Abstract:
A base station in a cellular wireless communications system uses one or more control algorithms to control a transmission pattern of a 1×RTT or DO discovery beacon. The transmission pattern enables access terminals using any one of multiple wake-up periods and wake-up offsets to discover all macrocell frequencies in a finite amount of time. In addition, for base stations allocating a single transmit chain to both 1×RTT and DO beacons, the transmission pattern enables a definite maximum discovery time for both 1×RTT and DO beacons for all access terminals entering the base station coverage.
Abstract:
A system for self-configuration of power control parameters based on path-loss is operable by a network entity that determines a default power parameter for an access terminal. The network entity determines a path-loss difference between a first path-loss for the access terminal to a serving cell and a second path-loss for the access terminal to a neighboring cell. A power control parameter is determined based on the default power parameter and the pass-loss difference. A system for self-configuration of power control parameters based on downlink power is operable by a network entity that determines a default power parameter for an access terminal. The network entity determines a downlink power difference between a downlink power of a serving cell and a downlink power of a neighboring cell. A power control parameter is determined based on the default power parameter, the downlink power difference.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for optimizing resource usage by a network entity that detects a first channel condition for a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second channel condition for a second RAT. The network entity determines whether the first channel condition comprises a higher interference level than the second channel condition and also determines power consumption constraints. If the first channel condition comprises a higher interference level than the second channel condition, the network entity reassigns at least one antenna from the first RAT to the second RAT based at least in part on the power consumption constraints. In some embodiments, systems and methods are also provided for determining whether an access point serving an access terminal is a large cell base station or a small cell base station and determining a power management action for the access terminal.
Abstract:
A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes receiving timing information and a time-frequency resource configuration for an uplink subframe; selecting at least a first set of time-frequency resources of the uplink subframe on which to transmit; and transmitting a grantless transmission on at least the first set of time-frequency resources. The time-frequency resource configuration identifies a correspondence between at least one receive beam in a set of one or more receive beams and at least one set of time-frequency resources in one or more sets of time-frequency resources of the uplink subframe. The first set of time-frequency resources is selected based at least in part on a transmit beam of the UE, a correspondence of the transmit beam to a receive beam in the set of one or more receive beams, and a correspondence of the receive beam to the selected first set of time-frequency resources.

One method includes identifying a listen-before-talk (LBT) silencing criterion between each pair of wireless devices in a plurality of wireless devices; dividing the plurality of wireless devices into a plurality of independent sets based at least in part on the identified LBT silencing criterions; determining, for a location, an aggregated interference value for each independent set; determining an aggregated interference value for the location based at least in part on the determined aggregated interference values for each independent set; and selectively adjusting a wireless communication parameter of at least one of the wireless devices to alter the aggregated interference value for the location.
Abstract:
Techniques for intra- and inter-operator coordination on a shared communication medium are disclosed. A central coordination server may send an operating mode information message to coordinate operation of different points on the communication medium. An access point may receive such an operating mode information message and adjust one or more communication parameters. An access point may determine a level of timing synchronization with neighboring access points and send a synchronization advertisement message to an access terminal. An access terminal may receive a synchronization advertisement message and perform one or more measurements of the neighboring access points.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may configure bursts of synchronization signal (SS) blocks for discovery reference signal (DRS) transmission. The base station may transmit an SS block set in an SS burst according to a beam sweep pattern, which may be repeated for a subsequent SS block set. The base station may configure a number of SS block sets in each SS burst and transmit each SS block in an SS block set using a different beam. Each SS burst may be transmitted according to a different beam sweep pattern and the base station may repeat transmission of SS bursts according to a DRS repetition periodicity. A user equipment (UE) may sweep through antenna sub-arrays during reception of an SS burst to determine a suitable sub-array for communication.
