Abstract:
A method and apparatus for paging a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) in a CELL_PCH and URA_PCH states are disclosed. A WTRU may send an indication of an enhanced paging channel (PCH) capability of receiving a high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) in CELL_PCH and URA_PCH states, for example, in a CELL UPDATE message, a URA UPDATE message, or a UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message. A drift radio network controller (DRNC) may receive an indication whether the WTRU has an enhanced PCH capability from a serving RNC and page the WTRU based on the indication. An RNC may page the WTRU over both an HS-DSCH and a PCH/secondary common control physical channel (S-CCPCH) if a WTRU capability is not known. The WTRU may monitor both an HS-DSCH and a PCH/S-CCPCH. The WTRU may configure reception over an HS-DSCH based on the capability of the SRNC or configuration from the network.
Abstract:
The disclosure pertains to methods and apparatus for network energy savings. A method may be implemented in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The method may include receiving first information indicating (i) one or more scheduling request (SR) resources and (ii) a set of wake-up request occasions, wherein each SR resource may be associated with one or more levels of availability. The method may include determining that the WTRU may be at a first level of availability. The method may include transmitting a first wake-up request using a first wake-up request occasion of the set of wake-up request occasions based on a determination that a SR may be to be transmitted using a SR resource associated with a second level of availability of the one or more levels of availability. The method may include transmitting the SR in the SR resource associated with the second level of availability.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein regarding power control and link adaptation for cross-division duplex (XDD). A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a grant associated with transmission of an uplink (UL) signal. The grant may indicate a first set of resource blocks (RBs). The WTRU may determine a frequency gap (FG) between the first set of RBs and a reference RB. The WTRU may adjust one or more transmit (Tx) parameters based on the determined FG. When the determined FG is less than a pre-defined threshold, the WTRU may reduce one or more of a transmit power or a modulation coding scheme (MCS) level associated with transmission of the UL signal scheduled by the grant. The WTRU may transmit the UL signal using the adjusted one or more Tx parameters.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and system of a User Equipment (UE) device executing communications using a Device-to-Device (D2D) Long Term Evolution (LTE) network are provided. The method includes determining D2D devices communicating in an area, determining whether D2D data is to be transmitted, determining one or more resource sets for transmitting the D2D data, and transmitting the D2D data using the determined one or more resource sets.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus and systems for link adaption for D2D communications are disclosed. One representative method includes: receiving, by a first WTRU, information indicating Return Sidelink (RSL) resources associated with RSL D2D communication between the first WTRU and a second WTRU; determining, by the first WTRU, the RSL resources based on the received information; and transmitting, by the first WTRU to the second WTRU, sidelink information using the determined RSL resources.
Abstract:
The disclosure pertains to methods and apparatus for transmitting uplink data to a wireless network asynchronously comprising generating data for transmission to the network on an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) transport channel, selecting between transmitting the data to the network orthogonally or non-orthogonally, and transmitting the data on the selected physical channel.
Abstract:
A method implemented by a Wireless Transmit/Receive Unit (WTRU) includes receiving a DeModulation Interference Measurement (DM-IM) resource, determining an interference measurement based on the DM-IM resource, and demodulating a received signal based on the interference measurement. An interference is suppressed based on the interference measurement. At least one DM-IM resource is located in a Physical Resource Block (PRB). The DM-IM resource is located in a PRB allocated for the WTRU. The DM-IM resource is a plurality of DM-IM resources which form a DM-IM pattern, and the DM-IM pattern is located on a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and/or an enhanced Physical Downlink Shared Channel (E-PDSCH) of at least one Long Term Evolution (LTE) subframe. The DM-IM resources are different for different Physical Resource Blocks (PRB) in the LTE subframe. The DM-IM is located in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) Resource Block (RB), and the DM-IM pattern is adjusted.
Abstract:
Cell detection information, such as cell identity, frequency, dormant/active mode, etc. may be determined. This cell detection information may be reported based on properties of a received Auxiliary Synchronization Signal (AuSS) or discovery signal. The received signal may be processed as a function of its timing, for example, with respect to timing of a serving cell. A WTRU may obtain cell detection information for a neighbor cell. A cell may also be detected by surrounding WTRUs. A WTRU may determine timing of cell reactivation from a detected property of the AuSS or discovery signal. A WTRU may trigger an RRC procedure upon selecting a dormant but temporarily reactivated cell. An eNB may transmit AuSS for a dormant cell based on detection of signals received from neighbor cells. Quasi-colocation (QCL) demodulation may be performed based on the detected signal. The on/off state of a cell may be indicated.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for coordinating interference in a wireless network characterized by a small cell deployment. A cell may perform state transitions during certain defined times, which may be fixed time instances and/or patterns of state transitions. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be signaled regarding the defined times. A subset of subframes may be configured for CSI measurement and reporting. A time division duplexing (TDD) WTRU may be configured with fixed downlink subframes and flexible downlink subframes, which may be used for uplink transmissions or downlink transmissions. A WTRU may feedback CSI for such flexible downlink subframes. This feedback reporting may enable dynamic power backoff.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and/or techniques for improving downlink spectrum efficiency may be disclosed. For example, a higher order modulation (HOM) transmission may be provided to a device. The higher order modulation transmission may be configured to be indicated by the network or a device. Additionally, multiple modulation and coding scheme (MCS) tables, transport block size (TBS) tables, and/or channel quality index (CQI) tables may be provided to support the higher order modulation transmission.
