Abstract: An apparatus of a base station, comprising: a controller to configure a first measurement gap pattern with a first measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) for a first receive (Rx) chain of a user equipment (UE); and configure a second measurement gap pattern with a second measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) for a second receive (Rx) chain of the UE, wherein the first MGRP is different from the second MGRP. The apparatus may configure the measurement gap patterns to support carrier aggregation and/or dual connectivity.

Abstract: An embodiment for user equipment that receives a plurality of measurement gap repetition patterns from a network. Each measurement gap repetition pattern may be assigned to a different frequency of the network. The plurality of measurement gap repetition patterns may include skipping measurement patterns. Further embodiments may include the user equipment receiving a repetition period in a measurement object frame or receiving a plurality of measurement gap repetition patterns in which the measurement gaps are non-colliding with measurement gaps of other repetition patterns assigned to the user equipment.

Abstract: Beamforming measurement techniques based on PSS/SSS are disclosed. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode a configuration message from a source serving cell, the configuration message indicating signal selection criteria for cell measurement reporting. A synchronization signal (SS) burst set associated with one or more transmission/reception points (TRPs) within a neighboring cell is decoded, the SS burst set including a plurality of SS blocks. A cell beamforming measurement signal associated with the neighboring cell is generated, based on signal measurements of the SS blocks and the signal selection criteria. A radio resource management (RRM) measurement report message is encoded for transmission to the serving cell, the measurement report message including the cell beamforming measurement signal. A handover command message for initiating a handover to the neighboring cell is decoded, the handover command based on the cell beamforming measurement signal.

Abstract: Techniques related to License Assisted Access (LAA) measurement requirements are described. Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment, the requirements on the cell identification for a User Equipment (UE) is determined based at least in part on one or more Discovery Reference Signals (DRSs). Further, a cell identification period is determined based at least in part on a combination of a measurement period and a cell detection period at the UE. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate configuration by a network of one or more measurement gaps based at least in part on UE (User Equipment) assistance. One example embodiment employable by a UE (User Equipment) comprises a memory interface; and processing circuitry configured to: generate UE capability information that comprises, for each measurement scenario of one or more measurement scenarios, an indication of whether the UE is capable of non-gap measurement in connection with that measurement scenario, wherein each measurement scenario applies to one or more associated serving frequencies and one or more associated measurement objects; and process configuration signaling that comprises, for each measurement scenario of the one or more measurement scenarios, an associated indication of whether an associated measurement gap is configured for that measurement scenario.

Abstract: Described is an apparatus of an enhanced Machine Type Communication (eMTC) capable User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with an eMTC capable Evolved Node-B (eNB) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to initiate an intra-frequency measurement corresponding with an intra-frequency Measurement Gap Length (MGL) of a first duration. The second circuitry may be operable to initiate an inter-frequency measurement corresponding with an inter-frequency MGL of a second duration. The first duration may be shorter than the second duration. The first and second durations may be established by dedicated and separated configuration inputs. The second circuitry may also be operable to schedule a plurality of intra-frequency measurements in accordance with an intra-frequency measurement gap pattern, and may be operable to schedule a plurality of inter-frequency measurements in accordance with an inter-frequency measurement gap pattern.

Abstract: An enhanced Node B (eNB) for precoding is generally described. In some embodiments, a first precoding-matrix indicator (PMI) and a second PMI is received on an uplink channel from user equipment (UE). Symbols for multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) beamforming may be precoded by the eNB using a precoder matrix recommended by the first and second PMIs, for a MIMO downlink orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) transmission. The first PMI and the second PMI are calculated by selecting a representative codeword that is indexed by i1 and i2 for a plurality of 2TX constituent beams, the 2TX constituent beam that provides the best system evaluation metric. The i1 index for wideband and the i2 index for each subband are identified from the defined 2TX constituent beam.

Abstract: Systems and methods for signaling in an increased carrier monitoring wireless communication environment are disclosed herein. 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: In embodiments, apparatuses, methods, and storage media may be described for distinguishing, by a user equipment (UE), a reference signal (RS) transmitted by a cell that may have a same identifier (ID) as another cell in a network. In embodiments, a muting pattern, a time offset, or a virtual cell identifier (VCID) may be used to generate an RS sequence or RS resource allocation.
