Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for blindly decoding interfering cell Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) to acquire interfering cell Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmission information. A UE may determine, for one or more aggregation levels, sets of CCEs that potentially include the PDCCH, based on available CCEs for each aggregation level and identify a set of decoding candidates based on the determination. Once the decoding candidates are decoded, the UE may perform an error correcting procedure on decoded candidates and prune out unlikely candidates. Likely decoded candidates may be further pruned based on comparison of CRC calculated using information bits only and possible Radio Network Temporary Identifiers (RNTIs). The UE may then interpret content of the PDCCH of the interfering cell based on surviving candidates. The UE may then use the interpreted PDCCH information to determine PDSCH information.
Abstract:
An enhanced physical downlink control channel (e-PDCCH) may provide carrier aggregation (CA) enhancements, help support new carriers which may not be backwards compatible, reduce control channel capacity limitations of coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmissions, and enhance DL MIMO. In wireless communication networks, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE), user equipments (UEs) may monitor both a common search space and a UE-specific search space in a control region. A search space may comprise a set of channel control element (CCE) locations where a UE may find its PDCCHs. One or more CCEs are used to transmit each PDCCH. Certain aspects provide methods and apparatus for determining a search space comprising a subset of CCEs located on a band edge of available frequency resources, and performing a search of the search space to decode at least one PDCCH.
Abstract:
Collision handling of channel state information (CSI) reports is described for enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC), coordinated multipoint transmission (CoMP), and/or carrier aggregation (CA). Various aspects include prioritization schemes to resolve collisions between different CSI reporting sets in relation to the same component carrier (CC) used with transmission. Multiple stages of prioritization may identify CSI for a report based on various criteria. Tie breaker criteria may be defined for priority among CSI reports that changes for different subframes. In other aspects, PUSCH is utilized to transmit CSI for prioritized reporting sets in a subframe. In yet other aspects, if parallel PUCCH is supported, colliding CSI may be handled on a per PUCCH basis. Other aspects may allow for prioritizing periodic CSI within each of multiple CCs, and then prioritizing over different CCs to handle an interaction of CSI reports for CA, eICIC and/or CoMP.
Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, during a first state, a configuration of a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource or SRS resource set, obtains an association between the SRS resource or SRS resource set and a group of random access channel (RACH) resources, and transmits, while outside the first state, a group of RACH signals using transmission properties based on the association between the SRS resource or SRS resource set and the group of RACH resources, wherein the group of RACH resources spans a plurality of adjacent frequency resources over a single time resource, or the group or RACH resources spans the plurality of adjacent frequency resources over a plurality of time resources.
Abstract:
Techniques are described that provide for waveform selection for uplink (UL) and/or downlink (DL) wireless transmissions based on one or more factors associated with the wireless transmission, a transmitter that is to transmit the wireless transmission, or combinations thereof. UL and DL transmissions may use one of a number of different waveforms, such as single-carrier waveforms that use a single carrier for information transmission of a wireless channel, and multi-carrier waveforms that use multiple carriers at different frequencies to transmit some of the bits on each channel. Multi-carrier transmission waveforms or single-carrier waveforms may be selected for wireless transmissions based on a bandwidth allocated for the transmissions, a capability of a transmitter that is to transmit the transmissions, or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A receiving device (such as user equipment (UE)) may receive a downlink grant including an indication to report channel state information. The receiving device may identify, based on the downlink grant, a number of channel state information processing units associated with reporting the channel state information, and may determine that an available number of channel state information processing units is less than the number of channel state information processing units. In some cases, the receiving device may allocate, based on the determining, a set of channel state information processing units including the available number of channel state information processing units and one or more additional channel state information processing units. The receiving device may then transmit the channel state information report based on the set of channel state information processing units.
Abstract:
A communications transceiver system that employs self-interference mitigation techniques can detect static objects by using techniques that introduce angular or Doppler diversity. This can include moving Tx and Rx antennas and/or performing beam sweeping. When processing RF sensing data from reflected RF signals, self-interference mitigation techniques can be used and compensation can be made for the movement and/or beam sweeping to allow for both self-interference mitigation and detection of static objects.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for port selection for channel state feedback with analog feedforward. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes selecting one or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) ports, of a plurality of CSI-RS ports, for the UE to report CSI. The port selection includes selecting any of the plurality of CSI-RS ports for selecting CSI-RS based on a grouping of the plurality of CSI-RS ports. The UE determines a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) formed by a linear combination of the one or more selected CSI-RS ports. The UE computes at least wideband linear combination coefficients for the selected CSI-RS ports. The UE provides the selected one or more CSI-RS ports and the computed wideband linear combination coefficients to a base station (BS) in a CSI report.
Abstract:
Aspects present herein relate to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a UE and/or a base station. The apparatus may identify at least one scheduling offset associated with a propagation delay between a base station of a NTN and the UE. The apparatus may also select a first scheduling offset of the at least one scheduling offset associated with the propagation delay between the base station and the UE. Additionally, the apparatus may transmit, to the base station, an uplink transmission based on the first scheduling offset, the uplink transmission being associated with a PUSCH, a PUCCH, or a PRACH.
