Abstract:
Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for quasi-co-location (QCL) is disclosed. The UE can demodulate a synchronization signal (SS) block transmitted by a gNB from a first antenna port, wherein one or more of a Doppler shift, a Doppler spread, an average delay, a delay spread, and spatial receiving parameters are derived from the SS block. The UE can decode a QCL indication that provides an assumption of QCL between a first reference signal of the first antenna port and a second reference signal of a second antenna port. The UE can demodulate the physical channel or the reference signal transmitted by the gNB from the second antenna port, using one or more of the Doppler shift, the Doppler spread, the average delay, the delay spread, and the spatial receiving parameters based on the assumption of QCL.

Abstract:
Systems and methods of using blockwised DMRSs are generally described. A UE uses wideband or blockwised DMRSs as indicated by higher layer signaling or a DMRS scheme indicator of DCI. When transmitting blockwised DMRSs, the blockwised DMRSs have, for different resource blocks or DMRSs, DMRS cyclic shift hopping, different DMRS sequences, different phase rotation, and/or different scrambling sequences. The manner in which the blockwised DMRSs differ depend on the sequences or hopping are cell-specific or UE-specific, as well as whether the multiple symbols in a subframe are allocated to the UE to transmit the DMRSs.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of compensating for interference in a 5G system are generally described. An Interference Measurement Resource (IMR) is present in multiple resource elements of a subframe or a combination of a ZP and NZP Tracking Reference Signal (PT-RS) are used. An IMR covariance matrix is applied to compensate for the interference. The number of IMR subcarriers and symbols between adjacent IMRs is dependent on the numerologies and synchronization within the UE network. When the IMR is in multiple subcarriers in the first symbol of the second slot, and the matrix is determined using the IMR rather than a DMRS. The DCI comprises a flag that denotes whether IMR is enabled for a current PDCH, and indicates the manner to use the IMR. The subcarrier index for the NZP PT-RS overlaps the subcarrier index for the ZP PT-RS of another UE or gNB.
