Techniques for configuration of a user equipment (UE) for fifth generation (5G) Channel State Information (xCSI) Reference Signals (xCSI-RS) are discussed. One example apparatus employable at a base station comprises a processor configured to schedule a fifth generation Physical Downlink Shared Channel (xPDSCH) during one or more xPDSCH symbols of a subframe n; schedule a final M symbols of the one or more xPDSCH symbols for fifth generation Channel State Information Reference Signals (xCSI-RS); and output one or more control messages to transmitter circuitry for transmission to one or more User Equipments (UEs), wherein the one or more control messages comprise a xCSI-RS configuration for the one or more UEs, wherein the xCSI-RS configuration indicates the value of M and the final M symbols scheduled for xCSI-RS.
Abstract:
Techniques for xPDCCH (5G (Fifth Generation) Physical Downlink Control Channel) design are discussed. In various aspects, xPDCCH can be transmitted via one or more OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols, with each OFDM symbol comprising a xPDCCH search space. Each xPDCCH search space can have one or two distinct xPDCCH sets, with each xPDCCH set having a xCCE (5G Control Channel Element) starting position that can be based on one of several predetermined rules, and can depend on one or more factors.

Described is an apparatus of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) operable to communicate with a User Equipment (UE) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to establish a subframe configuration comprising one or more Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols for one of: Uplink (UL) transmission, or Downlink (DL) transmission. The second circuitry may be operable to allocate one or more Phase Compensation Reference Signal (PCRS) Resource Elements (REs) to carry a PCRS signal for at least part of the one or more OFDM symbols at one or more subcarrier frequencies.
Abstract:
Beam measurement reporting circuitry is provided for a user equipment (UE) of a wireless telecommunications network. The beam measurement reporting circuitry receives from the network, beam measurement configuration data and measures signal qualities for a plurality of received beams originating from a beam source of the network (serving and neighbouring cells). Beam measurements are performed by the UE to facilitate identification of a non-zero integer, N, beams depending upon the signal quality measurements. The identified beams can be candidate beams for a handover. Circuitry for a NodeB is also provided. A UE, a NodeB and corresponding methods incorporating the beam measurement reporting circuitry and beam measurement configuration circuitry are also provided.

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) may include a memory and one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory. The processors may process a scheduling trigger to provide channel state information (CSI) and beam information using extra-large physical uplink shared channel (xPUSCH). The processing device may also generate a reporting message comprising CSI and beam information. The processing device may then encode xPUSCH data to include the reporting message.

Techniques for transmit power control calculation by user equipments (UEs) are discussed. An example apparatus employable by a UE comprises a processor configured to: configure, for each active link of a set of active links, a distinct set of power control parameters, wherein each active link comprises a distinct combination of a UE beam of a set of UE beams and a transmission/reception point (TRP) beam of a set of TRP beams; process an uplink (UL) grant received via a control channel that indicates a first active link of the set of active links, wherein the first active link comprises a first UE beam and a first TRP beam; calculate a first transmit power based at least in part on the distinct set of power control parameters configured for the first active link; and output UL data for transmission via the first UE beam at the first transmit power.
