    Abstract: An architecture to allow the spatial separation of information sources, information processing, and information consumption using objects and tags, including in mobile/multi-access edge computing (MEC) communication environments, is disclosed. In an example, a request for information provided to a network entity (such as a MEC entity) results in the receipt of an object and a tag, as a device operates in an operational area of an information service. The object provides data for the information service, and the tag provides the metadata related to a context of the information service and the object from another entity, for another entity located within the operational area of the location service. The use of this object, including in the form of an application, data, or user object type, allows a transfer and use of data and context for the information service that is independent from the access network.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), an Evolved Node-B (eNB), small-cell access point (AP), and methods for dynamic millimeter wave pencil cell communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive access point reference signals (APRS) from one or more small-cell access points (AP), and may transmit APRS signal quality measurements to a macro-cell Evolved Node-B (eNB). The UE may receive, from the macro-cell eNB, a message that indicates candidate pencil cells for which the UE is to determine signal quality measurements, the candidate pencil cells supported by the small-cell APs. The UE may receive beam reference signals (BRS) for the candidate pencil cells and may refrain from reception of BRS for pencil cells not included in the message. In some cases, beam-widths of the APRSs may be larger than beam-widths of the BRSs.

    Abstract: An apparatus for a transceiver of a mobile communication system includes an interface configured to obtain receive signal information. The apparatus further includes a control module configured to determine a first cell identifying information of the mobile communication system based on the receive signal information, and configured to estimate an interfering signal information transmitted by a second cell of the mobile communication system based on the receive signal information. The interfering signal comprises control or payload data information of a second transceiver. The control module is further configured to detect a synchronization signal information transmitted for the cell based on the receive signal information and the interfering signal information. The control module is further configured to identify the first cell identifying information based on the synchronization signal information.

    Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of relay backhauling with millimeter wave carrier aggregation. For example, a first Relay Node (RN) may include a cellular transceiver configured to communicate with a Donor evolved Node B (DeNB) over a cellular frequency band of a Primary cell (PCell); a millimeter-wave (mmWave) transceiver to communicate with a second RN via a backhaul link over a mmWave frequency band of a Secondary cell (SCell) within the PCell; and a controller to process a Relay-Physical-Downlink-Control-Channel (R-PDCCH) message received by the cellular transceiver over the cellular frequency band of the PCell, the R-PD-CCH message including cross-carrier scheduling information to schedule a downlink allocation over the backhaul link, the controller to trigger the mmWave transceiver to receive a downlink data packet from the second RN during the downlink allocation.
