Abstract: Various examples with respect to frequency-selective precoding for uplink (UL) transmissions in mobile communications are described. A processor of a user equipment (UE) receives signaling from a network node of a wireless network. The processor then performs a codebook-based UL transmission to the network node with frequency-selective precoding in a subband of a plurality of subbands according to the signaling received from the network. For non-codebook-based UL transmissions, the processor performs a non-codebook-based UL transmission of a beamformed sounding reference signal (SRS) to the network node by determining a precoder and performing frequency-selective precoding on the SRS using the precoder with a size of precoder bundling for the frequency-selective precoding in a frequency domain known by the network node.

Abstract: Methods of enabling multiuser superposition transmission (MUST) in LTE systems are proposed. MUST operation allows simultaneous transmission for multiple co-channel users on the same time-frequency resources. A higher-layer signaling is used for configuring a UE to enable MUST. When a UE is configured by higher layer to enable MUST, the UE will monitor physical-layer control signaling carrying scheduling information and MUST-related information. Depending on whether MUST exists in each subframe, the UE derives the power allocation between the UE and its co-channel UE on allocated resource blocks. The UE also derives the power allocation based on whether it is configured for CRS-based transmission mode or DMRS-based transmission mode.

Abstract: Various solutions with respect to uplink control information (UCI) feedback timing signaling in wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) identifies a type of uplink (UL) transmission to perform with respect to a network node of a wireless network. The UE receives a control signal from the network node and determines, based on the control signal, a timing offset of a transmission schedule for the identified type of the UL transmission. The UE performs the UL transmission to the network node according to the transmission schedule such that a first type of the UL transmission is performed with a first timing offset and a second type of the UL transmission is performed with a second timing offset different than the first timing offset.
