Abstract: A network control device. A wireless communications module receives a plurality of first signals each including information regarding a preferred transmitting beam in a first beam level determined by a communications apparatus. A controller selects a group of communications apparatuses to join a 1-to-many beam training according to the received first signals and selects one or more transmitting beams in a second beam level to be trained. The communications apparatuses in the group have the same preferred transmitting beam in the first beam level and the transmitting beam(s) in the second beam level associates with the preferred transmitting beam in the first beam level. The wireless communications module further uses the transmitting beam(s) in turn to transmit signals to perform the 1-to-many beam training for training the transmitting beam(s) in the second beam level among the group of communications apparatuses at the same time.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a UE. A base station may select a hybrid pilot configuration including a relatively sparse periodic pilot and a dense pilot embedded in one or more symbols of a low latency burst. A user equipment (UE) may generate a long term statistical average channel estimate based on the periodic pilot and an instantaneous channel estimate (e.g., for demodulation) based on the dense pilot embedded in the low latency burst. The UE may refine the instantaneous channel estimate by converting a control channel embedded with the burst. In some instances, the base station may embed the dense pilots in the first symbol of a burst and transmit subsequent low latency symbols with a reduced density pilot (or without pilot tones).

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating resource management in OFDM systems is provided. The system permits different and flexible resource cell metric operations levels (e.g. uplink load management, admission control, congestion control, signal handoff control) for different sub-bands. For the uplink load management, there are multiple distinct load operation points (e.g. IoT, RoT) per sub-band group instead of the same operation level across the entire available band. The sub-band groups encompass the entire band. The facilitation system also comprises a variety of transmitting protocols, command increment variable stepsize methods and robust command response methods. The system thus provides more flexible reverse link resource management and more efficient utilization of the bandwidth.
