Abstract:
Techniques for implementing a wearable higher layer (w-HL) for communications involving a wearable user equipment (wUE) are discussed. One example involves assigning a distinct sequence number to each of one or more control plane (CP) packets from a wearable radio resource control (w-RRC) layer; buffering the one or more CP packets to a CP transmission buffer; determining a physical resource assignment (PRA) and an allocated size for a wearable higher layer (w-HL) control protocol data unit (C-PDU); generating the w-HL C-PDU based at least in part on the one or more CP packets buffered to the CP transmission buffer, the PRA, and the allocated size; adding a packet header to the w-HL C-PDU; and providing the w-HL C-PDU to a physical layer based on the PRA.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a system and method for random access and scheduling request for new radio things sidelink are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a nUE (network user equipment) schedules a RA (random access) resource in a control channel. The nUE decodes a TAS (transmitter resource acquisition and sounding) payload, received from a wUE (wearable user equipment) in a PRB (physical resource block) addressed to a RA-ID (random access identifier) associated with the nUE. The nUE encodes, in response to decoding the TAS payload, a RAS (receiver resource acknowledgement and sounding) payload in the PRB. The nUE decodes initial access content received via a data channel from the wUE, the initial access content including a proposed temp ID (temporary identifier) for addressing the wUE. The nUE encode, in response to the initial access content, an ACK (acknowledgement), addressed to the wUE, to accept initial access of the wUE.

The mobile device may have a channel state information module operative to generate channel state information for a fixed device using a non-unitary precoding scheme for a closed loop multi-user multiple-input and multiple-output scheme. The channel state information may comprise channel quality information and a codeword index. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for reducing an amount of bandwidth required for feedback to a transmitter station in a closed-loop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system are described herein. The methods may include initially measuring at a receiver station channel qualities associated with receiving signals from a transmitter station for a first and a second spatial channel, the transmitter and receiver stations employing a closed-loop MIMO system. The receiver station may then determine a first and a second channel quality indicator (CQI) based on the measured channel qualities and may then transmit to the transmitter station the first and the second CQI to directly and indirectly identify a first and a second modulation coding scheme (MCS) entry among a plurality of ordered MCS entries, respectively. The second MCS entry being one of a selected subset of lower ordered MCS entries relative to the first MCS entry. The transmitter station may selectively use the first and the second identified MCS to transmit signals to the receiver station over the first and the second spatial channel, respectively.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of providing a broadcast transmission on a sidelink for vehicle UEs are generally described. Data is broadcast in a broadcast channel (BC) following a downlink control channel (DLCC). The DLCC indicates that the broadcast subframe comprises a broadcast structure and which of unicast and/or broadcast data is contained in the structure. The BC has data and an index that enables the data to be coherently combined and decoded. The broadcast subframe structure can be FDMed or TDMed with other unicast or broadcast subframe structures. The broadcast structure contains a single BC or multiple BCs separated by a gap. Each BC contains broadcast or unicast data. UL sensing data obtained during a sensing period of the gap is used to adjust later broadcasts.

Techniques for implementing power saving states and paging techniques in connection with tSL (5G (Fifth Generation) NR (New Radio) Things SL (Sidelink)) communications are discussed. The power saving states can include a tSL-RRC (Radio Resource Control)-Active State that can facilitate data activity and monitor DL (downlink) channels and a paging channel, a tSL-RRC-Idle State with reduced power consumption that can still monitor the paging channel, and a tSL-RRC-Deep-PSM (Power Saving Mode) State that can provide further reduced power consumption. Further techniques are provided to facilitate tSL paging communications in connection with a tSL air interface.

A precoding module identically transforms a first matrix expression into a second matrix expression. The first matrix expression comprises a matrix inversion operation of a quadratic matrix having a rank equal to a number of antennas of the MIMO transmitter. The second matrix expression comprises a matrix inversion operation of a quadratic matrix having a rank equal to a number of receivers scheduled for the MIMO transmitter.

A front-end unit that operates within a C-RAN architecture to perform the functions of cellular signal processing and resource selection between an RRU and the BBU pool network is described. The front-end unit supports flexible load migration and CoMP (coordinated multipoint) in the CRAN BBU while also reducing data transmission within the BBU pool network or between the BBU pool network and the RRU.
