     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     This disclosure relates generally to a wireless communication system in general, and to a fifth generation (5G) wireless communication systems. More specifically, facilitating scheduling of uplink data using demodulation reference signal and scheduled resources in 5G wireless communication system. 
     BACKGROUND 
     5th generation (5G) wireless systems represent a next major phase of mobile telecommunications standards, also called new radio (NR) access, beyond the current telecommunications standards of 4 th  generation (4G). In addition to faster peak Internet connection speeds, 5G planning aims at higher capacity than current 4G, allowing a higher number of mobile broadband users per area unit, and allowing consumption of higher or unlimited data quantities. This would enable a large portion of the population to stream high-definition media many hours per day with their mobile devices, when out of reach of wireless fidelity hotspots. 5G research and development also aims at improved support of machine-to-machine communication, also known as the Internet of things, aiming at lower cost, lower battery consumption, and lower latency than 4G equipment.

In some embodiments the non-limiting term user equipment (UE) is used. It can refer to any type of wireless device that communicates with a radio network node in a cellular or mobile communication system. Examples of UE are target device, device to device (D2D) UE, machine type UE or UE capable of machine to machine (M2M) communication, PDA, Tablet, mobile terminals, smart phone, laptop embedded equipped (LEE), laptop mounted equipment (LME), USB dongles, etc. Note that the terms element, elements and antenna ports can be interchangeably used but carry the same meaning in this disclosure. The embodiments are applicable to single carrier as well as to multicarrier (MC) or carrier aggregation (CA) operation of the UE.

       FIG.  1    illustrates a non-limiting example of a wireless communication system  100  in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the subject disclosure. In one or more embodiments, system  100  can comprise one or more user equipment UEs  102 . The non-limiting term user equipment can refer to any type of device that can communicate with a network node in a cellular or mobile communication system. A UE can have one or more antenna panels having vertical and horizontal elements. Examples of a UE comprise a target device, device to device (D2D) UE, machine type UE or UE capable of machine to machine (M2M) communications, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet, mobile terminals, smart phone, laptop mounted equipment (LME), universal serial bus (USB) dongles enabled for mobile communications, a computer having mobile capabilities, a mobile device such as cellular phone, a laptop having laptop embedded equipment (LEE, such as a mobile broadband adapter), a tablet computer having a mobile broadband adapter, a wearable device, a virtual reality (VR) device, a heads-up display (HUD) device, a smart car, a machine-type communication (MTC) device, and the like. User equipment UE  102  can also comprise IOT devices that communicate wirelessly. 
     In various embodiments, system  100  is or comprises a wireless communication network serviced by one or more wireless communication network providers. In example embodiments, a UE  102  can be communicatively coupled to the wireless communication network via a network node  104 . The network node (e.g., network node device) can communicate with user equipment (UE), thus providing connectivity between the UE and the wider cellular network. The UE  102  can send transmission type recommendation data to the network node  104 . The transmission type recommendation data can comprise a recommendation to transmit data via a closed loop MIMO mode and/or a rank-1 precoder mode. 
     A network node can have a cabinet and other protected enclosures, an antenna mast, and multiple antennas for performing various transmission operations (e.g., MIMO operations). Network nodes can serve several cells, also called sectors, depending on the configuration and type of antenna. In example embodiments, the UE  102  can send and/or receive communication data via a wireless link to the network node  104 . The dashed arrow lines from the network node  104  to the UE  102  represent downlink (DL) communications and the solid arrow lines from the UE  102  to the network nodes  104  represents an uplink (UL) communication. 
     System  100  can further include one or more communication service provider networks  106  that facilitate providing wireless communication services to various UEs, including UE  102 , via the network node  104  and/or various additional network devices (not shown) included in the one or more communication service provider networks  106 . The one or more communication service provider networks  106  can include various types of disparate networks, including but not limited to: cellular networks, femto networks, picocell networks, microcell networks, internet protocol (IP) networks Wi-Fi service networks, broadband service network, enterprise networks, cloud based networks, millimeter wave networks and the like. For example, in at least one implementation, system  100  can be or include a large scale wireless communication network that spans various geographic areas. According to this implementation, the one or more communication service provider networks  106  can be or include the wireless communication network and/or various additional devices and components of the wireless communication network (e.g., additional network devices and cell, additional UEs, network server devices, etc.). The network node  104  can be connected to the one or more communication service provider networks  106  via one or more backhaul links  108 . For example, the one or more backhaul links  108  can comprise wired link components, such as a T1/E1 phone line, a digital subscriber line (DSL) (e.g., either synchronous or asynchronous), an asymmetric DSL (ADSL), an optical fiber backbone, a coaxial cable, and the like. The one or more backhaul links  108  can also include wireless link components, such as but not limited to, line-of-sight (LOS) or non-LOS links which can include terrestrial air-interfaces or deep space links (e.g., satellite communication links for navigation). 
     Wireless communication system  100  can employ various cellular systems, technologies, and modulation modes to facilitate wireless radio communications between devices (e.g., the UE  102  and the network node  104 ). While example embodiments might be described for 5G new radio (NR) systems, the embodiments can be applicable to any radio access technology (RAT) or multi-RAT system where the UE operates using multiple carriers e.g. LTE FDD/TDD, GSM/GERAN, CDMA2000 etc. 
     For example, system  100  can operate in accordance with global system for mobile communications (GSM), universal mobile telecommunications service (UMTS), long term evolution (LTE), LTE frequency division duplexing (LTE FDD, LTE time division duplexing (TDD), high speed packet access (HSPA), code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband CDMA (WCMDA), CDMA2000, time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA), single-carrier code division multiple access (SC-CDMA), single-carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-spread OFDM) single carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA), Filter bank based multi-carrier (FBMC), zero tail DFT-spread-OFDM (ZT DFT-s-OFDM), generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM), fixed mobile convergence (FMC), universal fixed mobile convergence (UFMC), unique word OFDM (UW-OFDM), unique word DFT-spread OFDM (UW DFT-Spread-OFDM), cyclic prefix OFDM CP-OFDM, resource-block-filtered OFDM, Wi Fi, WLAN, WiMax, and the like. However, various features and functionalities of system  100  are particularly described wherein the devices (e.g., the UEs  102  and the network device  104 ) of system  100  are configured to communicate wireless signals using one or more multi carrier modulation schemes, wherein data symbols can be transmitted simultaneously over multiple frequency subcarriers (e.g., OFDM, CP-OFDM, DFT-spread OFMD, UFMC, FMBC, etc.). The embodiments are applicable to single carrier as well as to multicarrier (MC) or carrier aggregation (CA) operation of the UE. The term carrier aggregation (CA) is also called (e.g. interchangeably called) “multi-carrier system”, “multi-cell operation”, “multi-carrier operation”, “multi-carrier” transmission and/or reception. Note that some embodiments are also applicable for Multi RAB (radio bearers) on some carriers (that is data plus speech is simultaneously scheduled). 
     In various embodiments, system  100  can be configured to provide and employ 5G wireless networking features and functionalities. 5G wireless communication networks are expected to fulfill the demand of exponentially increasing data traffic and to allow people and machines to enjoy gigabit data rates with virtually zero latency. Compared to 4G, 5G supports more diverse traffic scenarios. For example, in addition to the various types of data communication between conventional UEs (e.g., phones, smartphones, tablets, PCs, televisions, Internet enabled televisions, etc.) supported by 4G networks, 5G networks can be employed to support data communication between smart cars in association with driverless car environments, as well as machine type communications (MTCs). Considering the drastic different communication needs of these different traffic scenarios, the ability to dynamically configure waveform parameters based on traffic scenarios while retaining the benefits of multi carrier modulation schemes (e.g., OFDM and related schemes) can provide a significant contribution to the high speed/capacity and low latency demands of 5G networks. With waveforms that split the bandwidth into several sub-bands, different types of services can be accommodated in different sub-bands with the most suitable waveform and numerology, leading to an improved spectrum utilization for 5G networks. 
     To meet the demand for data centric applications, features of proposed 5G networks may comprise: increased peak bit rate (e.g., 20 Gbps), larger data volume per unit area (e.g., high system spectral efficiency—for example about 3.5 times that of spectral efficiency of long term evolution (LTE) systems), high capacity that allows more device connectivity both concurrently and instantaneously, lower battery/power consumption (which reduces energy and consumption costs), better connectivity regardless of the geographic region in which a user is located, a larger numbers of devices, lower infrastructural development costs, and higher reliability of the communications. Thus, 5G networks may allow for: data rates of several tens of megabits per second should be supported for tens of thousands of users, 1 gigabit per second to be offered simultaneously to tens of workers on the same office floor, for example; several hundreds of thousands of simultaneous connections to be supported for massive sensor deployments; improved coverage, enhanced signaling efficiency; reduced latency compared to LTE. 
     The upcoming 5G access network may utilize higher frequencies (e.g., &gt;6 GHz) to aid in increasing capacity. Currently, much of the millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum, the band of spectrum between 30 GHz and 300 GHz is underutilized. The millimeter waves have shorter wavelengths that range from 10 millimeters to 1 millimeter, and these mmWave signals experience severe path loss, penetration loss, and fading. However, the shorter wavelength at mmWave frequencies also allows more antennas to be packed in the same physical dimension, which allows for large-scale spatial multiplexing and highly directional beamforming. 
     Performance can be improved if both the transmitter and the receiver are equipped with multiple antennas. Multi-antenna techniques can significantly increase the data rates and reliability of a wireless communication system. The use of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques, which was introduced in the third-generation partnership project (3GPP) and has been in use (including with LTE), is a multi-antenna technique that can improve the spectral efficiency of transmissions, thereby significantly boosting the overall data carrying capacity of wireless systems. The use of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques can improve mmWave communications and has been widely recognized a potentially important component for access networks operating in higher frequencies. MIMO can be used for achieving diversity gain, spatial multiplexing gain and beamforming gain. For these reasons, MIMO systems are an important part of the 3rd and 4th generation wireless systems and are planned for use in 5G systems. 
     To meet the huge demand for data centric applications, currently 3GPP is discussing to extend the current 4G standards to 5G also called as new radio (NR) access. The following are some of the requirements for 5G networks: Data rates of several tens of megabits per second should be supported for tens of thousands of users; 1 gigabit per second to be offered simultaneously to tens of workers on the same office floor; Several hundreds of thousands of simultaneous connections to be supported for massive sensor deployments; Coverage should be improved; Signaling efficiency should be enhanced; and Latency should be reduced significantly compared to LTE. 
     The multiple input multiple output (MIMO), is an advanced antenna technique to improve the spectral efficiency and thereby boosting the overall system capacity. The MIMO technique uses a commonly known notation (M×N) to represent MIMO configuration in terms number of transmit (M) and receive antennas (N) on one end of the transmission system. The common MIMO configurations used for various technologies are: (2×1), (1×2), (2×2), (4×2), (8×2) and (2×4), (4×4), (8×4). The configurations represented by (2×1) and (1×2) are special cases of MIMO known as transmit and receive diversity. 
     MIMO systems can significantly increase the data carrying capacity of wireless systems. MIMO can be used for achieving diversity gain, spatial multiplexing gain and beamforming gain. For these reasons, MIMO is an integral part of the 3rd and 4th generation wireless systems. In addition, massive MIMO systems are currently under investigation for 5G systems. 
       FIG.  2   , illustrates a block diagram of uplink MIMO transmitter in accordance with various aspects and embodiments described herein. Repetitive description of like elements employed in other embodiments described herein is omitted for sake of brevity. MIMO transmitter comprises a transport block  204 , encoder  206 , an interleaver/modulator  208 , layer mapper  210 , pre-coder  212 , a group of inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) processor coupled to group of antennas  216   a - t . As illustrated the uplink multi-antenna transmission in 5G systems up to 4 antenna ports ( 230   a - t ). Antennas  216   a - t  or the layer mapping in general, be described as a mapping from the output of the data modulation (e.g., by modulator  208 ) to the different antenna ports  230   a - t . The input to the antenna mapping thus consists of the modulation symbols (QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM) determined by interleaver and modulator  208  corresponding to the transport block  204 . The output of the antenna mapping (e.g., by layer mapper  210 ) is a set of symbols for each antenna port  230   a - t . The symbols of each antenna port are subsequently applied to the OFDM modulator—that is, mapped to the basic OFDM time-frequency grid corresponding to that antenna port. 
     Referring now to  FIG.  3   , illustrated is a message sequence chart for uplink data transfer in 5G systems  300  in accordance with various aspects and embodiments described herein. Repetitive description of like elements employed in other embodiments described herein is omitted for sake of brevity. In some embodiments, illustrated herein a message sequence chart of an uplink transmission for closed loop MIMO. The UE  304  transmits a message  308  to gNB  306 , wherein the message  308  contains a UE specific sounding reference. From the UE specific sounding reference signals, at block  310  the gNB  306  computes/determines the channel estimates then computes the parameters needed for channel-state information (CSI) determination. The determination step consists for example, but not limited to, computing the channel quality indicator (CQI) and/or modulation and coding scheme (MCS), transmit precoding matrix index (TPMI), transmit rank information (TRI), physical resource block (PRB), etc. Once the gNB  306  determines the parameters needed for scheduling uplink data, it will inform these parameters through a grant channel  312  also called downlink control channel information (PDCCH). Once the UE receives this grant information, the UE transmit the uplink data using PUSCH  314 . 
     In some embodiments, the uplink reference signals are predefined signals occupying specific resource elements within the uplink time-frequency grid. There are two types of uplink reference signals that are transmitted in different ways and used for different purposes by the gNB. In some embodiments, the sounding reference signals (SRS) that can be reference signals are specifically intended to be used by gNB to acquire CSI and beam specific information. In 5G systems, the SRS is UE specific, so it can have a significantly lower time/frequency density. The demodulation reference signals (DM-RS or DMRS), can be reference signals are specifically intended to be used by the gNB for channel estimation for data channel between the gNB and the UE. The label “UE-specific” relates to the fact that each demodulation reference signal is intended for channel estimation by the gNB from a specific UE. That specific reference signal is then only transmitted within the resource blocks assigned for data traffic channel transmission to that UE. Since in general the data is pre-coded, the DM-RS is also pre-coded with the same precoding as that of data. 
     In some embodiments, the downlink control channel (PDCCH) carries information about the scheduling grants. Typically, this consist of number of MIMO layers scheduled, transport block sizes, modulation for each codeword, parameters related to HARQ, sub band locations etc. Note that, all DCI formats may not transmit all the information as shown above. In general, the contents of PDCCH depends on transmission mode and DCI format. In some embodiments, the following information is transmitted by means of the downlink control information (DCI) format: 
     Carrier indicator 
     Identifier for DCI formats 
     UL/SUL indicator 
     Bandwidth part indicator 
     Frequency domain resource assignment 
     Time domain resource assignment 
     Frequency hopping flag 
     Modulation and coding scheme 
     New data indicator 
     Redundancy version 
     HARQ process number 
     Downlink Assignment Index 
     TPC command for uplink shared channel 
     SRS resource indicator 
     TPMI and number of layers 
     SRS Request 
     CSI Request 
     Antenna port(s) 
     CBG transmission information 
     PTRS-DMRS association 
     DMRS sequence initialization 
     UL-SCH Indicator 
     As mentioned above the network node needs to compute the channel quality and decide about the scheduling parameters for the UE. The network node uses uplink sounding reference signal for computing the channel between the UE and the network. The SRS resource consists of either 1, 2 or 4 consecutive OFDM symbols as configured by the network. The problems are that the SRS needs to be transmitted periodically. This involves lot of overhead and wastage of resources, this in turn reduces the resources allocated for data traffic channel and the current solution is not attractive for eMBB data applications. In addition, with the existing framework for MCS computation involves latency as the UE needs to check the SRS (which can be periodic say every 4/8/10 millisecond (msec)) and compute the channel between the network and the UE and indicate the MCS via scheduling grant. Hence huge delay is involved in indicating the MCS. This huge delay impacts the delay sensitive applications such as ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). Since URLLC requires low latency, waiting for next SRS would not be feasible. 
     In some embodiments, a system and a method that facilitates computing/determining the scheduling parameters using the scheduled PUSCH and DMRS is utilized, thereby reducing the overhead for transmitting sounding reference signal that is required for estimating the channel state information. In some embodiments, the network node can configure the UE for transmitting sounding reference signal. In some embodiments, since the UE may be transmitting on PUSCH, the network node can further estimate the channel state information based on the scheduled PUSCH (e.g., information captured during decoding of PUSCH, such as DMRS and signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR)). In some embodiments, the network node can further estimate the channel state information based on the DMRS. In some embodiments, the network node can further estimate the channel state information based on SINR extracted from PUSCH during the decoding of the PUSCH. In some embodiments, the network node can indicate to the UE the scheduling parameters. The advantage of the method is that significant gains in the sector throughput and cell edge user throughput can be realized as the network obtains the information about the MCS efficiently. Another advantage is that reduction in the signaling overhead for the SRS transmission can be realized. Thus, utilizing these resources for data or control channel transmission improves system capacity significantly. 
     According an embodiment, a system can comprise a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising configuring a device with a periodic rate of specified sounding reference signals with a periodicity using radio resource control signaling. The system can further facilitate estimating channel state information associated with a channel via which the network device communicates. The system can further facilitate transmitting an uplink grant with uplink transmission parameters to set up a physical uplink shared channel, wherein the uplink transmission parameters are determined based on the channel state information. The system can further facilitate estimating scheduling parameters based on a first estimation information associated with the physical uplink shared channel. 
     According to another embodiment, described herein is a method that can comprise configuring, by a device comprising a processor, a device with a periodic rate of specified sounding reference signals with a periodicity using radio resource control signaling. The method can further comprise estimating, by the device, channel state information. The method can further comprise transmitting, by the device, an uplink grant with uplink transmission parameters to set up an uplink transmission resource, wherein the uplink transmission parameters are determined based on the channel state information. The method can further comprise estimating, by the device, scheduling parameters based on estimation parameters associated with the uplink transmission resource. 
     According to yet another embodiment, machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, configuring a device with a periodic rate of specified sounding reference signals with a periodicity using radio resource control signaling. The machine-readable storage medium can further comprise estimating channel state information associated with a channel via which the network device communicates. The machine-readable storage medium can further comprise transmitting an uplink grant with uplink transmission parameters to set up a physical uplink shared channel, wherein the uplink transmission parameters are determined based on the channel state information. The machine-readable storage medium can further comprise estimating parameters based on a first estimation parameter associated with the physical uplink shared channel. 
     These and other embodiments or implementations are described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. 
     Referring now to  FIG.  4   , illustrated is an example of a messaging sequence  400  between UE and gNB in accordance with various aspects and embodiments described herein. Repetitive description of like elements employed in other embodiments described herein is omitted for sake of brevity. In some embodiments, the UE  404  determines the SRS and transmit the signals  408  to gNB  406 . At  410 , the gNB uses the SRS to compute/determine channel state information to determine parameters (e.g., MCS, TPMI, TRI, Power, PRB, etc.) for UL transmission. The UE is provided these parameters thorough a downlink control channel (e.g., grant channel) at  412 . The UE can use the parameters to establish and began using the PUSCH to transmit data. At  414 , once the PUSCH is established, the UE can begin transmit data on the PUSCH. In some embodiments, at  416 , the gNB can computer/determine channel information and determine UL parameters by utilizing information available or generated during decoding of PUSCH. For example, DMRS is provided on the scheduled PUSCH. In some embodiments, the gNB can utilize the DMRS to computer UL parameters for UE to use to set up PUSCH without waiting for SRS. In some embodiments, the gNB can capture information determined during decoding of PUSCH, such as, but not limited to, SINR. In some embodiments, the gNB can utilize the SINR to computer UL parameters for UE to use to set up PUSCH without waiting for SRS. Since, the PUSCH is established and information from the PUSCH can be used to establish PUSCH without requiring SRS, the periodicity of determining and transmitting of SRS can be extended without impacting latency. 
     In some embodiments, the network estimates the MCS using DMRS (e.g., DMRS based estimation) once it estimates the number of layers and TPMI using SRS. In some embodiments, the network estimates the channel using DMRS for both PUSCH demodulation as well for MCS computation for the scheduled number of layers and the precoding. Once it estimates the channel, it computes the SINR using the following expression (for minimum mean square error (MMSE) based detector) and computes the MCS:
 
SINR i   =H   i   S   −1   H   i ,
 
 S=N   0   R   N   +HH   H   −H   i   *H   i   H  
 
     In the above expression, for each layer SNR is based on rank, wherein “i” is depended on rank, wherein if rank is equal to 1, then “i” is equal to 1. Once the SNR is computed using the above expression, the system can determine MCS. In some embodiments, the MCS is determined by for example, but not limited to, utilizing a lookup table that uses SNR to identify associated MCS. In some embodiments, the network can continuously refresh using the scheduled PUSCH or every time a new PUSCH scheduled for a UE. Thus, UE delay executing SRS producer. 
     In some embodiments, the network can estimate MCS using PUSCH by evaluating output of MMSE detector. Using the output, SNR can be determined. Once the SNR is determined, the MCS table can be utilized to estimate MCS. 
     In some embodiment, if a failure is detected on any packets, the gNB can use previous information based on SNR and estimate MCS. In some embodiments, when a packet failure occurs, the network utilizes the DMRS based estimation to estimate MCS. In some embodiments, when a packet failure occurs, the network utilizes the PUSCH based method to estimate MCS. 
     Referring now to  FIG.  5 A , illustrated is an example of rank information (RI) distribution  500  in accordance with various aspects and embodiments described herein. Repetitive description of like elements employed in other embodiments described herein is omitted for sake of brevity. As illustrated by  502 , the RI does not change over majority of the bandwidth. This will allow gNB to use information from PUSCH to estimate scheduling parameters. 
     Referring now to  FIG.  5 B , illustrated is an example of pre-coding matrix index (PMI) distribution  550  in accordance with various aspects and embodiments described herein. Repetitive description of like elements employed in other embodiments described herein is omitted for sake of brevity. As illustrated by  502 , the PMI does not change over majority of the bandwidth. This will allow gNB to use information from PUSCH to estimate scheduling parameters. 
     In some embodiments, the network can increase the periodicity (UE providing SRS) from, for example from 4/8/10 msec period to 100+ msec period, and use PUSCH to estimate scheduling parameters (e.g., MCS) using DMRS or PUSCH based channel estimation or SINR. The advantage is that the network can save significant resources by not having to generate SRS frequently. The saved resources can be used for other physical channels or signaling.

In some embodiments, processor  706  can comprise one or more central processing unit, multi-core processor, microprocessor, dual microprocessors, microcontroller, System on a Chip (SOC), array processor, vector processor, and/or another type of processor. 
     In some embodiments, the processor  706 , the memory  704 , the configuring component  710 , the channel estimating component  712 , the transmitting component  714 , the parameter estimating component  716 , the channel decoding component  718  and the storing component  720  can be communicatively, electrically, and/or operatively coupled to one another via the system bus  708  to perform functions of the network node device  702 , and/or any components coupled therewith.

Further, in numerous embodiments, any component associated with the network node device  702 , as described herein with or without reference to the various figures of the subject disclosure, can comprise one or more computer and/or machine readable, writable, and/or executable components and/or instructions that, when executed by the processor  706 , can facilitate performance of operations defined by such component(s) and/or instruction(s). For example, the configuring component  710 , and/or any other components associated with the network node device  702  (e.g., communicatively, electronically, and/or operatively coupled with and/or employed by network node device  702 ), can comprise such computer and/or machine readable, writable, and/or executable component(s) and/or instruction(s). Consequently, according to numerous embodiments, the network node device  702  and/or any components associated therewith, can employ the processor  706  to execute such computer and/or machine readable, writable, and/or executable component(s) and/or instruction(s) to facilitate performance of one or more operations described herein with reference to the network node device  702  and/or any such components associated therewith. 
     In some embodiments, the network node device  702  can facilitate performance of operations related to and/or executed by the components of network node device  702 , for example, the processor  706 , the memory  704 , the configuring component  710 , the channel estimating component  712 , the transmitting component  714 , the parameter estimating component  716 , the channel decoding component  718  and the storing component  720 . For example, as described in detail below, the network node device  702  can facilitate: configuring (e.g., by the configuring component  710 ) a network device with a periodic rate of specified sounding reference signals with a periodicity using radio resource control signaling; estimating (e.g., by the channel estimating component  712 ) channel state information associated with a channel via which the network device communicates; transmitting (e.g., by the transmitting component  714 ) an uplink grant with uplink transmission parameters to set up a physical uplink shared channel, wherein the uplink transmission parameters are determined based on the channel state information; and estimating (e.g., by the parameter estimating component  716 ) scheduling parameters based on a first estimation information associated with the physical uplink shared channel. The network node device  702  can further facilitate decoding (e.g., by the channel decoding component  718 ) data received on the physical uplink shared channel to determine the first estimation information and to estimate a modulation and coding scheme; and storing (e.g., by the storing component  720 ) a second estimation information received on the physical uplink shared channel, wherein the second estimation information comprises demodulation reference signals. 
     In some embodiments, the device and the configuring component  710  can comprise one or more processors, memory, and electrical circuitry. In some embodiments, the configuring component  710  can comprise configuring a network device with a periodic rate of specified sounding reference (SRS) signals with a periodicity using radio resource control signaling. In some embodiments, the network node  702  configures the network device (e.g., the UE) to periodically transmit the SRS. The network node  702  uses the SRS to compute the channel quality and decide about the scheduling parameters for the UE and uses uplink SRS for computing the channel between the UE and the network. 
     In some embodiments, the channel estimating component  712 , can comprise one or more processors, memory, and electrical circuitry. In some embodiments, the channel estimating component  712  can comprise estimating channel state information associated with a channel via which the network device communicates. In some embodiments, since the UE can transmit on PUSCH, the network node can further estimate the channel state information based on the scheduled PUSCH (e.g., information captured during decoding of PUSCH, such as DMRS and signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR or SNR)). The advantage of using the PUSCH to estimate channel state information versus using the SINR data is that the network node can increase the number of times the channel state information is estimated, because the PUSCH is transmitted more frequently than the SINR. 
     In some embodiments, the transmitting component  714  can comprise one or more processors, memory, and electrical circuitry. In some embodiments, the transmitting component  714  can comprise transmitting an uplink grant with uplink transmission parameters to set up a physical uplink shared channel, wherein the uplink transmission parameters are determined based on the channel state information. In some embodiments, upon determining the uplink transmission parameters, the network node  702  employing a physical downlink control channel transmits the uplink transmission parameter to the specific UE. The uplink parameters are based on the estimated channel state information. For example, the channel state information comprise, but not limited to, computing the channel quality indicator (CQI) and/or modulation and coding scheme (MCS), transmit precoding matrix index (TPMI), transmit rank information (TRI), physical resource block (PRB), etc. Once the network node  702  determines the parameters needed for scheduling uplink resources for a specific network device, the network node  702  will inform these parameters through a grant channel  712  (e.g., downlink control channel information or PDCCH). Once the UE receives this grant information, the network device transmits the uplink data using PUSCH. 
     In some embodiments, the parameter estimating component  716  can comprise one or more processors, memory, and electrical circuitry. In some embodiments, the parameter estimating component  716  can comprise estimating scheduling parameters based on a first estimation information associated with the physical uplink shared channel. In some embodiments, the network node  702  can further estimate the channel state information based on the scheduled PUSCH (e.g., information captured during decoding of PUSCH, such as DMRS and signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR)). In some embodiments, the network node can further estimate the channel state information based on the DMRS. In some embodiments, the network node can further estimate the channel state information based on SINR extracted from PUSCH during the decoding of the PUSCH. 
     In some embodiments, the channel decoding component  718  can comprise one or more processors, memory, and electrical circuitry. In some embodiments, the channel decoding component  718  can comprise decoding data received on the physical uplink shared channel to determine the first estimation information and to estimate a modulation and coding scheme. In some embodiments, the PUSCH is decoded to extract information transmitted by the UE. In some embodiments, the DMRS (e.g. the first estimation information) is included in the PUSCH that can be used for estimating scheduled parameters. In some embodiments, the SNIR information (e.g., the first information) is extracted upon decoding the PUSCH and used for estimated scheduled parameters. 
     In some embodiments, the storing component  720  can comprise one or more processors, memory, and electrical circuitry. In some embodiments, the storing component  720  can comprise storing a second estimation information received on the physical uplink shared channel, wherein the second estimation information comprises demodulation reference signals. In some embodiments, the DMRS information and/or the SINR information (e.g., either may be the second estimation information depending the information used for estimating scheduling parameters) is stored in memory  704  the event of an uplink failure. In some embodiments, if network node  702  is not able to decode the current PUSCH (e.g., failure), the network node  702  can employ the stored information to estimate scheduling parameters without waiting for SRS data (e.g., the data that is transmitted periodically). The advantage of storing information is that during failures, the system can utilize older, but not outdated, data to estimate scheduling parameters. In some embodiments, the network node may transmit an indication to the network device to request uplink recourse using the stored information (e.g., either DMRS information and/or the SINR information) or may provide new DMRS information and/or the SINR information.

     A computing device can typically include a variety of machine-readable media. Machine-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by the computer and includes both volatile and non-volatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example and not limitation, computer-readable media can comprise computer storage media and communication media.

     Communication media typically embodies computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism, and includes any information delivery media. The term “modulated data signal” means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media.

Computer-readable storage media can be accessed by one or more local or remote computing devices, e.g., via access requests, queries or other data retrieval protocols, for a variety of operations with respect to the information stored by the medium. 
     Communications media can embody computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other structured or unstructured data in a data signal such as a modulated data signal, e.g., a carrier wave or other transport mechanism, and includes any information delivery or transport media. The term “modulated data signal” or signals refers to a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in one or more signals. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media include wired media, such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. 
     The techniques described herein can be applied to any device or set of devices (machines) capable of running programs and processes.

Accordingly, the general-purpose computing mechanism described below with reference to  FIG.  11    is but one example of a computing device. 
     In order to provide a context for the various aspects of the disclosed subject matter,  FIG.  11    and the following discussion, are intended to provide a brief, general description of a suitable environment in which the various aspects of the disclosed subject matter can be implemented. While the subject matter has been described above in the general context of computer-executable instructions of a computer program that runs on a computer and/or computer, those skilled in the art will recognize that the disclosed subject matter also can be implemented in combination with other program modules. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks and/or implement particular abstract data types. 
     In the subject specification, terms such as “store,” “storage,” “data store,” data storage,” “database,” and substantially any other information storage component relevant to operation and functionality of a component, refer to “memory components,” or entities embodied in a “memory” or components comprising the memory.

The illustrated aspects can also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network; however, some if not all aspects of the subject disclosure can be practiced on stand-alone computers. In a distributed computing environment, program modules can be located in both local and remote memory storage devices. 
       FIG.  11    illustrates a block diagram of a computing system  1100  operable to execute the disclosed systems and methods in accordance with an embodiment.

To facilitate connection of the disk storage devices  1124  to system bus  1118 , a removable or non-removable interface is typically used, such as interface  1126 . 
     Computing devices typically include a variety of media, which can include computer-readable storage media or communications media, which two terms are used herein differently from one another as follows. 
     Computer-readable storage media can be any available storage media that can be accessed by the computer and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer-readable storage media can be implemented in connection with any method or technology for storage of information such as computer-readable instructions, program modules, structured data, or unstructured data. Computer-readable storage media can include, but are not limited to, random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), flash memory or other memory technology, solid state drive (SSD) or other solid-state storage technology, compact disk read only memory (CD ROM), digital versatile disk (DVD), Blu-ray disc or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices or other tangible and/or non-transitory media which can be used to store desired information. In this regard, the terms “tangible” or “non-transitory” herein as applied to storage, memory or computer-readable media, are to be understood to exclude only propagating transitory signals per se as modifiers and do not relinquish rights to all standard storage, memory or computer-readable media that are not only propagating transitory signals per se. In an aspect, tangible media can include non-transitory media wherein the term “non-transitory” herein as may be applied to storage, memory or computer-readable media, is to be understood to exclude only propagating transitory signals per se as a modifier and does not relinquish coverage of all standard storage, memory or computer-readable media that are not only propagating transitory signals per se. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “computer-readable storage device” is used and defined herein to exclude transitory media. Computer-readable storage media can be accessed by one or more local or remote computing devices, e.g., via access requests, queries or other data retrieval protocols, for a variety of operations with respect to the information stored by the medium. 
     Communications media typically embody computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other structured or unstructured data in a data signal such as a modulated data signal, e.g., a carrier wave or other transport mechanism, and includes any information delivery or transport media. The term “modulated data signal” or signals refers to a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in one or more signals. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media include wired media, such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. 
     It can be noted that  FIG.  11    describes software that acts as an intermediary between users and computer resources described in suitable operating environment  1100 . Such software includes an operating system  1128 . Operating system  1128 , which can be stored on disk storage  1124 , acts to control and allocate resources of computer  1100 . System applications  1130  take advantage of the management of resources by operating system  1128  through program modules  1132  and program data  1134  stored either in system memory  1106  or on disk storage  1124 . It is to be noted that the disclosed subject matter can be implemented with various operating systems or combinations of operating systems. 
     A user can enter commands or information into computer  1100  through input device(s)  1136 . As an example, a mobile device and/or portable device can include a user interface embodied in a touch sensitive display panel allowing a user to interact with computer  1100 . Input devices  1136  include, but are not limited to, a pointing device such as a mouse, trackball, stylus, touch pad, keyboard, microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, TV tuner card, digital camera, digital video camera, web camera, cell phone, smartphone, tablet computer, etc. These and other input devices connect to processing unit  1114  through system bus  1118  by way of interface port(s)  1138 . Interface port(s)  1138  include, for example, a serial port, a parallel port, a game port, a universal serial bus (USB), an infrared port, a Bluetooth port, an IP port, or a logical port associated with a wireless service, etc. Output device(s)  1140  and a move use some of the same type of ports as input device(s)  1136 . 
     Thus, for example, a USB port can be used to provide input to computer  1100  and to output information from computer  1100  to an output device  1140 . Output adapter  1142  is provided to illustrate that there are some output devices  1140  like monitors, speakers, and printers, among other output devices  1140 , which use special adapters. Output adapters  1142  include, by way of illustration and not limitation, video and sound cards that provide means of connection between output device  1140  and system bus  1118 . It should be noted that other devices and/or systems of devices provide both input and output capabilities such as remote computer(s)  1144 . 
     Computer  1100  can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as remote computer(s)  1144 . Remote computer(s)  1144  can be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, cloud storage, cloud service, a workstation, a microprocessor based appliance, a peer device, or other common network node and the like, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to computer  1100 . 
     For purposes of brevity, only a memory storage device  1146  is illustrated with remote computer(s)  1144 . Remote computer(s)  1144  is logically connected to computer  1100  through a network interface  1148  and then physically connected by way of communication connection  1150 .

While communication connection  1150  is shown for illustrative clarity inside computer  1100 , it can also be external to computer  1100 . The hardware/software for connection to network interface  1148  can include, for example, internal and external technologies such as modems, including regular telephone grade modems, cable modems and DSL modems, ISDN adapters, and Ethernet cards. 
     The above description of illustrated embodiments of the subject disclosure, including what is described in the Abstract, is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosed embodiments to the precise forms disclosed. While specific embodiments and examples are described herein for illustrative purposes, various modifications are possible that are considered within the scope of such embodiments and examples, as those skilled in the relevant art can recognize. 
     In this regard, while the disclosed subject matter has been described in connection with various embodiments and corresponding Figures, where applicable, it is to be understood that other similar embodiments can be used or modifications and additions can be made to the described embodiments for performing the same, similar, alternative, or substitute function of the disclosed subject matter without deviating therefrom. Therefore, the disclosed subject matter should not be limited to any single embodiment described herein, but rather should be construed in breadth and scope in accordance with the appended claims below. 
     As it employed in the subject specification, the term “processor” can refer to substantially any computing processing unit or device comprising, but not limited to comprising, single-core processors; single-processors with software multithread execution capability; multi-core processors; multi-core processors with software multithread execution capability; multi-core processors with hardware multithread technology; parallel platforms; and parallel platforms with distributed shared memory. Additionally, a processor can refer to an integrated circuit, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a digital signal processor (DSP), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic controller (PLC), a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), a discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof designed to perform the functions described herein. Processors can exploit nano-scale architectures such as, but not limited to, molecular and quantum-dot based transistors, switches and gates, in order to optimize space usage or enhance performance of user equipment. A processor may also be implemented as a combination of computing processing units. 
     In the subject specification, terms such as “store,” “storage,” “data store,” data storage,” “database,” and substantially any other information storage component relevant to operation and functionality of a component, refer to “memory components,” or entities embodied in a “memory” or components comprising the memory. It will be appreciated that the memory components described herein can be either volatile memory or nonvolatile memory, or can include both volatile and nonvolatile memory. 
     As used in this application, the terms “component,” “system,” “platform,” “layer,” “selector,” “interface,” and the like are intended to refer to a computer-related entity or an entity related to an operational apparatus with one or more specific functionalities, wherein the entity can be either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. As an example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration and not limitation, both an application running on a server and the server can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers. In addition, these components can execute from various computer readable media, device readable storage devices, or machine readable media having various data structures stored thereon. The components may communicate via local and/or remote processes such as in accordance with a signal having one or more data packets (e.g., data from one component interacting with another component in a local system, distributed system, and/or across a network such as the Internet with other systems via the signal). As another example, a component can be an apparatus with specific functionality provided by mechanical parts operated by electric or electronic circuitry, which is operated by a software or firmware application executed by a processor, wherein the processor can be internal or external to the apparatus and executes at least a part of the software or firmware application. As yet another example, a component can be an apparatus that provides specific functionality through electronic components without mechanical parts, the electronic components can include a processor therein to execute software or firmware that confers at least in part the functionality of the electronic components. 
     In addition, the term “or” is intended to mean an inclusive “or” rather than an exclusive “or.” That is, unless specified otherwise, or clear from context, “X employs A or B” is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X employs A; X employs B; or X employs both A and B, then “X employs A or B” is satisfied under any of the foregoing instances. Moreover, articles “a” and “an” as used in the subject specification and annexed drawings should generally be construed to mean “one or more” unless specified otherwise or clear from context to be directed to a singular form. 
     Moreover, terms like “user equipment (UE),” “mobile station,” “mobile,” subscriber station,” “subscriber equipment,” “access terminal,” “terminal,” “handset,” and similar terminology, refer to a wireless device utilized by a subscriber or user of a wireless communication service to receive or convey data, control, voice, video, sound, gaming, or substantially any data-stream or signaling-stream. The foregoing terms are utilized interchangeably in the subject specification and related drawings. Likewise, the terms “access point (AP),” “base station,” “NodeB,” “evolved Node B (eNodeB),” “home Node B (HNB),” “home access point (HAP),” “cell device,” “sector,” “cell,” “relay device,” “node,” “point,” and the like, are utilized interchangeably in the subject application, and refer to a wireless network component or appliance that serves and receives data, control, voice, video, sound, gaming, or substantially any data-stream or signaling-stream to and from a set of subscriber stations or provider enabled devices. Data and signaling streams can include packetized or frame-based flows. 
     Additionally, the terms “core-network”, “core”, “core carrier network”, “carrier-side”, or similar terms can refer to components of a telecommunications network that typically provides some or all of aggregation, authentication, call control and switching, charging, service invocation, or gateways. Aggregation can refer to the highest level of aggregation in a service provider network wherein the next level in the hierarchy under the core nodes is the distribution networks and then the edge networks. UEs do not normally connect directly to the core networks of a large service provider but can be routed to the core by way of a switch or radio area network. Authentication can refer to determinations regarding whether the user requesting a service from the telecom network is authorized to do so within this network or not. Call control and switching can refer determinations related to the future course of a call stream across carrier equipment based on the call signal processing. Charging can be related to the collation and processing of charging data generated by various network nodes. Two common types of charging mechanisms found in present day networks can be prepaid charging and postpaid charging. Service invocation can occur based on some explicit action (e.g. call transfer) or implicitly (e.g., call waiting). It is to be noted that service “execution” may or may not be a core network functionality as third party network/nodes may take part in actual service execution. A gateway can be present in the core network to access other networks. Gateway functionality can be dependent on the type of the interface with another network. 
     Furthermore, the terms “user,” “subscriber,” “customer,” “consumer,” “prosumer,” “agent,” and the like are employed interchangeably throughout the subject specification, unless context warrants particular distinction(s) among the terms. It should be appreciated that such terms can refer to human entities or automated components (e.g., supported through artificial intelligence, as through a capacity to make inferences based on complex mathematical formalisms), that can provide simulated vision, sound recognition and so forth. 
     Aspects, features, or advantages of the subject matter can be exploited in substantially any, or any, wired, broadcast, wireless telecommunication, radio technology or network, or combinations thereof. Non-limiting examples of such technologies or networks include Geocast technology; broadcast technologies (e.g., sub-Hz, ELF, VLF, LF, MF, HF, VHF, UHF, SHF, THz broadcasts, etc.); Ethernet; X.25; powerline-type networking (e.g., PowerLine AV Ethernet, etc.); femto-cell technology; Wi-Fi; Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX); Enhanced General Packet Radio Service (Enhanced GPRS); Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP or 3G) Long Term Evolution (LTE); 3GPP Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) or 3GPP UMTS; Third Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB); High Speed Packet Access (HSPA); High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA); High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA); GSM Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) Radio Access Network (RAN) or GERAN; UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN); or LTE Advanced. 
     What has been described above includes examples of systems and methods illustrative of the disclosed subject matter. It is, of course, not possible to describe every combination of components or methods herein. One of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that many further combinations and permutations of the disclosure are possible. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms “includes,” “has,” “possesses,” and the like are used in the detailed description, claims, appendices and drawings such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “comprising” as “comprising” is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim. 
     Performing aggregation above the RLC makes it possible to perform the routing and aggregation at the same protocol sublayer. Thus, additional possibilities in terms of taking into account routing information while performing bearer aggregation can be used to facilitate a more efficient system. Additionally, it also reduces the impact on standards for lower protocol stack layers. Similarly, the benefits of performing aggregation below the RLC are that it can reduce the demand for LCID space extension when trying to support 1:1 mapping of UE bearers to backhaul channels. 
     While the various embodiments are susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, certain illustrated implementations thereof are shown in the drawings and have been described above in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intention to limit the various embodiments to the specific forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the various embodiments. 
     In addition to the various implementations described herein, it is to be understood that other similar implementations can be used or modifications and additions can be made to the described implementation(s) for performing the same or equivalent function of the corresponding implementation(s) without deviating therefrom. Still further, multiple processing chips or multiple devices can share the performance of one or more functions described herein, and similarly, storage can be effected across a plurality of devices. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited to any single implementation, but rather is to be construed in breadth, spirit and scope in accordance with the appended claims.
