Abstract: User equipment includes one or more antennas, a receiver coupled to the one or more antennas, and processing circuitry coupled to the receiver and configured to cause the user equipment to receive downlink signals at each communication cycle using a predetermined beam in a beam time slot. Based on processed downlink signals and other relevant information the user equipment may determine a desired beam for the next communication cycle. If the desired beam is the same as the predetermined beam, the user equipment may continue using the predetermined beam at the next communication cycle. If the desired beam is different from the predetermined beam, the user equipment may switch to the desired beam at the next communication cycle. In this way, the user equipment may continue tracking a desired beam to maintain reliable data communications with a communication node.

Abstract: Frequency spectrum of wireless transmission signals are allocated based on availability and regulatory requirements. To ensure transmission signals are within designated channel boundary, user equipment utilizes processing circuitry coupled to a transceiver to pre-compensate for estimated frequency shift at the time of transmissions. Certain guard bands are provided such that the actual transmission signals with the frequency pre-compensation are within the designated channel boundary. Additionally, or alternatively, the user equipment utilizes the processing circuitry to pre-compensate for estimated time shift based on a crystal drift using temperature measurement.

Abstract: User equipment includes a receiver, a first antenna and a second antenna coupled to the receiver, and processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the receiver and configured to cause the receiver to receive a first signal via the first antenna and a second signal via the second antenna, adjust the first signal based on a first time offset and a first frequency offset associated with the first signal to generate a first adjusted signal, adjust the second signal based on a second time offset and a second frequency offset associated with the second signal to generate a second adjusted signal, and decode downlink information based on the first adjusted signal and the second adjusted signal.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a transmitter and processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the transmitter and configured to determine a position of a communication hub relative to the electronic device and cause the transmitter to transmit a signal directed to the communication hub at a transmission power based on the position.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for characterized pre-distortion calibration is provided. The method begins with the selection of a number of devices to be characterized. The number of devices selected may be a subset of a larger group of devices. The selected number of devices is then characterized. The method avoids characterizing the large group of devices. The calibration of the group of devices is then based on the characterization of the selected number of devices.
