Abstract: An improved technique for encoding and decoding of data for group common control channels is provided herein. Generally, the embodiments disclosed herein involve masking the information bits of the group common PDCCH (or group common control channel information) with the common RNTI, without using parity bits, which reduces the power requirements of the transmitter and receiver. In a first embodiment, the information block and the common RNTI can each be encoded using separate encoders, and then the encoded information block can be masked with the encoded common RNTI, and the resulting code symbol can be transmitted to the group of mobile devices. In a second embodiment, an information block can be appended with bits to match a size of the common RNTI, and then be masked by the common RNTI.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a beam reporting and identification system that can use two different types of signals as reference signals when reporting on beam strengths. The user equipment device can send a unified report that reports on each of the different types of reference signals using a unified beam index. In an embodiment, the first type of reference signal can be a user equipment (UE) specific reference signal, such as a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), while the second type of signal used as a reference signal can be a synchronization signal (SS), received as an SS block. The unified index, where SS blocks are grouped into a number of groups, allows for the same number of bits to report on both synchronization signals and CSI-RS signals in the same report.

Abstract: Determining when beam failure of a beam pair link has occurred is provided. Transient obstructions, and other interference effects can cause the failure of a beam pair link which can comprise a transmit beam and a receive beam associated with respective antennas on a transmitter and receiver. Switching to another beam pair link can cause decrease throughput and efficiency however, so the improved mechanism for determining a failure includes taking into consideration the importance of the beam pair link before initiating the beam recovery process. The configurable beam failure protocol defined herein considers the relative importance of the configured beam pair links when declaring the beam pair link a failure. The importance of the beam pair link can be based on the amount of downlink control information in the transmission.

Abstract: Channel state information (CSI) can be transmitted to a network node incrementally to increase network efficiency. The CSI feedback framework can be enhanced by allowing a user equipment (UE) to report multiple sets of CSI feedback, where each set can comprise a rank indicator (RI), a pre-coder matrix indicator (PMI), and a channel quality indicator (CQI). Since a different set may have a different sub-band, the CSI feedback framework can support the sub-band rank, wherein rank data from a wideband and the sub-band can be used by the network.

Abstract: A user equipment can be configured to evaluate a reference signal from a network node and determine channel state information comprising a format indicator, wherein the format indicator comprises a rank indicator and the channel state information spatial resolution type. The user equipment can transmit to the network node the channel state information, which can be decoded by a network node to determine transmission scheduling parameters to be transmitted to the user equipment.

Abstract: Demodulation reference signals (e.g., DM-RSs) are transmitted for a 5G, or other next generation network using an adaptive DM-RS structure. Demodulation reference signal data representative of demodulation reference signals employable to perform channel estimation of data channels is generated the demodulation reference signal data is transmitted, via a channel other than the data channels, to be used for the channel estimation. The adaptive DM-RS structure can be based on a modulation scheme used for data transmission. An orthogonal variable spreading factor code tree can be used when choosing an orthogonal cover code, and resource mapping for DM-RSs can be made unequal based on analysis of antenna ports. Further, a DM-RS with high resource density can be used to compensate for phase noise.

Abstract: A system facilitating compact signaling design for reserved resource configuration via a multi-dimensional bitmap is provided for a wireless communication system. A method comprises: determining a multi-dimensional bitmap (MDB) in time and frequency domains, wherein the time domain is represented by an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbol and the frequency domain is represented by an OFDM subcarrier. The determining comprises: selecting a group of reserved resource allocations of the MDB in which data information is not to be communicated; assigning a first value for the OFDM multiplexed symbol and the OFDM subcarrier according to a location of elements of the group of reserved resource allocations; and assigning, to other portions of the MDB other than the group of reserved resource allocations, a second value distinct from the first value. The method also comprises facilitating, by the device, transmitting the MDB to a mobile device.
