Abstract:
Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods for communication in accordance with a packet convergence and link control (PCLC) layer are generally described herein. The UE may receive, from a Fifth Generation (5G) eNB, a first group of medium access control (MAC) protocol data units (PDUs) that include PCLC PDUs. In accordance with PCLC sequence numbers (SNs), the UE may reorder the PCLC PDUs and may decipher the PCLC PDUs. The UE may receive, from a legacy eNB, a second group of MAC PDUs that include packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) PDUs encapsulated in radio link control (RLC) PDUs. The UE may reorder the RLC PDUs based on RLC SNs and may decipher the RLC PDUs based on PDCP SNs that are exclusive to the RLC SNs.
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for a device-to-device, D2D, communication enabled user equipment, UE, comprising a processing section to determine, based on a signal received from another UE, a channel condition between the UE and the another UE; the UE to report the determined channel condition to an evolved Node B, eNB. The processing section is to initiate D2D communication based on a communication from the eNB, received in response to the report. Also, an apparatus is provided for a network element, comprising An input to receive a describing a channel condition between a first UE and a second UE; a processor to determine, based on the channel condition, whether or not D2D communication between the first UE and the second UE is to be enabled; and an output to output a result of the determination when the processor determines D2D communication is to be enabled. Related methods are also provided.

Abstract:
Various embodiments may be generally directed to resource allocation techniques for beam forming training. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise logic for an access point (AP), at least a portion of the logic implemented in circuitry coupled to the memory, the logic to identify one or more resources available to support beamforming operations in a time interval, enable the AP to use the one or more resources in the time interval to interact with one or more allowed classes of station (STA) to perform one or more beamforming operations, and generate a frame for wireless transmission comprising a set of indicator bits encoded with an indication of the one or more resources. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for configuration and reporting of proximity detection measurements are disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) is configured to receive and store a PD-RS list from an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) node B (eNB). The PD-RS list includes a radio resource configuration for at least a first proximity discovery reference signal (PD-RS). The UE is configured to measure at least the first PD-RS to determine a signal parameter for the first PD-RS. The UE reports the signal parameter for the first PD-RS to the eNB.
