Abstract:
Embodiments of a Machine Type Communication User Equipment (MTC UE), Next Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The MTC UE may determine a system timing based on reception of a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS). The MTC UE may receive, from the gNB, radio resource control (RRC) signaling that indicates one or more parameters of a configurable resynchronization signal (RSS). The RSS may be for resynchronization, by the MTC UE, after the MTC UE awakens from a power save mode. The parameters of the RSS in the RRC signaling may depend on a target coverage of the MTC UE. The MTC UE may determine an updated system timing based on reception of the RSS.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods of communication are generally described herein. If a higher layer parameter altMCS-Table is configured, and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is assigned by a downlink control information (DCI) format 1, 1B, 1D, 2, 2A, 2B, 2C, or 2D, the UE may, for some subframe/frame configurations, determine a number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) for the transport block as a maximum of: 1; and a floor function applied to a product of a total number of allocated PRBs, a parameter dependent on a special subframe configuration, and a scaling parameter. For other subframe/frame configurations, the UE may determine the number of PRBs for the transport block as a maximum of: 1; and the floor function applied to a product of the total number of allocated PRBs and the scaling parameter.
Abstract:
Technology is discussed for mitigating interference in a wireless communication environment where adjacent cells can have asynchronous Time Division Duplexing configurations. Measurements can be taken at an illuminated evolved Node B (eNodeB) of DownLink (DL) transmissions from a transmit eNodeB. These measurements can be relayed to the transmit eNodeB over a backhaul link and used to make scheduling, transmission power, and/or beam forming decisions to reduce the potential for DL interference. To reduce UpLink (UL) interference, sub-frame specific measurements can be requested by a transmit eNodeB of a User Equipment (UE) that would receive DL transmission from the transmit eNodeB to detect interference from any UEs performing UL transmission to an adjacent eNodeB. The interference measurements can be used by the transmit eNodeB to make scheduling determinations to mitigate the interference.
Abstract:
Embodiments relate to apparatus for wireless interference mitigation within a first User Equipment (UE). The apparatus comprises at least one channel estimator for estimating a first channel transfer function associated with a first received signal designated for the first UE, and for estimating a second channel transfer function associated with a second received, interference, signal. A symbol estimator is responsive to the at least one channel estimator to process at least the first received signal to produce a symbol estimation. A demodulator, which is responsive to the channel estimator, demodulates the symbol estimation to an output representing a received data unit corresponding to the symbol estimation. The demodulator has a processing unit arranged to demodulate the symbol estimation using the first channel transfer function, the second channel transfer function and a respective modulation scheme for at least the first received signal.
Abstract:
An apparatus may include a transceiver operable to receive a downlink message from a base station for a serving cell, the downlink message allocating a set of control parameters. The apparatus may also include a processor circuit communicatively coupled to the transceiver and an uplink power control module operable on the processor circuit to read the set of control parameters, and apply a signal-to-noise-and-interference (SINR) parameter based on the received set of control parameters to determine physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) power to be applied for a PUSCH transmission. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for optimizing wireless communication are provided. An example method may include selecting a first direction at which to direct a first directional antenna beam, and selecting a second direction at which to direct a second directional antenna beam. The method may also include transmitting a first signal in the first direction, and transmitting a second signal in the second direction. The method may include receiving a first response to the first signal from a first user device, and receiving a second response to the second signal from a second user device. The method may include determining a first beam setting for the first user device based at least in part on the first response, and determining a second beam setting for the second user device based at least in part on the second response.
Abstract:
Technology is discussed for supporting wireless communication paths from an antenna array with a vertical directional component. Examples reduce training feedback for increased numbers of communication paths by only reporting on a subset of Reference Signals (RSs) provided for various vertical beam configurations. Additional examples reduce feedback with virtual measurements based on a difference between RS measurements. One such measurement can come from full set of RSs for a reference beam configuration and another from a partial set of RSs for an additional beam configuration. Such virtual measurements can also be based on cross correlation for beamforming weights associated with the two configurations. Several examples of preparing and sending measurement reports consistent with Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards are discussed. The supporting technology also increases diversity and reduces a power differential between spatially multiplexed layers transmitting a common codeword.
Abstract:
Generally, this disclosure provides apparatus and methods for improved control channel monitoring in a New Carrier Type (NCT) wireless network. A User Equipment (UE) device may include a receiver circuit to receive a Multicast/Broadcast over Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) for Physical Multicast Channel (P-MCH) transmission from an evolved Node B (eNB); an MBSFN for P-MCH detection module to detect and extract an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) signal from the MBSFN subframe for P-MCH transmission; and an EPDCCH monitor module to decode and monitor the extracted EPDCCH signal.
Abstract:
Examples include techniques for using a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for downlink transmissions. In some examples information elements (IEs) for either a physical multicast channel (PMCH) or a physical multicast control channel (PMCCH) include information to indicate an MCS for downlink transmission over a PMCH or PMCCH between an evolved Node B (eNB) and user equipment (UE). For these examples, the information in the IEs include indications of whether higher order modulation for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) have or have not been enabled. Both the UE and the eNB may operate in compliance with one or more 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards.
Abstract:
Examples are disclosed for causing one or more subframes to be transmitted from a base station for a wireless network based on beamforming or transmission power characteristics. In some examples, an interference report may be received at a base station via a backhaul communication link. The interference report may indicate measured interference from the base station as measured at one or more wireless devices. The base station may transmit subsequent subframes in a manner to mitigate the previously reported interference. Other examples are described and claimed.
