Aspects are provided which handle dynamic blockage of beams transmitted by a base station to UEs in millimeter wave communication. In one aspect, the base station identifies at least two UEs with which the base station has established a link and which may be potentially blocked from the base station by a dynamic blocker such as a moving vehicle. After the potentially blocked UEs are identified, the base station schedules all identified UEs for joint beam training and receives feedback transmitted by the UEs to determine if a dynamically blocked spatial region exists. If a blockage exists, the base station performs a follow-up procedure to avoid the dynamically blocked spatial region and provide coverage for the UEs, for example, by blanking out or not using blocked beams in subsequent beam training and/or by coordinating with a neighbor cell. The base station may thus proactively improve coverage of dynamically blocked UEs.

A terminal device for use with a wireless telecommunications network includes a transceiver configured to receive information indicative of one or more access classes of terminal devices which are permitted to exchange signals with the wireless telecommunications network, and a controller configured to update the received information to modify the one or more access classes of terminal devices which are permitted to exchange signals with the mobile telecommunications network, the received information being updated by the controller according to a predetermined function of time.

Methods of creating an indoor confidence level comprising: receiving a location and location accuracy value from or for a device, wherein the location accuracy value is equated to a location accuracy circle; comparing the location and location accuracy circle to a map of known buildings and outdoor locations; and defining an indoor confidence level based upon the percent of overlap of the accuracy radius to a building on said map; and methods of defining an optimization priority among a set of collected data points for network connectivity.

In a case of communication adopting a constitution different from existing LTE systems, in order to properly control a CSI measurement resource and/or CSI reporting, a user terminal includes a receiving section that receives a signal in a reference signal resource for measuring channel state information, and a control section that controls, based on indication information received from a radio base station, activation or deactivation of the reference signal resource and/or channel state information reporting, and signaling on receiving of the indication information.

A signal estimator for an OFDM radio receiver is configured to generate a signal power estimate for a reference signal received on a subcarrier from a plurality of OFDM subcarriers. The signal estimator generates a first channel estimate as a first function of a first set of one or more unfiltered reference-signal channel estimates, where the first set includes an unfiltered reference-signal channel estimate. It generates a second channel estimate as a second function of a second set of one or more unfiltered reference-signal channel estimates, where the second set has no unfiltered reference-signal channel estimate in common with the first set. The signal estimator then generates the signal power estimate by multiplying the first channel estimate with the second channel estimate, such that the generated signal power estimate does not increase with the absolute square of any of the unfiltered reference-signal channel estimates in the first and second sets.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a method of operating a scheduled entity for wireless communication. In some aspects, the scheduled entity detects a fluctuation in a beam strength of at least one transmit beam from a scheduling entity. The scheduled entity transmits a first message to the scheduling entity, the first message indicating at least the fluctuation in the beam strength of the at least one transmit beam from the scheduling entity.
