Abstract:
Systems and methods for interlace PUCCH transmission in 5G networks are described. The gNB sends an RRC message to a UE. The RRC message provides one or more PUCCH interlace allocations within a BW. Each PUCCH interlace allocation has a PUCCH format for each PUCCH interlace. Each PUCCH format contains a different PUCCH interlace index. The UE sends a PUCCH interlace in the BWP based on the PUCCH interlace allocation. A PUCCH in the allocated PUCCH interlace has a cyclic shift that is dependent on a resource block number in the allocated PUCCH interlace within the BWP.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5G NR) network may be configured with two or more secondary cells (SCells) of a group of SCells. In these embodiments, the UE may monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for detection of a downlink control information (DCI) format 1_1. The UE may interpret the DCI format 1_1 as indicating SCell dormancy, rather than scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception, if the UE is configured with resourceAllocationType1 and if all bits of a frequency domain resource assignment field in the DCI format 1_1 are equal to 1. For SCell dormancy, the UE may interpret fields of the DCI format 1_1 as a bitmap for SCell dormancy indication and either activate or deactivate a downlink bandwidth part (DL BWP) for an SCell of the group of configured SCells when indicated by the bitmap.
Abstract:
Embodiments of apparatus and methods for signaling for resource allocation and scheduling in 5G-NR integrated access and backhaul are generally described herein. In some embodiments, User Equipment configured for reporting a channel quality indicator (CQI) index in a channel state information (CSI) reference resource assumes a physical resource block (PRB) bundling size of two PRBs to derive the CQI index.
Abstract:
Described is an apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with a fifth-generation Evolved Node-B (gNB) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to process a message comprising an indicator to indicate a number of contention based physical random access channel (PRACH) preambles within a PRACH occasion per Synchronization Signal Block (SSB). The second circuitry may be operable to generate a first PRACH occasion, based on the indicator.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe apparatuses, systems, and methods for initialization of pseudo noise (PN) sequences for reference signals and data scrambling. Some embodiments may be to initialize the first M-sequence of the PN sequence with a fixed value; and initialize the second M-sequence of the PN sequence with a compressed value. Some embodiments may be to initialize the first M-sequence of the PN sequence with a fixed value; initialize the second M-sequence of the PN sequence with a part of the initialization parameters; and shift the PN sequence by another part of the initialization parameters. Some embodiments may be to initialize the first M-sequence of the PN sequence with a part of the initialization parameters; and initialize the second M-sequence of the PN sequence with another part of the initialization parameters. The embodiments may lead to a more efficient hardware design.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for acknowledgement (ACK) transmission in a WLAN. A station receives a plurality of data frames from a plurality of other stations and then transmits an ACK for the plurality of data frames to the plurality of stations. The ACK is a multi-user (MU) block ACK frame which includes a plurality of block ACKs for the plurality of stations. One block ACK includes at least one ACK for at least one data frame that is received from one station.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting data in a wireless local area network is provided. The method includes the steps of: generating a data unit including a MAC (Medium Access Control) header and MSDU (MAC Service Data Unit), generating an encoded data unit by encoding the data unit, generating one or more spatial blocks by dividing the encoded data unit, dividing each of the one or more spatial block into a first block and a second block, generating a first interleaved block and a second interleaved block by interleaving the first block and the second block respectively, generating a first mapped sequence by mapping the first interleaved block into signal constellation, generating a second mapped sequence by mapping the second interleaved block into signal constellation, generating the transmission signal by performing IDFT (Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform) to the first mapped sequence and the second mapped sequence; and transmitting the transmission signal.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) is provide. The method includes generating a PPDU frame comprising a signal field and a data field and transmitting the PPDU frame, in which a transmission bandwidth for transmitting the signal field is fixed, but a transmission bandwidth for transmitting the data field is variable.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting modulation and coding scheme (MCS) feedback (MFB) in a wireless local area network system is provided. The method is performed by a first station and includes receiving, from a second station, a physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU), estimating a MFB based on the PPDU and transmitting, to the second station, feedback information including a MFB field and a MFB type field. The MFB field includes the MFB and the MFB type field indicates whether or not the MFB is in response to a MFB request (MRQ) of the second station.
Abstract:
A method of receiving a multi-user packet by a receiver in a wireless local area network system. The method includes: receiving a first group identifier (ID) management request message from a transmitter, wherein the group ID management request message includes information about at least one group ID which is intended to be allocated to the receiver for multi user-multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) transmission, and the information about the at least one group ID indicates each group ID and a spatial stream set position for the each group ID; transmitting a first group ID management response message to the transmitter, wherein the group ID management response message indicates admission or adjustment for allocation of the at least one group ID; and receiving at least one multi-user packet from the transmitter, wherein the multi-user packet is transmitted using MU-MIMO transmission.
