    摘要: The present disclosure provides for the trigger of a beam refinement reference signal (BRRS) message. Triggering a BRRS message can include determining that a measured quality of a transmit and receive (Tx-Rx) beam pair is below the first value of the first quality threshold, the Tx-Rx beam pair corresponding to a current transmit (Tx) beam from an evolved node B (eNodeB) and the current receive (Rx) beam at the user equipment (UE), encoding a message for the eNodeB based on the determination that the quality of the Tx-Rx beam pair is below the quality threshold, wherein the message comprises a request for one or more BRRS, and processing the one or more BRRS to select a different Rx beam at the UE than the current Rx beam.

    摘要: Techniques for transmit power control calculation by user equipments (UEs) are discussed. An example apparatus employable by a UE comprises a processor configured to: configure, for each active link of a set of active links, a distinct set of power control parameters, wherein each active link comprises a distinct combination of a UE beam of a set of UE beams and a transmission/reception point (TRP) beam of a set of TRP beams; process an uplink (UL) grant received via a control channel that indicates a first active link of the set of active links, wherein the first active link comprises a first UE beam and a first TRP beam; calculate a first transmit power based at least in part on the distinct set of power control parameters configured for the first active link; and output UL data for transmission via the first UE beam at the first transmit power.

    摘要: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for beam management is disclosed. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI), wherein the TCI is configured for a control channel and a data channel for all bandwidth parts (BWPs) of the UE or all component carriers (CCs) of the UE. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a synchronization signal block (SSB) or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for beam management with a repetition parameter set to “ON” transmitted in one BWP or one CC in a first set of symbols. The UE can be configured to identify, at the UE, a scheduling restriction for the first set of symbols for the control channel and the data channel, wherein the scheduling restriction indicates that downlink transmission in the first set of symbols is not expected.

    摘要: Devices and methods of receiving a PDCCH-less xSIB are generally described. A UE receive a xPBCH that occurs in a 0th or a 25th subframe and an ePBCH in an ePBCH transmission block. The ePBCH has the xSIB and is received on different Tx beams. The ePBCH spans consecutive symbols on the same subcarrier and with the same ePBCH symbol. The frame number, subframe number and symbol number of the ePBCH is dependent on a subframe number and symbol number of the xPBCH. The number of beams received for a particular symbol is dependent on a total number of beams, a beam sweeping time for the beams and a transmission periodicity of the xPBCH and ePBCH. The UE also uses different OCCs to demodulate a DMRS from different APs, in a same PRB as the ePBCH.
