Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A set of uplink control channel resources that are configured for acknowledgment transmissions may be shared among user equipments (UEs) that are enabled to receive multicast communications. Each of the shared set of uplink control channel resources may be associated with set(s) of channel state information. UEs may measure a multicast channel to determine channel state information for the multicast channel. After failing to receive a multicast transmission, UEs may transmit an acknowledgment feedback message over one of the shared uplink control channel resources that is associated with the set of channel state information determined by the UE. A base station that receives the acknowledgment feedback message may transmit a multicast retransmission for the UEs using transmission parameters that are adapted for the set(s) of channel state information associated with the occupied uplink control channel resource.

A wireless communication device and a wireless communication method. The wireless communication device includes one or more processors. The processor is configured to estimate an equivalent channel from a base station to user equipment based on a user equipment specific reference signal from the base station, and generate, according to the estimated equivalent channel, a channel state indication used to be fed back to the base station.

This invention relates to a proposal of an uplink resource assignment format and a downlink resource assignment format. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the new uplink/downlink resource assignments in methods for (de)activation of downlink component carrier(s) configured for a mobile terminal, a base station and a mobile terminal. To enable efficient and robust (de)activation of component carriers, while minimizing the signaling overhead, the invention proposes a new uplink/downlink resource assignment format that allow the activation/deactivation of individual downlink component carriers configured for a mobile. The new uplink or downlink resource assignment comprises an indication of the activation state of the configured downlink component carriers, i.e., indicate which downlink component carrier(s) is/are to be activated or deactivated. This indication is for example implemented by means of a bit-mask that indicates which of the configured uplink component carriers are to be activated respectively deactivated.

Embodiments of the present application provide a channel state information transmission method. The method includes: receiving downlink data; determining an uplink subframe used to send feedback information of the downlink data, where a first downlink subframe set associated with the uplink subframe includes a first subset and a second subset, and the first subset is a proper subset of the second subset; determining a channel resource used to send the feedback information, where the channel resource includes a first uplink channel resource or a second uplink channel resource; and if sending of r pieces of CSI is configured to be sent, a codebook size of the feedback information corresponds to the first subset, and the determined channel is the second uplink channel resource, sending the feedback information and t pieces of CSI of the r pieces of CSI on the second uplink channel resource.

Disclosed are a measuring method, a base station, and a terminal. The method comprises: a base station transmits to a terminal a switching message of a narrow bandwidth receiving mode, thus instructing the terminal to switch to a specified narrow bandwidth to receive information; when channel state information (CSI) of a downlink channel needs to be measured, the base station schedules the terminal to switch sequentially to at least two different measuring narrow bandwidths to measure a downlink reference signal, where the width of the narrow bandwidth and that of the at least two different measuring narrow bandwidths are less than the width of a system bandwidth. The employment of embodiments of the present invention allows the terminal to flexibly switch between the narrow bandwidth and the system bandwidth, reduces power consumption of the terminal, and implements the measurement of the CSI of the downlink channel at the same time.

An example system includes a server communicatively connected to a cellular base transceiver station having an RF coverage area and configured for RF communication with a first entity that is a transceiver device in the RF coverage area, wherein the server comprises a first publish-subscribe broker that is part of a publish-subscribe broker network that comprises one or more publish-subscribe brokers, wherein a second entity connected to any of the one or more publish-subscribe brokers in the publish-subscribe broker network accepts communications from the transceiver device if the second entity subscribes to data packets published by the transceiver device, and wherein the data packets published by the transceiver device are routed through the publish-subscribe broker to which the second entity is connected.

A user equipment (UE) configured for multi-antenna communication estimates at least one of a rank indicator and a channel quality indicator for device to device (D2D) based on communication data associated with a plurality of packets communicated using D2D communication and without using a dedicated reference signal for D2D communication. The UE may be configured as at least one of a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver (Rx) for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication through a sidelink channel.

A wireless device receives a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message triggering a first active bandwidth part (BWP) switching of a first cell. Based on the triggering the first active BWP switching during a second active BWP switching of a second cell, the first active BWP switching is delayed until the second active BWP switching is completed.

The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal, a system and respective methods. The user equipment receives plural PDCCHs from each of plural TRPs within a single TTI, and decodes plural DCIs respectively carried on the received plural PDCCHs from each of the plural TRPs. All of the decoded plural DCIs from each of the plural TRPs are respectively scheduling plural PDSCH receptions or plural PUSCH transmissions on different ones of the plural TRPs. And all of the plural PDSCH receptions or plural PUSCH transmission are scheduled such that one of the decoded plural DCIs from each of the plural TRPs is scheduling a same one PDSCH reception or a same one PUSCH transmission on a same one of the plural TRPs. The user equipment receives or transmits same data in the respectively scheduled plural PDSCH receptions from or PUSCH transmission to each of the plural TRPs.

Embodiments described herein relate to downlink (DL) control channel signaling for an aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) trigger. In one example, a user equipment (UE) communicates with a network to receive first configuration signaling to identify a first downlink control information (DCI) in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The UE also receives, from the network, the first DCI. The first DCI is appended with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits that are scrambled by a common radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) and is to indicate an aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) trigger. Next, the UE receives, from the network, channel state information (CSI) reference signals in one or more occasions that follow an occasion in which the first DCI is received and generates and transmits a CSI report in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) based on the CSI reference signals.
