Abstract: Waveforms for wireless communication are shaped asymmetrically according to a complex-valued weighted overlap/add (WOLA) filter. A wireless communication device generates a waveform corresponding to a carrier. The device determines whether neighboring carriers are being used for wireless communication. If one neighboring carrier is occupied and the other is unoccupied, the wireless communication device applies the asymmetrical filter to the waveform such that out-of-band signals which may interfere with the occupied carrier are suppressed to a greater extent than out-of-band signals potentially present in or around the unoccupied carrier. The wireless communication device then transmits the asymmetrically shaped waveform to maximize interference reduction and signal quality.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may update a noise estimation (e.g., a noise covariance matrix, a log likelihood ratio (LLR) scaling, or both) for communications with a serving base station to account for interference from a neighboring base station operating according to a different radio access technology (RAT). For example, the UE may identify a transmission status of a base station operating according to a first RAT, such as long term evolution (LTE), that shares a radio frequency spectrum with a serving base station operating according to a second RAT, such as new radio (NR). The UE may measure the interference from the LTE base station and may update a noise estimation according to the measured interference. The UE and the serving base station may communicate based on the updated noise estimation.

The UE may perform a measurement procedure for the second SSB to detect a second beam of the base station based on the second timing offset. The UE may prune fake beams based on synchronization signals used for the measurement procedure.

Abstract: Transfer of Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Services (MBMS) over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) service and idle mode unicast service for a mobile entity from a source base station to a target base station may be managed by a base station or mobile entity of a cellular wireless communications system (WCS). Operations related to the transfer may include obtaining an MBMS status of the mobile entity, and/or obtaining MBMS support information for the base station. A network entity may facilitate MBMS discovery by a mobile entity, by transmitting a data element to the mobile entity including service identifiers mapped to corresponding cell identifiers to indicate respective MBMS services to be broadcast in an WCS area on adjacent cells identified by respective ones of the cell identifiers. The MBMS services may be broadcast within the WCS area using the adjacent cells previously indicated in the data element.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for facilitating dynamic measurement power offset adjustments for use in reporting channel quality feedback. A user equipment may generate and send a plurality of channel quality indicator (CQI) values to a base station. The base station determines whether at least some of the received CQI values are outside of an upper or lower threshold value. If at least some of the received CQI values are outside the upper or lower threshold value, the base station can transmit an adjusted measurement power offset to the user equipment. On receipt of the adjusted measurement power offset, the user equipment generates subsequent CQI values using the adjusted measurement power offset.

RF chains of the wireless device may be mapped to a virtual antenna configuration, which may be used to mitigate interference and subsequently process the desired receive signal. A determined interference channel may be used along with the determined signal of interest to map the RF chains to the virtual antenna configuration.
