Abstract:
Generally discussed herein are systems, apparatuses, and methods that can provide a coverage enhancement to a coverage limited device. According to an example a method can include repeating a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) data transmission multiple times over multiple sub-frames to a coverage limited Machine Type Communication (MTC) User Equipment (UE), or repeating the PBCH data transmission two or three times within one sub-frame to the coverage limited MTC UE.
Abstract:
Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which reuse existing LTE functionality to rapidly signal UEs on the availability of a LTE-U cell. Using these techniques the on/off operation can be in the order of a few milliseconds (ms). Several techniques are disclosed herein, including use of component carrier (CC) specific Discontinuous Reception (DRX) signaling, PDCCH signaling, DL assignment based signaling, Physical Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Indicator Channel (PHICH) signaling, Beacon signaling, and the like.
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein relate generally to a device that is to transmit signals using a control channel. The device may be, for example, a user equipment or low-powered radio access node. Before transmitting the signal, the transmitting device may modify symbols associated with the signal. For example, the transmitting device may generate a scrambling sequence and modulate the symbols associated with the signal with the scrambling sequence. In another example, the transmitting device may apply a shifting pattern or hopping pattern to the sequence indices associated with sequences for symbols to be included in the signal. The applied pattern may change one or more sequence indices associated with one or more symbol indices associated with the signal. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for mitigating interference in wireless networks. Various embodiments may include signaling of control channel information associated with an interfering cell and utilization of the control channel information to mitigate interference. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for communicating in a wireless network include provision of interfering signal characteristics information including parameters used in a coding procedure used to encode at least one interfering signal to a user equipment to facilitate suppression of the at least one interfering signal present in a downlink signal being received at the user equipment.
Abstract:
Compact Downlink Control Information (DCI) format designs reduced the overhead of Physical Downlink Control Channels (PDCCHs) are provided. The compact DCI format designs may include using the extended RBGs size reduces the Resource Block Assignment (RBA) field of DCI; using modified format of extended Carrier Indicator Field (CIF) field supports numerous Component Carriers (CCs); making several CC-specific information field within DCI formats be common achieves a fast CCs activation/deactivation; and one or multiple DCI contents which need to be applied for different CCs are concatenated in a DCI.
