Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided that may support signaling, such as a Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB), over a flexible bandwidth carrier. For example, an SRB rate for a SRB over for a normal bandwidth carrier may be identified. A Transmission Time Interval (TTI) may be determined for the SRB over for the flexible bandwidth carrier that facilitates a SRB rate of the SRB over the flexible bandwidth carrier that maintains at least the SRB rate for the SRB over the normal bandwidth carrier. The determined TTI may be utilized for the SRB over the flexible bandwidth carrier, which may help avoid increased call setup delay, increased latency for handover, etc. that may be introduced in flexible bandwidth carrier systems. Some embodiments may include reducing spreading factors, increasing transmission power, and/or concatenating multiple transport blocks with respect to the SRB over the flexible bandwidth carrier.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are provided for mobility management for wireless communications systems that utilize a flexible bandwidth carrier. Some embodiments include approaches for determining bandwidth information, such as one or more bandwidth scaling factors N and/or flexible bandwidths, at a user equipment (UE), where the bandwidth information may not be signaled to the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided that may address problems pertaining to effective transmit power control of a communications device operating in a wireless communications system. Some embodiments utilize mechanisms or techniques with dynamically adaptive steps sizes for transmit power control based on one or more trends. Some of these techniques may identify a trend in the transmit power control (TPC) commands and may adapt a TPC step size as a result. Other techniques may be utilized in which transmit power control is based on multiple interference estimates in a frame slot. Having multiple interference estimates at sub-slot intervals may provide additional transmit power control by allowing more transmit power adjustments, or more appropriate adjustments, for each slot. Metric calculations may be performed on one or more techniques to determine appropriate TPC operations.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided that may enable wireless communications systems that utilize flexible bandwidths to transmit at the same or similar rates as wireless communications systems that utilize normal bandwidths. Some embodiments identify a target rate for a broadcast channel of a first bandwidth carrier system and transmit broadcast information utilizing the target rate. The target rate is higher than a scaled rate that results from scaling the rate for a broadcast channel of a second bandwidth carrier system by a bandwidth scaling factor. The first and second bandwidth carrier systems may be flexible and normal bandwidth carrier systems, respectively. To compensate for the bandwidth scaling and effectively maintain the rate at which information is transmitted in normal bandwidth carrier systems, different optimized schedules for system and master information transmission, different channelization codes and channels, and/or different scaled spreading factors may be identified and utilized.
