Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for uplink panel selection with power saving. In some embodiments, user equipment (UE) may experience a positional change. In response, the UE may deactivate a first communication panel to save power and activate a second communication panel. The UE may then transmit a status message to a communication node indicating the activation and/or deactivation. The node may then register this activation and/or deactivation. In some embodiments, the node may monitor uplink slots from the first and second communication panel to identify the activation and deactivation. For example, if the node detects an absence of an uplink signal within a slot threshold, the node may identify the panel as being deactivated. The node may establishing communications with another panel based on a detected signal and/or the status message.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and one or more computer-readable media (CRM) storing instructions for the triggering of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) by user equipment (UE) in a wireless cellular network. The UE measures a downlink reference signal. The UE also determines a condition for triggering a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) is satisfied based on the downlink reference signal. Then, the UE transmits a request for a base station of the wireless cellular network to provide the CSI-RS to the UE based on the condition being satisfied.

Abstract: This disclosure proposes to use multiple power control loops in the uplink. Each power control loop may be associated with a respective antenna beam transmitted from an antenna array of the electronic device (e.g. UE) in the uplink. For example, a beam (or uplink signal) may be associated with 1, 2 or even more MIMO layer. Hence, in this latter case, each power control loop may be associated with a respective set of one or more MIMO layers. This concept is application to open-loop, closed-loop power control or both.

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.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode physical broadcast channel (PBCH) information received from a base station (BS). The decoded PBCH information includes a scrambled PBCH payload and an unscrambled bit sequence. A scrambling sequence is generated based on time information signaling within the unscrambled bit sequence. The scrambled PBCH payload is de-scrambled using the scrambling sequence, to obtain master information block (MIB) information. System information block (SIB) information is decoded based on the MIB information. The decoded PBCH information includes cyclic redundancy check (CRC) information. The scrambled PBCH payload and the unscrambled bit sequence can be verified based on the CRC information. The time information signaling includes one or more bits of a system frame number (SFN).
