Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus transitions to a dormant state and transmits a very low duty cycle signal (LDCS) while in the dormant state. The apparatus may transmit an LDCS configuration to a second entity, the second entity being one of an LPN that is not in a dormant state and a macro cell. The apparatus may further monitor for a RACH messages at a predetermined RACH delay after transmitting the LDCS. The apparatus may transition to a DRX/DTX mode. The DRX/DTX mode may be matched to at least one connected UE.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for aggregating data from a wireless wide area network (WWAN) and wireless local area network (WLAN). In some aspects, a packet convergence entity (e.g., PDCP layer entity) communicates with first and second radio access technology (RAT) links. The packet convergence entity may determine from which of the first and second RAT links a data packet is received and may monitor a sequence number value of each of the received data packets. The packet convergence entity may perform one or more actions based on a determination that one or more packets are missing based on the monitored sequence number values. The packet convergence entity may send a status report in response to one or more events on one or both of the first RAT link and the second RAT link.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communications. A first subframe structure having a first subframe duration for communicating in a first carrier may be determined. A second subframe structure having a second subframe duration for communicating in a second carrier may also be determined. At least the second subframe structure having the second subframe duration may be used to communicate with at least one node.
Abstract:
A method for mitigating interference in a wireless network includes an eNodeB and/or a UE identifying interference. The eNodeB may identify the interfering TDD configurations based on a downlink signal of a neighboring eNodeB received during an uplink timeslot for a UE associated with the eNodeB. Likewise, the UE may identify an interfering UE based on an uplink signal received during a downlink timeslot for an eNodeB associated with the UE. The eNodeB performs interference management based at least in part on the identified interference.
Abstract:
Detection and reporting techniques for collisions between transmitters of two different radio access technologies (RATs) transmitting in a shared radio frequency spectrum band is described. The collision may occur following a listen-before-talk procedure but prior to transmission of data, and may not affect the reception of the transmitted data. Collisions may be detected using for example, energy sensing, preamble or ready-to-send (RTS) signal detection, or unsuccessful decoding of all or part of a channel reservation signal. A transmitting device may determine a collision has occurred by detecting an energy level during a preamble transmission is greater than a threshold level or by detecting that an energy level during a transmission gap of a time-domain energy pattern is above a threshold level. A receiving device, such as a user equipment (UE), that detects the collision may report the collision to the transmitter.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method includes receiving a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol including a plurality of reference signals (RSs) over a radio frequency spectrum band. The first method may also include receiving a second OFDM symbol including a first synchronization signal over the radio frequency spectrum band. A second method includes transmitting a first OFDM symbol including a plurality of RSs over an radio frequency spectrum band. The second method may also include transmitting a second OFDM symbol including a first synchronization signal over the radio frequency spectrum band. In each method, a first portion of the first OFDM symbol includes a higher density of the RSs than a remaining portion of the first OFDM symbol, and when included, the second OFDM symbol may be adjacent in time to the first OFDM symbol.
Abstract:
Enhanced sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions for multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) operation are disclosed in which a user equipment (UE) detects an observed interference level for each receiver chain of the UE. In response to an imbalance, the UE precodes a SRS targeting downlink operation to indicate the imbalance. The UE then transmits the precoded SRS. In alternative aspects, the precoded SRS vector may be determined by an evolved nodeB (eNB). In such aspects, the eNB determines the precoded SRS vector targeting downlink operations for the served UEs, wherein the determined precoded SRS vector includes determining the precoded SRS vector on a per UE basis, enabling the precoded SRS vector for either one or both of frequency division duplex (FDD) systems and time division duplex (TDD) systems, or enabling the precoded SRS vector for aperiodic SRS only. The eNB then transmits the determined precoded SRS vector to the UE.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication using various coding schemes for data transmission are described. A wireless communication system may support multiple coding schemes such as, for example, turbo codes and low density parity check codes. The system may support selection of the coding scheme based on explicit signaling or implicit evaluation of transmission parameters. A transmitting device may select a coding scheme, encode a message using the selected coding scheme, and transmit the encoded message over a wireless connection. The receiving device may receive the encoded message, select the coding scheme, and decode the message using the select coding scheme.
Abstract:
A base station or user equipment (UE) may manage scheduling of code blocks to be transmitted and manage memory interface usage to enhance memory read and write operations and provide for enhanced efficiency for decoding of retransmissions of code blocks. In some aspects, a base station or UE may identify an available throughput, or budget, for performing read and write operations to a memory. The base station or UE may then estimate an amount of read and write operations to be performed during a particular time period. In the event that the amount of read and write operations exceed the budget, scheduling of code blocks to be transmitted may be adjusted, one or more read or write operations may be skipped, or combinations thereof may be employed to achieve the memory read and write budget.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes generating a unique position reference signal (PRS) for a remote radio head having a same physical cell identity (PCI) as a macro eNodeB. The unique PRS is based on a virtual cell ID and/or unique cell global identification (CGI) of the remote radio head such that the unique PRS is different from a PRS of the macro eNodeB. The PRS of the macro eNodeB is based on the PCI. The method also includes transmitting the unique PRS.
