Abstract: A method includes receiving an indication that a wireless-power receiver is located within one meter of a wireless-power transmission system and is authorized to receive wirelessly-delivered power from a wireless-power transmission system. The method includes, in response to receiving the indication, selecting a power level at which to amplify a radio frequency (RF) signal using a power amplifier (PA). In accordance with a determination that transmitting the RF signal to the wireless-power receiver would satisfy safety thresholds, the method includes instructing the PA to amplify the RF signal using the power level to create an amplified RF signal, and providing the amplified RF signal to the one or more antennas. The one or more antennas are caused to, upon receiving the amplified RF signal, radiate RF energy that is focused within an operating area that includes the wireless-power receiver while forgoing any active beamforming control.

Abstract: Data symbols in an input signal are detected with a slicer of a DFE of a transceiver device. An output of a feedback filter of the DFE is generated, during a particular clock cycle, based on a first set of one or more data symbols detected during first one or more previous clock cycles and a second set of one or more data symbols detected during second one or more previous clock cycles. The second set is separated from the first set by a third set of one or more data symbols detected during third one or more clock cycles that occur after the first one or more clock cycles and before the second one or more clock cycles, where the output is generated without use of the third set of symbols. The output is subtracted from the input signal to generate an equalized input to the slicer.

Abstract: According to methods of performing measurements to determine a distance to a passive-intermodulation (“PIM”) source, a first RF signal comprising a first frequency and a second RF signal comprising a second frequency may be applied to a device under test. A reference signal comprising a higher-order intermodulation-product of the first frequency and the second frequency may also be generated. An output signal from the device under test and the reference signal may be digitized and a calibration measurement may be applied. A phase difference between the device under test output and the reference signal may be determined. A plurality of phase differences may be determined for multiple first frequencies, and from the plurality of phase differences, a delay may be calculated, which may be multiplied by the velocity of propagation on the medium connecting the device under test to the test equipment to determine a distance to the PIM source.

In response to receiving a control information, the random-access procedure is stopped before the random-access procedure completes. The BWP inactivity timer is restarted based on the stopping of the random-access procedure.
Abstract: A device such as an autonomous mobile device may include an extensible mast or other structure that changes length during operation. A cable between electronics at the ends of the structure includes a data line for signals and a power line for electrical power. A deployed length of the cable is determined and used to determine the phase of an antinoise signal that is radiated using the power line. The antinoise signal destructively interferes with at least a portion of the radiated noise from the data line, reducing the overall amplitude of the radiated noise. The deployed length may also be used to adjust other parameters, such as equalizer settings for one or more of a transmitter or receiver that is connected to the data line.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for a selection of one or more transmission and reception points (TRPs) within a multi-TRP system. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) may transmit an indication of the selected TRPs and an indication of one or more beams that the selected TRPs may use to communicate with the UE based on a mismatch between a default operating frequency (DOF) of each TRP within the multi-TRP system and a DOF of the UE. For example, the UE may receive an indication of a DOF of each antenna port of the TRPs within the multi-TRP system and the UE may compare the indicated DOFs with a DOF of each antenna module of the UE. The UE may select to communicate with TRPs and select one or more ports that the selected TRPs may use to communicate with the UE based on the comparison.
Abstract: A system filters out-of-band radio frequency emissions generated by wireless transmission of a first signal by a first transmitter from a wireless transmission of a second transmitter. The first signal is communicated from the first transmitter to the second transmitter via one or more wired connections. An out-of-band portion of a modulated format of the first signal is inverted to generate an inverted out-of-band component signal. The inverted out-of-band component signal is combined with a second signal of the second transmitter to create a filtering second signal. The filtering second signal is wirelessly transmitted from the second transmitter concurrently with wireless transmission of the first signal by the first transmitter, wherein the wireless transmission of the inverted out-of-band component signal in the filtering second signal by the second transmitter is synchronized with the wireless transmission of the first signal by the first transmitter.
