Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) over an OFDMA-based uplink. In some embodiments, UCI symbols are mapped to resource elements (REs) in the time/frequency resource grid to maximize frequency diversity. In some embodiments, UCI is mapped in a manner that takes into account channel estimation performance by mapping UCI symbols to those REs that are closest (in terms of OFDM subcarriers/symbols) to REs that carry reference signals.

Abstract: Devices and methods of enhancing narrowband communications are generally described. NPSS and NSSS are modulated to include an additional bit that indicates a duplexing scheme, a raster frequency offset (zero or non-zero), an operating mode (in-band or standalone/guard-band) or frame timing used by the eNB. The NPSS modulation uses conjugate ZC sequences multiplied by a cover code for each OFDM symbol. The NMIB may provide additional information related to the operating mode or offset. NSSS cyclic shifts may be used to indicate the offset or TDD/FDD use, as may relative locations of the NPSS and NSSS. The NSSS may use symbol-level modulation and time domain cyclic shifts to indicate the frame timing.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods for reference signal design for initial acquisition, by receiving a first primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a first secondary synchronization signal (SSS) from a first transmit (Tx) beam, in first contiguous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of a downlink subframe. A UE can receive at least a second PSS and a second SSS from a second Tx beam in contiguous OFDM symbols of the downlink subframe. A UE can then detect beamforming reference signals (BRSs) corresponding to the first Tx beam and the second Tx beam, based on identification of physical cell ID information and timing information processed from the first PSS, the second PSS, the first SSS, and the second SSS. The UE can select the first Tx beam or the second Tx beam that was received with the highest power, based on the BRSs. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB), User Equipment (UE), and methods for flexible duplex communication are generally described herein. The eNB may transmit a downlink control information (DCI) block to the UE during a group of time-division duplex (TDD) sub-frames. The eNB may further receive an uplink control information (UCI) block from the UE during the group of TDD sub-frames. A first candidate flexible duplex format for the TDD sub-frames may include a downlink control portion and an uplink control portion. A second candidate flexible duplex format for the TDD sub-frames may include a downlink control portion and may exclude uplink control portions.

Abstract: The periodic broadcasting of system information by an eNB is costly in terms of both spectrum and energy. Embodiments described herein more efficiently transmit system information and are particularly applicable to 5G deployment scenarios. In one embodiment, an LTE cell broadcasts system information to be used by a UE in initially connecting to a 5G cell, termed initial access system information. The 5G cell may then transmit system information upon request by a connected UE or when the system information is updated.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein include user equipment (UE), evolved node B (eNB), methods, and systems for narrowband Internet-of-Things (IoT) communications. Some embodiments particularly relate to control channel communications between UE and eNB in narrowband IoT communications. In one embodiment, a UE blind decodes a first control transmission from an evolved node B (eNB) by processing a first physical resource block comprising all subcarriers of the transmission bandwidth and all orthogonal frequency division multiplexed symbols of a first subframe to determine the first control transmission. In various further embodiments, various resource groupings of resource elements are used as part of the control communications.
