  • Publication number: 20210367340
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device may be configured to include an array of lenses along with multiple antenna arrays that each include a set of antenna elements. The antenna arrays may each support multiple beam directions, such as a respective beam direction for each lens of the array of lenses. If beams for multiple antenna arrays concurrently pass through the same lens, the lens may contribute to maintaining separation between the beams. Lenses may also contribute to the shaping of beams, and the use of multiple lenses may enhance a coverage area for beams transmitted or received by the antenna arrays.

  • Patent number: 9379791
    Abstract: Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication systems and methods for chip to chip and intrachip communication are disclosed. In one aspect, MIMO techniques that have been applied to wireless communication systems are applied to interchip and intrachip communication systems. In particular, a transfer function is applied at the transmitter, and a reverse transfer function is applied at the receiver. The transfer function dynamically changes based on channel conditions to cancel or otherwise mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk conditions. In an exemplary aspect, a sum of power levels across the channels may have a maximum. To abide by such power level constraint, the transfer function may be optimized to reduce interference while remaining within the power level constraint.

  • Patent number: 9312933
    Abstract: A mobile wireless device may dynamically alter a downlink MIMO function by switching it on and off, or switching between different downlink MIMO configurations, such as 2×MIMO and 4×MIMO. Still further, a mobile device having greater than two antennas may dynamically select a subset of the antennas to be used to receive a MIMO transmission, and further, enable a mobile device to request a subset of antennas at a base station to be used for the MIMO transmission. This dynamic control of the MIMO mode or configuration may be achieved by using implicit signaling, by way of an enlarged code word set in CQI feedback transmissions, or by using explicit signaling, by way of E-DPCCH orders. In this way, a MIMO-capable mobile device may dynamically be configured for downlink MIMO transmissions as the conditions demand, enabling MIMO to be switched off when its use might otherwise cause performance to suffer.

  • Patent number: 9294235
    Abstract: In aspects of the present disclosure, a user equipment receives inter-NodeB multi-point transmissions, and a multipoint aggregation component detects a gap in the sequence numbers, delays transmitting a not acknowledged signal (NAK) by starting a NAK delay timer, and transmits, by a transceiver, NAK for the gap in sequence numbers in response to the NAK delay timer expiring and detecting that the gap has not been filled during the delaying. If the Medium Access Control (MAC) entity as the respective NodeB identifies itself to the Radio Link Control (RLC), out-of-order delivery (skew) can eventually be distinguished from genuine data loss before the NAK delay timer expires based upon tracking the highest sequence numbers received. Adaptive NAK delay timer can be performed by monitoring skew duration.

  • Patent number: 9125098
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for improved Iub link congestion management based on a dynamic scaling of flow control request message transmission in multiflow wireless environments. For example, in an aspect, methods and apparatuses are provided for receiving, at a NodeB, a data request from one or more user equipment (UE), wherein each data request corresponds to a flow and the one or more UE is served by a plurality of NodeBs, generating a flow control request corresponding to each flow in response to each data request, and sending each flow control request to a radio network controller (RNC). Thereafter, a Node B may receive data in response to each flow control request, determine a congestion state based on a downlink delay from the RNC detected in the received data, and scale a subsequent one or more flow control requests based on the determined congestion state.
