Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing downlink signal reception with antenna panel switching in a wireless communication system. A cellular base station may receive an indication of an antenna panel activation delay from a wireless device.

Abstract: A network monitoring engine uses the routing and interface data of a monitored network to enrich received flow records with exit information. The routing data of the same network device at which the flow record is received is used to determine a next hop based upon the destination IP address of the flow record. In addition, interface data of the other devices is used to determine an egress device and interface of the network used to transmit traffic to the identified next hop. The flow record is enriched with exit information indicating an interface of the network the data packets of the flow record are expected to exit the network. By enriching the flow records as they are received, the exit information reflects how traffic is routed through the network at that time, even if the routing or interface information of the network later changes.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for reference signal design in wireless communications. A base station may select a reference signal density scheme from a set of available density schemes associated with a port count. The reference signal density scheme may also be selected based on the category of the mobile device receiving the reference signal transmissions. The reference signal density scheme may be a higher density reference signal density scheme or a lower density reference signal density scheme, where the higher density reference signal density scheme includes more reference signal resource elements per subframe. The mobile device may determine the reference signal density scheme based on characteristics of a channel. The higher density reference signal density scheme may provide additional channel estimation opportunities for the mobile device. In some cases, the mobile device sends the channel estimated based on the received reference signals to the base station.
