Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may transmit a subframe that includes physical broadcast channel (PBCH) signals interspersed within beam reference signals, where the subframe may be a synchronization subframe including one or more synchronization signals. In some cases, the beam reference signals from different antenna ports may be code division multiplexed or frequency division multiplexed over multiple frequency tones. A user equipment (UE) may use the beam reference signals to generate channel estimates for the PBCH signals. In some cases, orthogonal cover codes for code division multiplexed signals may be selected to facilitate generation of channel estimates for PBCH signals transmitted using nearby frequency tones.

Abstract: A base station (anchor node) determines that a channel quality for a UE is less than a threshold quality, and commands one or more base stations to adjust a periodicity of performing a beam sweep with the UE based on whether said channel quality is determined to be less than the threshold quality. A base station (mmW base station) adjusts a periodicity for performing a beam sweep with a UE based on a channel quality associated with the UE, and performs the beam sweep at the adjusted periodicity. The beam sweep is a plurality of transmissions of a beam in a plurality of different transmit spatial directions by one of the base station or the UE and a plurality of scans of the beam in a plurality of different scan spatial directions by an other of the one of the base station or the UE.

The apparatus receives beamforming capability information indicating one of at least a digital, analog, or hybrid beamforming capability, the beamforming capability associated with a millimeter wave base station (mmW-BS). Based on the beamforming capability information, the apparatus scans N transmit beams from the mmW-BS for each of M receive beam directions of the UE, determines one or more preferred scanned beams from among the N transmit beams, and establishes a wireless communication link with the mmW-BS based on the preferred one or more scanned beams.

Abstract: A link based on one radio access technology (RAT) is used to supplement the operation of another RAT. For example, in a user equipment (UE) device that can access both long term evolution (LTE) and millimeter wave (mmW) networks, the UE may use an LTE network to relay information between the UE and the mmW network.
