Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for assigning a broadcast beam profile, which may include vertical and/or horizontal beam widths, to a particular cell site. In determining which broadcast beam profile to assign, an elevation and/or height associated with a cell site, an elevation of the user devices within the coverage area of the cell site, or a quantity of user devices above a predetermined elevation is considered. Based on this information, a broadcast beam profile is assigned to the cell site. At least one of a horizontal or vertical beam width is then adjusted based on the broadcast beam profile.

Abstract: The present invention provides a mobile terminal with a call function or a texting function. The present invention controls the use of a mobile terminal by a manual operation because of an incoming call during movement. Location information indicating movement of a mobile terminal with a call or a message data exchange function is received by a GPS receiver, the distance and the movement speed are determined by using the measurement information of the two locations at every predetermined time, and whether or not the mobile terminal is moving in accordance with the movement speed is determined by a movement determination unit. When it is determined by the movement determination unit that the mobile terminal is moving, the display of incoming call information indicating an incoming call is set to non-displayed on the display unit, and at the same time, a notification sound from a speaker, etc. is invalid.

Abstract: A first transmit device (200), a relay device (202) and methods therein, for supporting wireless communication between transmit devices over a shared radio resource in a wireless network. The first transmit device (200) records (2:1B) source identities and destination identities of detected transmissions of data made by other transmit devices (204).

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure implement techniques for power control management between the base station and the UE to support multiple waveforms and services. In one example, the power control management system may implement independent power control loops for each waveform and service (e.g., eMBB, uRLLC, etc.) supported by the wireless communication system. For example, the base station may transmit a first power control command to a UE for first waveform (e.g., CP-OFDM) or service (e.g., eMBB) and a second power control command to the UE for the second waveform (DFT-OFDM) or service (e.g., uRLLC). Features of the present disclosure may also implement techniques that allow the base station to transmit a single power control command for configuring the power control for a plurality of waveforms or services. Upon receiving the power control commands, the UE may configure the transmission power for uplink traffic based on the power control commands.

Abstract: A method for selectively transmitting data from a transmitter to a receiver in a non-railbound land vehicle comprises, at the receiver end, selecting at least one geographical region. In this case, a geographical region corresponds to a limited area on a map.
