  • Publication number: 20190394002
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that support sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission in low latency wireless transmissions. A set of shortened transmission time intervals (sTTIs) for uplink transmissions of a first wireless service may be identified; the set of sTTIs located within subframe time boundaries of a subframe of a second wireless service with a longer TTI than the sTTIs. Two or more sTTIs within the set of sTTIs may be used for SRS transmissions within the subframe time boundaries.

  • Publication number: 20190386809
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may allocate resources for communication with a user equipment (UE). The resources may include one or more subframes, and each subframe may include one or more shortened transmission time intervals (sTTIs). Each sTTI may be assigned a transmission direction according to a time division duplex (TDD) pattern. Based on traffic needs and/or interference from other UEs and/or base stations, the base station may determine to modify the TDD pattern used for communication. Accordingly, a base station may transmit an indicator in a control message or control region of a TTI or sTTI, to indicate to users that a transmission direction of an sTTI in the TDD pattern is being changed. Subsequently, a user may communicate with the base station according to the reconfigured TDD pattern.

  • Publication number: 20190380129
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit uplink (UL) messages in unlicensed spectrum with a reduced UL timing delay. The UL timing delay may be reduced by using a shortened transmission time interval (TTI) (e.g., a TTI that is reduced in duration relative to other TTIs in the system or in a legacy system) or by reducing the number of TTIs between a grant and the corresponding UL message. The reduced UL timing delay may decrease the likelihood that the UE will wait for a subsequent transmit opportunity (TxOp) to transmit the UL message. In some cases, the reduced UL timing delay corresponds to a reduced hybrid automatic repeat request (HARM) processing delay. In some cases, a time difference (e.g., measured in TTIs) between a measurement reference TTI a corresponding channel state information (CSI) report may also be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10499356
    Abstract: Modifiable guard periods are provided for time division duplexing (TDD) wireless communications. Guard periods may be modified based at least in part on propagation delay information, such as timing advance (TA) information, for one or more user equipment (UE) in a TDD wireless system. Modifiable guard periods may allow for enhanced system efficiency for the TDD wireless system relative to systems that may use a static or semi-statically configured guard period for TDD communications. Modifiable guard periods may in some cases allow one or more uplink or downlink transmissions to be provided within a legacy guard period of a legacy TDD special subframe.

  • Patent number: 10470170
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device such as a user equipment (UE) or a base station may identify a set of resource element groups (REGs) for low latency communication, and each REG may include a portion of a different resource block (RB) of a set of RBs (e.g., a set of non-contiguous RBs). The device may then map an uplink control channel to the selected REGs and communicate on the uplink control channel accordingly. Reference signals may also be transmitted in the same RBs, and the REGs may be mapped around the resources used for reference signals. In some cases, multiple UEs may transmit uplink control data using the same resources using code division multiplexing (CDM) (e.g., if the control payload is relatively small). In other cases, multiple UEs may be frequency division multiplexed (FDM).

  • Patent number: 10448405
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for mitigating resource conflicts between ultra low latency (ULL) and legacy transmissions. A base station may determine a region of a subframe having overlapping resource allocations for a first device of a first type (e.g., ULL device) and a second device of a second type (e.g., legacy device), wherein the first device of the first type has a capability to perform certain procedures with low latency relative to the second device of the second type that lacks the capability. The base station may modulate data from the region of the subframe for transmission to the first and the second devices, using a hierarchical modulation scheme.

  • Patent number: 10447457
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for identifying uplink transmissions that are to be made using shortened transmission time intervals (sTTIs), and allocating uplink resources for such transmissions. A portion of the uplink resources may be reserved for reference signal transmissions, such as demodulation reference signal (DMRS) transmissions. Resources for a number of sTTIs may be aligned within a slot that comprises a number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, and one of the OFDM symbols may have resources reserved that are to be shared by two or more sTTIs within the slot for DMRS transmission. The reserved OFDM symbol may be shared by two overlapping sTTIs in which the reserved OFDM symbol is common between the two sTTIs. A DMRS sequence for each sTTI may be selected based on the allocated uplink resources for the sTTIs.

  • Patent number: 10440728
    Abstract: Various aspects relate to determining whether one or more subframes are multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) subframes. A user equipment (UE) can receive, from a base station, a system information broadcast signal that includes an indication of one or more subframes as MBSFN subframes, and a subsequent system information broadcast signal that indicates at least scheduling information for a multicast control channel (MCCH) in at least a portion of the one or more subframes. The UE can determine, based at least in part on the indication or on the subsequent system information broadcast signal, a numerology for a physical multicast channel (PMCH) corresponding to the MCCH in at least the portion of the one or more subframes, and can process at least the portion of the one or more subframes based at least in part on the scheduling information or the numerology for the PMCH.

  • Patent number: 10433339
    Abstract: Wireless devices may exchange data related to multiple available random access procedures for network access. A random access procedure of the available random access procedures may be selected, and a random access message transmitted based on the selected random access procedure. Available random access procedures may include procedures that provide for a different number of random access messages or that are for use in communications having different transmission time intervals (TTIs). For example, a random access procedure may include a total of two random access messages or a total of four random access messages for accessing the wireless communications network. The use of one random access procedure instead of the other may depend on a wireless device's location relative to its serving base station.

  • Patent number: 10432386
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may identify a configuration for uplink and downlink communications that defines subframe configuration options for each subframe of a frame. For example, the configuration may establish parameters for time division duplexing (TDD) operation between a base station and a user equipment (UE). The wireless device may determine a constraint for a subframe of the frame based on the configuration and determine an adaptive subframe configuration based on the constraint. The adaptive subframe configuration may include one or several downlink symbol periods and one or several uplink symbol periods. The wireless device may communicate during the subframe according to the adaptive subframe configuration rather than the original configuration. The adaptive subframe may be constrained by the identified uplink and downlink configuration, which may avoid disruption to UEs.
