    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for narrowband reference signals transmission. A base station is configured to: generate downlink transmissions for unlicensed Internet of things (U-IoT) communication, the downlink transmissions to include an anchor segment on a first plurality of subframes and a data segment on a second plurality of subframes, wherein the anchor segment includes a narrowband reference signal (NRS) configured to be transmitted at a first transmit power by the base station, to facilitate time or frequency tracking and cause transmission of the downlink frame for the U-IoT communication. And a user equipment is configured to receive the NRSs transmitted by the base station and process transmissions based on reception of the NRSs.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes frame structure with downlink/uplink subframe configuration and channel hopping scheme for unlicensed narrowband Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems. An apparatus operable for unlicensed narrowband transmission to support IoT service is disclosed. The apparatus includes baseband circuitry to select a transmission channel within an unlicensed narrow band for downlink transmission of a discovery reference signal (DRS), and for channel hopping, to select, according to the DRS, a communication channel within the unlicensed narrow band for downlink data and uplink data. The DRS includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) and physical broadcast channel (PBCH) content. The baseband circuitry is further to demodulate a received signal received via radio frequency (RF) circuitry through the communication channel over an uplink frame, and to modulate a transmitting signal to be transmitted via the RF circuitry through the communication channel over a downlink frame.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer programs for fast, direct SCell activation are disclosed. In one aspect, a method can include receiving, by a UE, an RRC command that causes the UE to be configured to detect a TRS transmission of a plurality of TRS transmission bursts broadcast by an access node, disregarding, by the UE, one or more TRS transmission of the plurality of TRS transmission bursts that are received, by the UE, during processing of the received RRC command, and after processing, by the UE, of the received RRC command, decoding a TRS transmission of the plurality of TRS bursts that is received subsequent to completion of processing of the received RRC command for automatic gain control (AGC).

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to perform channel estimation. The UE operates in a current channel estimation mode comprising either one of a first mode or a second mode, wherein the first mode comprises receiving first reference signals (RS) having a first RS overhead and wherein the second mode comprises receiving second reference signals (RS) having a second RS overhead, receives a network indication to switch from the current channel estimation mode to a new channel estimation mode comprising the other one of the first mode or second mode, transmits an acknowledgment to the network that the network indication was received and switches from the current channel estimation mode to the new channel estimation mode in accordance with the network indication.

    Abstract: A base station of a network configures a first search space having a first search space identification (SearchSpaceId) in a special cell (SpCell) and a second search space having a second search space identification (SearchSpaceId) in a secondary cell (SCell) for monitoring control signaling that schedules operations on the SpCell. The base station transmits a radio resource control (RRC) configuration to a user equipment (UE) including the first SSID and the second SSID, wherein the RRC configuration configures the UE to monitor the first search space having the first SSID for scheduling of a first type of control signaling and the second search space having the second SSID for scheduling of a second type of control signaling.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to determine that half-duplex frequency division duplex (HD-FDD) is enabled by a network with which the UE is communicating, identify a collision between a cell-specific downlink reception and a cell-specific uplink transmission and implement a HD-FDD collision handling technique. A UE may also be configured to determine that half-duplex frequency division duplex (HD-FDD) is enabled by a network with which the UE is communicating, perform a first cell-specific uplink transmission at a first time and perform a first cell-specific downlink reception at a second time, wherein a guard period represents a time duration between the first time and the second time during which the UE is not to perform a second different cell-specific uplink transmission or a second different cell-specific downlink reception.
