    摘要: Disclosed embodiments are related to beam management in cellular communication networks, and in particular, provide a new transmission (Tx) beamforming indication based on the flexible Tx beam-forming assignment on the corresponding reference signal configured in a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state for downlink (DL) or spatial relation information in the uplink (UL). The Tx beam-forming on the reference signal of the TCI state configured for the DL physical channel/reference signal can be updated based on reported Tx beam in the UL or using UL measurements from Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission. Similarly, spatial relation information configuration used to indicate Tx beam-forming in the UL, may be also updated based on the reference signal measurements in DL or by suing Downlink Control Information (DCI) based beam indication in a scheduling request indicator (SRI). Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    摘要: User equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry, where to configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications in an unlicensed spectrum, the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling including configuration information identifying a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) search space set. The configuration information includes a PDCCH monitoring periodicity, a PDCCH monitoring offset, and a PDCCH monitoring duration associated with the PDCCH search space set. The PDCCH search space set is monitored for downlink control information (DCI) using the PDCCH monitoring periodicity, the PDCCH monitoring offset, and the PDCCH monitoring duration. Upon detecting the DCI within the monitored PDCCH search space set, a DCI format within the DCI is decoded.

    摘要: Various embodiments herein provide techniques for multiple-beam uplink transmission in a wireless cellular network. For example, a user equipment (UE) may transmit an uplink signal (e.g., a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH)) according to a transmit beam cycling pattern. The transmit beam cycling pattern may be configured or predefined. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

    摘要: Various embodiments herein provide techniques for minimum mean-square error interference rejection combining (MMSE-IRC) processing of a received signal, distributed between a baseband unit (BBU) and a remote radio unit (RRU). The RRU may perform a first phase of processing based on an extended channel that includes a channel of one or more user equipments (UEs) served by the RRU and interference samples that correspond to other cells or additive noise. The first phase may include scaling the interference samples by a scaling coefficient to obtain a modified extended channel, and performing maximum ratio combining (MRC) on the modified extended channel to obtain a processed signal. The RRU may send the processed signal to the BBU for the second phase of processing. The second phase of processing may include regularized zero forcing to remove interference. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
