Abstract:
Embodiments herein describe apparatuses, systems, and methods for signaling to support downlink coordinated multipoint (CoMP) communications with a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network. In embodiments, the UE may be configured with a plurality of channel state information (CSI) processes (e.g., via radio resource control (RRC) signaling) to use for providing CSI feedback to an evolved Node B (eNB) to support downlink CoMP communications. The UE may be configured with a plurality of sets of CSI processes. The UE may further receive a downlink control information (DCI) message from the eNB that indicates one of the configured sets of CSI processes on which the UE is to provide CSI feedback to the UE. The UE may generate the CSI feedback for the indicated set of CSI processes, and transmit the CSI feedback to the eNB in a CSI report.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe devices, methods, computer-readable media and systems configurations for management and/or support of multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service in a wireless communications network. An evolved Node B (eNB) may transmit MBMS assistance information to a user equipment (UE). The MBMS assistance information may identify a carrier by which one or more upcoming MBMS services are to be provided and an indicator of a carrier selection mode to be used by the UE. The UE may transmit an MBMS interest indication message including information related to one or more targeted MBMS services which the UE wants to receive.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described related to interference averaging to generate feedback information and interference averaging to demodulate receives signals. In embodiments, an evolved Node B (eNB) may transmit interference averaging information to a user equipment (UE) including a time domain averaging indicator indicating a time domain averaging window to be used by the UE for averaging interference measurements in a time domain or a frequency domain averaging indicator to indicate a frequency domain averaging window to be used by the UE for averaging interference measurements in a frequency domain. Additionally, or alternatively, the eNB may transmit an interference resource group (IRG) indicator to the UE to indicate an IRG over which the UE is to perform interference averaging to facilitate demodulation of signals received by the UE from the eNB.
Abstract:
Technology for periodic channel state information (CSI) reporting using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is disclosed. One method can include a user equipment (UE) generating a CSI report with a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) first reporting type and a CSI report with a PUCCH second reporting type; and dropping a CSI report with the PUCCH first reporting type of a serving cell when the CSI report with the PUCCH first reporting type has a collision with the CSI report with PUCCH second reporting type of the serving cell. The PUCCH first reporting type can have a lower priority level than the PUCCH second reporting type.

Abstract:
Technology for periodic channel state information (CSI) reporting in a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) scenario is disclosed. One method can include a user equipment (UE) generating a plurality of CSI reports for transmission in a subframe for a plurality of CSI processes. Each CSI report can correspond to a CSI process with a CSIProcessIndex. The UE can drop CSI reports corresponding to CSI processes except a CSI process with a lowest CSIProcessIndex. The UE can transmit at least one CSI report for the CSI process to an evolved Node B (eNB).

Abstract:
A system and method for configuring component carriers in carrier aggregation is disclosed. The method comprises communicating a carrier aggregation capability for a selected UE to an enhanced Node B (eNode B) configured to provide service for a plurality of UEs. A plurality of component carriers at the eNode B can be configured for the selected UE based on the carrier aggregation capability of the selected UE. A component carrier configuration message is broadcast from the eNode B containing component carrier configuration information that is common to the plurality of UEs. Specific configuration information that is specific to the selected UE is communicated using dedicated communication signaling. Selected configured component carriers are then activated by the eNode B for the selected UE. Activation can be based on the UE's quality of service needs, bandwidth needs, and strength of signal for the component carriers.
