Abstract:
Techniques for scrambling sequence generation may provide scrambling for a reference signal, a control signal, or a data signal that is independent of a center frequency of a wireless system bandwidth. Generated scrambling sequences may allow for demodulation of signals in which a synchronization channel does not share a same center frequency as the wireless system bandwidth.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may receive a plurality of synchronization signal blocks, wherein the plurality of synchronization signal blocks include a synchronization signal block and one or more retransmissions of the synchronization signal block that are received in a synchronization interval, and wherein two or more synchronization signal blocks, of the plurality of synchronization signal blocks have a fixed relationship in time. The wireless communication device may determine synchronization information based at least in part on one or more of the plurality of synchronization signal blocks and the fixed relationship in time. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for utilizing a dedicated reference signal for demodulating a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. For example, the method and apparatus include configuring, at a network entity, at least one dedicated Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) in one or more symbols corresponding to a PBCH, each dedicated DMRS being used for demodulating the PBCH. The described aspects further include transmitting, by the network entity, the at least one dedicated DMRS to one or more UEs using at least a single antenna port.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for payload-less physical uplink measurement indication channel (PUMICH) design for uplink based mobility. According to certain aspects, a method of wireless communication by a base station (BS) is provided. The method generally includes selecting a first set of random access procedure (RACH) sequences from a second set of RACH sequences, wherein the second set of RACH sequences comprises a pruned set of RACH sequences, and wherein at least some of the first set of RACH sequences selected for a first user equipment (UE) is also available for selection for a second UE, and transmitting the selected first set of RACH sequences to a UE in response to a request from the UE.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for enabling and providing uplink based mobility procedures are disclosed. Embodiments provide uplink based mobility procedures in which one or more physical channel typically used to facilitate uplink based mobility is not utilized.
Abstract:
Aspects for balancing power output on the plurality of antennas for the transmission of a transport block are disclosed. In accordance with the present disclosure, a transmitter may balance the power output on a plurality of transmit antennas in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system by having a precoded data block bypass a virtual antenna mapping of the overhead channels (e.g., control channels). Additionally or alternatively, the transmitter may balance the power output on the plurality of transmit antennas by applying an inverse mapping parameter during the precoding process to the transport block to generate a plurality of inverse mapped precoded data blocks. In some examples, the inverse mapping parameter may be an inverse of the mapping parameter. Thus, in accordance with the present disclosure, precoding a transport block may include selecting a precoding weight for each of the plurality of antennas from an unrestricted precoding weight set.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for effectuating a signal carrier configuration are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving an order, determining a signal carrier on which the order was received, determining a signal carrier configuration based at least in part on the order and the determined signal carrier, and changing the state of one or more signal carriers to effectuate the signal carrier configuration.
Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for enabling a user equipment (UE) operating in carrier aggregation mode to use different connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX) configurations for different sets of component carriers associated with different sets of numerologies. For example, in Frequency 1 (FR1) plus Frequency 2 (FR2) carrier aggregation (i.e., one or more FR1 component carriers and one or more FR2 component carriers), a different CDRX can be configured for FR1 than for FR2. In inter-band carrier aggregation (i.e., one or more component carriers in one frequency band and one or more component carriers in another frequency band), CDRX can be configured per band. For mixed numerologies carrier aggregation (i.e., one or more component carriers with a first numerology and one or more component carriers with a different numerology), CDRX can be configured per cell group, where each cell group contains a single numerology or mixed numerologies.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communications system may employ joint paging techniques. Multiple base stations may coordinate to determine joint paging parameters for a joint paging area. Each base station in the joint paging area may use the same paging parameters to generate the same joint paging message. The base stations in the joint paging area may communicate over backhaul links, such as an Xn interface. A user equipment (UE) in the joint paging area may be provided the joint paging parameters and monitor for paging messages based on the joint paging configuration. In some cases, the UE may be provided the joint paging parameters in a resource release message. Additionally, or alternatively, a base station of the joint paging area may broadcast the joint paging parameters.
Abstract:
Techniques are described herein for signaling procedures that use a hierarchical mobility, which may be applied when a user equipment (UE) is operating in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state or the RRC idle state. A wireless communication system may be configured with a plurality of areas in which one or more networks are established for communicating certain types of signals. Examples of the areas associated with networks may include a tracking area (TA), a radio access network area code (RAN-AC), a radio access network based notification area (RNA). A synchronization signal or a paging signal may be transmitted using a first set of communication resources in a first area, while the synchronization signal or the paging signal may be transmitted using a second set of communication resources in a second area different than the first set of communication resources.
