Abstract:
Apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods for addressing for short feedback. An apparatus for address for short feedback including processing circuitry configured to decode a trigger frame (TF) for a null data packet (NDP) feedback report poll, the TF comprising user information fields, wherein the user information fields indicate ranges of association identifications (AIDs), and where the TF further comprises a feedback type field, the TF received from an HE access point. The processing circuitry may be further configured to determine whether the TF indicates that the HE station is scheduled for an NDP feedback report response based on the range of AIDs indicated by the user information fields.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication using beam aggregation are generally described herein. The UE may receive first and second directional signals from a first eNB and a second eNB as part of a beam aggregation. The UE may transmit one or more channel state information (CSI) messages to the eNBs. The CSI messages may include rank indicators (RI) for the first and second signals. The RIs may indicate numbers of directional beams between the eNBs and the UE that are determined as part of the reception of the first signal. In some cases, when multiple transmit beams are included in a directional signal, the CSI messages may include multiple RIs for each of the transmitted beams.

Embodiments of a packet structure for frequency offset estimation and method for UL MU-MIMO communication in high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) are generally described herein.In some embodiments,the packet structure may comprise a short training field (STF), a number of long-training fields (LTFs) following the STF, a signal field (SIGB )to follow the LTFs, and a data field to follow the signal field. The data field may comprise an UL MU-MIMO transmission from a plurality of scheduled stations. The number of LTFs may be equal to or greater than a number of data streams as part of the UL MU-MIMO transmission,and the plurality of scheduled stations may share the number of LTFs by transmitting on different orthogonal tone sets.
Abstract:
Technology is discussed for supporting wireless communication paths from an antenna array with a vertical directional component. Examples reduce training feedback for increased numbers of communication paths by only reporting on a subset of Reference Signals (RSs) provided for various vertical beam configurations. Additional examples reduce feedback with virtual measurements based on a difference between RS measurements. One such measurement can come from full set of RSs for a reference beam configuration and another from a partial set of RSs for an additional beam configuration. Such virtual measurements can also be based on cross correlation for beamforming weights associated with the two configurations. Several examples of preparing and sending measurement reports consistent with Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards are discussed. The supporting technology also increases diversity and reduces a power differential between spatially multiplexed layers transmitting a common codeword.
Abstract:
A system and a method for a mobility measurement in a wireless network comprises determining at a wireless terminal a channel power estimation E s for a carrier signal based on Channel State Information Reference Signals (CSI RS), and determining at the wireless terminal a noise plus interference I+N for the carrier signal based on a muted CSI RS. The carrier signal is an additional carrier without the presence of a Cell-specific Reference Signal. In one exemplary embodiment, the periodicity of the CSI RS is selected to be 1, 2 or 3 subframes.

Systems and techniques for wireless device-to-device (D2D) communication are provided herein. A D2D group identifier may be included in wireless transmissions within D2D groups. D2D interference mitigation processes may be initiated when a D2D group identifier is detected by a wireless device outside the D2D group.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of allowing user equipment (UE) to transmit information directly with other user equipment, using a device-to-device (D2D) mode is disclosed herein. A D2D UE (dUE1) that wishes so communicate to another UE (dUE2) in D2D mode makes various communications requests to an Evolved Node B (eNB), which can facilitate the connection between dUE1 and dUE2 by having the dUE1 measure the signals from dUE2 to help establish a D2D connection between the dUE1 and the dUE2.
Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a base transceiver station having a first set of antennas and a second set of antennas geographically separated from the first set of antennas transmits a reference signal to a first device, and receives feedback from the first device. The feedback represents information that can be used to construct a weight adjustment vector. The base transceiver station selects a precoding vector from a codebook based at least in part on the feedback received from the first device, calculates the weight adjustment vector based at least in part on the feedback, and applies the weight adjustment vector to the selected precoding vector to provide an adjusted precoding vector. The base transceiver station then may transmit data to the first device using the adjusted precoding vector.
Abstract:
Technology for mapping an enhanced physical downlink control channel to physical resource blocks in a radio frame is disclosed. One method comprises mapping modulated symbols in the ePDCCH to at least one control channel element. The at least one control channel element can be mapped to resource elements located in a plurality of distributed physical resource blocks in a subframe, wherein each resource block is separated by at least one additional resource block in the subframe. The mapping can also be to resource elements distributed in a single resource block in the subframe, wherein the control channel element is mapped to be distributed in frequency and time relative to other mapped resource elements in the single resource block.

A method includes receiving, by user equipment (UE) from an enhanced node B (eNB) station of a wireless communication network, a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) for the UE to perform channel measurements of multiple antennas of the eNB station, wherein the multiple antennas are configured in one or more circular arrays, performing, by the UE, channel measurements of the multiple antennas of the eNB station using the received CSI-RS, and determining, by the UE, a code word based on the channel measurements, the code word being stored in a codebook designed for a circular antenna array. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
