    Abstract: Novel adaptive silencing schemes for device-to-device (D2D) discovery based on loading conditions in a discovery zone are disclosed herein. These adaptive silencing schemes can be used to mitigate interference and data collisions in networks where D2D connections can be formed. In some embodiments, a silencing factor is used to probabilistically determine whether a user equipment (UE) will transmit one or more D2D discovery signals in the discovery zone. Loading conditions in a current discovery zone can be estimated using several different approaches and metrics described herein. The silencing factor can be increased or decreased for a subsequent discovery zone based on the values of one or more of the metrics described herein for the current discovery zone.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may communicate channel state information in a wireless network. The UE may include transceiver circuitry to receive orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) signals from an Enhanced node B (eNB). The UE may include processing circuitry to derive one or more principal eigen beams from the received OFDMA signals. The principal eigen beams may have a rank greater than or equal to one. The processing circuitry may derive quantized eigen beams from the principal eigen beams. The processing circuitry may select, in response to the quantized eigen beams, a subset of available antenna ports on the eNB for receiving from the eNB and transmitting to the eNB. The UE may communicate to the eNB a bit pattern of the quantized eigen beams and at least one of a wideband channel quality indicator (CQI) or a subband CQI conditioned on the quantized eigen beams.
