Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is arranged to send an uplink power reference signal to an enhanced Node B (eNB) associated with multiple reception points (RPs), to receive identification of an RP set and a downlink reference signal power level, to determine a path loss estimate for each downlink reference signal received from RPs of the RP set, to determine an uplink power level that is a function of the path loss estimates determined for the downlink signals received from the RPs of the RP set, and to use the determined uplink power level during communication with the multiple RPs.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, computer readable media, and/or apparatus related to encoding wireless communication preamble structures with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) that is performed on both a common part, as well as, station specific parts of a signaling field. The signaling field generated by this mechanism may be relatively shorter, resulting in less preamble overhead, than if a separate CRC was to be provided for each of the station specific parts, as well as the common part of the signaling field. In additional embodiments, tail bits may be provided for a combination of the common part of the signaling field and each station specific part of the signaling field. Compared to providing tail bits separately for the common part and each of the station specific parts, removing the tail bits from the tail bits form the common part may result in relatively less overhead of the preamble structure.
