Abstract: A method and device for optimal coexistence of a first cellular Time-Division Duplex, TDD, system and a second TDD system operating in the same frequency band. The proposed solution is capable of minimizing interferences without modifying the (RF and SW) characteristics of the second system, while at the same time achieving flexibility in UL:DL traffic ratio.

Abstract: Method and system to dynamically associate spatial layers to beams in a FWA network operating in the millimeter-wave frequency range. A base station and a CPE are willing to wirelessly transmit and receive data through a wireless channel of the FWA network, the base station having beamforming capabilities henceforth generating multiple wireless beams. The base station performs all baseband wireless functions related for creating, keeping and managing the connections between the base station and the CPE at baseband level, wherein information is handled in the form of up to M spatial layer signals, and with no built-in capabilities for creation, detection or management of the beams. The base station also performs all necessary RF functions at millimeter-wave frequencies, including beamforming and conversion from complex baseband signals to RF signals and vice versa, and also couples the RF signals to the wireless channel.

Abstract: A method and transmitter for generating broadcast beam patterns in massive MIMO systems, the transmitter comprising a rectangular antenna array with a number N1 of antenna elements in the horizontal direction and a number N2 of antenna elements in the vertical direction. The MIMO transmitter generates broadcast beam patterns with determined beam widths in horizontal and vertical dimensions to cover a sector area of a cell by the rectangular antenna array radiating N1×N2 radiofrequency signals at a carrier frequency, the sector area being where a user equipment requests from the MIMO transmitter access to the cell. The beam widths in horizontal and vertical directions are determined by using an optimum set of complex excitation coefficients calculated from a discretized continuous-space array factor ?(?,?), which is based on a discretization over the elevation angle ? and the azimuth angle ? of the antenna elements.
