Abstract:
A method implemented by a Wireless Transmit/Receive Unit (WTRU) includes receiving a DeModulation Interference Measurement (DM-IM) resource, determining an interference measurement based on the DM-IM resource, and demodulating a received signal based on the interference measurement. An interference is suppressed based on the interference measurement. At least one DM-IM resource is located in a Physical Resource Block (PRB). The DM-IM resource is located in a PRB allocated for the WTRU. The DM-IM resource is a plurality of DM-IM resources which form a DM-IM pattern, and the DM-IM pattern is located on a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and/or an enhanced Physical Downlink Shared Channel (E-PDSCH) of at least one Long Term Evolution (LTE) subframe. The DM-IM resources are different for different Physical Resource Blocks (PRB) in the LTE subframe. The DM-IM is located in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) Resource Block (RB), and the DM-IM pattern is adjusted.
Abstract:
Method, devices and systems of multi-subband based transmission are disclosed herein. A method for use in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) includes monitoring a plurality of subbands for subbands that include an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH), wherein each subband of the plurality of subbands is made up of a subset of frequency resources in a system bandwidth, and determining whether each of the plurality of subbands is a channel state information (CSI) downlink subband (CSI-subband) for CSI feedback based on whether an EPDCCH is included in a corresponding subband of the plurality of subbands. At least two subbands of the plurality of subbands, in which a corresponding EPDCCH is included, are determined as CSI subbands for CSI feedback.

Methods, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products directed to phase-continuous frequency selective precoding are provided. Included among these classes are methods for use in connection with dynamic precoding resource block group (PRG) configuration and with codebook based transmission configuration. A representative of such methods may include any of receiving signaling indicating transmit precoding information; determining a candidate PRG size using any of the transmit precoding information, a rule for determining a PRG size and configured PRG sizes; and configuring or reconfiguring a wireless transmit/receive device in accordance with the candidate PRG size. Another of the representative methods may include reporting a transmission coherence capability of a wireless transmit/receive unit; receiving a codebook subset restriction (CBSR) commensurate with the transmission coherence capability; determining a transmit precoding matrix indices (TPMI) size based on the CBSR; receiving a TPMI; and detecting or decoding the TPMI based on the determined TPMI size.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems and procedures to manage a multicast communication to a multicast group implemented by a respective wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) of WTRUs in the multicast group are disclosed. One representative method includes receiving, by the respective WTRU of the multicast group, a configuration, the configuration indicating a Random Access Channel (RACH) preamble to use for a negative acknowledgement (NACK) response to a multicast transmission to the respective WTRU, monitoring, by the respective WTRU, for data of the multicast transmission, determining, by the respective WTRU, whether the monitored for data was successfully received; and on condition that the monitored for data was not successfully received, sending, by the respective WTRU, the RACH preamble indicated by the received configuration.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described for controlling uplink (UL) transmission power. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a configuration of UL subframe sets and maintain a plurality of transmit power control (TPC) command accumulator values that correspond to respective ones of the UL subframe sets. The WTRU may receive a TPC command in a subframe n of a downlink (DL) transmission, determine a subframe n+k of a UL transmission that the received TPC command corresponds to, determine which of the UL subframe sets the UL transmission subframe n+k belongs to, and adjust a TPC command accumulator value that corresponds to the determined UL subframe set to determine power of the UL transmission when transmitting in the UL transmission subframe, where n is an integer, and k is an integer greater than zero.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for determining a vertical beam for reception are disclosed herein. A method in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) includes receiving a broadcast message from an evolved Node B (eNB) that includes information associated with a plurality of vertical beams, wherein the information includes at least one set of Physical Random Access Control Channel (PRACH) resources associated with each of the plurality of vertical beams, measuring reference signals transmitted on each of the plurality of vertical beams to select a reception vertical beam, transmitting a PRACH preamble in a set of resources associated with the selected reception vertical beam, and receiving communications from the eNB using the selected reception vertical beam.
