A method, wireless device and network node are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method for a wireless device includes receiving a configuration of a reference signal resource set from the network node, the reference signal resource set being a set of single-symbol and single antenna port reference signal resources in at least one slot; and based on at least one parameter of the received configuration, determining whether the UE can assume a same antenna port for all reference signal resources of the reference signal resource set.

Methods and apparatuses for downlink tracking reference signal configuration

Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes receiving a downlink signal comprising an uplink access configuration index, using the uplink access configuration index to identify an uplink access configuration from among a predetermined plurality of uplink access configurations, and transmitting to the wireless communications network according to the identified uplink access configuration. The example method further includes, in the same wireless device, receiving, in a first subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission formatted according to a first numerology and receiving, in a second subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology. Variants of this method, corresponding apparatuses, and corresponding network-side methods and apparatuses are also disclosed.

Network architecture, methods, and devices for a wireless communications network

A method performed in a network node for configuring UE with dynamic spectrum sharing between a first RAT and a second RAT in a wireless communications system is disclosed. The network node configures an initial bandwidth part, BWP, for a UE, spanning across a dedicated spectrum for the first RAT and a shared spectrum between the first and second RATs, wherein synchronization signals of the first RAT are configured in the dedicated spectrum, and at least some other signals of the first RAT are configured in both dedicated and shared spectrum. The first RAT is NR and the second RAT is LTE.

Network node and method for dynamic spectrum sharing between radio access technologies

Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications network, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes determining a reporting quality threshold for a parameter related to channel state information (CSI); performing a measurement for each of a plurality of beams from a first predetermined set of beams for evaluation; evaluating the measurement for each of the plurality of beams against the reporting quality threshold; discontinuing the performing and evaluating of measurements in response to determining that the reporting quality threshold is met for one of the beams, such that one or more beams in the first predetermined set of beams are not measured and evaluated; and reporting, to the wireless communications network, CSI for the one of the beams.

There is disclosed a method of operating a network node in a New Radio, NR, radio access network. The method includes transmitting data signaling in a slot corresponding to an LTE MBSFN subframe, the data signaling being rate-matched around resource elements corresponding to resource elements according to a configuration for Cell-Reference Signaling, CRS, for LTE non-MBSFN subframes. The disclosure also pertains to related methods and devices.

Data signaling in LTE/NR coexistence

A method and apparatus are disclosed for LTE-NR spectrum sharing. In one embodiment, a method for a wireless device (WD) includes obtaining a configuration of at least one reference signal of a first radio access technology that overlaps in time with a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service Single Frequency Network, MBSFN, subframe of a second radio access technology. In another embodiment, a method for a network node includes configuring at least one reference signal of a first radio access technology to overlap in time with a MBSFN subframe of a second radio access technology.

MBSFN subframe usage for LTE-NR spectrum sharing

A node () of a wireless communication network manages sending of control information to a radio device (). For a first frequency band, the control information indicates a first start position for transmission of a data channel. For a second frequency band, the control information indicates a second start position for transmission of the data channel. Based on the first start position and the second start position, the node () controls transmission of data on the data channel.

Flexible indication for start position of data channel

Embodiments include exemplary methods and/or procedures for receiving a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a cell of a time-division-duplexed (TDD) radio access network (RAN). Embodiments include determining whether remote base station interference is present in uplink transmissions in the cell and, based on the determining result, configuring activation or deactivation of code block group (CBG) based retransmissions in the cell, sending control messages to one or more UEs in the cell, for applying the configuration, and decoding subsequent PUSCH transmissions received from the one or more UEs based on the configuration. Embodiments also include network nodes configured to perform the exemplary methods and/or procedures.

Remote interference mitigation for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)

There is disclosed a method of operating a user equipment in a radio access network, wherein the method comprises receiving tracking reference signaling, TRS, in a TRS pattern. The TRS pattern represents a distribution of subcarriers for carrying TRS over a range of subcarriers shifted relative to a reference subcarrier corresponding to a central frequency subcarrier of an LTE carrier.

TRS reference signaling in LTE/NR coexistence

There is disclosed a method of operating a user equipment in a NR radio access network, wherein the method comprises receiving channel state information reference signaling, CSI-RS, in a CSI-RS pattern. The CSI-RS pattern represents a distribution of subcarriers for carrying CSI-RS over a range of numbered subcarriers, and comprises a first subpattern and a second subpattern. The CSI-RS pattern is based on received first configuration information and received second configuration information. Further, the first configuration information indicates the first subpattern of subcarriers starting at a first starting subcarrier with even number, and the second configuration information indicates the second subpattern starting at a second starting subcarrier with an odd number. The disclosure also pertains to related methods and devices.
