Abstract:
Uplink power control techniques for ultra low latency in Long Term Evolution (LTE) devices are presented. For example, an example method for transmission power control is described that includes determining that a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission are scheduled for transmission during a symbol of a subframe. In an aspect, the first uplink transmission has a first transmission time interval (TTI) and a first transmission power and the second uplink transmission has a second TTI, the second TTI being different from the first TTI, and a second transmission power. Furthermore, the method may include determining that a power limitation condition is met for one or both of the first transmission power or the second transmission power and adjusting one or both of the first transmission power or the second transmission power based on a determination that the power limitation condition is met.
Abstract:
Certain aspects relate to methods and apparatus for latency reduction for UEs in a RRC connected mode. During contention-based uplink access by groups of UEs within a subframe, an eNB may decode the received uplink transmission based, at least in part, on the assigned group of resources assigned to the UE and used for transmission. Additional orthogonalization techniques such as reduced TTI size can be used to reduce collisions among different users performing contention-based transmissions. Furthermore, when the eNB fails to successfully decode the uplink transmission, the eNB may identify the UE that sent the uplink transmission based on a detected reference signal and may transmit an uplink assignment to the identified UE.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides for control plane measurements in a wireless device. The wireless device may perform, on signals received over an unlicensed spectrum across multiple sub-frames, radio resource management (RRM) measurements of a cell. The wireless device may identify one or both of a first subset of the RRM measurements associated with a first subset of the sub-frames including opportunistic transmissions and a second subset of the RRM measurements associated with a second subset of the sub-frames including guaranteed transmissions. The wireless device may determine one or more RRM measurement values based on one or both of the first subset of the RRM measurements and the second subset of the RRM measurements. The wireless device may similarly perform radio link management (RLM) measurements and determine RLM measurement values based on the first and second subsets. The wireless device may also use timers for uplink transmissions to detect radio link failures.
Abstract:
Aspects described herein relate to communicating feedback in a wireless network. An indication to communicate feedback for a plurality of subframes to an access network node can be received from the access network node. A plurality of process identifiers related to transport blocks received in the plurality of subframes can be determined. Feedback for the plurality of process identifiers received in the plurality of subframes can be grouped, and the grouped feedback and/or a feedback tag indicative of the plurality of subframes can be transmitted to the access network node.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for controlling transmission power in shared radio frequency spectrum (SRFS). According to techniques, devices (e.g., BSs, UEs, etc.) transmitting in SRFS band may win contention to the SRFS band for at least a portion of a radio frame period. For example, the radio frame period may include a plurality of subframe periods. The devices may also transmit a first signal at a first transmit power during a first subframe period of the radio frame period and transmit a second signal at a second transmit power during a second subframe period of the radio frame period. For example, the first transmit power and second transmit power may be controlled based, at least in part, on a power level determined for the radio frame period.
Abstract:
Certain aspects relate to techniques and apparatus for network synchronization by network listening. Aspects include transmitting a synchronization signal for a base station (BS) to use for acquiring synchronization with the network. Aspects include listening for a synchronization signal from a BS to use for acquiring network synchronization. In aspects, a method for wireless communications by a BS is provided. The method generally includes acquiring synchronization with a network based on a first synchronization signal transmitted from a primary BS or a secondary BS, determining a synchronization stratum for the BS based on whether the BS acquired synchronization with the network from the primary BS or from the secondary BS, and transmitting a second synchronization signal for one or more other BS s to use for acquiring synchronization with the network, wherein the transmitting is based, at least in part on the determined synchronization stratum.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines whether one or more criteria for triggering interference cancellation in a homogeneous network are satisfied. The apparatus transmits a signal to a UE to control triggering the interference cancellation at the UE if the one or more criteria are satisfied.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receives synchronization signals and an information block from a first base station. The information block includes information indicating whether the first base station is in a dormant state or an active state. The UE detects the first base station based on the received synchronization signals and on the information indicating whether the first base station is in the dormant state or the active state. The UE may receive, from a second base station, an indication of resources for detecting the first base station. The synchronization signals and the information block may be received in the indicated resources. The UE may move to the first base station from a second base station in a handoff from the second base station to the first base station.
