A mobile communication device includes a table component, a table selection component, and a communication component. The table component is configured to maintain two or more tables each having entries for a plurality of available modulation schemes. The two or more tables include a default table and a secondary table. The default table and the secondary table have a matching number of entries, and the secondary table includes an entry corresponding to a 256-QAM scheme. The table selection component is configured to select a selected table from one of the default table and the secondary table. The communication component is configured to receive and process a communication from a base station based on a modulation and coding scheme of the selected table.
Abstract:
An eNodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and method for operating in enhanced coverage (EC) modes are generally described. The UE may receive one or more physical broadcast channel (PBCH) signals, dependent on whether the UE is in a normal coverage mode or in one of the EC modes. The PBCH signal may be combined to form a combined PBCH signal, when the UE is in an EC mode, and decoded to determine one of a plurality of sets of resource regions associated different EC modes for communication with the eNB. The signal may be scrambled using a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) dependent on at least one of a signal type of the control signal and the EC mode. Paging and the system information block (SIB) signals in a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) may be decoded without decoding a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signal associated with the PDSCH.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an enhanced node B (eNB) and methods for network-assisted interference cancellation with reduced signaling in a 3GPP LTE network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the number of transmission options is reduced by introducing a smaller signaling codebook. In some embodiments, higher-layer feedback from the UE to the eNodeB is established to inform the eNB about certain NA-ICS capabilities of the UE. In some embodiments, the number of signaling options is reduced by providing only certain a priori information. In some embodiments, correlations in the time and/or frequency domain are exploited for reducing the signaling message. In some embodiments, differential information is signaled in the time and/or frequency domain for reducing the signaling message.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for mitigating interference in wireless networks. Various embodiments may include signaling of control channel information associated with an interfering cell and utilization of the control channel information to mitigate interference. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for communicating in a wireless network include provision of interfering signal characteristics information including parameters used in a coding procedure used to encode at least one interfering signal to a user equipment to facilitate suppression of the at least one interfering signal present in a downlink signal being received at the user equipment.
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:
Techniques for transmitting and receiving beamformed transmission(s) of a common search space of a DL (Downlink) control channel are discussed. One example embodiment that can be employed at a UE (User Equipment) comprises processing circuitry configured to: select a set of receive beamforming weights for a DL (Downlink) control channel; and decode one or more control channel sets from a common search space of the DL control channel, wherein each control channel set of the one or more control channel sets is mapped to an associated symbol of one or more symbols of a slot, wherein each control channel set of the one or more control channel sets has an associated transmit beamforming, and wherein each control channel set of the one or more control channel sets comprises a common set of control information.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, systems, and devices for modulation and coding scheme signaling for a common control channel. Various embodiments may include restricting transmit block size selection for downlink control information format 1A having a cyclic-redundancy check scrambled by a paging radio network temporary identifier, a system information radio network temporary identifier, or a random access radio network temporary identifier. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.
Abstract:
Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for beam management is disclosed. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI), wherein the TCI is configured for a control channel and a data channel for all bandwidth parts (BWPs) of the UE or all component carriers (CCs) of the UE. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a synchronization signal block (SSB) or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for beam management with a repetition parameter set to “ON” transmitted in one BWP or one CC in a first set of symbols. The UE can be configured to identify, at the UE, a scheduling restriction for the first set of symbols for the control channel and the data channel, wherein the scheduling restriction indicates that downlink transmission in the first set of symbols is not expected.
Abstract:
Embodiments allow selection of a Discovery signal (DS) used to identify an eNB to a UE receiving the DS. The DS allows the UE to ascertain the existence and/or cell identifier of the eNB. DS comprise a plurality of other signals such as a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), a Cell Specific Reference Signal (CRS) and/or a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS). A DS occasion comprises a number of subframes where the selected signals that comprise the DS are transmitted. The signals selected for the DS, their characteristics and properties allow a UE to decode the cell identifier. The DS occasion occurs with a designated periodicity.
