Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a base station and a user equipment (UE) may utilize multi-port reference signals to determine a beam pair for rank-2 transmissions. For example, a UE may receive a set of multi-port reference signals, where each multi-port reference signal of the set corresponds to a unique beam pair and is received via two ports associated with two different polarizations. The UE may determine a spectral efficiency estimation for each multi-port reference signal of the set, select a beam pair associated with a multi-port reference signal with the highest determined spectral efficiency estimation of the set, and transmit an indication of the selected beam pair to the base station. Therefore, the UE and the base station may communicate using a beam pair which maximizes the spectral efficiency and rate of rank-2 transmissions.

Abstract: A latency manager at a base station in a radio access network (RAN) can be configured to dynamically determine an end-to-end latency associated with an end-to-end connection for a UE that extends through the RAN, a transport network, and a core network. The latency manager can also dynamically determine whether the end-to-end latency meets an end-to-end latency goal associated with the end-to-end connection. If the end-to-end latency does not meet the end-to-end latency goal, the latency manager can cause the base station to dynamically adjust radio resources to lower a RAN latency associated with the end-to-end connection. Lowering the RAN latency can cause the overall end-to-end latency to be lowered and to meet the end-to-end latency goal. In some examples, the latency manager may also request that the transport network and/or the core network take actions to reduce latencies to reduce the end-to-end latency to meet the end-to-end latency goal.
