    Abstract: Embodiments described herein include devices, methods, and instructions for managing beam interpolation in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications. In one example embodiment, an evolved node B is configured to transmit to a UE using massive MIMO by transmitting multiple beamformed reference signals on multiple transmission beams each associated with a different plurality of antennas. The eNB receives beam interpolation information back from the UE, and then generates a data transmission that is sent to the UE using an interpolated transmission beam from a first and second transmission beam.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), an Evolved Node-B (eNB), and methods for communication of uplink messages are generally described herein. The UE may receive, from an eNB, one or more downlink control messages that may indicate an allocation of PUCCH channel resources. The UE may transmit an uplink control message in at least a portion of the allocated PUCCH channel resources. When the PUCCH channel resources are allocated according to an edge configuration, the PUCCH channel resources may be restricted to a lower edge portion and an upper edge portion of the network channel resources. When the PUCCH channel resources are allocated according to a distributed configuration, the PUCCH channel resources may include one or more middle portions of the network channel resources. The middle portions may be exclusive to the lower edge and upper edge portions.

    Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) configured to perform beam failure recovery. The UE can encode a beam failure recovery (BFR) request for transmission on a physical random-access channel (PRACH) or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to a next generation node B (gNB). The UE can monitor a dedicated physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) control resource set (CORESET) for a response from the gNB to the beam failure recovery request. The UE can select a default physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) beam, wherein it is assumed, at the UE that a same quasi co-location (QCL) assumption for a PDSCH as a QCL assumption for the dedicated PDCCH CORESET; or a PDSCH demodulation reference signal (DMRS) is QCLed with a downlink (DL) reference signal (RS) of an identified candidate beam by the UE. The UE can decode a beam failure recovery request response from the gNB.

    Abstract: Apparatus that sends uplink control information (UCI) from user equipment (UE) to a network node, generates elements of the UCI including at least one of hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback for one or more uplink (UL) resources, a scheduling request (SR), a channel state information (CSI) report and a beam related information report in response to a trigger set by the network node. The apparatus encodes the UCI elements for transmission via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the one or more UL resources. The one or more UL resources may be UL slots or UL portions of downlink-uplink (DL-UL) slots received from a network node.

    Abstract: An apparatus of a wireless communication device operable to communicate channel state information in a wireless network can include memory and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is arranged to derive one or more principal eigen beams from received Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) signals, the one or more principal eigen beams having a rank greater than or equal to one. Quantized eigen beams may be derived from the one or more principal eigen beams. A bit pattern of the quantized eigen beams and at least one of a wideband channel quality indicator (CQI) or a subband CQI may be conditioned on the quantized eigen beams. Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) may be encoded with the conditioned bit pattern for transmission to an Evolved Node-B (eNB) in the wireless network.

    Abstract: An arrangement configured to be employed within a user equipment (UE). The arrangement includes control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) during a data transmission with an evolved Node B (eNodeB), generate a clear channel indicator (CCI) based on the CCA, orthogonally multiplex an acknowledgement (ACK)/negative acknowledgement (NACK) with the CCI, where different sequences are allocated to the CCI and/or different resource block (RB) resources are allocated to the CCI, code and modulate a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) using the multiplexed ACK/NACK, and provide the PUCCH having the CCI within the data transmission.
