Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A phase rotation adjustment may be applied in cases where a transmitted signal is heterodyned. For instance, a device (e.g., a base station, a user equipment (UE), a wireless repeater) may determine that a receiving device may receive a transmitted signal at a carrier frequency that is different from a carrier frequency used by a transmitting device (e.g., such as in the case of a wireless repeater relaying the signal from the transmitting device to the receiving device). A phase rotation adjustment may be applied by the device (e.g., the base station, UE, or wireless repeater) to account for the heterodyning. The phase rotation adjustment may be based on the carrier frequency used by the receiving device to receive the signal. In some cases, a receiving device may also apply the phase rotation adjustment following the demodulation of a received signal.

The wireless repeater may then perform a frequency translation from the first carrier frequency to the second carrier frequency, and may also apply a phase rotation adjustment corresponding to the frequency translation. The wireless repeater may retransmit the signal including the phase rotation adjustment over the second carrier frequency to a second device in the wireless network.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to devices, systems and methods for multi-beam formation. A user equipment (UE) may determine a sampling interval for references signals to be transmitted by a base station for an upcoming control or data communication.
