Abstract:
Dynamically changing uplink-downlink configurations in adjacent cells in a TDD networks introduces interference to special subframes between downlink and uplink transmissions. Adaptation is disclosed of different special subframe configurations for certain subframes based on different communication environment characteristics experienced on the special subframes. The different special subframe configurations may be differ among special subframe within the same or in a different radio frames or may be applied to a corresponding subframe in a neighboring cell. Over time, as changes to the communication environment are detected, the special subframe configurations may adapt to the communication environment characteristics.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for carrier aggregation and H-ARQ timing in LTE or the like. For example, there is provided a method, operable by a mobile device, that may involve identifying a first component carrier and a second component carrier among a plurality of component carriers to be aggregated, wherein a first number of subframes of a subframe type in the first component carrier is less than a second number of subframes of the same subframe type in the second component carrier. The method may further involve receiving a configuration to monitor a control channel for the second component carrier on the first component carrier. The method further may further involve determining a reference uplink-downlink subframe configuration for the second component carrier based at least in part on the subframe type and the received configuration for the control channel.
Abstract:
Providing for noise estimation in wireless communication, and particularly for access request signals transmitted by a user equipment (UE), is described herein. By way of example, a wireless signal receiver can employ unused signal dimensions of a wireless network for noise estimation. In addition, the unused signal dimensions can be selected for time-frequency resources that are associated with a particular wireless channel, in order to obtain a noise estimate for that channel. By employing unused signal dimensions, a noise measurement is likely to include no other signal transmissions, and provide an accurate estimate of noise on that channel. According to various aspects of the subject disclosure, one or more Chu sequences employed for signal transmissions, root sequences thereof, or one or more cyclic shifts of a root sequence can be employed for the unused signal dimension.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for managing the transmission of multiple signals on one or more uplink (UL) channels using carrier aggregation in LTE-A systems. A UE simultaneously transmits signals such as ACK/NACK and periodic CSI using one or more uplink channels, such as a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and/or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), by increasing the resources used to transmit at least one of those signals. According to one aspect, a UE simultaneously transmits ACK/NACK signals and periodic CSI signals by multiplexing those signals on the PUSCH. Certain aspects avoid frequently dropped periodic CSI signals and provide mechanisms to ensure that ACK/NACK signals are transmitted.
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:
Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a master information block that identifies a first control resource set (CORESET) for a first category of UEs and a first common search space (CSS) associated with the first CORESET. The first CORESET and the first CSS may identify one or more overlapping resource grids that overlap in time and frequency with one or more corresponding resource grids of a second CORESET and a second CSS, associated with the second CORESET, for a second category of UEs, and one or more non-overlapping resource grids that include a corresponding one or more time domain resources that are earlier than a time domain resource of the second CORESET and the second CSS. The UE may monitor for a physical downlink control channel candidate included in the first CORESET and the first CSS.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may perform, on a set of information bits, a distribution matching procedure to obtain a distributed amplitude symbol sequence. In some cases, the wireless device may perform the distribution matching procedure using approximations of quantities of distributed amplitude symbol sequences that each have a same length and a same transmission energy. The wireless device may then encode the distributed amplitude symbol sequence and transmit the encoded distributed amplitude sequence. A device that receives the encoded distributed amplitude sequence may perform a distribution dematching procedure on the distributed amplitude sequence based on approximating quantities of distributed amplitude symbol sequences.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive configuration information indicating a sidelink resource pool, a time gap, and a periodicity of feedback occasions. The UE may generate feedback bits associated with multiple received sidelink messages based on the configuration information. The UE may transmit the feedback bits in a single, multi-bit feedback message according to one or more rules. In some examples, the UE may drop one or more sets of feedback bits (e.g., in the case of a collision of too many feedback messages in a single slot) based on a weighted average priority level of one or more valid feedback bits in each of multiple sets of feedback bits.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support selection and quantization of time domain coefficients through an extended eType-II codebook. In a first aspect, a method of wireless communication includes measuring, by a user equipment (UE), a bundle of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) to determine channel quality information across a spatial domain, a frequency domain, and a time domain. The UE generates a first bitmap identifying a first plurality of non-zero coefficients (NZCs) selected to represent a first CSI for the spatial domain and the frequency domain, and a second bitmap identifying a second plurality of NZCs selected to represent a second CSI for the time domain. The UE would then transmit one or more CSI reports including one or both of the first bitmap and the second bitmap. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
In an aspect, a BS is configured as a serving cell of a UE. The BS transmits data to the UE in accordance with a frequency hopping scheme over a first set of T-F resources of a first BWP and a second set of T-F resources of a second BWP. The BS (or another BS) further transmits, to the UE over a third BWP that is different than the second BWP, a PDCCH including a PI field with a PI associated with the transmitted data over the second set of T-F resources of the second BWP. The UE receives the data and the PDCCH. The UE processes the received data over (at least) the second set of T-F resources based on the PI.
