  • Patent number: 11962372
    Abstract: A channel matrix representing characteristics of a multi-path channel between a transmitter device (210) equipped with multiple transmitter antennas (211, 212, 213, 214, 215) and at least one receiver device (220, 230, 240) equipped with one or more receiver antennas (221, 222, 231, 232, 241, 242). The channel matrix is organized in one or more channel vectors each associated with a corresponding one of the one or more receiver antennas (221, 222, 231, 232, 241, 242). An iterative optimization algorithm is applied to determine a precoding matrix from the channel matrix. At least one step size of the iterative optimization algorithm is set depending on a vector norm of at least one of the channel vectors. Multi-antenna transmission by the transmitter device (210) is then controlled based on the determined precoding matrix.

  • Patent number: 11963057
    Abstract: After receiving a handover command (22) that commands a wireless device (16) to perform a make-before-break handover (24), the wireless device (16) continues to receive from a source link (20-0) downlink data packets for an unacknowledged mode bearer (21), until after the wireless device (16) establishes a connection with the target link (20-1) as part of the handover. After the wireless device (16) establishes the connection with the target link (20-1), the wireless device (16) receives from the target link (20-1) downlink data packets for the unacknowledged mode bearer (21). The wireless device (16) preserves a downlink data packet sequence number receiver status for the unacknowledged mode bearer (21), by using the same downlink data packet sequence number receiver status for the unacknowledged mode bearer (21) before and after the handover.
