Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for wireless communication, for example for reference signal measurements. An example method, performed by a user equipment, generally includes determining a duration for reference signal measurements of a network entity and beamforming one or more radio frequency chains in one or more directions for the reference signal measurements of the network entity during the duration
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may receive a downlink transmission from at least one beam of a set of beams. The set of beams may be associated with a multi-beam communication between the apparatus and a base station. The apparatus may select a beam, of the set of beams, to report beam related information associated with the at least one beam of the set of beams. The apparatus may report an indication that the beam is a selected beam.
Abstract:
Aspects provide a way for RS in different sub-bands within the same OFDM symbol to have different RS placement designs, e.g., different dependence/independence on cell ID. A base station apparatus transmits a first RS in a first resource set using a first RS placement, wherein the first resource set comprises a first subband of an OFDM symbol. The apparatus also transmits a second RS in a second resource set using a second RS placement, wherein the second resource set comprises a second subband of the OFDM symbol. A UE apparatus identifies a first resource set comprising a first subband in a plurality of subbands of an OFDM symbol transmitted by base station, determines whether a RS tone location utilized with the first subband is dependent upon an identifier of the base station, and receives the RS based on a result of the determining.
Abstract:
An apparatus capable of self-calibration in a low-interference environment is desired. In an aspect, the apparatus may be a user equipment (UE) or a neighboring base station. The device receives, from a base station, a self-calibration notification indicating one or more resources allocated for a self-calibration of the base station. The device performs, in response to the self-calibration notification, at least one of deactivating at least one component of the device based on the one or more allocated resources or adjusting utilization of the one or more allocated resources allocated for the self-calibration of the base station.
Abstract:
An apparatus capable of performing a local operation in a low-interference environment is desired. In an aspect, the apparatus may be a user equipment (UE). The UE transmits a local operation notification to a base station, the local operation notification indicating a local operation that is local to the UE. The UE receives, from the base station, a resource indicator indicating one or more resources available for the local operation. The UE performs the local operation using the one or more resources.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus reduces inference in a received signal. The apparatus receives a signal including transmissions from a plurality of cells. The apparatus determines transmission parameter hypotheses associated with the plurality of cells. Each transmission parameter hypothesis from the transmission parameter hypotheses includes a set of transmission parameters associated with all the cells from the plurality cells. The apparatus selects at least one transmission parameter hypothesis based on a first metric applied to each hypothesis. The apparatus refines transmission parameters associated with at least one cell from the plurality of cells. The refining includes improving an accuracy of the transmission parameters associated with the at least one cell based on a second metric associated with each cell individually.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may perform one or more process that enable smart processing of resource elements from interfering base stations in order to improve cell decoding. The method includes prioritizing resource elements in order to reduce complexity of processing of the interfering resource elements. Some resource elements may be excluded from processing if priority is set to a null value or to a sufficiently low value. Resource elements in a subframe received from an interfering transmitter are grouped into one or more target regions and paired with serving and interfering cells. Each pairing is prioritized and processed in an order based on the priorities assigned to the pairings.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE that acquires information regarding an interfering non-serving cell and uses the information to improve decoding of serving cell signals. The method includes receiving, from a serving evolved Node B (eNB), information that includes one or more transmission characteristics of at least one non-serving cell and performing at least one of interference cancellation, demodulation, or provides an improved channel quality indicator (CQI) based on the received information.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a first transmit receive point (TRP), a downlink control information (DCI) communication, the UE being included in a multi-TRP configuration with the first TRP and a second TRP. The UE may determine information unique to the first TRP. The information unique to the first TRP may be at least one of associated with the DCI communication or included in the DCI communication. The UE may generate a downlink scrambling sequence initialization code, associated with the first TRP, based at least in part on the information unique to the first TRP. The UE may generate a downlink scrambling sequence, associated with the first TRP, based at least in part on the downlink scrambling sequence initialization code associated with the first TRP. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a UE determines QCL information that indicates an association between a spatial parameter and a current transmission configuration, and conveys the determined QCL information to a BS. In another embodiment, a BS transmits a DCI that triggers transmission of a reference signal that includes QCL information that indicates an association between a spatial parameter and a current transmission configuration, whereby any DCI triggering any reference signal that includes any QCL information is configured to trigger a UE to send an express acknowledgment or an implied acknowledgment to that DCI.
