    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described, which may be employed for wireless communication in contention-based (e.g., unlicensed or shared) spectrum. An aperiodic channel state information (CSI) reference signals (RS) may be used for channel quality indicator (CQI) measurements, for example. A user equipment (UE) may receive signaling to indicate the presence of CSI RS and may receive the CSI RS according to the signaling. The UE may then compute a CQI based on CSI RS, and transmit the CQI in a report to a base station. In some examples, a quasi-periodic CSI RS is used. For instance, the UE may determine a different location for the CSI RS. For example, the UE may identify a periodic anchor subframe, and locate the CSI RS based on constant offset from the anchor subframe. Periodic or a clear-channel-assessment-exempt transmission based CSI RS examples are also described.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods at a wireless communication system, a wireless communication device, a network communication node, and a control node, respectively, for bearer control in a wireless communication system (100). Specifically, the method comprises determining (S11), by the WCD or the network communication node, whether the number of radio bearers concurrently active for the WCD is at least one of equal to a threshold value and above the threshold value. If the threshold is reached, then the WCD or the network communication node transmits (S12), towards the control node (300), a first status message indicative of that the number of radio bearers concurrent active has reached the threshold value. The first status message is received by the control node and in response to the reception (S21) of the message the control node determines (S22), based on the first status message, whether an MBMS bearer is to be activated.

  • Patent number: 11178647
    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from a reduction in latency. For example, communication systems may benefit from an improved transmission of an uplink reference signal in an uplink channel. A method, in certain embodiments, includes determining by a user equipment a candidate location of a transmission of an uplink reference signal in a channel. The method also includes determining by the user equipment a triggering window associated with the candidate location of the transmission of the uplink reference signal in the channel. In addition, the method includes receiving an uplink grant for a data transmission from a base station. Further, the method includes transmitting the uplink reference signal based on the uplink grant being at least partially within the triggering window.

  • Patent number: 11159977
    Abstract: A method of controlling performance of a wireless device is performed by a node that is in electronic communication with a cellular network. The node includes a processor, a non-transitory memory, and a network interface. The method includes receiving a performance value characterizing a performance of a communication channel between a wireless device and a wireless access point. In some implementations, the wireless device and the cellular network are associated with different radio access technologies (RATs). The method includes determining whether the performance value breaches a performance criterion for the wireless device. The method includes adjusting a first amount of data transmitted to the wireless device from a base station of the cellular network and a second amount of data transmitted to the wireless device from the wireless access point. In some implementations, the combined first and second amounts of data satisfy the performance criterion for the wireless device.
