Abstract: Aspects of mmWave beam tracking and beam sweeping are described, for example, spatial searching operations, directional beam forming, complex channel measurement operations, and adaptive power savings. Some aspects include using priori information for mmWave beam tracking and beam sweeping. Some aspects include using priori information to modify a superset of beam criteria to obtain a subset of beam criteria, select a spatial region according to the subset of beam criteria, and initiate a spatial searching operation within the spatial region for establishing a communication link. Some aspects include obtaining complex channel measurements of beams and combining the measurements with priori information to determine a beam for use in a communication link. Some aspects include providing signals from Nr over K1 input/output (IO) links and receiving signals over K1 IO links, and combining signals received over the K1 IO links, using a compression matrix, to generate signals over K IO links.

Abstract: An apparatus of a wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE), can include processing circuitry configured to perform one or more of the handover-related techniques disclosed herein. For example, when associated with moving with a plurality of mobile devices from coverage of a first cell to a second cell, the processing circuitry can detect the second cell. One or more parameters of the second cell can be measured. The one or more parameters can be communicated to one or more other mobile devices of the plurality of mobile devices.

Abstract: A method can include receiving, from communicatively coupled mesh nodes of the mesh distribution network, data indicating whether respective mesh nodes of the mesh nodes are acting as gateways and an amount of traffic being served by the mesh nodes, determining, based on the received data, a first mesh node of the mesh nodes to put into an inactive state, and providing a communication to the first mesh node that causes the first mesh node to enter the inactive state.

Abstract: A wireless device includes one or more antennas coupled to a transmit (TX) chain. The TX chain is configured to generate output RF signals using baseband signals. The TX chain includes a TX power controller configured to classify a packet of the output RF signals into a priority category of a plurality of priority categories based on priority information within the packet. The TX power controller is further to determine a time average specific absorption rate (TAS) energy budget of the wireless device. The TAS energy budget is based on a pre-configured regulatory power limit (e.g., SAR transmit power limit) of the wireless device over a time interval. Transmission power for transmitting the packet is determined based on the priority category and the TAS energy budget. The packet is encoded for transmission via the one or more antennas using the determined transmission power.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer readable medium for special thermal density reduction by antenna thinning. A system comprises N transmit/receive (TX/RX) chains, where each TX/RX chain comprises an RFFE and each RFFE comprises one or more thermal sensors configured to measure heat in the RFFE. An antenna array coupled to the plurality of TX/RX chains. A codebook that comprises a plurality of code words configured to respond to real-time heat measurements from the thermal sensors in each TX/RX chain is configured to switch off selected TX/RX chains to reduce thermal density at the antenna array while maintaining M RFFEs switched on, where M<N and the desired beamforming gain is 10log10(M).
