Abstract: Devices and methods of providing symmetric UL and DL ACK/NACKs is generally described. UL ACK/NACKs of different UEs are multiplexed and received by a UE with a PUSCH. The receiving UE in response transmits the DL ACK/NACK. The ACK/NACK may be transmitted in a localized or distributed manner among subbands that may be adjacent or each may have blocks separated by blocks of a different subband. The ACK and NACK may use independent resources or the NACK may not be transmitted on the single ACK/NACK resource, the lack of an ACK serving as a NACK. The ACK/NACK may be transmitted using a beamforming weight shaped by the received PUSCH/PDSCH. The ACK/NACK symbol may be located in the first symbol, adjacent to the PUSCH/PDSCH, or at the end of a TTI. If adjacent, the UL grant or UL assignment may indicate whether the ACK/NACK resource is used by the PUSCH/PDSCH.

Abstract: Technology for decreasing latency for contention based scheduling request (SR) transmission is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can process, for transmission to an enhanced node B (eNB), a DeModulation Reference Signal (DM-RS) that is randomly selected from a set of configured DM-RS sequences or configured by the eNB. The UE can select an SR transmission resource as a function of a DM-RS sequence index or cell identification (ID) based on a predefined mapping rule. The UE can process, for transmission to the eNB, a SR message having a buffer status report (BSR) and UE identification (UE-ID) information on the selected SR transmission resource.

The eNB may comprise hardware processing circuitry to, during a legacy sub-frame, transmit a system information block (SIB) in legacy SIB frequency resources according to a legacy SIB transmission format and refrain from transmission of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS). The hardware processing circuitry may be further to, during a first coverage enhancement sub-frame, transmit a first portion of the SIB in first SIB frequency resources included in the legacy SIB frequency resources. The hardware processing circuitry may be further to, during a first coverage enhancement sub-frame, transmit a first set of CSI-RS in first CSI-RS frequency resources that include at least a portion of the legacy SIB frequency resources.

Abstract: An eNodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and method of providing a flexible Radio Access Technology (FRAT) are generally described. The information (resource allocation, partition information and numerology) of at least one of a plurality of RATs used by the eNB is provided to a UE. Each RAT has a flexible subcarrier spacing and symbol duration, which are integer multiples of a base subcarrier spacing and symbol duration, and is associated with at least one of different temporal and frequency resources. The symbol and/or frame structure of each RAT are independent. A Transmission Time Interval (TTI) boundary between the RATs is common, and the RATs comprise a common reference TTI duration. The information of the RATs is provided either via a different RAT than the RAT used by the UE for communication or via a dedicated carrier in the RAT used by the UE for communication.

Abstract: An apparatus of a base station, system and method. The apparatus includes a memory and processing circuitry configured to: determine a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a first component carrier; encode a first signal to be transmitted on the PDCCH, the first signal including downlink control information (DCI) on resources for a second signal to be transmitted on a second component carrier, wherein the DCI is based on a predetermined numerology, and wherein respective numerologies of the first component carrier and the second component carrier are different from one another. The processing circuitry is further to cause transmission of the first signal on the PDCCH, wherein a receiver of the second signal is to process the second signal based on the control information in the first signal.

Abstract: Devices and methods of beamforming are generally described. A UE transmits to an eNB a BRSRP report having selected BRSRP values and associated BRS IDs. An active link list, a CSI resource indication, and a first active link are used to measure the CSI resource and CSI feedback is sent. A serving link ID is provided to indicate a second active link to use for control and data reception. Rx beams are trained based on multiple instances of each BRS and the eNB supplies selection criteria for the BRSRP report. The Rx beams are refined based on BRRS and the second active link is dependent on BRRSRP or CSI feedback. When configured for dual beam operation, the BRSRP feedback corresponds to BRSRP value pairs and dual Rx beams associated with a pair of serving link IDs are used.
