Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for a wireless device to perform millimeter wavelength communication with increased reliability and power efficiency using sensor inputs. The sensor inputs may include motion, rotation, or temperature measurements, among various possibilities. The sensor inputs may be used when performing beamforming tracking, antenna configuration, transmit and receive chain measurements and selection, and/or in any of various other possible operations.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to performing cellular communication using a control information monitoring framework. A wireless device may monitor a control channel for control information according to a first periodic pattern. According to the first periodic pattern, the wireless device may monitor the control channel in a specified slot during each period of the first periodic pattern. Each period of the first periodic pattern may include multiple slots. The wireless device may receive control information during a first slot. The first slot may be a specified slot according to the first periodic pattern. The control information received during the first slot may schedule a data communication. The wireless device may monitor the control channel for control information in at least one slot that is not specified according to the first periodic pattern based at least in part on receiving control information during a specified slot according to the first periodic pattern.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) supports communication over a first (lower) frequency range and a second (higher) frequency range. The UE determines an extent of preference of the second frequency range over the first frequency range, e.g., based on one or more of the following: sensor measurements; physical channel measurements; battery conditions; weather conditions; voice call activity; indoor/outdoor/in-car status; learned relationships between previous location-time conditions and performance on the second frequency range; etc. The UE device may control search activity and/or measurement activity on the second frequency range based on the preference extent, e.g., by controlling rates of repetition of search and/or measurement on the second frequency range, or by adding a measurement bias to a measurement reporting threshold, or by adding a delay to a measurement reporting time for a measurement, or by disabling search and measurement on the second frequency range.

Abstract: Methods and devices for performing an offline beam search. The methods include receiving a radio frequency signal comprising a reference signal, wherein the radio frequency signal corresponds to a transmitter beam, projecting the radio frequency signal on orthogonal signal subspaces and storing the projected signals and performing a beam search to identify a receiver beam for the transmitter beam using the projected signals, wherein the beam search is performed offline.
