摘要:
An enhanced NodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and method of communicating using Long Term Evolution (LTE) licensed and unlicensed bands are generally described herein. The eNB may transmit a trigger signal to the UE. The trigger signal may be transmitted in the LTE unlicensed or licensed band and inform the UE of transmission of a reference signal from the eNB to the UE in the unlicensed band. The trigger signal may correspond to a single reference signal transmission or multiple periodic or consecutive reference signal transmissions. The trigger signal or a separate trigger signal may be used to inform the UE of a data transmission. The trigger signal may be transmitted at any point prior to or in the same subframe as the reference signal and the reference signal may be transmitted before, after or in the same subframe as the data.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described related to mapping special subframes in a wireless communication network. In embodiments, an eNB may assign demodulation reference signals (DM-RSs) and/or cell-specific reference signals (CRSs) to a downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS) of a special subframe responsive to a determined configuration of the special subframe. In embodiments, an eNB may bundle the DwPTS or an uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS) of the special subframe with another subframe for scheduling. In embodiments, a UE may estimate a channel associated with the special subframe based on DM-RSs and/or CRSs transmitted in another subframe. In embodiments, an eNB may exclude the DwPTS from scheduling for certain special subframe configurations if a new carrier type (NCT) is used. In embodiments, an eNB may exclude certain special subframe configurations from use for NCT communications. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

A user equipment (UE) for time division duplex (TDD) communication through a wireless communication channel has a receiver to receive a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) subframe configuration value, a CSI-RS configuration value, and a CSI-RS; and circuitry to determine a subframe index corresponding to a temporal position of a special subframe including the CSI-RS; determine a CSI-RS pattern of one or more orthogonal frequency division modulation (OFDM) resource elements carrying the CSI-RS, the pattern being from among a group of CSI-RS patterns that include OF DM resource elements in OFDM symbols corresponding to a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) region of a legacy LTE wireless communication channel; control the receiver to receive the special subframe carrying the CSI-RS during the temporal position and at the one or more OFDM resource elements of the CSI-RS pattern; and measure the wireless communication channel based on the CSI-RS.

Methods, systems, and storage media for providing and/or obtaining feedback for data transmissions in an unlicensed shared medium are described. In embodiments, an apparatus may include radio control circuitry to demodulate and decode a data transmission from an evolved node B (eNB). The apparatus may include and processing circuitry, coupled with the radio control circuitry, and the processing circuitry is to receive the data transmission from the radio control circuitry and generate feedback based on the data transmission. The radio control circuitry may also control radio-frequency circuitry to determine whether a physical channel in an unlicensed shared medium is unoccupied, and transmit the feedback to the eNB over the physical channel when the physical channel is unoccupied according to the determination. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

摘要:
Techniques to manage heterogeneous carrier types are described. User equipment may comprise a processor circuit and a network control component for execution on the processor circuit to locate a synchronization signal (SS) and a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) in a physical resource block (PRB) pair of a long term evolution (LTE) system, the PRB pair having a physical signal pattern for a first carrier type, the physical signal pattern for the first carrier type to have a same number of defined positions between the SS and the CRS within the PRB pair as a physical signal pattern for a second carrier type. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A small cell station communicates with user equipment utilizing a reduced overhead demodulation reference signal (DRMS) pattern when good channel conditions are detected. An indicator field is used to identify whether a reduced overhead DRMS pattern is being transmitted. If appropriate, the reduced overhead DRMS pattern is generated and transmitted by the small cell station and received and used by the user equipment as indicated by the indicator field.
