    摘要: Embodiments of enabling a secondary cell in a massive MIMO system are generally described herein. An example apparatus of UE may include memory and processing circuitry to configure a MIMO transceiver to establish primary cell transmit and receive channels for communication with an eNodeB, and to receive a secondary cell addition signal that includes a preamble index for a secondary cell. The processing circuitry further configures the MIMO transceiver to receive beam reference signals (BRS), and select one of the BRS from the eNodeB as a secondary cell transmit channel for the secondary cell based on detected BRS receive power. The processing circuitry further configures the MIMO transceiver to provide information for the selected BRS, and provide xPRACH transmissions that include a transmit index to the eNodeB. The processing circuitry further configures the MIMO transceiver to receive selection of one of the xPRACH transmissions as a secondary cell receive channel.

    摘要: A communication system includes a radio base station configured to transmit and receive signals using digital beamforming. The system includes a plurality of wireless communication devices configured to communicate with the radio base station. The wireless communication device includes a digital beamforming module configured to generate digitally pre-coded spatial streams. A pre-coding matrix is applied to a plurality of spatial streams to generate the digitally pre-coded spatial streams. The communication device includes a plurality of analog beamforming modules configured to measure signal and channel quality metrics from received packets and to calculate gain and phase adjustment values. The analog beamforming modules adjust the gain and phase of the digitally pre-coded spatial streams for analog beamforming. The communication device includes a plurality of antenna arrays configured to transmit the spatial streams.

    摘要: A system facilitating dynamic layer mapping with multiple downlink control channels wireless communication system is provided herein. In one example, a method, comprises: determining, by a BS device, for a selected mobile device, a type of downlink control channel configuration to transmit to a mobile device; and in response to determining to transmit multiple downlink control channels as the type of downlink control channel configuration, identifying a layer to couple to the downlink control channel configuration. Determining the type of downlink control channel configuration to transmit can comprise: determining to transmit multiple downlink control channels if a rank is higher than a defined value; and determining to transmit a single control channel in lieu of transmitting the multiple control channels if a rank is less than or equal to the defined value. The method can also include scheduling the layer for transmission to the mobile device.
