Apparatus, systems, and methods to implement enhanced sounding reference signaling for uplink (UL) beam tracking in communication systems are described. In one example, an apparatus of an evolved Node B (eNB) comprising processing circuit to broadcast system information about one or more sets of uplink transmit time intervals and bandwidths available for a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission from a first user equipment (UE), configure one or more UE-specific SRS processes for the first UE for uplink beam tracking, and configure one or more millimeter wave access points (mmW APs) to transmit a mmW signal to the first UE and receive a mmW signal from the first UE. Other examples are also disclosed and claimed.

Enhanced sounding reference signaling for beam management

The disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices for protecting Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications (also known as intelligent transport systems (ITS) communications) from spurious emissions of nearby wireless devices operating in near-band or adjacent frequency bands. The system detects radio signals of a nearby ITS communication device, determines its radio communication parameters, and determines an interference condition based on whether the wireless device may interfere with the ITS communication device. The system also requests a change, based on the interference condition, in the radio subsystem communication parameters of the wireless device. The system also determines a geographic location of the wireless device, and, based on whether the requested change complies with a regulatory requirement of the determined geographic location, implements the requested change.

Systems, devices, and methods for protecting V2X communications from near-band interference

A base station may generate first configuration information to configure a first user equipment ('UE') to operate using a first bandwidth within a wideband carrier of a cell, generate second configuration information to configure a second UE to operate using a second bandwidth within the wideband carrier of the cell, and cause transmission of the first and second configuration information to the first and second UEs, respectively. The base station may configure the first and second UEs based upon capabilities received from each UE, respectively.

Wideband carrier configuration

Described is an apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with an Evolved Node-B (eNB) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to process a configuration transmission carrying a half-tone shifting indicator. The second circuitry may be operable to select one or more subcarrier frequencies for Uplink (UL) transmission based on the half-tone shifting indicator. The third circuitry may be operable to generate a UL transmission for the one or more subcarrier frequencies. The half-tone shifting indicator may have a first value indicating application of a half-subcarrier offset, and a second value indicating no application of the half-subcarrier offset.

Configurability and signaling for half-tone shift

Enhanced sounding reference signaling for uplink beam tracking

An architecture to allow the translation or conversion of short-range direct communications between devices with different radio access, such as in a V2X (vehicle-to-everything) communication context, is disclosed. In an example, a translation process, such as is performed by a mobile/multi-access edge computing (MEC) communication entity, includes: obtaining or accessing, at a translation function, a communication message (e.g., IP message) provided from a first device operating with a first radio access technology (e.g., LTE C-V2X), the message addressed to a second device operating with a second radio access technology (e.g., IEEE 802.11p or DSRC/ITS-G5); converting the communication message, with the translation function, into a format compatible with the second radio access technology; and initiating a transmission of the translated communication message, from the translation function, to the second device using the second radio access technology.

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) translation of radio access technology messages

According to various examples, a processing system is described comprising a plurality of hardware circuit components, each hardware circuit component configured to provide a processing functionality, a data path leading through the plurality of hardware circuit components, at least one programmable circuit and a controller configured to select one of the hardware circuit components to be replaced by the at least one programmable circuit, program the programmable circuit to provide the processing functionality provided by the selected hardware circuit component and configure the data path to lead through the programmable circuit instead of the selected hardware circuit component.

Wideband carrier confirguration

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), an Evolved Node-B (eNB), small-cell access point (AP), and methods for dynamic millimeter wave pencil cell communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive access point reference signals (APRS) from one or more small-cell access points (AP), and may transmit APRS signal quality measurements to a macro-cell Evolved Node-B (eNB). The UE may receive, from the macro-cell eNB, a message that indicates candidate pencil cells for which the UE is to determine signal quality measurements, the candidate pencil cells supported by the small-cell APs. The UE may receive beam reference signals (BRS) for the candidate pencil cells and may refrain from reception of BRS for pencil cells not included in the message. In some cases, beam-widths of the APRSs may be larger than beam-widths of the BRSs.

User equipment (UE) and methods for dynamic millimeter wave pencil cell communication

Apparatuses, methods and storage media associated with components and implementations of wireless communication networks, and/or portions thereof, are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus for a next generation NodeB (gNB) may include processing circuitry to determine a number of resource element groups (REGs) to be included in a resource element group bundle (REGB) for a new radio physical downlink control channel (NR-PDCCH), and generate a signal that indicates the number of the REGs. The gNB may further include encoding circuitry, coupled with the processing circuitry, to encode the signal for transmission to a user equipment (UE). Other embodiments may be disclosed throughout.

Control resource block set search space design

An architecture to allow the spatial separation of information sources, information processing, and information consumption using objects and tags, including in mobile/multi-access edge computing (MEC) communication environments, is disclosed. In an example, a request for information provided to a network entity (such as a MEC entity) results in the receipt of an object and a tag, as a device operates in an operational area of an information service. The object provides data for the information service, and the tag provides the metadata related to a context of the information service and the object from another entity, for another entity located within the operational area of the location service. The use of this object, including in the form of an application, data, or user object type, allows a transfer and use of data and context for the information service that is independent from the access network.

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) architecture and mobility framework

Methods and architectures are described to allow concurrent operation of two separate, non-synchronized, radio systems utilizing closely spaced frequency bands, such as IEEE 802.11p and LTE-V2X, or NR-V2X vehicular communications systems, with a common antenna. A full duplex-'like' active interference cancellation process may be employed that includes self-interference cancellation in the RF domain, in the analog domain and the digital baseband domain to reduce complexities and costs of stringent antenna isolation, otherwise required, for a simultaneous TX and RX mode of operation and concurrent RX mode of operation in closely spaced frequency resources.

Concurrent operation of intelligent transportation system (ITS) radios in a same frequency band with a common antenna

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods and apparatuses for physical downlink control channel (PD-CCH) demodulation reference signal (DMRS) transmission and reception.
