    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate reduced density CSI (Channel State Information)-RS (Reference Signals). One example embodiment can be employed at a UE (User Equipment) and can comprise processing circuitry configured to receive and process a configuration message that comprises one or more configuration parameters for one or more CSI (Channel State Information)-RS (Reference Signal) APs (Antenna Ports) of a configurable density CSI-RS. The configuration parameters indicate a density of CSI-RS resource per Physical Resource Block (PRB) per CSI-RS AP and a PRB offset. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine a set of REs (Resource Elements) for the one or more CSI-RS APs of the configurable density CSI-RS based on the one or more configuration parameters and perform measurements on the configurable density CSI-RS from the set of REs to determine one or more CSI parameters. The one or more configuration parameters are provided per CSI-RS resource configuration.

    Abstract: Technology for an eNodeB operable to perform downlink (DL) transmissions using a Long Term Evolution (LTE) control region of a subframe for enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) is disclosed. The eNodeB can encode a system information block type 1 bandwidth reduced (SIB1-BR) for transmission 5 to a bandwidth reduced low complexity or coverage enhancement (BL/CE) user equipment (UE). The SIB1-BR can include an indication that the LTE control region in the subframe includes information for at least one of a machine type communication (MTC) physical downlink control channel (MPDCCH) transmission or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission. 10 The eNodeB can encode at least one of the MPDCCH transmission or the PDSCH transmission for delivery in a downlink over the LTE control region in the subframe to the BL/CE UE.

    Abstract: Techniques for interference-based beam selection are discussed. One example embodiment employable in a UE (User Equipment) can comprise a processor configured to: determine one or more parameters based on configuration signaling, wherein each of the one or more parameters is associated with at least one of channel measurements, interference measurements, or a beam information report; perform the interference measurements for each of one or more distinct UE beams; calculate a measurement metric for each beam pair of one or more beam pairs based on the interference measurements, wherein each beam pair comprises one of the one or more distinct UE beams and an associated NW (Network) beam; and generate the beam information report comprising the measurement metric for at least one beam pair of the one or more beam pairs.

    Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to perform downlink (DL) channel quality measurement reporting is disclosed. The UE can decode a system information block type y bandwidth reduced (SIBy-BR) received from an eNodeB. The SIB1-BR can instruct the UE to include a DL channel quality measurement report in a message 3 (Msg3) transmitted during a random access procedure between the UE and the eNodeB, wherein y is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. The UE can determine a DL channel quality measurement for a DL channel between the UE and the eNodeB. The UE can encode the Msg3 for delivery over an uplink channel to the eNodeB. The Msg3 can be delivered during the random access procedure and can include the DL channel quality measurement report with the DL channel quality measurement.
