Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for relaying a packet are provided. The apparatus receives at least one packet and reduces a degree of the at least one packet. The apparatus further processes the at least one packet based on the reduced degree, generates a combined packet by combining the at least one processed packet with at least one other processed packet based on the reduced degree and a weight of each of the processed packets, and transmits the combined packet.
Abstract:
In certain scenarios, resource preemption may occur. A user equipment (UE) is configured to monitor for a preemption indication based on a specific downlink configuration. This configuration provides information about whether preemption is identified within a data space in terms of resource blocks. The UE receives data transmissions from a base station at different times and a preemption indication in a group common physical downlink control channel. Based on this preemption indication and the downlink configuration, the UE determines if a portion of the shared downlink resources occupied by the initial data is preempted from use. If the resources are not preempted, the UE proceeds to decode the initial data.
Abstract:
Base stations of neighbor cells can coordinate with each other in allocating grant-free uplink (GUL) resources for a device-to-device (D2D) connection or channel between user equipments (UEs) across the neighbor cells. The base stations coordinate to determine a condition conducive to D2D communication between the UEs. If the condition exists, the base stations coordinate to allocate network resources for D2D communication between the UEs, and establish a D2D connection between the UEs using the allocated network resources for D2D communication.
Abstract:
Various aspects are described for schemes that address the potential puncturing of important reference signals (RSs) for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) applications, such as demodulation reference signal (DMRS), channel state information reference signal (CSIRS), tracking reference signal, and general reference signal. The schemes can be used for recovery of eMBB's RS puncturing from dynamic multiplexing of ultra-reliable-low-latency communications (URLLC) and eMBB. The schemes include a block-based scheme and an over-provisioning scheme. The schemes modify an existing RS pattern before puncturing occurs in response to a presence of the URLLC traffic. In addition, there can be an option not to use (e.g., disable) time-domain orthogonal cover code (TD-OCC) for the RSs.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One method may include an eNB predetermining a plurality of bandwidth parts to monitor based on resource reservation information received from at least one base station, and transmitting information indicative of the predetermined bandwidth parts in a radio resource control (RRC) message. In some cases, a base station may transmit information indicative of predetermined bandwidth parts including a monitoring schedule to monitor either the first bandwidth part or the second bandwidth part in a timeslot of a set of timeslots. Another method may include receiving a predetermined monitoring schedule from a base station, and selecting a plurality of bandwidth parts to monitor on a physical downlink control channel based on the received schedule.
Abstract:
A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for wireless communication at a UE. The apparatus attempts to receive a downlink transmission from a base station and determines to transmit a NACK to the base station for the downlink transmission. The UE transmits the NACK to the base station in a common resource in an uplink control channel, wherein the common resource is common to multiple UEs communicating with the base station. The UE may also transmit the NACK using a resource granted to the UE in the uplink control channel. Thus, the transmission of the NACK in the common resource may comprise a repetition of the NACK transmitted using the resource granted to the UE. The common resource may comprise a Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) resource. Thus, the UE may apply a NOMA sequence to the NACK prior to transmission of the NACK in the common resource.
Abstract:
Various types of communication may switch from an unlicensed spectrum to a licensed spectrum. MiCr communication may be synchronized based on transmission time intervals (TTIs), which may improve the duration required to switch between bands. A MiCr system may transmit a signal to temporarily suspend other traffic in a licensed band so that MiCr communication may occur. For example, an apparatus may be configured to determine synchronization between a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT based on transmission time intervals associated with the first RAT and transmission time intervals associated with the second RAT, switch from the first RAT to the second RAT after the determined synchronization between the first RAT the second RAT; and transmit, during a TTI associated with the second RAT, a first packet using the second RAT based on the switch from the first RAT to the second RAT.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a transmission reception point (TRP) apparatus of a Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) network, determines a periodicity of periodic traffic between the TRP apparatus and a user equipment (UE), and schedules a Channel State Information (CSI) process in advance of a traffic window for a next instance of the periodic traffic in accordance with the determined periodicity. In another embodiment, the UE of the CoMP network performs the CSI process in advance of the traffic window for the next instance of periodic traffic between the UE and the TRP apparatus, the CSI process being scheduled in accordance with the determined periodicity of the periodic traffic.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a plurality of communications from a corresponding plurality of transmission/reception points (TRPs) included in a coordinated multipoint network. At least two communications, of the plurality of communications, may have different redundancy versions from a common codebook, and may be received in a same transmission time interval (TTI). The UE may decode the plurality of communications using joint decoding. Numerous other aspects are provided.
