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.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) network are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a media access control Layer (MAC) control element (CE) (MAC CE) may activate a spatial relation info for a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource for two or more indicated component carriers (CCs). The spatial relation info for the SRS resource for the two or more indicated CCs may be applied in response to the activation. The SRS resource may be transmitted in the two or more indicated CCs with a same spatial transmission filter that is used for another reference signal configured in the spatial relation info when the UE is configured with one or more SRS resource configurations and when the spatial relation info is activated.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Next Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The gNB may encode multiple candidate code-block groups to be available for a transmission in unlicensed spectrum, wherein one of the candidate code-block groups is to be transmitted based on a listen-before-talk (LBT) process. Each of the candidate code-block groups may be mapped to a different subset of channels in the unlicensed spectrum. The gNB may determine, based on one or more channel measurements, one or more of the channels that are available for the transmission. The gNB may select, as the candidate code-block group to be transmitted, a candidate code-block group for which the subset of the channels that is mapped to the selected candidate code-block group is included in the one or more channels that are available for the transmission.
Abstract:
Described is an apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with an Evolved Node-B (eNB) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to process a Downlink (DL) transmission carrying one or more Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PT-RSes). The second circuitry may be operable to generate an Uplink (UL) transmission carrying a Layer Indicator (LI) based at least on a number of PT-RS Antenna Ports (APs) associated with the PT-RSes.
