Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for enabling multi-beam PRACH. One method may include transmitting a physical random access channel preamble based upon at least two different transmission beams in the same random access channel occasion; and receive a message configured to indicate a preferred transmission beam of the transmission beams used with the physical random access channel preamble.
Abstract:
Certain examples of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus (10), method (400) and computer program (14) for: receiving at least one first signal (501) comprising an indication of at least one bit of a first System Frame Number, SFN (302); determining, based at least in part on the received at least one first signal, at least one value of a reliability metric for the at least one bit of the first SFN; receiving at least one second signal (503) comprising an indication of at least one bit of a second SFN different than the first SFN; determining, based at least in part on the received at least one second signal and the determined at least one value of the reliability metric for the at least one bit of the first SFN, at least one value of a reliability metric for the at least one bit of the second SFN.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products for transmitting/receiving scheduling assignment(s) (SAs) are provided. One method is directed to including a short version of a target ID (i.e., short ID) in a SA. The method may also include transmitting the SA including the short ID to one or more monitoring UE(s). The monitoring UE(s) may then compare the short ID to target ID(s) being monitored. The corresponding data from the SA may be decoded if there is a match between the short ID and any of the target ID(s).
