    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a network to indicate beamforming information to user equipment (UE) for identification and measurement of reference signals. For example, a network may indicate whether all the reference signals are beamformed or not, or which reference signals are using the same transmission beamforming on the time domain, the frequency domain, or both time and frequency domains. In other embodiments, a network may indicate combining or averaging information to a UE.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, an apparatus to be employed in a user equipment (UE) is described. The apparatus includes configuration circuitry operable to determine, based on one or more configuration information messages, a measurement gap for a master evolved Node B (MeNB) that is operable to provide a master cell group (MCG) that is asynchronous with a secondary cell group (SCG) of a secondary evolved Node B (SeNB), wherein subframe boundaries of the MCG are different from subframe boundaries of the SCG; and radio frequency (RF) control circuitry operable to cause RF circuitry to be tuned, at a beginning of the measurement gap based on a subframe boundary of the MCG, to start inter-frequency measurements, wherein the RF circuitry is to be used to transmit or receive data in a serving cell of the MCG and in a serving cell of the SCG. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a user equipment (UE) for reporting of timing offset for dual connectivity enhancement are disclosed herein. The UE can include transceiver circuitry to connect to a master cell group via a master evolved node B (eNB) and a secondary cell group via a secondary eNB. Additionally, the UE can receive a first reference signal from the master eNB and a second reference signal from a secondary eNB. Moreover, the UE can include processing circuitry to calculate a system frame number (SFN) and subframe timing difference (SSTD) based on the first reference signal and the second reference signal. Moreover, the UE can generate a measurement report having a synchronization indicator for dual connectivity based on the calculated SSTD. Subsequently, the UE can send the generated measurement report to the master eNB.

    Abstract: Technologies described herein provide mechanisms for a legacy UE traveling at a high speed (e.g., in a high speed train) to estimate the opposite Doppler shifts separately for different RRHs in an SFN so that the UE can more effectively receive a payload assigned by the SFN. In addition, the present disclosure provides UE signal process mechanisms to improve HST receiver performance such that good demodulation performance can be achieved without significant impacts on UE implementation. The present disclosure provides a specific framework to improve cellular SFN system operation using a combination of an SFN data signal transmissions from different RRHs and orthogonal non-SFN reference signal transmissions from different RRHs. A UE may estimate a propagation channel for each RRH using a reference signal and use this information to improve the demodulation of the combined SFN data signal.

    Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) may receive carrier combinations supported by a Radio Access Network (RAN) node and a list of frequency bands that the RAN node may have the UE measure. The UE may determine all of the possible scenarios of how the carrier combinations may be matched to different sets of frequency bands. For each scenario, the UE may determine the number of effective frequencies based on the quantity of frequency bands in the scenario but only counting frequency bands that the UE may measure in parallel (e.g., at the same time) as a single frequency band. The UE may determine a measurement gap for each component carrier in each scenario, and communicate, to the RAN node, the number of effective frequencies and the measurement gaps for each scenario.

    Abstract: A radio resource management requirement is described for a device-to-device inter-carrier discovery gap. A device to device (D2D) user equipment (UE) interruption requirement can be specified in which the interruption is not allowed. In one example, operations include receiving device-to-device (D2D) discovery data on a D2D discovery data frequency in a receive chain of a user equipment (UE) during a set of subframes, tuning the receive chain of the UE to a wireless access network (WAN) data frequency, and receiving WAN data in the receive chain of the UE on the WAN data frequency from a primary cell (PCell) during the set of subframes, wherein the D2D discovery data is received during a gap in receiving the WAN data without an interruption in the WAN data.

    Abstract: New radio (NR), also known as fifth generation (5G) radio or fifth generation long term evolution (5G LTE)) uses a measurement gap that allows for measurement on different beams, multiple frame structure and inter-radio access technology measurement. For example, in measurement on the different beams, the UE (114) and eNB (304) beam sweep (i.e., change analog beam transmitter). The UE (114) can measure different beams from a fifth generation node B (gNB) and/or other RAN nodes. The measurement gap can be used for intrafrequency/interfrequency measurement when beam specific reference signals (BRSs) are not transmitted in the same subframe. A multiple frame structure can use the specific measurement configuration to utilize the beam resources efficiently. LTE and NR and other interRAT measurement can also use the measurement gap.
