Abstract:
An apparatus for use in a UE includes processing circuitry coupled to a memory. To configure the UE for Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD)-based 5G-NR positioning. The processing circuitry is to determine a first PRS BW associated with a first PRS received from a first gNB associated with a first cell. A second PRS BW is determined, which is associated with a second PRS received from a second gNB of a second cell. An RSTD report resolution is determined based on the first PRS BW and the second PRS BW. A receive (Rx) timing difference between the first cell and the second cell is measured based on reception times of the first PRS and the second PRS. The measured Rx timing difference is mapped into an RSTD report for transmission to the first gNB, based on the RSTD report resolution.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein provide techniques and requirements for radio resource management (RRM) measurements. For example, embodiments include techniques and requirements associated with: channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) based inter-frequency RRM measurements when the CSI-RS bandwidth and the active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) are partially overlapped; adaptive RRM CSI-RS configuration and DL gap allocation by user equipment (UE) capability indication; and/or neighboring cell RRM CSI-RS measurement requirements when serving cell RRM CSI-RS is not configured. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
User equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for active bandwidth part (BWP) switching, the processing circuitry is to decode RRC signaling configuring a plurality of BWPs for the UE. The RRC signaling further includes an indicator for an initial BWP of the plurality of BWPs for initial use by the UE as an active BWP. DCI received on a PDCCH is decoded, which includes a BWP indicator for switching the active BWP from the initial BWP to another BWP of the plurality of BWPs. RF and baseband parameters to switch the active BWP from the initial BWP to the another BWP are reconfigured. Reconfiguring the RF and baseband parameters cause an interruption of one or more slots of a serving cell of the UE. A starting time of the interruption is within a time duration of a BWP switching delay supported by the UE.
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for use in a User Equipment, UE, comprising an input to receive an information element, IE, during a device-to-device, D2D, communication session with another UE, the IE indicating whether or not the UE is to send a measurement report; a processing section to determine based on the indication; and an output to control transmission by the UE, the processing section being arranged to suppress participation in measurement reporting when it is determined that a measurement report is not to be sent. A related apparatus is provided for use in an evolved Node B, eNB, and related methods are also provided.
Abstract:
Technology to dynamically alter hybrid automatic retransmission re-quest (HARQ) mapping for carrier aggregation (CA) is disclosed. In an example, a user equipment (UE) operable to dynamically alter hybrid automatic retransmission re-quest (HARQ) mapping for carrier aggregation (CA) can include computer circuitry configured to: Determine a secondary HARQ bundling window size for a secondary cell (SCell), when a primary HARQ bundling window size for a primary cell (PCell) is zero; determine a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource for transmission of a HARQ-ACKnowledge (ACK) feedback using the secondary HARQ bundling window size; and transmit the HARQ-ACK feedback in the PUCCH resource.
Abstract:
Technology to support Hybrid Automatic Retransmission re-Quest (HARQ) for Carrier Aggregation (CA) is disclosed. For example, a device, at a processor residing on a User Equipment (UE), includes a sizing module and a window module. The sizing module can be configured to determine a first size of a first bundling window for a first Component Carrier (CC) and a second size of a second bundling window for a second CC. The window module can be configured to: generate a first virtual window comprising a selected number of DownLink (DL) sub-frames in the first bundling window that are added to DL sub-frames in the second bundling window; and generate a second virtual window comprising remaining DL sub-frames from the first bundling window that are not added to the first virtual window. The selected number of DL sub-frames can be proportional to a difference between the first size and the second size.
