Based on the one or more measurements, the eNB may activate and configure communication with the UE through the unlicensed band.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods using or implementing dynamic resource allocation (DRA) of resources for machine-type communication (MTC), as a secondary partition within a system bandwidth. Allocations outside the secondary partition are configured as a primary partition for other than MTC. Apparatuses may perform MTC communications within the secondary partition when DRA configuration information includes allocation information for the secondary partition and the apparatus is configured for MTC. Otherwise, if the apparatus is other than MTC, the apparatus may refrain from performing communications in the secondary partition. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods using or implementing full-dimension multi-input multi-output (FD-MIMO) and providing collision reduction by transmitting data to an evolved Node-B (eNB) on an uplink (UL) resource; and receiving an acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgment (NACK) on a physical HARQ-ACK indicator channel (PHICH), responsive to transmitting the data on the UL resource. The PHICH may be mapped to a least physical resource block (PRB) that is offset by a PHICH offset. The PHICH offset may include a group offset and a sequence offset relative to a transport block (TB) index and first PRB index of a corresponding uplink shared channel. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: An eNodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and method for operating in enhanced coverage (EC) modes are generally described. The UE may receive one or more physical broadcast channel (PBCH) signals, dependent on whether the UE is in a normal coverage mode or in one of the EC modes. The PBCH signal may be combined to form a combined PBCH signal, when the UE is in an EC mode, and decoded to determine one of a plurality of sets of resource regions associated different EC modes for communication with the eNB. The signal may be scrambled using a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) dependent on at least one of a signal type of the control signal and the EC mode. Paging and the system information block (SIB) signals in a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) may be decoded without decoding a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signal associated with the PDSCH.

Abstract: Technology described herein addresses symmetric uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) designs that can be applied to both uplink and downlink transmissions. A symmetric UL/DL design can define a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) format with control channels and data channels multiplexed using Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) or Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) to partition the control channels and the data channels within a Transmission Time Interval (TTI). A unified waveform can be applied to both UL and DL transmissions. Several Demodulation Reference Signal (DM-RS) designs are also described. A hybrid mode for UL transmissions is also described.

Abstract: Devices and methods of reducing overall Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) of user equipment (UE) using a large amount of carrier aggregation are generally described. The UE may receive a subframe from an enhanced NodeB (eNB). The subframe may contain a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) formed in accordance with a Downlink Control information (DCI) format. The DCI format may comprise a Downlink Assignment Index (DAI) for Time Division Duplexed (TDD) and Frequency Division Duplexed (FDD) operation. The UE may determine, dependent on the DAI, a number and ordering of Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) bits to be transmitted on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) and subsequently transmit the HARQ-ACK bits.

Abstract: Embodiments of a machine-type communication (MTC) User Equipment (UE) and methods for configuring a MTC UE using an evolved Node B (eNB) are generally described herein. A method for configuring a UE for communication performed by circuitry of an evolved Node B (eNB) may include broadcasting, from the eNB, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission on a licensed band, transmitting, from the eNB to the UE, a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) transmission multiplexed with a machine-type communication (MTC) PBCH (M-PBCH) transmission, the M-PBCH transmission including a MTC master information block (M-MIB) in a MTC region of the licensed band, wherein the MTC region includes a subset of frequencies of the licensed band, and transmitting, from the eNB to the UE, a first data transmission on the MTC region in a downlink.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to a communication between a user equipment (UE) and an evolved Node B (eNB). The UE and eNB may perform enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH)-less operation for scheduling of one or more common control messages, such as one or more system information blocks (SIBs), a random access response (RAR) message, or a paging message. Additionally, or alternatively, an eNB may configure a subset of aggregation levels for the search space of the UE to use for receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or enhanced PDCCH (EPDCCH). Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
