Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to techniques for power efficient operation of LTE MTC. A method is provided wireless communications by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes signaling information regarding traffic requirements for the UE to a base station (BS) for use in persistent scheduling (PS), receiving signaling from the BS indicating PS opportunities of traffic for the UE, powering on the radio components for the PS opportunities, and powering down radio components between PS opportunities when traffic is not expected.
Abstract:
To avoid or reduce intra-cell interference, each sector of a cell is associated with a sector-specific set of system resources (e.g., subbands) and at least one non-overlapping common set of system resources. Each common set for each sector includes system resources observing little or no interference from at least one other sector in the cell. The channel condition for a terminal in a given sector x is ascertained based on forward and/or reverse link measurements for the terminal. The terminal is assigned system resources from a common set or a sector-specific set for sector x based on the terminal's channel condition. For example, if the terminal observes high interference from another sector y, then the terminal is assigned system resources from a common set that observes little or no interference from sector y. The techniques may be used for an OFDMA system that uses frequency hopping.

Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for sounding reference signal (SRS) management for a line-of-sight multiple-input multiple-output (LSM) mode. A receiving device may receive a configuration of a persistent or semi-persistent SRS resource set that configures a first number of SRS ports for a full spatial sounding mode. The receiving device may transmit a SRS on a partial sounding resource subset of the SRS resource set, the partial sounding resource subset corresponding to a partial sounding LSM mode. A transmitting device such as a base station may performing phase ramp interpolation for the partial sounding LSM mode to estimate a LSM channel between the base station and the first receiving device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of one or more rules for wireless communications on an outdoor network deployment using a licensed spectrum that includes an overlapping frequency band with respect to an unlicensed spectrum used for wireless communications on an indoor network, wherein the one or more rules facilitate coexistence between the indoor network and the outdoor network deployment. The UE may perform the wireless communications on the outdoor network deployment in accordance with the one or more rules.
Abstract:
A positioning reference signal measurement method includes: receiving, at a user equipment from a network entity, an OFDM PRS (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing positioning reference signal) comprising a first set of first OFDM symbols that are consecutive and include a first center symbol and at least one pair of first side symbols disposed symmetrically about the first center symbol and having identical resource element sounding patterns; combining the first side symbols in each of the at least one pair of first side symbols to produce at least one first combined symbol; and determining a measurement of the OFDM PRS based on the at least one first combined symbol and the first center symbol.
Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for reducing the overhead of low layer positioning reports. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) performs at least one positioning measurement of at least one downlink positioning reference signal (DL-PRS) received from at least one transmission-reception point (TRP) during a positioning session, and reports, to a positioning entity via low layer signaling, a relative value of the at least one positioning measurement relative to an expected value of the at least one positioning measurement, wherein the relative value of the at least one positioning measurement is a difference between the expected value of the at least one positioning measurement and a measured value of the at least one positioning measurement.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitted may use a closed loop precoder for line-of-sight (LOS) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications that uses information such as distance feedback or LOS MIMO channel state feedback. A closed loop precoder may be associated with less overhead than a precoder based on full channel knowledge, such as an SVD precoder. A receiver may estimate a channel based on channel state information reference signals transmitted by the transmitter and calculate a spectral efficiency for one or more precoders of a set of precoders associated with the channel for a LOS MIMO mode. The receiver may send feedback to the transmitter that indicates a selected precoder of the set of LOS MIMO precoders based on the calculated spectral efficiencies. The transmitter may precode messages using the reported closed loop precoder.
