    Patent number: 11622329
    Abstract: A network node in a wireless communication network generates configuration information that configures an extent to which a wireless communication device autonomously adapts a number of different receiver components that the wireless communication device uses under different conditions at the wireless communication device. In some examples, the different conditions may be associated with correlation of propagation channels received at the wireless communication device. The network node transmits the configuration information to the device. Correspondingly, the device autonomously adapts the number of different receiver components that the wireless communication device uses in accordance with the configuration information.

  • Method and system for managing interference in multi TRP systems
    Patent number: 11405089
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing interference in a communication network include transmitting a first downlink signal from a first transmit/receive point (TRP) to an electronic device using a beam. The electronic device can also receive a second downlink signal from a second TRP, where a portion of the first downlink signal from the first TRP interferes with the second downlink signal. The first TRP then receives a series of uplink pilot signals from the electronic device. Using the received uplink pilot signals, the first TRP can then estimate the angle of departure (AoD) for the intended signal (first downlink signal), and the AoD for the interference signal. The first TRP can then reconfigure the beam used to transmit the first downlink signal based on the estimated AoDs for the intended signal and interference signal to manage the interference effect that the first leakage signal has on the second downlink signal.
