Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a conventional physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is transmitted in a first region of a physical downlink control channel structure utilized by a remote radio head that has been assigned a cell identifier that is common to one or more other remote radio heads within the cell, and an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) is transmitted in a second region of the physical downlink control channel structure.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a mobile device transmitter and methods for transmitting signals in different signal dimensions are generally disclosed herein. The mobile device transmitter comprises a mapper to map a block of two or more input modulation symbols to different signal dimensions comprising two or more spatial dimensions, and linear transform circuitry to perform a linear transform on the block of mapped input modulation symbols to generate a block of preceded complex-valued output symbols such that each output symbol carries some information of more than one input modulation symbol. The mobile device also comprises transmitter circuitry to generate time-domain signals from the blocks of precoded complex-valued output symbols for each of the spatial dimensions for transmission using the two or more antennas. The precoded complex-valued output symbols are mapped to different signal dimensions comprising at least different frequency dimensions prior to transmission.
Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a midamble for a downlink subframe is generated by rotating an order of midamble tones per antenna between two or more subbands. A Golay sequence may be utilized in the modulation of one or more subcarriers of the midamble via a reuse-3 arrangement. Alternatively, a reuse-1 arrangement may be applied to the midamble.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for determining a channel quality indicator (CQI) to be used in link adaptation for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communications. In one embodiment of the invention, the CQI is based on a set of capacity values for subcarrier components in a received OFDM signal. In another embodiment, a minimum value from a running average of the set of capacity values is used to determine the CQI.
Abstract:
In a multicarrier transmitter that transmits two or more spatial data streams, a bit distributor assigns encoded bits to the spatial data streams based on bit-loading capabilities of the streams and in a manner to intermix the bits among the spatial streams.
Abstract:
In a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multicarrier communication system, a mobile station sends a quantized time-domain representation of the channel transfer function to a base station for use by the base station in generating beamforming coefficients for use in subsequent transmissions to the mobile station. In some embodiments, the quantized time-domain representation of the channel transfer function may be generated from selected most significant rays of an initial estimated sampled channel impulse response. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
A multicarrier receiver generates a quantized transmit beamformer matrix ({tilde over (V)}) for each subcarrier of a multicarrier communication channel for use by a multicarrier transmitting station. The multicarrier receiver applies a corrected receiver beamformer matrix (ŨH) to received subcarriers signals generated by signals received from the transmitting station.

Abstract:
A data rate is selected for subcarriers of each frequency and spatial channel of a slowly varying frequency selective multicarrier channel to provide uniform bit loading (UBL) for faster link adaptation. Signal to noise ratios (SNRs) for subcarriers of the multicarrier communication channel may be calculated from channel state information and a transmit power level. A throughput may be estimated for the data rates from the SNRs and one of the data rates may be selected based on the estimated throughputs.
Abstract:
An apparatus and system to compensate for phase noise in a 5G or 6G DFT-S-OFDM signal are described. An access port (AP)-specific orthogonal cover code (OCC) is applied to phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) symbols in each of a plurality of PTRS groups. The PTRS group are inserted between data symbols to form a data vector prior to perform transform precoding, on the data vector and transmission to a UE. The UE extracts the PTRS symbols from different PTRS APs using the OCC specific to each AP. After extraction, the phase noise for each PTRS group is estimated and used to compensate the data symbols associated with the PTRS group.
