Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for updating beam-based communications are described. A base station may configure a user equipment (UE) with a set of beam management configurations, which may be used to modify (e.g., dynamically or periodically) beam-based communications. For example, the base station may indicate a beam configuration for utilization by the UE and the UE may switch to the indicated beam configuration or update a currently used beam configuration based on the indication. In another example, a set of beam configurations may be sequentially ordered, and the base station may indicate to the UE to use the next beam configuration in the sequence of beam configurations. The update to the beam configuration may be triggered based on a distance change (e.g., UE and base station getting closer or farther apart) or a reference signal measurement between the UE and the base station, among other factors.

Abstract: Approaches are described for accurate spatial diagnostics data and channel state information (CSI) recording due to dynamic bandwidth selection and other network changes in a wireless local area network (WLAN). Data transmissions such as channel soundings of a network, including data communications between networked computing devices on a communication channel of the network, can be obtained. The data communications can be associated with channel state parameters that can describe characteristics of the channel through which data is transmitted. The channel state parameters can be monitored overtime to detect a trigger event on the network. A type of trigger event can be determined based on channel state parameters before and after the event. Optimization parameters (e.g., operation parameters, calibration parameters, etc.) or other such information can be determined based on the type of trigger event.

Abstract: A device uses gated retro-reflectors to transmit uplink data in a visible light communication (VLC) system. The gated retro-reflector includes a retro-reflector and a gating shutter between the retro-reflector and a VLC light source. A light sensor receives VLC data at regular intervals in which a light pulse received during one of the intervals represents a first downloaded symbol and absence of a light pulse during another one of the intervals represents a second downloaded symbol. A controller controls the gating shutter to send uplink data from the device responsive to each received VLC light pulse. The controller opens the gating shutter during the reception of a VLC light pulse to upload a first uploaded symbol and closes the gating shutter during the reception of a VLC light pulse to upload a second uploaded symbol.
