  • Publication number: 20250055575
    Abstract: Various example embodiments relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable mediums for virtual cable calibration in over the air conformance testing. In an example embodiment, a terminal device may receive training signals from at least four probes, estimate a channel based on the received training signals, and transmit a representation of the estimated channel to a test equipment coupled to the at least four probes. The terminal device and the at least four probes are positioned in a testing chamber. The estimated channel includes an over the air, OTA, channel portion between the at least four probes and the terminal device. The representation of the estimated channel is transmitted to the test equipment for compensation of the OTA channel portion.

  • Patent number: 12203247
    Abstract: A method for operating an on-board water supply and distribution system of an aircraft for supplying water includes a central water tank, first consumer assemblies with buffer tanks each including a heater to heat up water in the buffer tank to a disinfection temperature, pump having upstream and downstream sides to operate in supply and reverse modes, and high-pressure conduit system. The central water tank connects to the pump's upstream side. The conduit system connects the downstream side with a first consumer assembly. The method includes operating the pump in supply mode where water from the central tank goes to a first consumer assembly to fill a buffer tank, operating a buffer tank heater so water heats to a predetermined disinfection temperature, and operating the pump in reverse mode so heated water passes through a part of the conduit system and the upstream side of the pump.

  • Publication number: 20240356604
    Abstract: A network element in a wireless network sends, to a target UE, configuration of CSI RSs for use in a time-frequency resource space of a PDSCH. The configuration informs the UE to use the CSI RSs for interference parameter detection of co-scheduled UE(s) in the PDSCH. The network element transmits, toward the target UE, the CSI RSs. A target UE in a wireless network receives, from a network element, configuration of CSI RSs for use in a time-frequency resource space of a physical downlink shared channel. The configuration informs the target UE to use the CSI RSs for interference parameter detection of co-scheduled UE(s) in the PDSCH. The target UE receives, from the network element, the CSI RSs. The target UE performs the interference parameter detection using the CSI RSs.
