Abstract:
Embodiments of wireless communication devices and methods for device discovery is generally described herein. Some of these embodiments describe an apparatus having processing circuitry arranged to configure a single-tone discovery signal for transmission in a symbol in a transmission opportunity based on an assignment pattern. The assignment pattern may define frequency positions, for a set of transmission opportunities, at which the apparatus shall transmit discovery signals in the corresponding transmission opportunity. The apparatus may have physical layer circuitry arranged to transmit the single-tone discovery signal in the corresponding transmission opportunity. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
Abstract:
A device includes a transceiver to receive, from a base station, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission and processing circuitry to classify downlink (DL) subframe types for a set of DL subframes associated with a first uplink (UL) subframe for transmission of a hybrid automatic report request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) and perform physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources mapping based on the classified DL subframe Types for an acknowledgement transmission associated with PDSCH transmission reception.
Abstract:
A technology is disclosed for a user equipment (UE) that is operable to dynamically change an uplink/downlink (UL/DL) configuration in a communications network. A radio resource control (RRC) connection can be requested with an enhanced node B (eNode B). A UE Capability Information information element (IE) can be communicated to the eNode B to indicate an enhanced interference mitigation and traffic adaptation (eIMTA) capability of the UE to support an eIMTA time duplex domain (TDD) UL/DL reconfiguration functionality. An eIMTA configuration information can be received at the UE information within a RRCConnectionSetup message or a RRCConnectionReconfiguration message.
Abstract:
Systems and methods provide component carrier management in carrier aggregation systems. A medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) includes an activation/deactivation MAC subheader and an activation/deactivation MAC control element (CE). A plurality of configured carriers are categorized into at least one cell group. Configured secondary cells (SCells) are activated/deactivated according to the activation/deactivation MAC subheader and the activation/deactivation MAC CE.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) for time division duplex (TDD) communication through a wireless communication channel has a receiver to receive a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) subframe configuration value, a CSI-RS configuration value, and a CSI-RS; and circuitry to determine a subframe index corresponding to a temporal position of a special subframe including the CSI-RS; determine a CSI-RS pattern of one or more orthogonal frequency division modulation (OFDM) resource elements carrying the CSI-RS, the pattern being from among a group of CSI-RS patterns that include OFDM resource elements in OFDM symbols corresponding to a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) region of a legacy LTE wireless communication channel; control the receiver to receive the special subframe carrying the CSI-RS during the temporal position and at the one or more OFDM resource elements of the CSI-RS pattern; and measure the wireless communication channel based on the CSI-RS.

Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatuses related to receiving one or more indications of time division duplex (TDD) uplink/downlink (UL/DL) configurations for two consecutive radio frames. Based on the indications of the TDD UL/DL configurations, a reference TDD UL/DL configuration may be identified for one or more Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) processes.

Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus may be configured to receive a first scheduling request transmission for a first cell group, and a second scheduling request transmission for a second cell group, determine one of the first scheduling request and the second scheduling request to have a higher priority and another one of the first scheduling request and the second scheduling request to have a lower priority, and process the scheduling request having a higher priority without processing the scheduling request having a lower priority. An apparatus may be configured to combine a configuration of a first scheduling request for a first cell group and a second configuration of a second scheduling request for a secondary cell group in a system radio bearer, and transmit the SRB to a user equipment to process the first scheduling request and the second scheduling request.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods and apparatuses for UE capability reporting in mobile communication systems. UE capability reporting in LTE with high number of CCs (32) creates a great signalling overhead. An enhanced network enquiry message (UECapabilityEnquiry) is proposed which includes indications (e.g. maximum aggregated CC number or bandwidth class, MIMO/CSI-process capabilities) that indicate to a UE that the UE is to exclude, from its capability report (UECapabilityInformation), information related to functions that the network either does not support or is not interested in. The enhanced network enquiry message may include indications of a max. number of DL/UL CCs for which the UE is requested to provide supported CA band combinations and non-CA bands. The UE selects a subset of CA capabilities based on these indicator and generates a UE capability response (UECapabilityInformation) including information related to the selected subset of CA capabilities.
Abstract:
Embodiments relates to a user equipment for wireless communication; the user equipment comprising logic to: allocate a first resource for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); process received signalling comprising an indication of an Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) resource mapping mode on the PUSCH; and determine resource elements for transmitting ACK/NACK information based, at least in part, on the first resource block for transmitting the PUSCH and the received ACK/NACK resource mapping mode on the PUSCH; and transmit the ACK/NACK information on the determined resource elements.
