  • Publication number: 20250253871
    Abstract: An apparatus for processing radio frequency signals, comprising a primary signal processing stage that is configured to process multiband radio frequency signals comprising at least a first frequency band and a second frequency band, a first signal path, and a second signal path, wherein the apparatus is configured to selectively couple the primary signal processing stage a) with the first signal path to enable processing of multiband radio frequency signals associated with the first signal path using the primary signal processing stage and/or b) with the second signal path to enable processing of multiband radio frequency signals associated with the second signal path using the primary signal processing stage.

  • Publication number: 20210258817
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for improving redundant data treatment in communication systems are provided. One method may include detecting, by a network entity, that two or more flows of packets are related. The method may then include informing lower layer(s) that the packets are related along with their QoS constraints, and directing the lower layer(s) to ensure that latency, availability and/or reliability requirements of the packets are fulfilled.

  • Patent number: 10819383
    Abstract: A transceiver includes a transmit signal path, a receive signal path, an amplifier, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to couple the amplifier in the transmit signal path to amplify a transmit signal during a transmit operating mode of the transceiver. Furthermore, the control circuitry is configured to couple the amplifier in the receive signal path to amplify a receive signal during a receive operating mode of the transceiver.

  • Patent number: 10455496
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to apparatuses (10; 20), methods and computer programs for determining transmission control information. The Apparatus (10) is suitable for a base band unit (110) of a base station transceiver (100) of a mobile communication system (300), the base station transceiver (100) further comprising one or more radio units (120) configured to wirelessly communicate with the base band unit (110) using one or more wireless fronthaul links. The apparatus (10) comprises at least one output (12) configured to transmit a downlink component of the one or more wireless fronthaul links to the one or more radio units (120). The apparatus (10) further comprises at least one input (14) configured to receive an uplink component of the one or more wireless fronthaul links from the one or more radio units (120). The apparatus (10) further comprises a control module (16) configured to control the at least one output (12) and the at least one input (14).

  • Patent number: 10128929
    Abstract: The embodiments of the invention relate to a transmitter method for multiple antenna systems. The transmitter method contains the step of operating at least one antenna array in a first operation mode by transmitting first transmit signals (TS1-1, TS1-a, TS1-A) from a first number of antenna elements (AEG1) with a first transmit power and the step of operating the at least one antenna array in at least one second operation mode by transmitting at least second transmit signals (TS2-1, TS2-b, TS2-B, TS3-1, TS3-C, TS3-C) from at least one second number of antenna elements (AEG2, AEG3) smaller than the first number of antenna elements with at least one second transmit power larger than the first transmit power. The embodiments of the invention further relate to a transmitter apparatus for multiple antenna systems.
