  • Patent number: 11563479
    Abstract: A test transmission can be used to train and/or select a signal. For example, a cellular network can configure a receiver with a recommended receiver signal sweeping pattern for mobile devices. A transmitter device can duplicate a data packet transmission and send it to a receiver device to ensure that the receiver can receive the duplicated packets from different signals. Consequently, the duplicated data packet can be indicated in the associated control channel so that the receiver is aware that the data packet is a duplicated transmission, and based on this info and configuration data, the receiver can select a more favorable signal.
