Abstract:
Technology to achieve uplink synchronization with a mmWave enhanced Node B (eNB) is disclosed. In an example, a user equipment (UE) can include circuitry configured to: receive selected random access (RA) parameters from an anchor eNB for uplink synchronization; identify a transmission direction for communication with the mmWave eNB based on a downlink synchronization of the UE with the mmWave eNB; and communicate a random access channel (RACH) transmission in the identified transmission direction for uplink synchronization of time, frequency, and beam direction with the mmWave eNB.
Abstract:
Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to perform device-to-device (D2D) communication is disclosed. The UE can select a cyclic shift (nCS) that is randomly selected from a set of cyclic shifts. The set of cyclic shifts can include cyclic shift values of {0, 3, 6, 9}. The UE can apply the selected cyclic shift to all demodulation reference signals (DM-RSs) in a subframe. Each of the DM-RSs can be associated with a D2D transmission from the UE. The UE can encode the DM-RSs for transmission from the UE.
Abstract:
Systems and methods disclosed herein describe a centralized-processing cloud-based RAN (C-RAN or cloud-RAN) architecture that offers reduced front-haul data-rate requirements compared to common-public-radio-interface (CPRI) based C-RAN architectures. Base-band physical-layer processing can be divided between a BBU Pool and an enhanced RRH (eRRH). A frequency-domain compression approach that exploits LTE signal redundancy and user scheduling information can be used at the eRRH to significantly reduce front-haul data-rate requirements. Uniform scalar quantization and variable-rate Huffman coding in the frequency-domain can be applied in a compression approach based on the user scheduling information wherein a lossy compression is followed by a lossless compression.
Abstract:
Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to perform device to device (D2D) discovery in a wireless network is described. The UE can decode D2D discovery parameters received from an eNodeB. The UE can determine a UE D2D discovery resource from the D2D discovery resource allocation based, in part, on the D2D discovery parameters. The UE can encode a D2D discovery message for transmission from the UE to a second UE using the UE D2D discovery resource in the D2D discovery resource allocation
Abstract:
Technology for a user equipment (UE) to communicate in a device to device (D2D) network. A D2D discovery beacon can be listened for at the UE for a predetermined period of time. The UE can be self-assigned as a D2D cluster coordinator when the D2D discovery beacon has not been received by the UE for the predetermined period of time. A D2D cluster can be formed to enable D2D communication between D2D UEs in the D2D cluster. A D2D discovery beacon can be transmitted from the D2D cluster coordinator to the D2D UEs within the D2D cluster.

Abstract:
Technology for performing device-to-device (D2D) discovery is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can identify a D2D discovery resource that is M subframes in a time domain, wherein M is a positive integer greater than one. The UE can generate K demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequences to be transmitted from the UE for each subframe in the D2D discovery resource, wherein K is a positive integer greater than two. The UE can apply a predetermined orthogonal cover code (OCC) to each DMRS sequence. The predetermined OCC can be selected based on a value of M and a value of K. The UE can transmit the K DMRS sequences for each of the M subframes of the D2D discovery resource.

Technology for an eNodeB to communicate with a user equipment (UE) using a self-contained time division duplex (TDD) subframe within a wireless communication network is disclosed. The eNodeB can process, for transmission to the UE, a DL self-contained time division duplex (TDD) subframe comprising an extended physical downlink shared channel (xPDSCH), an extended physical downlink control channel (xPDCCH), a downlink (DL) spacing signal, and a guard period, wherein the xPDSCH, the xPDCCH, the DL spacing signal, and the guard time are located within the DL self-contained TDD subframe prior to an extended physical uplink control channel (xPUCCH). The eNodeB can process, an uplink (UL) self-contained TDD subframe, received from the UE, having a UL spacing signal located after an extended physical uplink shared channel (xPUSCH).
Abstract:
Technology for a base station operable to encode guard interval (GI) discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spread orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) (GI-DFT-s-OFDM) data symbols for transmission to a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The base station can identify GI-DFT-s-O 5 FDM data symbols for transmission to the UE. The base station can encode the GI-DFT-s-OFDM data symbols for transmission to the UE in a subframe. The subframe can be in accordance with a flexible subframe structure that begins with a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence followed by a GI sequence in a first symbol of the subframe. The subframe can further comprise one or 10 more subsequent symbols in the subframe that each include a GI-DFT-s-OFDM data symbol followed by a GI sequence.
