摘要: The first circuitry may be operable to establish a first UE Receive (Rx) beam as being for reception of data from a first eNB. The second circuitry may be operable to process a transmission including Downlink Control Information (DCI), wherein the DCI carries an eNB cell-switching indicator. The first circuitry may also be operable to establish a second UE Rx beam as being for reception of data from a second eNB based on the eNB cell-switching indicator.

摘要: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), an Evolved Node-B (eNB), and methods for communication of uplink messages are generally described herein. The UE may receive, from an eNB, one or more downlink control messages that may indicate an allocation of PUCCH channel resources. The UE may transmit an uplink control message in at least a portion of the allocated PUCCH channel resources. When the PUCCH channel resources are allocated according to an edge configuration, the PUCCH channel resources may be restricted to a lower edge portion and an upper edge portion of the network channel resources. When the PUCCH channel resources are allocated according to a distributed configuration, the PUCCH channel resources may include one or more middle portions of the network channel resources. The middle portions may be exclusive to the lower edge and upper edge portions.

摘要: Downlink transmissions can be generated to schedule one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices for communication on unlicensed channels via frequency hopping operations/procedures. An evolved NodeB (eNB) or a next generation NodeB (gNB) can perform a listen before talk (LBT) on the unlicensed channels that are scheduled for transmission by at least one of: one or more IoT devices or one or more user equipments (UEs). A preamble or a common physical downlink control channel (CPDCCH) can be transmitted to reserve the unlicensed channels for the IoT devices/UEs. The preamble or the PDCCH can include a duration of the duration to provide notice to other eNBs/gNBs or trigger the IoT devices of a successful LBT corresponding to the unlicensed channels.

摘要: Technology for a user equipment (UE) using a self-contained scheduling resource to communicate with an eNodeB within a wireless communication network is disclosed. The UE can select, at the UE, a selected eNodeB transmission (Tx) beam and a selected UE reception (Rx) beam based on a highest power beamforming reference signal (BRS) received power (BRS-RP). The UE can signal a transceiver of the UE to transmit to the eNodeB a scheduling request (SR), using the selected Rx beam, on a scheduling request (SR) resource in a self-contained subframe according to a time and frequency location of the selected eNodeB Tx beam. The UE can process an advanced physical downlink control channel (xPDCCH), received from the eNodeB, for an uplink (UL) grant using the selected UE RX beam.

摘要: Technology for a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) operable to communicate over an anchor channel for Unlicensed Internet of Things (U-IoT) is disclosed. The gNB can encode control information for transmission on two discovery reference signal (DRS) subframes to a user equipment 5 (UE). The control information can be transmitted on an anchor channel having a set frequency for U-IoT in an adaptive frequency hopping system. The control information can include: a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) transmission, and a system information block for MulteFire bandwidth reduced (SIB-MF10 BR).

摘要: This disclosure relates to implementations to support UE-specific search space (UESS) for wide coverage enhancement (WCE). One implementation relates to an apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprising: an interface configured to receive configuration information of a UE specific Search Space (UESS) and a common search space (CSS) for enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (ePDCCH) from a radio-frequency (RF) circuitry; and a processor configured to monitor the UESS and the CSS for ePDCCH transmission; wherein the interface and/or the processor is adaptable to support a wideband coverage enhancement (WCE).

摘要: Systems and methods of measuring reference signals in a multefire scenario are described. A UE receives control information anchor channel dependent on whether the UE is in an adaptive frequency hopping system (FHS) and whether the FHS is a LBT FHS. The reference signals are received on an unlicensed band via the anchor and/or a non-anchor channel and measured for RRM and/or in-sync or out-of-sync measurements. RRM measurements are transmitted to the eNB for mobility management and otherwise the validity of an in- or out-of-sync indication is determined and a counter started when valid. The control information has a subframe configuration and resource allocation, which is used for SRS transmission on the non-anchor channel. Uplink scheduling information is received on the anchor channel for data transmission on the non-anchor channel based on the SRS.
