Abstract:
Provided herein are a method and an apparatus for interference measurement using a beam management reference signal (BM-RS). The disclosure provides an apparatus for a user equipment (UE), comprising circuitry configured to: decode one or more beam management reference signals broadcasted by a Transmission Reception Point (TRP) in a cell, wherein the one or more beam management reference signals are used by the TRP to perform beam management for respective one or more other UEs in the cell; and measure interference from the one or more other UEs in the cell based on the decoded one or more beam management reference signals. According to some embodiments, the overhead for the interference measurement can be reduced since it is not necessary to allocate a separate CSI-RS for the purpose of interference measurement.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of providing communications between UEs are generally described. A notification resource indicating subsequent transmission of a discovery message is transmitted from a UE to another UE using a discovery ID selected from a limited number of discovery IDs stored in the other UE. The other UE transmits a random access request to the UE having a temporary ID. The UE may not respond if the temporary ID is already used or may transmit data transmission information scrambled by the temporary ID. The other UE transmits a contention resolution PDU to the UE and may receive an ACK to indicate ID contention is not present, or either no response or a NACK to indicate the presence of ID contention. The other UE may either select a new temporary ID or use a backoff timer to retransmit the random access request at a random time.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of providing DMRS for a UE are generally described. The DMRS locations in a resource unit of a Physical Resource Allocation of a shared channel are randomly determined, and the DMRS sequences randomly generated before transmission from a master UE to a wearable UE. The DMRS locations are disposed on different subcarriers and symbols in the resource unit and are repeated every k subframes or m resource units within the same subframe. In situations in which the collision/contention probability is relatively small, DMRS in control channels may be used rather than in the shared data channel.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes frame structures and layer one (L1) procedures suitable for Xu air interfaces. Features of the design are designed for energy-efficient operation and to meet other performance specifications and characteristics of ultra-dense user equipment deployments.
Abstract:
A communication method, the method comprising: establishing, by a first devive, a wireless device-to-device connection; receiving, by the first device, one or more core contents of a social network via a wireless network; and transferring, by the first device, the one or more core contents of the social network via the wireless device-to-device connection.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for directional communication are generally described herein. The eNB may transmit, signal and an uplink scheduling block to a first UE according to a downlink transmission direction from the eNB to the first UE. The eNB 104 may further transmit, during the downlink sub-frame, a second beam refinement training signal and a downlink scheduling block to a second UE according to a downlink transmission direction from the eNB to the second UE. The uplink scheduling block may indicate scheduled uplink resources for a scheduled uplink transmission by the first UE and the downlink scheduling block may indicate scheduled downlink resources for a scheduled downlink transmission to the second UE.
Abstract:
An apparatus of user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprises transceiver circuitry and processing circuitry. The transceiver circuitry is configured to transmit and receive radio frequency electrical signals to communicate with one or more separate devices via a cellular communication network as UE and to communicate with one or more separate devices via a wireless personal area network (PAN) as PAN header UE (hUE). The processing circuitry is configured to receive a packetized message directly from a second UE via the PAN, wherein the packetized message indicates an enhanced node B (eNB) of the cellular network as a destination for the packetized message; and initiate transmission of the packetized message to the eNB.

Abstract:
Embodiments of a system and method for personal area network (PAN) communication for wearable devices in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a wearable user equipment (wUE) includes processing circuitry and transceiver circuitry. The processing circuitry is to: configure the wUE to enter into an active state; and configure the transceiver circuitry to: scan, in response to entering into the active state, for a Beacon signal from a network user equipment (nUE); upon failing to detect the Beacon signal, send a probe signal to the nUE; and upon detecting the Beacon signal or upon receiving a response to the probe signal, connect to a PAN associated with the nUE.
