  • Patent number: 10855407
    Abstract: Devices and methods of receiving a PDCCH-less xSIB are generally described. A UE receive a xPBCH that occurs in a 0th or a 25th subframe and an ePBCH in an ePBCH transmission block. The ePBCH has the xSIB and is received on different Tx beams. The ePBCH spans consecutive symbols on the same subcarrier and with the same ePBCH symbol. The frame number, subframe number and symbol number of the ePBCH is dependent on a subframe number and symbol number of the xPBCH. The number of beams received for a particular symbol is dependent on a total number of beams, a beam sweeping time for the beams and a transmission periodicity of the xPBCH and ePBCH. The UE also uses different OCCs to demodulate a DMRS from different APs, in a same PRB as the ePBCH.

  • Patent number: 10849152
    Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for beam management is disclosed. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI), wherein the TCI is configured for a control channel and a data channel for all bandwidth parts (BWPs) of the UE or all component carriers (CCs) of the UE. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a synchronization signal block (SSB) or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for beam management with a repetition parameter set to “ON” transmitted in one BWP or one CC in a first set of symbols. The UE can be configured to identify, at the UE, a scheduling restriction for the first set of symbols for the control channel and the data channel, wherein the scheduling restriction indicates that downlink transmission in the first set of symbols is not expected.

  • Patent number: 10516461
    Abstract: Devices and methods of beamforming are generally described. A UE transmits to an eNB a BRSRP report having selected BRSRP values and associated BRS IDs. An active link list, a CSI resource indication, and a first active link are used to measure the CSI resource and CSI feedback is sent. A serving link ID is provided to indicate a second active link to use for control and data reception. Rx beams are trained based on multiple instances of each BRS and the eNB supplies selection criteria for the BRSRP report. The Rx beams are refined based on BRRS and the second active link is dependent on BRRSRP or CSI feedback. When configured for dual beam operation, the BRSRP feedback corresponds to BRSRP value pairs and dual Rx beams associated with a pair of serving link IDs are used.

  • Publication number: 20190342826
    Abstract: Systems and methods of providing timing information for initial access in an unlicensed band are described. A UE monitors a new radio discovery signal (NRDS-U) window in an unlicensed band for a DRS transmission that is constrained to be transmitted within the NRDS-U window. The UE determines initial access information, including an offset that indicates when the DRS transmission occurs within the NRDS-U window, and engages in initial access dependent on the offset. The offset is from a radio frame or half radio frame boundary or the start of the NRDS-U window. The offset is indicated in three least/most significant bits an SSB index or from an s1-offset field in a MIB of the SSB. When the base station uses a DFS channel, the base station transmits a periodic signal to emulate a radar signal.

The DCI provides allocation of uplink frequency resources of a transmission bandwidth. The allocation is a block interleaved frequency division multiple access (B-IFDMA) allocation including a plurality of interleaved physical resource blocks (PRBs) forming M number of interlaces within the transmission bandwidth, and N number of PRBs within each interlace of the M number of interlaces, with N and M being integers greater than or equal to 1. Data is encoded for transmission to a base station via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using the B-IFDMA allocation of uplink frequency resources.
