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

Claim (Index 17):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors to perform operations for communication by a User Equipment (UE), the operations to configure the one or more processors to:\n receive, from a macro-cell Evolved Node-B (eNB), a request to determine small-cell signal quality measurements based on a reception, at the UE, of access point reference signals (APRS) from one or more small-cell access points (AP); transmit, to the macro-cell eNB, small-cell signal quality measurements that are determined by the UE; and receive, from the macro-cell eNB, a request to determine pencil cell signal quality measurements for a group of candidate pencil cells supported by at least a portion of the small-cell APs, wherein the pencil cell signal quality measurements are based on a reception, at the UE, of directional beam reference signals (BRS) from the small-cell APs according to the candidate pencil cells.
