Abstract: Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB), User Equipment (UE), and methods for flexible duplex communication are generally described herein. The eNB may transmit a downlink control information (DCI) block to the UE during a group of time-division duplex (TDD) sub-frames. The eNB may further receive an uplink control information (UCI) block from the UE during the group of TDD sub-frames. A first candidate flexible duplex format for the TDD sub-frames may include a downlink control portion and an uplink control portion. A second candidate flexible duplex format for the TDD sub-frames may include a downlink control portion and may exclude uplink control portions.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein include devices, methods, and instructions for managing beam interpolation in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications. In one example embodiment, an evolved node B is configured to transmit to a UE using massive MIMO by transmitting multiple beamformed reference signals on multiple transmission beams each associated with a different plurality of antennas. The eNB receives beam interpolation information back from the UE, and then generates a data transmission that is sent to the UE using an interpolated transmission beam from a first and second transmission beam.

Abstract: Technology for decreasing latency for contention based scheduling request (SR) is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can randomly select a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble index for a PRACH transmission. The UE can multiplex the PRACH preamble index together with a SR message containing a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) and a buffer status report (BSR) for the PRACH transmission. The UE can process, for transmission, to an enhanced node B (eNB), the PRACH preamble index multiplexed with the SR message in a subframe #(n) of the PRACH transmission, wherein n is a subframe number.

Abstract: Embodiments of user equipment (UE), an enhanced node B (eNB), and methods of signaling for proximity services and device-to-device (D2D) discovery in an LTE network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the UE receives configuration information for a D2D discovery resource pool of a cell. The configuration information includes an indication that the D2D discovery resource pool has been logically divided into a plurality of sub-discovery resource pools. The UE performs an initial transmission of a discovery signal in a discovery period using a single D2D discovery resource from a first sub-discovery resource pool of the plurality of sub-discovery resource pools. The UE performs a number of additional transmissions of the discovery signal in the discovery period using additional D2D discovery resources from sub-discovery resource pools of the plurality of sub-discovery resource pools other than the first sub-discovery resource pool.

Abstract: A License Assisted Access (LAA) enhanced NodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and communication methods therebetween operating in a Long Term Evolution unlicensed band (LTE-U) are generally described. The eNB may transmit a request to the UE for information regarding a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) over which the UE may be able to communicate. The WLAN information may include an LTE-U channel and time window for reporting. The UE may obtain the WLAN information through communication with an access point (AP). Measurement information of the LTE-U channel may also be obtained by or on behalf of the UE. The UE may transmit the WLAN information to the eNB. The eNB may use the WLAN information or submit the WLAN information to a network entity to perform channel selection, UE grouping or localization, appointing delegate UEs to perform channel sensing or scheduling UEs in a same group or proximity.
