Abstract: A user equipment (UE) utilizes a first group of antenna ports at the UE for transmitting and receiving while utilizing a second group of antenna ports for receiving but not transmitting. The UE transmits to a base station (BS) a sounding reference signal (SRS) via the first group of antenna ports through a first channel of a communication link between the UE and the BS. The UE receives from the BS a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) via the first and second groups of antenna ports through the first channel and a second channel of the communication link. The UE determines an estimated channel response and a matrix such that a product of the matrix and a channel response of the first channel approximates a channel response of the second channel. The UE transmits to the BS a CSI feedback indicating at least the matrix.

Abstract: A transmitting node uses different reference signal sequences for different types of enhanced control channels. An example method begins with generating (1410) a first reference signal sequence, from a first initialization value, and generating (1420) a second reference signal sequence, from a second initialization value. These reference signal sequences are associated with two corresponding enhanced control transmissions. A first enhanced control channel and reference symbols taken from the first reference signal sequence are transmitted (1430), using first time-frequency resources and a first set of transmission points or a first set of antenna ports or both, and a second enhanced control channel and reference symbols taken from the second reference signal sequence are also transmitted (1440), using a differing second set of transmission points and/or a differing second set of antenna ports and/or a differing second set of time-frequency resources, in the same subframe or group of subframes.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a network device (e.g., a RPL router) executes fast local RPL recovery in a low power and lossy network (LLN). The network device, in response to becoming an orphan in a directed acyclic graph (DAG) topology, can utilize the data plane to maintain at least some data traffic by randomly forwarding the data traffic to identified neighbor devices, while eliminating children from the list of forwarders and by finding successors that can be used for re-parenting. Hence, when a RPL network device having lost its last feasible parent can avoid data loss and accelerate a re-parenting process using local repair in the data plane instead of the control plane of the routing protocol used to establish the DAG topology.
