Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for beam management is disclosed. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI), wherein the TCI is configured for a control channel and a data channel for all bandwidth parts (BWPs) of the UE or all component carriers (CCs) of the UE. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a synchronization signal block (SSB) or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for beam management with a repetition parameter set to “ON” transmitted in one BWP or one CC in a first set of symbols. The UE can be configured to identify, at the UE, a scheduling restriction for the first set of symbols for the control channel and the data channel, wherein the scheduling restriction indicates that downlink transmission in the first set of symbols is not expected.

Abstract: Techniques for improving CSI (Channel State Information) in connection with FD (Full Dimension)-MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) are discussed. A first set of techniques can employ hierarchical cell common class B CSI-RS for improved beam selection. A second set of techniques can provide improved CSI feedback based on eigenvalue(s) and co-phase associated with a precoder. Various embodiments can employ either or both of the first set of techniques and/or the second set of techniques.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to communicate with an one or more extended transmission reception points (TRPs) is disclosed. The UE can signal a transceiver of the UE to simultaneously broadcast two or more transmission beams to establish a connection with one or more of an extended eNodeB or one or more extended transmission reception points (TRP), wherein each extended TRP is connected to the UE via an extended interface with the extended eNodeB. The UE can decode, at the UE, higher layer signaling received from the one or more extended TRPs to form beam association, beam addition, beam release, beam change, or a combination thereof between the UE and the one or more extended TRPs.

An example apparatus of UE may include memory and processing circuitry to configure a MIMO transceiver to establish primary cell transmit and receive channels for communication with an eNodeB, and to receive a secondary cell addition signal that includes a preamble index for a secondary cell. The processing circuitry further configures the MIMO transceiver to receive beam reference signals (BRS), and select one of the BRS from the eNodeB as a secondary cell transmit channel for the secondary cell based on detected BRS receive power. The processing circuitry further configures the MIMO transceiver to provide information for the selected BRS, and provide xPRACH transmissions that include a transmit index to the eNodeB. The processing circuitry further configures the MIMO transceiver to receive selection of one of the xPRACH transmissions as a secondary cell receive channel.
