    Abstract: The embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for configuring an reflecting surface. A method by a base station comprises: receiving at least one discovery signal from the reflecting surface; estimating a direction of a panel of the reflecting surface for transmission and reception using at least one spatial information based on the received at least one discovery signal; identifying a set of beam formed reference signals transmitted in the direction of the panel of the reflecting surface; and configuring at least one reference signal to the reflecting surface based on the identified set of beam formed reference signals.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining beam search space by a user equipment (UE), including determining a geo-location of a base station and a geo-location of the UE at a current time instance, determining a relative angle of reception from the base station based on the geo-location of the base station and the geo-location of the UE at the current time instance, determining a beam search space comprising a plurality of beams, for measurement, centered at the relative angle of reception, and determining an optimal beam from within the beam search space based on the measurement of the plurality of beams in the beam search space.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE).The present disclosure provides a method and system for enabling discontinuous reception (DRX) over an unlicensed band in cellular networks. In one embodiment, the method comprises of monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), an unlicensed channel at a pre-configured on period of a DRX cycle, wherein the UE wakes up during a DRX on period and sleeps during DRX off period, receiving an indication of extension of the DRX on period from an associated evolved node B (eNB) when the associated eNB is unable to acquire an unlicensed channel during a DRX on period of the licensed channel and continuously monitoring the unlicensed band for the extended DRX on period. The time period for extension of the DRX on period of the unlicensed channel is selected from a set of pre-specified extension values. The present disclosure further enables the UE to terminate monitoring of the DRX on period of the unlicensed channel upon receiving a stop monitoring indication from the associated eNB.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide methods and systems for achieving D2D communications through unlicensed spectrum. The D2D-U operations can be achieved through multiple approaches. In the first approach, the devices can communicate with each other without any involvement of network. In the second approach, the network provides partial assistance to the devices such as allocating time and frequency resources for D2D-U communication. In the third approach, the network completely controls D2D-U operations between the devices. The embodiments include allocating time and frequency resources for transmission of PSBCH, PSDCH, PSCCH, and PSSCH. The allocations of the time and frequency resources meet regulatory requirements of minimum bandwidth utilization for unlicensed band operation. The embodiments include distributing power in narrow frequency sub-bands of D2D-U spectrum, in order to maximize transmission range of D2D-U communications.
