    Abstract: Embodiments of an evolved Node B (eNB) and methods for determining priority values for User Equipment (UE) are generally described herein. A method performed by circuitry of an eNB may include receiving, at the eNB, a usage report from the UE. The usage report may include information indicating a channel usage time and a transmission power of the UE. The method may include determining, using the usage report, a priority value for the UE. The method may include sending the priority value to the UE, wherein the UE is to utilize the priority value to perform distributed scheduling of device-to-device (D2D) communication over a D2D connection with a second UE.

    Abstract: Embodiments of enabling a secondary cell in a massive MIMO system are generally described herein. An example apparatus of UE may include memory and processing circuitry to configure a MIMO transceiver to establish primary cell transmit and receive channels for communication with an eNodeB, and to receive a secondary cell addition signal that includes a preamble index for a secondary cell. The processing circuitry further configures the MIMO transceiver to receive beam reference signals (BRS), and select one of the BRS from the eNodeB as a secondary cell transmit channel for the secondary cell based on detected BRS receive power. The processing circuitry further configures the MIMO transceiver to provide information for the selected BRS, and provide xPRACH transmissions that include a transmit index to the eNodeB. The processing circuitry further configures the MIMO transceiver to receive selection of one of the xPRACH transmissions as a secondary cell receive channel.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for CSI reporting in the unlicensed band are described. CRS-RSs are transmitted from a RAN in narrowband data channels in the unlicensed band to an eMTC UE. The UE determines the CQI and PMI from the CRS-RSs and transmits a periodic CSI report to the RAN that contains the CQI and PMI. The periodic CSI report is received at a nsfrel th subframe of a nmframeth mframe, where nmframe satisfies nmframe mod Npd,mframe=NOFFSET,mframe where Nmframe is a reporting period in terms of mframes and NOFFSET,mframe is a reporting period offset in terms of mframes, and nsfrel satisfies nsfrel−20=NOFFSET,CQI where NOFFSET,CQI is a reporting period offset in subframes.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of beam reporting for multiple DL processes are described. A UE receives a beam management processes configuration that provides information about beam management reference signals for beam management procedures. The UE transmits a UE capability report that indicates beam management capabilities of the UE and, later, an indication of whether the UE intends to engage in beam refinement. The UE measures the beam management reference signals and receives a beam reporting message that indicates at least one of the beam management procedures to report. In response, the UE transmits the beam report. The beam report contains beam management reference signal measurements of the beam management procedures indicated by the beam reporting message.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods for reference signal design for initial acquisition, by receiving a first primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a first secondary synchronization signal (SSS) from a first transmit (Tx) beam, in first contiguous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of a downlink subframe. A UE can receive at least a second PSS and a second SSS from a second Tx beam in contiguous OFDM symbols of the downlink subframe. A UE can then detect beamforming reference signals (BRSs) corresponding to the first Tx beam and the second Tx beam, based on identification of physical cell ID information and timing information processed from the first PSS, the second PSS, the first SSS, and the second SSS. The UE can select the first Tx beam or the second Tx beam that was received with the highest power, based on the BRSs. Other embodiments are described.

    Abstract: Devices and methods of using xSS are generally disclosed. A UE receives an xPSS with (Nrep) symbols each with a subcarrier spacing of K×a PSS subcarrier spacing and a duration of a PSS symbol/K. PSD subcarriers surround the xPSS and the ZC sequence is punctured to avoid transmission on a DC subcarrier. Guard subcarriers separate the xPSS and PSD when the ZC sequence is less than the occupied BW of the xPSS and at least one element in the ZC sequence is punctured for xPSS symbol generation otherwise. One or more xSSSs and xS-SCHs may follow the xPSS. The xSS may be omnidirectional, each having a same xPSS and different xSSS or xS-SCH or a different xPSS and same xSSS or xS-SCH or beamformed, each having different xPSSs and xSSSs or xS-SCHs or a same xPSS and different xSSS or xS-SCH.
