Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A method may include identifying a reference number of tones for an overhead channel of a transport block and segmenting the transport block into a code block based at least in part on the reference number of tones for the overhead channel. In some examples, a code block indicator or the reference number of tones may be transmitted on a control channel. Another method may include receiving a code block size indicator associated with a code block of a transport block, decoding the code block based at least in part on the code block size indicator and assembling the transport block based at least in part on the decoded code block. In some examples, the code block size indicator may be received using a control channel.
Abstract:
A unified frame structure design includes multiple structures to support multiple access requirements. In some aspects, different access requirements may relate to different access terminal categories and/or different applications. In some aspects, different access terminal categories may relate to different performance requirements of different access terminals. In some aspects, the disclosed unified frame structure design could support, for example, and without limitation, at least one of: a low latency mode, a low overhead mode, a low power mode (e.g., for micro-sleep and/or dynamic bandwidth switching), an access terminal with narrowband capability operating in wideband, or ultra-low-latency and nominal multiplexing. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates in some aspects to an energy-aware architecture that supports a low power scheduling mode. For example, a media access control (MAC) architecture for a base station (e.g., an enhanced Node B) and associated access terminals (e.g., UEs) can take the power needs of the access terminals into account when scheduling the access terminals. In some aspects, an access terminal may support a particular frame structure for a low power mode. Accordingly, scheduling of the access terminal may include use of the particular frame structure during low power mode.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates in some aspects to techniques for improved channel estimation. For example, a device can specify a pilot structure where pilot density differs over time. As another example, a device can indicate that a pilot from a prior transmission time interval (TTI) can be used for channel estimation. As another example, a device can employ frequency domain physical resource block (PRB) bundling with the bundling information signaling. As yet another example, a device can use an adjustable traffic-to-pilot ratio (TPR) for throughput optimization. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also discussed and claimed.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a UE. A base station may select a hybrid pilot configuration including a relatively sparse periodic pilot and a dense pilot embedded in one or more symbols of a low latency burst. A user equipment (UE) may generate a long term statistical average channel estimate based on the periodic pilot and an instantaneous channel estimate (e.g., for demodulation) based on the dense pilot embedded in the low latency burst. The UE may refine the instantaneous channel estimate by converting a control channel embedded with the burst. In some instances, the base station may embed the dense pilots in the first symbol of a burst and transmit subsequent low latency symbols with a reduced density pilot (or without pilot tones).
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and systems for wireless communication are provided. A method for wireless communication using a single radio air interface includes configuring a radio air interface of a first device to operate in accordance with a first variant of resource-spread multiple access technology, communicating wirelessly from a first device to a base station of a wide area network using the first variant of resource-spread multiple access technology, reconfiguring the radio air interface to operate in accordance with a second variant of resource-spread code division multiple access technology, and communicating wirelessly with a second device in a mesh network subsequent to reconfiguring the radio. The first device and the second device communicate wirelessly at power levels below a power level threshold selected to cause the base station to ignore transmissions between the first device and the second device.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide for the pairing of an inter-band carrier with a time division duplex (TDD) carrier. If the paired band is a frequency division duplex (FDD) band, then base stations and mobile devices may transmit and receive additional thin control channels on FDD carriers to enable full duplex operations. If the paired band is a TDD band, then a conjugate or inverse carrier may be used such that full duplex, or a close approximation thereto, is achieved. With the introduction of a paired channel and fast control channels, rapid uplink/downlink switching may be achieved for TDD carriers efficiently and effectively. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) operating in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode may receive a wake-up signal indicating that the UE may skip the next ON duration of the DRX cycle, i.e., the UE is instructed to not wake up during a next ON time during the DRX cycle to monitor communication signals, such as data signals or control signals. The UE may be configured to receive downlink (DL) positioning reference signals (PRSs), e.g., during the next ON duration of the DRX cycle. The UE respond to the PRS configuration and the wake-up signal by remaining in DRX sleep mode and not receiving the PRS or transitioning to DRX ON mode to receive the PRS during which the UE may monitor or not monitor communication signals. The location server may receive indications of the wake-up signal configuration and status from a base station or the UE.
Abstract:
A base station performs joint channel estimation for a set of physical uplink control channels (PUCCHs), where one or more PUCCHs of the set of PUCCHs comprises a corresponding DMRS from a user equipment (UE). The UE receives an indication to transmit the set of PUCCHs, one or more PUCCHs of the set of PUCCHs comprising a DMRS from the base station. The base station transmits, and the UE receives, spatial filter or power control information elements for each PUCCH of the set of PUCCHs. The UE transmits the PUCCHs comprising corresponding DMRS based on a same spatial filter with a same power control parameters, spatial filter or power control information element for a first PUCCH of the set of PUCCHs indicating the same spatial filter or same power control parameter, the set of PUCCHs having phase continuity.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a client may select, based at least in part on a classifier, an autoencoder of a set of autoencoders to be used for encoding an observed wireless communication vector to generate a latent vector. The client may transmit the latent vector and an indication of the autoencoder. Numerous other aspects are provided.
