Abstract: Novel adaptive silencing schemes for device-to-device (D2D) discovery based on loading conditions in a discovery zone are disclosed herein. These adaptive silencing schemes can be used to mitigate interference and data collisions in networks where D2D connections can be formed. In some embodiments, a silencing factor is used to probabilistically determine whether a user equipment (UE) will transmit one or more D2D discovery signals in the discovery zone. Loading conditions in a current discovery zone can be estimated using several different approaches and metrics described herein. The silencing factor can be increased or decreased for a subsequent discovery zone based on the values of one or more of the metrics described herein for the current discovery zone.

Abstract: A wireless communication device comprises a transceiver to communicate directly with one or more separate wireless devices in accordance with a WiFi communication protocol, and a controller. The controller is configured to initiate transmission of information using the transceiver upon expiration of a first contention window (CW) count value, detect whether the transmission is successful, change the CW count value to a second CW count value when the transmission is unsuccessful, and change the CW count value from the first CW count value to a third CW count value when the transmission is successful, wherein the third CW count value is a maximum value of one of the first CW count value divided by a specified binary number or a specified minimum CW count value.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards devices and methods for discovering and waking up dormant access nodes in cellular networks. In one embodiment, the dormant access nodes passively participate in a device-to-device discovery process to identify potential user equipment nearby. Upon identifying a potential user equipment, the dormant access node may wake itself up and inform a serving access node that that is able to service the user equipment. In another embodiment, dormant access nodes may transmit a discovery message periodically. Upon receiving the discovery message a user equipment may report the availability of the dormant access node to its serving access node.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to a communication between a user equipment (“UE”) and an evolved Node Bs (“eNBs”) in a plurality of frequency bands. An eNB may transmit cross-carrier, cross-subframe scheduling information to a UE in a licensed frequency band. In response reception of the scheduling information, the UE may sense a wireless transmission medium to determine if the medium is idle. If the medium is idle, the UE may generate and transmit a request to reserve the medium in the unlicensed frequency band (e.g., a Clear-to-Send message). The eNB may transmit downlink data to the UE in the unlicensed frequency band. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Described is an apparatus of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) operable to communicate with a User Equipment (UE) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to initiate a Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) procedure on a bandwidth of the wireless network, the bandwidth being unlicensed spectrum. The second circuitry may be operable to generate a transmission if the LBT procedure indicates that the bandwidth is idle, the transmission comprising a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) preamble portion and a message portion.

Abstract: Technology for a wideband coverage enhancement (WCE) user equipment (UE) and a next generation node B (gNB) operable for communication in a MulteFire cell is disclosed. The WCE UE can identify selected resource blocks containing an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH), wherein the selected resource blocks are identified using a master information block (MIB). The WCE UE can decode an ePDCCH transmission from the gNB. The WCE UE can identify a system information block MulteFire (SIB-MF) scheduled via the ePDCCH to allow the SIB-MF to be decoded.

Abstract: Technology for a next generation node B (gNB) operable for frequency hopping in MulteFire communications is disclosed. The gNB can perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) for a selected hopping frequency. The gNB can identify a next hopping frequency in a set of hopping frequencies when an energy detection of the CCA is greater than a selected threshold. The gNB can encode data for a downlink transmission at a selected dwell time of a determined hopping frequency in the set of hopping frequencies when an energy detection of the CCA is less than a selected threshold.

Abstract: Machines or networked devices such as internet of things (IoT) devices operate to generate an unlicensed IoT (U-IoT) communication or enhanced Machine Type Communication (eMTC) based on frequency hopping operations on different channels. An anchor channel can be configured to carry system information and paging messages for the U-IoT/eMTC communication on the different channels. The system information and paging messages can include essential system information such as a system information block MulteFire (SIB-MF) message. Physical channels can be configured to enable component carriers anchored to a long term evolution (LTE) licensed band, and entirely comprise unlicensed carrier components that are unanchored to any LTE component carrier in a standalone configuration to enable transmission of the U-IoT communication in standalone communications in an unlicensed band.

Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses for communication devices. An apparatus for a communication device includes control circuitry configured to determine a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a constant amplitude zero autocorrelation waveform (CAZAC) sequence appended with zeros in the time domain to generate a frequency domain interpolated CAZAC sequence. The control circuitry is also configured to determine an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) of the frequency domain interpolated CAZAC sequence to generate a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), and cause the DMRS to be transmitted through a cellular data network. An apparatus for a communication device includes control circuitry configured to perform a Fourier transform on a received DMRS to obtain a resulting signal, and use the resulting signal as a reference to demodulate orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. The control circuitry is also configured to perform a minimum mean squares estimation (MMSE) channel estimation on the resulting signal.
