Abstract:
Technology is discussed for supporting the incorporation of a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and/or a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) within in a New Carrier Type (NCT) for a Component Carrier (CC). Guidelines for incorporating the PSS and/or the SSS in the NCT are discovered, together with potential collisions with other signals that can be avoided for various scenarios. In some examples, various guidelines and potential collisions discovered herein, for various scenarios, inform approaches to incorporating the PSS and/or the SSS based on the positioning of the PSS and/or the SSS. In other examples, other signals, such as DeModulation Reference Symbols (DMRS) are reconfigured to allow incorporation of the PSS and the SSS.
Abstract:
A system for updating channel state information may include a base station wirelessly sending a reference signal to a user device. The bases station may receive channel state information based on the reference signal. Then, the bases station may determine a number of transport blocks to enable, a number of layers to use, and an order of modulation for each transport block based on the channel state information. The bases station may then receive subsequent channel state information from the user device using the determined parameters.

Abstract:
A particular kind of component carrier that may be used as a secondary cell in an LTE system is a new type carrier that has reduced or eliminated legacy control signaling such as the omission of CRSs. Alternative techniques are described for performing timing and frequency synchronization in the downlink between an eNB and a UE when CRSs are not present in a component carrier. These techniques involve using either channel state information reference signals or UE-specific reference signals.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and storage media for providing and/or obtaining feedback for data transmissions in an unlicensed shared medium are described. In embodiments, an apparatus may include radio control circuitry to demodulate and decode a data transmission from an evolved node B (eNB). The apparatus may include and processing circuitry, coupled with the radio control circuitry, and the processing circuitry is to receive the data transmission from the radio control circuitry and generate feedback based on the data transmission. The radio control circuitry may also control radio-frequency circuitry to determine whether a physical channel in an unlicensed shared medium is unoccupied, and transmit the feedback to the eNB over the physical channel when the physical channel is unoccupied according to the determination. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Generally, this disclosure provides apparatus and methods for improved control channel monitoring in a New Carrier Type (NCT) wireless network. A User Equipment (UE) device may include a receiver circuit to receive a Multicast/Broadcast over Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) for Physical Multicast Channel (P-MCH) transmission from an evolved Node B (eNB); an MBSFN for P-MCH detection module to detect and extract an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) signal from the MBSFN subframe for P-MCH transmission; and an EPDCCH monitor module to decode and monitor the extracted EPDCCH signal.

Abstract:
Described is an Evolved Node-B (eNB) to communicate with one or more User Equipment (UEs) on a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network operating in an unlicensed spectrum, the eNB comprising hardware processing circuitry including: an antenna; and a transmitter, coupled to the antenna, the transmitter operable to: inhibit transmission of system information to a UE when the spectrum is unlicensed. The transmitter may also be operable to: refrain from transmission of one or more synchronization signals to a UE when a spectrum is unlicensed. The transmitter may also be operable to transmit the one or more synchronization signals in frequencies away from the centers of the six PRBs of the transmission bandwidth. The transmitter may also be operable to: turn off transmitting in the unlicensed spectrum when the eNB is not servicing any UE; and turn on transmitting in the unlicensed spectrum when a UE is discovered.
