Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE that acquires information regarding an interfering non-serving cell and uses the information to improve decoding of serving cell signals. The method includes receiving, from a serving evolved Node B (eNB), information that includes one or more transmission characteristics of at least one non-serving cell and performing at least one of interference cancellation, demodulation, or provides an improved channel quality indicator (CQI) based on the received information.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives an LDCS configuration for a UE relay from a second entity and monitors for an LDCS from the UE relay based on the received LDCS configuration. The second entity may comprise one of an LPN that is not in a dormant state and a Macro cell. The apparatus may receive LDCS configurations for a plurality of LPNs and monitor for a plurality of LPNs based on the received LDCS configurations. When the apparatus determines a need to connect to a LPN, the apparatus may select an LPN among the plurality of LPNs.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus identifies a UE relay and transmits a very low duty cycle signal (LDCS) configuration of the UE relay. The apparatus may comprise, e.g., an LPN that is not in a dormant state or a macrocell. The apparatus may receive LDCS information for the UE relay. The apparatus may determine the LDCS configuration and transmit the LDCS configuration to the UE relay.
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:
Time tracking in current communication systems may be traditionally based on common reference signals (CRS). However, in certain communication systems, CRS-based time tracking may be impossible to implement due to an absence of CRS in certain subframes or carriers. CRS-based time tracking may also be inappropriate to implement in certain communication systems such as a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) system where control and data may arrive from different cells, and therefore, a UE may assume a wrong cell for CRS-based time tracking. Accordingly, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for wireless communication are provided in which additional UE specific reference signals (UE-RS) and/or channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) are made available to the UE so that the UE may have improved channel estimation and/or time tracking performance.
Abstract:
A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus for determining retransmission feedback resources are provided. An apparatus receives a downlink resource assignment over a control channel and obtains an offset related to a region for retransmission feedback resources. The offset is determined based on a type of the control channel. The apparatus determines resources for communicating retransmission feedback for communications received over the downlink resource assignment based on an index of a resource related to the downlink resource assignment and the offset. The apparatus transmits retransmission feedback for the communications over the resources.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus of a first cell communicates with a second cell in relation to a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission of control information by the second cell and data by the first cell to a user equipment (UE) in a range expanded region of the first cell, determines a desired transmission power level for an uplink transmission to the first cell by the UE, and provides the desired transmission power level for the uplink transmission to the second cell.
Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a first network node (e.g., BS, RU, etc.) transmits, to a second network node (e.g., UE, RU, etc.), indicates of precoding matrixes associated with bandwidth region with intervening bandwidth section(s). The second network node generates interpolated precoding matrix(es) associated with the intervening bandwidth section(s) via interpolation. The second network node performs uplink precoding intervening bandwidth section(s) based on the interpolated precoding matrix(es). The first network node receives transmission based on the uplink precoding.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, via first frequency ranges and first time periods, a plurality of sidelink control blocks that each indicate a sidelink positioning reference signal burst pattern for one or more sidelink UEs. The UE may receive, within a second frequency range and during a second time period, a plurality of multiplexed sidelink positioning reference signals from the one or more sidelink UEs in accordance with the sidelink positioning reference signal burst patterns. The UE may determine a position of the UE based at least in part on the receiving of the plurality of multiplexed sidelink positioning reference signals.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless communication device may receive control signaling that indicates a change in one or more radio frequency thresholds for wireless signaling. The wireless communication device may perform, as part of an in-band clipping procedure, noise repetition and noise shaping to reduce a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) associated with the wireless signaling. The noise repetition and the noise shaping may include generating a set of values with one or more first values and one or more second values. The one or more first values may be associated with an error margin between a sample of a wireless communication signal and a clipping threshold. The one or more second values may be inversions of the one or more first values. The wireless communication device may apply the set of values to the wireless communication signal to reduce PAPR.
