    Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprising circuitry to receive a Beamforming Reference Signal (BRS) transmission from an evolved NodeB (eNB) via one or more transmission beams, divide the one or more transmission beams into one or more transmission beam sets, wherein a transmission beam set comprises a number of consecutive orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, scan consecutive receiving beams for corresponding transmission beam sets to obtain channel measurements to select a transmission beam and a receiving beam based at least in part on the channel measurements, and receive transmissions from the eNB using the selected transmission beam and the selected receiving beam.

    Abstract: Techniques related to physical uplink control channel procedures are described. Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment, an Uplink Control Information (UCI) payload size is determined based at least in part on configuration information and Downlink Control Information (DCI). A Fifth Generation (5G) Physical Uplink Control Channel (xPUCCH) format is then determined based at least in part on the determined UCI payload size. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

    Abstract: Provided herein are method and apparatus for beam recovery. It provides an apparatus for a UE (101) including a radio frequency (RF) interface; and processing circuitry configured to: determine beam quality for one or more BPLs between the UE (101) and an access node (111,112); and in response to the beam quality for all of the BPLs being below a first predetermined threshold, encode Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) data to include a beam recovery request that identifies a candidate beam of the access node (111,112); determine a transmit power for the beam recovery request; and send the PRACH data to the RF interface for transmission to the access node (111,112) with the transmit power. At least some embodiments allow for determining a transmission power to transmit a PRACH, to ensure reception of the PRACH, and allow for determining whether to use a PRACH or a PUCHH.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods using or implementing a control channel (PDCCH) design. The PDCCH can occupy an initial number of OFDM symbols of a downlink subframe, while occupying less than the full system bandwidth. The PDCCH can be time division multiplexed (TDM) with a shared channel (PDSCH) or frequency division multiplexed (FDM) with a PDSCH. The PDCCH can further be multiplexed with another PDCCH in a contiguous or non-contiguous region. Resources allocated to the PDCCH can overlap or partially overlap resources allocated to the PDSCH. An Evolved Node-B (eNB) can provide configuration information for the PDCCH design in Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling to a user equipment (UE), or through use of a Master Information Block (MIB) or System Information Block (SIB).

    Abstract: Embodiments relates to a user equipment for wireless communication; the user equipment comprising logic to: allocate a first resource for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); process received signalling comprising an indication of an Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) resource mapping mode on the PUSCH; and determine resource elements for transmitting ACK/NACK information based, at least in part, on the first resource block for transmitting the PUSCH and the received ACK/NACK resource mapping mode on the PUSCH; and transmit the ACK/NACK information on the determined resource elements.

    Abstract: Devices and methods of simultaneous data reception and measurement are generally described. A UE transmits to an eNB antenna capacity and receives a Beamformed Reference Signal (BRS) configuration in response. Beamformed signals from the eNB include a BRS subframe in accordance with the BRS configuration. The BRS subframe has a BRS whose structure depends on the UE antenna capacity. If the UE has a single antenna panels, neither an EPDCCH nor a PDSCH for the UE is in the BRS frame. If the UE has a single antenna panels and multiple ports or multiple antenna panels, the BRS may contain an EPDCCH or PDSCH for the UE as different ports or antenna panels may be assigned different functionality. The UE measures BRS Received Power (BRS-RP) of the BRS, transmits a BRS report based on the BRS-RP and selects an optimal beam based on BRS-RPs from BRSs of the beams.
