Abstract: Systems and methods for signaling in an increased carrier monitoring wireless communication environment are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a user equipment (UE) may include control circuitry to configure the UE for increased carrier monitoring; determine, based on a first signal received from a network apparatus, whether a reduced performance group carrier is configured; determine, based on a second signal received from the network apparatus, whether a scaling factor is configured; and in response to a determination that no reduced performance group carrier is configured and a determination that no scaling factor is configured, allow the UE to monitor fewer carriers than required by increased carrier monitoring. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a network to indicate beamforming information to user equipment (UE) for identification and measurement of reference signals. For example, a network may indicate whether all the reference signals are beamformed or not, or which reference signals are using the same transmission beamforming on the time domain, the frequency domain, or both time and frequency domains. In other embodiments, a network may indicate combining or averaging information to a UE.

Abstract: Beam measurement reporting circuitry is provided for a user equipment (UE) of a wireless telecommunications network. The beam measurement reporting circuitry receives from the network, beam measurement configuration data and measures signal qualities for a plurality of received beams originating from a beam source of the network (serving and neighbouring cells). Beam measurements are performed by the UE to facilitate identification of a non-zero integer, N, beams depending upon the signal quality measurements. The identified beams can be candidate beams for a handover. Circuitry for a NodeB is also provided. A UE, a NodeB and corresponding methods incorporating the beam measurement reporting circuitry and beam measurement configuration circuitry are also provided.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate measurement gap configuration and/or determination of activation or deactivation delays for NR (New Radio) UEs (User Equipments). A first set of aspects can involve coordination of measurement gap configuration for a UE between a MN (Master Node) and SN (Secondary Node). A second set of aspects can involve estimation of timing for activation and/or deactivation of SCell(s) (Secondary Cell(s)) in DC (Dual Connectivity) scenarios. Various embodiments can employ techniques of the first set of aspects and/or the second set of aspects.

Abstract: An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to encode capability information for transmission within a serving cell of an evolved Node-B (eNB), the capability information indicating the UE supports per UE network controlled small gap (NCSG) operation. A request message is encoded to request a per UE NCSG on a first frequency associated with the serving cell. Configuration information received in response to the request message can be decoded, the configuration information including a NCSG configuration for the NCSG on the first frequency. Measurements can be performed on a second frequency during a measurement gap, the measurement gap configured based on the NCSG configuration. A network message is decoded in response to the capability information, the network message including an indication of the request message for requesting the per UE NCSG on the first frequency.

Abstract: In embodiments, a UE may measure system frame number (SFN)/subframe timing differences between a master eNB (MeNB) and secondary eNB (SeNB) for dual connectivity (DC). When network-based reporting on the SFN/subframe timing offset is used, no new radio access network (RAN) signaling may be needed. However, in the case of multi-vendor deployments, no network coordination via different Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) for DC may occur. In this case, the network may not be able to obtain SFN/subframe timing offset information. To address this issue, various embodiments disclosed herein include UE-based reporting on SFN/subframe offset between an MeNB and an SeNB.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatuses, storage media, and systems for delivering UE capability indication to a positioning server in a wireless communication network. A user equipment (UE) or access note (AN) may notify a positioning server of UE capability information associated with positioning measurements so that the positioning server may determine corresponding positioning measurement configurations based on acknowledgement of such UE capability information in terms of the positioning measurement. Embodiments describe UE capability indications to a positioning server that may enable flexible deployment and integration of various types of UEs. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: User equipment (UE), an enhanced NodeB (eNB) and method of improving positioning accuracy and enabling vertical domain positioning of the UE are generally described. The UE may receive a prsInfo control signal having at least one PRS configuration and subsequently a plurality of Reference Signals (RSs). The RSs may have a first Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) pattern in a first set of PRS subframes and a second PRS pattern in a second set of PRS subframes received prior to a subsequent first set of PRS subframes. The RSs may have a vertical positioning RS and a lateral positioning RS. The UE may measure PRS resource elements (REs), each having a PRS, in the first and second PRS pattern. The UE may transmit a measurement of the PRS in the first and second PRS pattern. The patterns may enable horizontal and vertical positioning to be determined.
