  • Patent number: 12659912
    Abstract: When discontinuous reception is used with positioning and reference signals for positioning are received in a plurality of frequency bins, it may be that a frequency bin is missed. That may decrease an accuracy of the positioning. Hence, an apparatus receiving the reference signals, when determining that one or more frequency bins are missed, may use, when one or more conditions are met, earlier values per a missed frequency bin, when estimating at least one characteristic for positioning.

  • Patent number: 12592486
    Abstract: A technique is described where the switch and/or tunable control circuit for use with an active multi-mode antenna is positioned remote from the antenna structure itself for integration into host communication systems. Electrical delay and impedance characteristics are compensated for in the design and configuration of transmission lines or parasitic elements as the active multi-mode antenna structure is positioned in optimal locations such that significant electrical delay is introduced between the RF front-end circuit and multi-mode antenna. This technique can be implemented in designs where it is convenient to locate switches in a front-end module (FEM) and the FEM is located in vicinity to the transceiver.
