subframes, based on the determination.
Abstract:
Reference signals may not uniformly span over time and/or frequency on a resource unit. For example, reference signals may non-uniformly occupy symbols of a subframe. Alternatively, reference signals normally transmitted over certain tones of a subframe may have to be punctured to avoid collisions with a PSS and/or SSS transmitted over the same tones. Consequently, a UE may only be able to use a subset of reference signal tones for performing channel estimation. Accordingly, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided for improving channel estimation under a non-uniform signal pattern. The apparatus indicates to a UE to utilize a subset of reference signals to derive a channel estimate for demodulating data in a specific subframe, and transmits a plurality of subframes, the plurality of subframes including the reference signals and the specific subframe, the specific subframe including a PSS and/or SSS.

Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes receiving a signal from an base station. The method also includes determining a timing advance loop from a set of timing advance loops, and/or a power control loop from a set of power control loops. The determination is based on the received signal.
Abstract:
According to example embodiments, a method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) is included. The method generally includes performing channel estimation at a plurality of frequency locations based on reference signals (RS) transmitted from at least one transmission point, computing at least one channel feedback metric for each frequency location, and transmitting the channel feedback metrics to the transmission point. According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications by a base station (BS) is provided. The BS may receive channel feedback metrics from a UE, calculated at a plurality of frequency locations based on RSs transmitted from the BS. The BS may perform interpolation to determine values for channel feedback metrics for frequency locations between frequency locations of the received channel feedback metrics.
Abstract:
A method for wireless communication may include a mobile entity receiving a timing indicator for a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle during a DRX mode, and adjusting at least an acknowledgement timing in response to receiving the timing indicator for the DRX cycle. A base station in communication with the mobile entity may provide a timing indicator for a DRX cycle during a DRX mode to the mobile entity, transmit at least one of downlink (DL) data or an uplink (UL) grant indicator to the mobile entity at a first time, and waiting from the first time for a time period indicated by the timing indicator before receiving at least one of an acknowledgement of the DL data or UL data responsive to the UL grant from the mobile entity.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive scheduling information for an uplink shared channel transmission, the scheduling information indicating multiple transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. The UE may transmit a first portion of the uplink shared channel multiplexed with uplink control information (UCI) using a first set of resources and in accordance with a first TCI state. Similarly, the UE may transmit a second portion of the uplink shared channel multiplexed with UCI using a second set of resources and in accordance with a second TCI state. The first set of resources and the second set of resources may overlap in time, but not in frequency. A network entity may receive and decode the first portion and the second portion of the uplink shared channel.
Abstract:
Monostatic radar with progressive length transmission may be used with half-duplex systems or with full-duplex systems to reduce self-interference. The system transmits a first signal for a first duration and receives a first reflection of the first signal from a first object during a second duration. The system transmits a second signal for a third duration longer than the first duration and receives a second reflection of the second signal from a second object during a fourth duration. The system calculates a position of the first object and the second object based on the first reflection and the second reflection. The first signal, first duration, and second duration are configured to detect reflections from objects within a first distance of the system. The second signal, third duration, and fourth duration are configured to detect reflections from objects between the first distance and a second distance from the system.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive configuration information indicative of a carrier aggregation configuration associated with a first component carrier (CC) and a second CC. The UE may receive scheduling information indicative of at least one scheduled transmission during a transmission occasion associated with at least one of the first CC or the second CC. The UE may transmit, using at least one transmission power during the transmission occasion, at least one communication on the at least one of the first CC or the second CC. The at least one transmission power is based at least in part on a maximum transmission power limit and a power headroom (PHR) reference value that is determined independently of the maximum transmission power limit. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may be configured to transmit an indication of UE capability to support a cross frequency range/band sounding reference signal (SRS) indication for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduling. The UE may transmit the indication of the UE capability to the network node, the indication of the UE capability including an association between a first reference signal (RS) transmitted in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, the second frequency band being different from the first frequency band, transmit the first RS in the first frequency band to the network node, and receive an uplink (UL) grant scheduling a UL channel associated with the second frequency band from the network node, the UL grant being based at least in part on the first RS in the first frequency band.
