    摘要: Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method for wireless communication includes transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), an indication of a control channel subcarrier spacing to be used by the UE; and transmitting a control message having a subcarrier spacing in accordance with the indication. Another method for wireless communication includes transmitting, to a UE, an indicator channel identifying at least a subcarrier spacing to be used in one or more subsequent control channels. One or more subsequent control channels are then transmitted in accordance with the subcarrier spacing indicated by the indicator channel.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure provide various flexible search space designs that can handle UEs with various capabilities and limitations. In some aspects of the disclosure, the downlink bandwidth may be divided into several self-contained sub-bands. Each sub-band may include one or more OFDM subcarriers or tones, and each UE may be configured to monitor one or more of the sub-bands for its downlink control channel. The sub-band is self-contained in such a way that each sub-band includes CCEs that are mapped to resource elements contained in the same sub-band. In some aspects of the disclosure, different sub-bands can be configured with the different transmission modes and pilot densities. The transmission mode, pilot density, and layer-ID may be determined as a function of each UE's search space.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining rate matching behavior for a plurality of control resource sets (CORESETs) is provided. A base station (BS) bundles a plurality of CORESETs into a global resource set. The BS configures the global resource set for a User Equipment (UE). The BS determines resources assigned to a downlink data channel overlap at least a portion of the global resource set and determines whether data on the downlink data channel is to be rate matched around the global resource set or is to use resources in the global resource set. The BS transmits the data on the downlink data channel based on the determination of the rate matching.

    摘要: Aspects herein describe increasing density of reference signal transmissions in wireless communications. A plurality of reference signal configurations, each indicating resource elements for one or more antenna ports over which reference signals for the one or more antenna ports are scheduled for transmission, can be received. An association configuration indicating an association between at least two antenna ports as having similar channel characteristics can also be received. A plurality of reference signals can be received in the resource elements corresponding to the at least two antenna ports as indicated in the at least two of the plurality of reference signal configurations, which can be used to perform a channel measurement of the similar channel characteristics of channels of the at least two antenna ports over at least a portion of the plurality of reference signals.
