For a beamformed transmission, the amplitude and phase of each antenna in an array of antennas may’ be recoded, or controlled to erete desired (i, directional) pattem of constructive and destructive interference in the waver [0049] | MIMO: mulkipfesinpot multiple-output, MIMO is 3 ‘ulti-antenta techoology that exploits multipath signal propagation so that the information-caerying capacity of @ ‘wireless link eam be multiplied by using multiple antennas at the teansmiter and receiver to send multiple simultaneous ‘reams. At the mul-untenna transmitter, suitable procod- ing algorithm (seating the respective steams’ amplitude and phase) is applied (in some examples, based on knowa ‘channel state infomation). At the mult-antenna receiver, the different spatial signatures of the respective streams (and, in some examples, known channel state information) ‘can enable the separation ofthese streams from one another. 10050] 1. In single-user MIMO, the transmitter sends one ‘or more streams fo the same receiver, taking advantage of capacity gains associated with using multiple Tx, RX fanlennas in rich sealtering environments where channel variations can be wacked. [0081] 2. The receiver may track these channel variations and provide corresponding Feedback to the transmitter, This feedback may include channel quality information (CQ, the number of preferred data streams (erate control, 2 rank indicator (RID), and » precoding, matrix index (PMD). 10052] - Massive MIMO: a MIMO system witha very lange umber of antennas (e-., greater than an 838 aay) [0053] MU-MIMO: a multi-antenns technology’ where base station, in communication with a large number of Us, ‘ean exploit multipath signal propagation fo increase overall, retwork capacity by increasing throwghpot and. spectral cellcieny, and reducing the required transmission ener Jan. 31, 2019 [0054] 1. ‘The transmitter may attempt to increase the capacity by transmitting to multiple users wsing its mul tiple transmit antennas at the sume time, and also using the sume allocated time-frequency resources, The receiver may transmit feedback including a quantized version of the chanel so that the transmitter can schedule the receivers with good channel separation, The transmitted ddta is precoded to maximize throughput for wsers and ‘minimize intersuser interference [0055] The various concepts presented throughout this sisclosure may be implemented aeross a broad variety of telecommunication systems, nctwork architectures, and communication standards. Referring now to FIG. 1, as an ilkistative example without limitation, a scheme ilastr- ‘ion of a radio aovess network 100 i provided. [0056] The geographic region covered by the radio access network 100 may he divided into a mimber of eelllar regions (cells) that can be uniquely identified by a user equipment (UE) based on an identification broadcasted over 4 geographical area from one access point or base station.

[0064] In some examples, a mobile network node (e quadcopter 120) may be configured to function a 3 UE. For samp, the quadeoper 120 may operate within el 102 by ‘comnunicaing wth bse station 110, In same aspecs of the disclosure, two or more UE (et, UES 126 and 128) may eemmunicate with each other using peer to peer (P2D) oF Sidelink signals 127 without relaying that communication through a ase station (es, base sation 112) [0065] In the radio access network 100, the ability foe 8 LUE to communicate while moving, independent of its lca Sin, is efere to as mobility. The varows pysical channels betwen the UE and the radio aeess network are generally Se up, miiatained, and released under the control of aa access and. mobility management function (AMF), which ‘may inclnde 9 security context management fantion {SCMF) that manages the suri context for Both the conto plane andthe user plane functionality, and a security anchor fonction (SEAF) tht performs autbentcation. In ‘aos aspects ofthe disclosure, a ratio acess network 100 tay utilize DL-hased mobility or UL-bssed mobility 1 tenable mobility and handovers (2 the transfer of a UE's onneetion ftom one ridin channel 6 another) Ina network configured for DE-based mobility, daring’ call with 9 Scheduling entity, or at any oer time, « UE may monitor ‘arious parameters ofthe signal rom it serving cll s well 2s various parameters of ighhoring cells Depending on the quali’ of these parameters, the UE may maintUS 2019/0036590 AI ‘communication with one of more of the neighboring cells, Dring this time, ifthe UE moves from one cell to anther, ‘or if signal quality from a neighboring cel exceeds that fom, the serving cell for a given amount of time, the UF may undertake handoff or handover from the serving cell the neighboring (target) cell. For example, UE 124 (illustrated ‘a8 vehicle, although aay suitable foam of UE may be used) may move from the geographic area comresponding 10 its serving cell 102 to the geographic area corresponding to a neighbor cell 106. When the signal strength or quality from the neighbor ell 106 exceeds that of its serving cell 102 for given amount of time, the UP 124 may transmit a reporting message to its serving base station 110 indicating this ‘condition. In response, the UE 124 may receive # handover ‘command, and the UE may underpo a handover to the cell, 106, 10066] Ina network configured for UL-based mobility, UL reference signals from each UE may be utilized by the network to select a serving cell for each UE. In some ‘examples, the base stations 110, 112, and 114/116 may broadcast unified synchronization signals (eg. unified Pri- mary Synchronization Signals (PSSs), unified Secondary ‘Synchronization Signals ($S8s) and unified Physical Broad- ‘east Channels (PBCH)). The UES 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, ‘and 132 may receive the Unified synchronization signal, derive the carier frequency and slot ming fom the syn- ‘chronization signals, and in response to deriving timing, transmit an uplink plat or reference signal. The uplink plot signal transmitted by a UE (eg, UE 124) may be concur rently rccived hy two or more cells (¢., base stations 110 ‘and 114/116) within the radio aceess network 100. Fach of the cells may measure a strength ofthe pilot signal, and the radio aecess network (e.g, one or more of the base stations (0 and T1416 andior central node within the core network) may determine 9 serving cell for the UE 124, As the UE 124 moves through the dio access network 100, the network may’ continne to monitor the uplink pilot signal transmitted by the UP 124. When the signal strength or ‘quality ofthe pilot signal measured by a neighboring cell, ‘exccods that ofthe signal strengths or quality measured by the serving cell the network 100 may handover the UE. 124 Tom the serving ello the neighboring cell, with or without ‘informing the UE 124 {0067} Although the synchronization signal transmitted by the base stations 110, 112, and 114/116 may’ be unified, the syichronization signal may not identify a particular cel, but rater aay identify zone of ltiple cells operating on the same frequency andior with the same timing. The use of ‘zones in 3G networks or other next generation communica- tion networks enables the uplink-based mobility framework and improves the effcieney of both the UF and the network, since the number of mobility messages that need to be ‘exchanged borween the UE and the network may’be reduced, 10068] In some examples, aceess to the air interface may be scheduled, wherein scheduling entity (exe, base sation) allocates resources for communication among some ‘oral devices and equipment within its service area oF cel, Within the presont disclosure, as discussed futher below, the scheduling entity may be responsible for scheduling, assign- ‘ng, reconfiguring, and releasing resourees for one or more Scheduled entities. That i, for scheduled communication, UEs or schesiled entities utilize resources allocated by the scheduling entity Jan. 31, 2019 [0069] Base stations are not the only entities that may function asa scheduling entity. That i, in some examples, UE may function as a scheduling entity, scheduling resourves lor one oF more scheduled enlilies (@32. one oF ‘more other UES) In other examples, sidelink signals may be used between UES without necessarily relying on scheduling ‘or contol information froma base station, For example, UE 138 is illustrated communicating with UEs 140 and 142. In some examples, the UE 138 js functioning as a scheduling cnlty or «primary sidclink device, and UEs 140 and 142 ‘may funetion as scheduled entity oF a non-primary (eg. secondary) sidelink device. In sill another example, a UE ‘may function as a scheduling entity in @ deviee-to-devi (D2D), peero-peer (P2P), or vehice-to-vehicle (V2V) net- work, andor ina mesh network, In a_mesh network ample, UEs 140 and 142 may optionally communicate directly with one another in addition to communicating with the scheduling entity 138, [0070] Thus, in a wireless communication network with scheduled access to time-frequeney resources and having @ cellular configuration, a P2P configuration, or a mesh eon- figuration, a scheduling entity and one or more scheduled entities may communicate ulizing the scheduled resources. Referring now to FIG, 2, a block diagram illustrates @ scheduling entity 202 and a plurality of scheduled entities 204 (eg. 2040 and 204)). Here, the scheduling entity 202 ‘may correspond to a base station 110, 12, 114, andor 118. In additional examples, the scheduling entity 202 may correspond to a UE 138, the quadeopter 120, or any other suitable node inthe radio access network 100. Similarly, in various exaamples, the scheduled entity 204 may correspond to the UF 122, 124,126, 128, 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, 14 and 142, or any other suitable node in the radio aecess ‘etwork 100, [0071] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the scheduling entity 202 ‘ay broadcast tale 206 19 one or more scheduled entities 204 (the trafic may be refered to as downlink tmilfic). Broadly, the seheduling entity 202 is a node or device responsible for scheduling tnllc ina wireless communica- ‘ion network, including the downlink transmissions and, in some examples, uplink alc 210 from one or more seied- ‘led entities 10 the scheduling entity 202, Broadly, the scheduled entity 204 isa node or device that receives contol information, including but not limited to scheduling infor ‘ation (eg. a gran!) synchronization or timing informa- tion, or other contro information from another entity in the wireless communication nctwork such as the scheduling entity 202 0072]. Insome examples, sshedulod entities such a a ist scheduled entity 2040 und a second scheduled entity 2048 ‘ay uiilizesidelink signals for direct D2D communication ‘Sidetink signals may include sidelink trafic 214 and sidelink ‘control 216. Sidelink control information 216 may in some ‘examples include a request signal such as a request-to-send (RTS), a source transmit signal (STS), andor a direction seletion signal (DSS). The request signal may provide for a scheduled entity 204 to request a duration of time o keep 4 sdelink channel available fora sidelink signal. Sideink feontol information 216 may further include « response signal, such as a clearto-send (CTS) andor a destination receive signal (DRS). The response signal may provide for the scheduled entity 204 to indicate the availability of the sidelink channel, efor a requested duration of time. An exchange of request and response signals (eg, handshake)US 2019/0036590 AI ‘may enable different scheduled entities performing sidelink ‘communications to negotiate the availability of the sidelink ‘channel prior to communication ofthe sielink tale infor- ‘ation 214. 10073] ‘The air interface in the radio aceess network 100 ‘may ulilize one or more duplexing algorithms Duplex refers to a point-to-point communication link where both end- points can communicate with one another in both directions. Pall duplex means both endpoints can simultaneously com rninicate with one another Tlf dnplex means enly one ‘endpoint can send information to the other ata time. In 3 wireless link, a full duplex channel generally relies on physical isolation of a transmitter and roveiver, and suitable Interference cancellation technologies. Full duplex emula- tion is frequently implemented for wireless links by ulizing Jrequency division duplex (FDD) or time division duplex (TDD). In FDD, transmissions in diferent directions operate at diferent cartier frequencies. In TDD, transmissions in different directions om a given channel are separated from ‘one another using time division multiplexing. That is, a oe times the chanel i dedicated for transmissions in one direction, while a other times the channel is dedicated for transmissions inthe other direction, where the direction may ‘change very rapidly, eg. several times per slot 10074) In some aspects of the disclosure, the scheduling ‘entity andlor scheduled entity may be configured for beam= Torming andor mulipleinput- multiple-output (MIMO) technology. FIG. 3 illusirates an example of a wireless ‘communication system 300 supporting MIMO. In a MIMO. system, a transmitter 302 inches multiple transmit anten- ras 304 (eg. N transmit antennts) and a receiver 306 inchides multiple receive antennas 308 (eg. M receive antennas). Thus, there are NxM signal paths 310 from the transmit antennas $04 to the receive antennas 308. Each of the transmitter 302 and the reveiver 306 may be imple- mented, for example, within a scheduling entity 202, 9 scheduled entity 204, or any other suitable wireless com- Iminication devi, 10075] The use of such multiple antenna technology ‘enables the wireless communication system to exploit the spatial domain to support spatial multiplexing, beamform- ‘ng, and transmit diversity. Spatial multiplexing maybe wed to tansmit different steams of data, also referred to as layers, simultaneously on the same time-frequency resource The data streams may be transmitted to a single UE to increase the data rate or to multiple UEs to increase the ‘overall system capacity, the latter being referred (0 as multi-user MIMO (MU:MIMO). This is achieved by spa- tially procoding each data steam (ie, multiplying the data sireims with different weighting and phase shifting) and then transmitting each spatially precoded stream through ‘ulple transmit antennas on the dovalink. The spatially procoded data steeams arrive at the UE(s) with different Spatial signatures, which enables each of the UB(s) t0 recover the one oF more data streams destino for that UE. ‘On the uplink, cach UE transmits spatially precoded dats stream, which enables the base station to identify the source ‘ofeach spatially precoded data stream. [0076] |The number of data streams oF layers comesponds to the rank of the transmission, In general, the rank of the MIMO system 300 is limited by the number of transmit oF recive antennas 304 or 308, whichever is lower. In adition, the channel conditions at the IE, as well as other consid- ‘erations, such a the available rescurces a the base station, Jan. 31, 2019 vay also alec the transmission rank. For example, the uk (and therefore, the number of data streams) assigned (© a particular UE on the downlink may be determined based on the rank indicator (RI) transmitted from the UE to the base station. The RI may be determined based on the antenna configuration (eg., the number of transmit and receive antennas) and! 2 measured signal-t-interference-and-noise nntio (SINR) on each of the receive antennas. The RI may indicate, for example, the number of layers that may be supported under the current channel conditions, The base station may use the Rl, along with resource information (eg. the available resources and amount of data to be scheduled forthe UB), to assign a transmission rank to the UE. [0077] In Time Division Duplex (TDD) systems, the UL ‘and DL are reciprocal, in that each uses diferent Gime slots ofthe same frequency bandwidth, Therefore, in TDD sy tems, the base station may assign the rank for DL MIMO transmissions based oa UL SINR measurements (eg, based ‘ona Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmitted from the LUE ot other pilot signal). Based on the astigned mink, the base station may then transmit the CSLRS. with separate CARS sequences for each layer to provide for multi-layer channel estimation. From the CST-RS, the UE may measore the channel quality across layers and resource blocks and ‘eed back the CQT aad RI values tothe base station for use in updating the make and assigning REs for fture downlink transmissions [0078] In the simplest case, as shown in FIG. 3, a rank-2 spatial multiplexing transmission on a 2x2 MIMO antenna configuration will transmit one data steam from eae trans- ‘mit antenna 304, Bach data stream reaches each receive antenna 308 along a different signal path 340, The receiver 306 may then reconstruct the data streams using the rooeived signals Irom cach receive antenna 308, [0079] Transmissions over the radio access network 100 ‘may generally utilize suitable error eoerecting block coe Ina typical block code, an information message or sequence is split up into code blocks (CBs), and an encoder (eg. CODEC) at the transmitting doviee then mathematically als redundancy tothe information message. Exploitation of this redundancy in the eneoded information message can ‘improve the reliability ofthe message, enabling correction for any bit errors that may occur due to the noise. Some ‘examples of eror correcting codes include Hamming codes, ose-ChaudhiritTocquenghem (CH) codes. Turbo codes, low-density party check (LDPC) codes, and Polar codes Various implementations of scheduling eatites 202 and scheduled entities 204 may include suitable hardware and capabilities (eg, an encoder, decoder, andlor a CODEC) to utilize one oF more of these error comecting codes for wireless communication [0080] ‘The air interface inthe radio access network 100 ‘may utilize one or more multiplexing and multiple access algorithms to enable simultaneous communication of the various devices. For example, multiple aecess for uplink (UL) or reverse fink transmission from UES 122 and 124 19 base station 110 may be provided utilizing time division ‘multiple access (TDMA), code division multiple access (CDMA), frequency division nmtiple access (EDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA). ‘iserete Fourier transform (DFT)-spread OFDMA or single. carrier FDMA (DFT-s-OFDMA or SC-FDMA), sparse code tiple access (SCMA), resource spread multiple aecessUS 2019/0036590 AI (RSMA), or other suitable multiple access schemes.

That i, in a 5G NR radio access nctwork, itis anticipated that OFDM may be utilized for DL rans. missions, UL transmissions (OFDMA), andlor sidelink transmissions. Accordingly, it should be understood thst Various aspects of the present disclosure may be applied to any ofthese links when utilizing OFDM, Furthermore, in a 5G NR radio aceess network, a Waveform other than OFDM ‘may be utilized for UL andor sidelink transmissions, such ‘38 SC-FDMA. It should be further understood that various aspects of the present disclosure may he applied to an SC-FDMA waveform in substantially the same way as described herein below. Thats, while some examples ofthe disclosure may focus on a DLOFDM link for clarity, A should be understood that the same principles may be applied to DL.

Aa RE, hich is 1 subcarriers! symbol, i the ‘smallest discrete part of the ime-frequeney grid, and con- lains & single complex value representing dala from a physical channel or signal. Depending on the modulation Utilized in a particular implementation, each RE may rep- resent one or more bits of information, in some examples, @ block of REs may’ be referred to asa physical esouree block (PRB) oF more simply a resource block (RB) 408, which ‘contains any suitable number of consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. In one example, an RB may include 12 subcarriers, a number independent of the numerology used, In some examples, depending on the mimerology, an RB may include any suitable number of consecutive OFDM symbols in the time domain. An RB may be the smallest unit ‘oF resourees that can be allocated to a UE. Ths, the more RBs scheduled for a UE, and the higher the modulation scheme chosen for the air interface, the higher the data rate for the UE. In this illustration, the RB 408 is shown as ‘occupying lest than the entire bandwidth of the slot 402, ‘with some subcarriers illustrated above and below the RB 408, In a given implementation, the slot 402 may have a bandivdth corresponding to any number of ane or more RBs 408, Porther, inthis illustration, the RB. 408 is shown as ‘occupying less than the entire duration of the slot 402, although this is merely one possible example Jan. 31, 2019 [0084] A slot DL portion and isclosure, itis assumed that a single RB suchas the RB 408 tenlrely comesponds o a single direction of communication (Gither transmission or reception for a given device), [0088] _Ahough not illustrated in FIG. 4, the various RE 406 within the RB 408 may be seheduled to carry one or ‘mor: physical channels including contol channels, shared channels, data channels, ot.

For example, the beam faire recovery procedure may include identifying radio link issues ot the physical ayer (eg, Layer 1) and providing aperiodic in- syne and aperiodic outof-syne indications to higher peoto- col layers (e.g, Layer 2, Layer 3). For example, the beam failure recovery procedure may identify issues with an active control beam (eg. physical dowalink control echan- rel (PDCCH) or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH)) based on measurements of one oF more downlink (DL) reference signals (RSs). In an aspect, the active contol ‘beam may be «unicast transmission to the scheduled entity 6600 from the scheduling entity S00, The beam failure recovery procedure may also maintain a set of candidate beams.
