  • Publication number: 20210243744
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for GIS-NR beamforming for mmWave. For example, certain embodiments may provide for beam realignment, through which a serving network node may be able to re-position its beam towards a UE without the UE explicitly measuring and signalling to the network node the need for realignment. Instead of performing the traditional UE-based exhaustive beam search, the serving network node may proactively switch the beam in an attempt to track the UE movements. The serving network node may do this by corroborating information from two types of sources: 1) a set of neighbor mobile or fixed network nodes and 2) a geographic information system (GIS).

  • Publication number: 20210135770
    Abstract: A base station in a wireless network receives, from a UE in the wireless network, a message indicating the UE requests a gap for the UE to perform self-calibration of full-duplex communication. The base station determines the gap for the UE to use to perform the self-calibration of full duplex communication and sends indication of the gap toward the user equipment. The UE sends a message indicating the UE requests a gap in order for the UE to perform self-calibration of full duplex calibration. The UE receives, from the base station, indication of the gap. The UE performs the self-calibration of full duplex calibration using the gap.
