Abstract: When beamforming (e.g., via a millimeter wave system (mmW)) is used for wireless communication, a base station may transmit beams that are directed to certain directions. Due to the directional nature of the beams in the mmW system, an approach to determine a beam that provides a desirable gain is studied. The apparatus may be a user equipment (UE). The apparatus receives, from a base station, a plurality of signals through a plurality of beams of the base station, each of the plurality of beams corresponding to a respective antenna port of a plurality of antenna ports of the base station, where the plurality of signals include a plurality of beam reference signals, a plurality of beam refinement reference signals, a plurality of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs), or a combination thereof. The apparatus performs channel estimation for each beam of the plurality of beams from the plurality of antenna ports based on the plurality of signals.

Abstract: A first apparatus may communicate with a user equipment (UE) through an active beam. The first apparatus may transmit, to the UE, information indicating a periodicity at which control information is to be communicated on a control channel through a control-information beam. The first apparatus may communicate, with the UE, the control information on the control channel through the control-information beam at the periodicity. Further, the first apparatus may receive a request to change the active beam, which may indicate a beam index corresponding to a second beam, and the first apparatus may change the active beam to the second beam corresponding to the beam index indicated by the request.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may identify a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration for user equipment (UE). The base station may transmit an SRS grant message to a UE indicating the SRS configuration. An indication of SRS parameters may be included in the SRS grant message, and may include the SRS parameters or a location of the SRS parameters. That is, SRS parameters may be transmitted in a control channel with the SRS grant message or may be separately sent in a data channel as indicated by the indication of SRS parameters. In some cases, SRS parameters may be determined based on previously received UE feedback regarding channel conditions or power limitations. Alternatively, the base station may make its own environment measurements or assign SRS parameters autonomously. The UE may signal SRS transmissions to the base station according to the SRS grant message.

Abstract: A wireless device configured for discontinuous reception (DRX) may and operating in a system that uses directional beamforming may identify a random access time period after awaking from a DRX sleep mode. The device may then transmit a scheduling request during the random access time period. In some cases, the device may transmit the scheduling request using frequency resources also associated with random access transmissions. In other cases, the device may utilize resources that are not associated with random access. The determination of which frequency resources are used may depend on the length of the DRX. That is, if a device has been in a sleep mode for a long time, it may use random access frequency resources that are associated with a more robust transmission configuration.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for phase noise estimation in data symbols for millimeter wave (mmW). A method for wireless communications by a transmitting device is provided. The method generally includes identifying a phase noise metric associated with at least one receiving device; determining a phase noise pilot configuration based, at least in part, on the identified phase noise metric; and providing an indication of the phase noise pilot configuration to the at least one receiving device. A receiving device can receive the phase noise pilots in accordance with the configuration and determine phase noise for a data symbol based on the received phase noise pilots.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for wireless communication at a base station. The base station may transmit a control message to a set of user equipments (UEs) using a directional transmission having a first beamform width. The base station may exchange, according to the control message, data messages with a first UE of the set of UEs using a directional transmission having a second beamform width. The second beamform width may be different from the first beamform width. The base station may exchange, according to the control message, data messages with a second UE of the set of UEs using a directional transmission having a third beamform width. The third beamform width may be different from the first beamform width, the second beamform width, or both.

Abstract: A receiving device may remain in omni-directional mode while receiving RTS messages from transmitting devices. Multiple devices may transmit RTS messages at the same time, causing interference and preventing intended recipients of the RTS messages from transmitting a CTS message. To increase medium reuse, RTS may be transmitted and received in a slotted and directional manner. A receiving device may select a sweeping pattern for receiving transmission from neighboring devices. The receiving device may also determine one or more time slots allocated to each of the neighboring devices for receiving transmissions from the neighboring devices. The receiving device may transmit an indication of the sweeping pattern and the time slots to one or more of the neighboring devices. Subsequently, during one of the indicated time slots, the receiving device may perform a beam sweep to receive one or more RTS messages from one of the neighboring devices.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may report a phase-noise compensation reference signal (PCRS) configuration to a base station to enable per-UE PCRS signaling. For example, a UE may operate in a wireless communications system using carrier frequencies greater than 6 GHz, which may be affected by phase noise. The UE may accordingly determine a PCRS configuration based on a capability to receive signals. The PCRS configuration may include a resource mapping for one or more PCRS, a number of PCRS ports used for PCRS, a multiplexing scheme for one or more PCRS ports, or the UE's phase noise estimation capability. The UE may then transmit a reporting message including the PCRS configuration to a base station. The base station may use the PCRS configuration for PCRS transmissions to the UE.
