  • Publication number: 20200106503
    Abstract: Techniques and examples pertaining to enhanced Type II channel state information (CSI) in mobile communications are described. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a network node of a wireless network, one or more reference signals via a communication link between the UE and the network node. The UE constructs a precoder such that a number of selected beams for a plurality of delay taps is reduced. The UE also constructs a linear combination-based CSI feedback by utilizing the precoder such that overhead in the CSI feedback is reduced compared to a case in which the number of selected beams for the plurality of delay taps is not reduced. The UE then transmits the CSI feedback to the network node.

  • Publication number: 20190215809
    Abstract: Various examples with respect to resource allocation and VRB-to-PRB mapping in mobile communications are described. A processor of a user equipment (UE) establishes a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication link with a network node of a wireless network. The processor receives data from the network node, with the data represented by a plurality of resource block groups (RBGs) in a frequency domain in terms of resource allocation. The processor then processes the data. In receiving the data, the processor receives in one or more precoding resource block groups (PRGs) of a plurality of PRGs in the frequency domain via the MIMO wireless communication link. The plurality of RBGs and the plurality of PRGs are aligned in the frequency domain.

  • Publication number: 20190159215
    Abstract: Various examples pertaining to multi-transmit/receive point (TRP) interference control in wireless communications are described. A processor of a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network node, a downlink measurement reference signal and configures an interference measurement resource (IMR) associated with a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource of the UE based on the DL measurement reference signal. The processor measures a channel response of a communication channel between the UE and the network node. The processor also measures an interference using the IMR. The processor then generates a precoder based on the measured channel response and the measured interference. The processor further performs an uplink transmission to the network node using the precoder.

  • Publication number: 20190103907
    Abstract: Various solutions with respect to codebook-based uplink transmission in wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) stores information with respect to a plurality of permutations with respect to a mapping between a plurality of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources and a plurality of antenna ports at the UE. The UE receives signaling from a network node of a wireless network. The signaling contains an index identifying a permutation among the plurality of permutations. The UE performs an uplink transmission of data to the network node using one or more SRS resources of the plurality of SRS resources and one or more antenna ports of the plurality of antenna ports according to the identified permutation.

  • Publication number: 20180367202
    Abstract: Techniques and examples pertaining to codeword mapping in New Radio (NR) and interleaver design for NR are described. A processor of an apparatus receives, via a transceiver of the apparatus, a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmission from a network node of a wireless network. The processor maps one or more codeblocks of a codeword in the PDSCH transmission to a spatial layer group which is a subset of a plurality of spatial layers. The processor also performs receive processing for one or more codeblocks in the PDSCH transmission including by performing de-interleaving on a result from a channel interleaver or from an intra-codeblock interleaver that performs pseudo-random interleaving on systematic bits and parity bits of the one or more codeblocks and channel decoding. The processor transmits, via the transceiver, to the network node a feedback concerning the one or more codeblock and reporting a result of the channel estimation.

  • Publication number: 20180302192
    Abstract: Techniques and examples of layer mapping, channel state information (CSI) feedback and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback in mobile communications are described. A user equipment (UE) receives from a base station one or more reference signals, which may be non-zero power (NZP) or zero power (ZP), on one or more time-frequency resources indicated by a network via a communication link between the UE and the base station. The UE estimates, based on the receiving, a subspace spanned by a channel response of an interfering signal. The UE determines a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) based on the estimated subspace. The UE transmits to the base station a channel state information (CSI) feedback comprising at least the PMI. The PMI may include at least a first precoder and a second precoder.
