摘要:
Embodiments described herein relate generally to a device that is to transmit signals using a control channel. The device may be, for example, a user equipment or low-powered radio access node. Before transmitting the signal, the transmitting device may modify symbols associated with the signal. For example, the transmitting device may generate a scrambling sequence and modulate the symbols associated with the signal with the scrambling sequence. In another example, the transmitting device may apply a shifting pattern or hopping pattern to the sequence indices associated with sequences for symbols to be included in the signal. The applied pattern may change one or more sequence indices associated with one or more symbol indices associated with the signal. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

An apparatus and system are described for power control transmission for multiple physical random access channel (PRACH) transmissions. The systems include repetition level ramping for the PRACH transmissions, as well as power control mechanisms for PRACH transmissions that use identical transmission (Tx) beams and that use different Tx beams. The number of repetition attempts for a PRACH transmission increases when a random access response (RAR) is not received or does not pass contention resolution for a maximum number of attempts. A PRACH transmission within one or more transmission occasions is cancelled if the power exceeds a maximum power for PRACH transmissions.

Systems for providing coverage enhancement for Msg 3 PUSCH and PUCCH carrying the HARQ-ACK for Msg4 of PRACH initial access are described. The gNB provides a 2-bit aggregation factor for transmission of the Msg3 PUSCH in an RAR UL grant field. The PUSCH frequency resource allocation field is limited to 12 bits so that the RAR has an overall number of bits that is the same as an RAR that does not contain the aggregation factor. A default PUSCH TDRA table includes a field to indicate a repetition level for Msg3 PUSCH transmission. For retransmissions, fields in DCI format 0_0 are repurposed to indicate an aggregation factor. Inter-slot frequency hopping may be configured by higher layers. Different PRACH resources are used to indicate UE coverage status.

The disclosure describes mechanisms for reliability enhancement on control channel and data channel and mechanisms in URLLC. An apparatus of a RAN node for URLLC includes baseband circuitry to configure at least one DCI for scheduling transmission of at least one PDSCH content having same information. For each DCI, the baseband circuitry determines a CORESET for transmitting the DCI. The disclosure further describes mechanisms for the support of low latency transmission in URLLC. To improve peak data rate and spectrum efficiency in FDD system, the RAN node configures a DCI for scheduling data transmission using blank resources of a self-contained slot structure. Further, CBG-based transmission with separate HARQ-ACK feedback is provided to configure a DCI for scheduling data transmission of a TB and to divide the TB into multiple CBGs, and to configure uplink control data to carry separate HARQ feedback for the CBGs.

Devices and methods of enhanced coverage (EC) paging are generally described. An evolved Node-B (eNB) may transmit multiple EC paging messages to user equipment (UE) over at least one paging cycle. Each EC paging message may contain the same paging information. The UE may combine the individual EC paging messages to achieve a predetermined link budget and subsequently may decode the EC combined paging message to determine whether the combined paging message is directed to the UE. The EC paging messages may contain information for more than one UE and a legacy P-RNTI or a specific P-RNTI for EC mode UEs. The EC paging messages may be transmitted in legacy occasions over several paging cycles or non-legacy paging occasions over one or more paging cycles. The EC paging messages may be transmitted in continuous or non-continuous subframes in a particular paging cycle.

Technology is discussed for self-optimization approaches within wireless networks to optimize networks for energy efficiency, load capacity, and/or mobility, together with new, supporting channel state measurements and handover techniques. New, Channel State Information-Reference Signals (CSI-RSs) for yet-to-be-configured Cell-IDentifications (Cell-IDs) can be used to determine whether adjacent transmission cells can provide coverage for transmission cells that can be switched off for energy efficiency during formation of a Single Frequency Network (SFN). New approaches are also discussed to facilitate mobility within such a network. The new CSI-RSs and mobility approaches can also be used to split up such a SFN when changing load demands so require. Additionally, such new approaches can be used to create a SFN with a common Cell-ID where high mobility is required, such as near a roadway, and to break it up where high capacity is required, such as during a period of traffic congestion.
摘要:
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a codebook for wireless transmissions may be generated by dividing a codebook into a fixed set of codewords and an adaptive set of codewords. The adaptive set of codewords may be scaled to cluster together and then rotated to be centered or nearly centered about a target. The adaptive set of codewords may then be merged with the fixed set of codewords to provide a hybrid codebook. A codeword from the hybrid codebook may be selected for precoding a transmission to provide a minimum, or nearly minimum, quantization error.

Technology for reconfiguring an uplink-downlink (UL-DL) time-division duplexing (TDD) configuration timing is disclosed. In an example, a user equipment (UE) for reconfiguring an uplink-downlink (UL-DL) time-division duplexing (TDD) configuration timing can have computer circuitry configured to: Decode a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for downlink control information (DCI) including a timing indication field (TIF); and reconfigure a channel timing for a semi-static UL-DL TDD configuration using the TIF. The channel timing can include a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduling timing, or a PUSCH HARQ timing.

An apparatus and method for managing interference to facilitate allocation of a dynamic uplink and downlink configuration are disclosed herein. Determining whether a first cell causes interference less than a pre-determined threshold level to one or more neighboring cells or whether flexible subframes of radio frames associated with the one or more neighboring cells operate as downlink subframes. In response to the determining condition being met, allocating a first flexible subframe of a first radio frame associated with the first cell to operate as a downlink subframe at normal transmit power level. In response to the determining condition not being met, allocating the first flexible subframe of the first radio frame associated with the first cell as one of a downlink subframe operating in a reduced transmit power level or as an uplink subframe.

An apparatus and system to permit a UE idle or inactive mode to operate as an URLLC initiating device operating in a shared spectrum in a PRACH procedure are described. The UE receives a gNB control signal that contains an indication that the UE is able to operate as an initiating device and in response transmits a physical random access channel (PRACH) message within a Fixed Frame Period (FFP) of the UE. Transmission of the PRACH message is contingent on non-overlap of the PRACH message transmission with the idle period of a gNB FFP.
