Abstract: Low complexity, high order multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) operations are described in which a user equipment (UE), configured with at least one normal performance receiver chain and at least one low-performance, low-complexity diversity receiver chain, signals a capabilities indicator identifying existence of the low-performance diversity receivers. Using the UEs capabilities, a serving base station may schedule uplink and downlink transmissions for the UE to reduce uplink-downlink collisions below a minimum threshold number. The serving base station may also take UE transmit power into consideration for signaling power control or modulation and coding schemes in order to minimize potential interference cause by UE transmissions. For channel state feedback, the UE may provide different channel feedback for uplink-downlink collision subframes and non-collision subframes.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes a transmit chain that includes multiple radio frequency transmitters, multiple power amplifiers and a front end (FE) through which signals are transmitted. To achieve a high power UE solution, aspects of the disclosure selectively combine two or more power amplifier outputs based on an expected power output of the UE.

Abstract: Techniques for determining power relaxation values are disclosed. The power relaxation values may be determined according to an ending resource block (RB) and a number of RBs in a contiguous allocation. In one aspect, the power relaxation values are arranged into regions based, at least in part, on transmission channel bandwidths and the distance from a protected adjacent channel. A user equipment (UE) can determine a power relaxation value for its current allocation using the ending RB index and contiguous RB length and can adjust its transmission power accordingly. Evolved NodeBs may estimate the power relaxation that a particular UE has selected in order to more accurately determine the transmit power available to the UE. Using the more accurate estimate of transmit power, the eNB may schedule the UE for uplink transmissions accordingly.
