Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for increasing uplink beamforming gain. In one aspect there is provided a method of identifying user equipment which makes use of the proposed new beam-sweeping random access channel procedure that enables the base station to identify the best uplink transmit beam rather than the first beam that the base station managed to detect. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Methods for UL RACH coverage extension

Method, apparatus and computer program product where a base station broadcasts a signal indicating that at least one time-frequency region, which is unused by a data transmission in a first radio access technology, is available for a transmission, allowing the base station to maintain support for and/or extending coverage of certain legacy user equipment. Such a transmission includes system information for a second radio access technology, wake-up signal, synchronization signal, and/or extension of the data transmission. Thereafter, the base station transmits such a transmission in the at least one time-frequency region that was indicated.

Method for standalone MTC operation

A determination is made, for a base station that transmits on an operating frequency, whether a radiation pattern of each of one or more neighboring frequencies is correlated with a radiation pattern of the operating frequency. In response to a determination that the radiation pattern of each of the one or more neighboring frequencies is correlated with that of the operating frequency, a computation is made of a total radiated power estimate of each of the one or more neighboring frequencies by performing a beam-based directions procedure for the base station. The total radiated power estimates of each of the one or more neighboring frequencies are output.

The present invention is related to an apparatus and method for signaling information exchanging in CoMP (Coordinated Multi-Point). According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a method for signaling information exchanging, a service TP (Transmission Point) and at least one neighboring TP provide the CoMP to at least one UE (User Equipment). The method comprises receiving by the service TP a precoder feedback from at least one UE, wherein the precoder is specific to one of the least one neighboring TP. The service TP decides if the precoder should be sent to the specific neighboring TP. If affirmative, the service TP compresses an indicator indicating the precoder and sends the compressed indicator to the specific neighboring TP.

A method for determining resources to be decoded by the UE to retrieve physical downlink control channels. A method is in a UE or an eNB and comprises the following steps of: i. determining a start position of a unit of resources in one physical resource block pair; ii. determining a gap between two of the units; and iii. determining a set of units, in a given plurality of physical resource block pairs, according to said start position and said gap, as the resources to be decoded. In this way, the eNB and the UE can locate all the resources for the EPDCCH, namely the search space is determined. This aspect allows a balance between the number of blind decoding and eNB scheduling flexibility in the EPDCCH search space.
