Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to communicating using multiple connectivity in a wireless network. A device can communicate with first cell served by a first access point over a first connection and with a second cell served by a second access point over a second connection. Moreover, the device can determine whether to perform a half-duplex operation or a full-duplex operation for communicating with the first cell served by the first access point over the first connection. The device can further determine whether to perform a half-duplex operation or a full-duplex operation for communicating with the second cell served by the second access point over the second connection.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes configuring a small cell with activation parameters. The activation parameters include a new carrier type having a reduced periodicity. The method also includes configuring a UE with time restricted measurements. The time restricted measurements correspond to the new carrier type and the reduced periodicity. The method further includes receiving small cell signal measurements from the UE and initiating an activation sequence in response to the small cell signal measurements.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide procedures for managing secondary eNB (SeNB) radio link failure (S-RLF) in dual connectivity scenarios. A user equipment (UE) may establish communication with a Master Evolved Node B (MeNB) and a Secondary eNB (SeNB). The UE may detect a Radio Link Failure (RLF) of a connection with the SeNB and may transmit an indication of the RLF to the MeNB, in response to the detection. The MeNB may take at least one action to manage the RLF, in response to receiving the indication of the RLF, for example, including transmitting a reconfiguration command to the UE. The SeNB may also detect the RLF and transmit an indication of the RLF to the MeNB over a backhaul connection, in response to the detection.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for enhanced physical broadcast channel (PBCH) for new carrier type (NCT) in long term evolution (LTE). According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications by a base station (BS) is provided. The method generally includes generating an enhanced physical broadcast channel (EPBCH) using a frequency division multiplexed (FDM) structure, wherein the EPBCH spans substantially a subframe duration and transmitting the EPBCH.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication is presented for an enhanced new carrier type cell. The method includes transmitting downlink common signals and channels at a low duty cycle while in a dormant state. The method also includes transmitting downlink common signals and channels at a high duty cycle while in an active state.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives an LDCS configuration for a UE relay from a second entity and monitors for an LDCS from the UE relay based on the received LDCS configuration. The second entity may comprise one of an LPN that is not in a dormant state and a Macro cell. The apparatus may receive LDCS configurations for a plurality of LPNs and monitor for a plurality of LPNs based on the received LDCS configurations. When the apparatus determines a need to connect to a LPN, the apparatus may select an LPN among the plurality of LPNs.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus identifies a UE relay and transmits a very low duty cycle signal (LDCS) configuration of the UE relay. The apparatus may comprise, e.g., an LPN that is not in a dormant state or a macrocell. The apparatus may receive LDCS information for the UE relay. The apparatus may determine the LDCS configuration and transmit the LDCS configuration to the UE relay.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus transitions to a dormant state and transmits a very low duty cycle signal (LDCS) while in the dormant state. The apparatus may transmit an LDCS configuration to a second entity, the second entity being one of an LPN that is not in a dormant state and a macro cell. The apparatus may further monitor for a RACH messages at a predetermined RACH delay after transmitting the LDCS. The apparatus may transition to a DRX/DTX mode. The DRX/DTX mode may be matched to at least one connected UE.
Abstract:
Some aspects described herein relate to transmitting, by a first user equipment (UE), a cooperation discovery signal related to cooperative communication, and receiving, from one or more second UEs and in response to the cooperation discovery signal, a request to connect with the first UE for cooperative communication. Other aspects relate to receiving the cooperation discovery signal and transmitting the request in response to the cooperation discovery signal.
Abstract:
Aspects relate to sharing a channel occupancy time (COT) initiated by a network access node (e.g., a base station) with one or more wireless communication devices for sidelink communication between the wireless communication devices. In this example, the network access node can transmit a COT structure indication (COT-SI) to the wireless communication device(s) indicating the COT resources (e.g., time and frequency resources) of the COT that may be shared with sidelink. In some examples, the wireless communication device can receive a message from the network access node including a COT sharing indicator indicating whether COT sidelink sharing is enabled or disabled.
