    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which beamforming may be configured at a user equipment (UE) for narrowband communications. The UE may be a narrowband UE that may provide an indication to a base station that the UE is capable of performing beamforming communication for a unicast channel transmission. Such an indication may be provided in response to the UE receiving a non-beamformed broadcast channel transmission from the base station via a first carrier. The base station may receive the indication and configure the UE with a beamformed narrowband communications scheme. Such a beamformed formed narrowband communications scheme may be used for narrowband downlink shared channel communications, narrowband downlink control channel communications, or combinations thereof. In some cases, beamformed communications may be configured on a different carrier than the first carrier. The base station and UE may then communicate using beamformed transmissions.

    摘要: Signaling design for interlaced frequency divisional multiplex (IFDM) demodulation reference signals (DMRS) is discussed in which a dynamic indication is provided to a user equipment (UE) from a serving base station that allows the UE to configure transmission of DMRS according to either a single carrier frequency divisional multiplex (SC-FDM) or IFDM configurations, as indicated by the dynamic indication. The IFDM configuration may be applicable to either regular uplink subframes or within the uplink portion of special subframes. In some aspects, power boosting may be provided for the DMRS in order to equalize transmit power between decimated DMRS transmitted with the data tones. Additional aspects may also provide for different offsets to be used depending on the type of uplink control signal transmitted.

    摘要: The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, or apparatuses that support communication schemes for small cyclic delay diversity (SCDD) reference signals. A base station may transmit a control message comprising at least one channel state information (CSI) configuration parameter to a user equipment (UE). The UE may identify a time offset between a plurality of virtual antennas of the base station based at least in part on the CSI configuration parameter. The UE may perform measurements of a plurality of CSI reference signals (CSI-RSs) transmitted by the base station and associated with the virtual antennas. The UE may transmit a feedback message based at least in part on the determined time offset and the measurements of the CSI-RSs.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices are described for interference mitigation between neighboring cells through the use of cell clusters and virtual logical cell clusters. Cells may be added to a cell cluster with a first cell when a level of interference coupling between the first cell and one or more neighboring cells exceeds a first threshold. One or more other cells may be added to a virtual logical cell cluster with the first cell when the level of interference coupling is between a second threshold and the first threshold, the second threshold being less than the first threshold. Interference mitigation between cells of cell clusters and/or virtual logical cell clusters may be performed. Interference mitigation may be accomplished through, for example, coordination of TDD uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configurations for cell clusters and scheduling-dependent interference management (SDIM) for virtual logical cell clusters.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices are described for discontinuous transmission and/or discontinuous reception in time division duplex (TDD) systems that may have data transmission formats dynamically reconfigured. An initial uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration for TDD communication between an eNB and user equipment (UE) may be established. This initial UL-DL configuration may be reconfigured to a different UL-DL configuration for one or more UEs in communication with the eNB. When a UE switches to discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, it may monitor control information from the eNB during DRX on periods, a frequency of the DRX on periods based on a reference UL-DL configuration irrespective of any reconfiguration of UL-DL configuration for a particular UE. In some aspects, a UE that is operating in a UL-DL reconfiguration mode may, upon entering DRX mode, autonomously discontinue operating in the UL-DL re-configuration mode.
