Abstract: An eNB (or other base station) comprising one or more processors may generate a plurality of channel status activation indicators. The eNB's processors may encode the plurality of indicators into a Downlink Control Information (DCI) codeword, may scramble the cyclic redundancy check bits of the DCI with a predetermined sequence, and may generate the DCI codeword to the UE as part of a DCI transmission on a physical control channel. A UE (or other mobile handset) comprising one or more processors may process a DCI transmission from the eNB, the DCI transmission including a DCI codeword. The UE's processors may decode a plurality of channel status activation indicators from the DCI codeword, may check if the cyclic redundancy bits of the DCI are scrambled with a predetermined sequence, and may trigger a plurality of physical layer activation-and-deactivation circuitries based on the plurality of channel status activation indicators.

Abstract: A synchronization signal design is described for narrowband Internet of Things Communications. The synchronization signals facilitate time and frequency synchronization between an eNB and UEs. In one example, operations include generating an NB-Iot Secondary Synchronization Signal (N-SSS) using a Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence, scrambling the ZC sequence using a scrambling sequence, and transmitting the resulting scrambled NB-Iot Secondary Synchronization Signal (N-SSS) by the eNB in a periodic manner, wherein, the eNB has a cell identifier and the cell is identified by a combination of the root of the ZC sequence and the scrambling sequence.

Abstract: Air interface resource utilization techniques for wireless communication networks are described. According to various such techniques, one or more narrow band resource regions (NBRRs) may be defined for use in conjunction with narrow band (NB) transmissions in an NB cell. In some embodiments, one or more such NBRRs may be designated as broadcast NBRRs, and may be used to carry a majority, most, or all of the broadcasted information within the NB cell. In various embodiments, another NBRR may be designated as a primary NBRR, and may be used to carry synchronization signals for the NB cell. In some such embodiments, the primary NBRR may also be used to carry NB physical broadcast channel (NB-PBCH) transmissions and NB master information blocks (NB-MIBs). Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, apparatus of an evolved NodeB (eNB) comprises circuitry to configure one or more parameters for a 5G master information block (xMIB). The xMIB contains at least one of the following parameters: downlink system bandwidth, system frame number (SFN), or configuration for other physical channels, or a combination thereof. The apparatus of the eNB comprises circuitry to transmit the xMIB via a 5G physical broadcast channel (xPBCH) on a predefined resource, the xPBCH comprising a xPBCH. The xPBCH may use a DM-RS based transmission mode, and a beamformed xPBCH may be used for mid band and high band.
