    Abstract: In one example, a user equipment capable to establish a communication connection with a network entity, the user equipment comprising processing circuitry to receive, from a network entity, a primary synchronization signal (xPSS) and a beamforming reference signal (xBRS) transmitted using beamforming sweeping, identify at least one suitable transmission beamforming pattern from the network entity, transmit, to the network entity, an identifier associated with the at least one suitable beamforming pattern for a downlink signal, transmit, to the network entity, an uplink transmission of the physical random access channel (PRACH) transmitted using beamforming sweeping, receive, from the user equipment, a signal comprising an identifier associated with the at least one suitable beamforming pattern in the uplink transmission, and use the at least one suitable beamforming pattern in subsequent communication with the network equipment. Other examples are also disclosed and claimed.

    Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and apparatuses for padding and decoding coding for a HE-SIG-B field are disclosed. An apparatus of an access point or station is disclosed. The apparatus is configured to determine a number of symbols of a longest high-efficiency signal B (HE-SIG-B) field of a plurality of HE-SIG-B fields. The processing circuitry may be further configured to encode a plurality of HE-SIG A fields to comprise a number of symbols of a longest HE-SIG-B field of the plurality of HE-SIG-B fields each HE-SIG-A field. The processing circuitry may be further configured to encode each of the HE-SIG-B fields of the plurality of HE-SIG-B fields to comprise a common block and a number of user blocks, and if a number of symbols to encode the common block and the number of user blocks is less than the number of symbols of the longest HE-SIG-B field, encode a duplicate portion.

    Abstract: Devices for and methods of synchronous beam refinement using a beam refinement reference signal (BRRS) are generally described. In one example embodiment, a UE receives BRRS information indicating switching of a Tx beam. The UE then uses this information to switch an associated Rx beam. In some embodiments, timing information is used to match the switching times. In some embodiments, DCI and CSI-RS operations are used to determine switching for the synchronous beam refinement.

    Abstract: Provided herein are method and apparatus for perform radio link monitoring (RLM) based on a Reference signal (RS). An embodiment provides a user Equipment (UE) comprising circuitry configured to: decode a Reference Signal (RS) received from an access node; and determine beam quality for one or more beam pair links (BPLs) of the RS between the UE and the access node based on the decoded RS, wherein each of the BPLs comprises a transmit (Tx) beam of the access node and a receive (Rx) beam of the UE. Also provided is a procedure of RLM. At least some embodiments allow for beam recovery request for UE beam refinement, and allow for determining whether radio link failure (RLF) occurs.

    Abstract: Technology for decreasing latency for contention based scheduling request (SR) is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can randomly select a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble index for a PRACH transmission. The UE can multiplex the PRACH preamble index together with a SR message containing a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) and a buffer status report (BSR) for the PRACH transmission. The UE can process, for transmission, to an enhanced node B (eNB), the PRACH preamble index multiplexed with the SR message in a subframe #(n) of the PRACH transmission, wherein n is a subframe number.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods using or implementing full-dimension multi-input multi-output (FD-MIMO) and providing collision reduction by transmitting data to an evolved Node-B (eNB) on an uplink (UL) resource; and receiving an acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgment (NACK) on a physical HARQ-ACK indicator channel (PHICH), responsive to transmitting the data on the UL resource. The PHICH may be mapped to a least physical resource block (PRB) that is offset by a PHICH offset. The PHICH offset may include a group offset and a sequence offset relative to a transport block (TB) index and first PRB index of a corresponding uplink shared channel. Other embodiments are described.
