    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: In providing feedback to an eNB in an LTE network for downlink scheduling and link adaptation, a UE issues a channel state information (CSI) report that includes a channel quality index (CQI). The reported CQI should include all UE receiver processing capabilities, including NAICS (network assisted interference cancellation and suppression) capability to cancel and suppress interference. Described are measures that may be taken to provide more accurate reporting of CSI by a terminal with NAICS capability.
