    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for half-duplex frequency division duplexing (HD-FDD) hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) operation are described. The base station may receive a message from a user equipment (UE) indicative of a duplexing capability of the UE. The base station may then select a HARQ process limit based on the duplexing capability. In some examples, the base station may anticipate a collision between an uplink (UL) transmission and a downlink (DL) subframe based on the selected HARQ process limit. The base station may then schedule a transmission to avoid the anticipated collision. In some examples, the base station may limit a number of configurations available for channel quality indicator (CQI) or a precoding matrix indicator (PMI).

    Abstract: Techniques for efficiently deriving uplink channel estimates without consuming much additional uplink resources are described. A user equipment (UE) may send a request for uplink resources on a request channel (REQCH) whenever the UE desires to transmit data on the uplink. The UE may send the REQCH on a set of subcarriers and from multiple antennas, e.g., send REQCH data on data subcarriers and pilot on pilot subcarriers. A Node B may receive the request, estimate the complex channel gains for the pilot subcarriers based on received pilot symbols, and coherently demodulate received data symbols based on the channel gain estimates. The Node B may estimate the complex channel gains for the data subcarriers based on demodulated data symbols and derive a channel estimate for each UE antenna based on the channel gain estimates for the pilot and data subcarriers. The Node B may use the channel estimates for MIMO scheduling, subband scheduling, and rate selection.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method includes monitoring, by a first base station of a first operator, for clear channel assessment (CCA) exempt transmission (CET) timing information of a second base station of a second operator; identifying transmission timings of CETs of the second base station of the second operator based at least in part on the monitoring; and discontinuing transmissions of the first base station of the first operator during the transmission timings of the CETs of the second base station of the second operator. Transmissions of the second base station of the second operator may be asynchronous to transmissions of the first base station of the first operator.

    Abstract: A method of wireless communication includes configuring a virtual cell identifier (ID) for a user equipment (UE). The method determines a first candidate for an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) for the UE. The method also determines a first virtual cell ID for the first candidate. Furthermore, the method scrambles the ePDCCH based on the first virtual cell ID and transmits, to the UE, the scrambled ePDCCH using the first candidate.

    Abstract: A precoding scheme to accommodate user equipment (UEs) having higher Doppler speeds. In such transmission schemes, a different precoding matrix is applied to each orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) symbol in the transmission stream. Additionally, a downlink control message format is defined to handle assignment of multiple different transmission schemes using the same message format. The downlink control message format includes a control element in one of the message fields along with a set of parameters specifically applicable to the assigned transmission scheme. Based on the value of this control element, the UE sets the specific transmission scheme and determines a set of interpretation rules uniquely associated with that transmission scheme. Using the interpretation rules, the UE is able to read the set of parameters as applied to the selected transmission scheme.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, and computer-program products for improving network loading (e.g., by enabling inter-frequency handover and/or traffic offloading between neighboring base stations). In aspects, the proposed methods may include transmitting a beacon signal on a frequency (e.g., carrier frequency) other than the frequency currently used by a base station. The base station may select a cell identity (ID) and transmit one or more beacon signals on the frequency using the selected cell ID. The beacon signal may be used to decide whether or not to perform an inter-frequency handover.

    Abstract: Soft buffer management is disclosed in which a base station determines a first number of component carriers (CCs) monitored by a user equipment (UE) and determines a second number of CCs for partitioning a soft buffer for storing one or more unsuccessfully decoded data packets, wherein the second number is different than the first number. Various aspects provide for determination of the second number of CCs using clear channel assessment (CCA) clearance information with regard to unlicensed CCs used in the communication system.

    Abstract: Design of channel usage beacon signals (CUBS) in cooperative networks is disclosed. After detecting a clear channel assessment (CCA), a transmitter selects a configuration of a CUBS associated with the transmitter based on the CCA opportunity assigned to the network. The configuration of the CUBS associated with the transmitter may include a set of frequency subcarriers for CUBS transmissions. The transmitter transmits the CUBS according to transmission characteristics based on the CCA opportunity. In additional aspects, randomization may be introduced into the frequency subcarrier allocations of CUBS configurations where the transmitter receives assignment of virtual frequency subcarriers for CUBS transmissions and maps the virtual subcarrier to physical frequency subcarriers for CUBS transmission. Additional aspects allow for pattern offset values to be determined independently from the transmitter cell identifier. In such aspects, the assigned pattern offsets may be cell identifier-independent, while others may be cell identifier-dependent.

    Abstract: Management and distribution of PUCCH resources between first and second eNBs in a CoMP system is disclosed, in which the control and data transmission for a given UE is decoupled. The decoupling of the control and data transmissions allows the first eNB to transmit control information while the second eNB or remote radio head (RRH) transmits data. In such systems, the first eNB communicates a dynamic PUCCH parameter to UEs served in a decoupled manner. The dynamic PUCCH parameter allows the UE to determine uplink communications for the dynamic PUCCH region transmitted to the second eNB in such a position that will not overlap or cause interference with the dynamic PUCCH regions reserved by the first eNB.
