Abstract: Methods, systems, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium that provide a sanctuary antenna for mitigating FDD carrier degradation during TDD antenna sharing are provided. The method begins with determining that the carrier degradation will occur during at least one FDD receive signal slot in a FDD frequency band on at least one antenna of the TDD frequency band based on the at least one FDD receive signal slot coinciding with at least one scheduled TDD transmit slot. Then, based on the determining, switching at least one scheduled FDD receive signal slot from the at least one antenna of the TDD frequency band to a sanctuary antenna occurs. The sanctuary antenna is used for a duration of at least one sounding reference signal (SRS) symbol.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving signal propagation using lasers. A laser device is used to clear the air between a first fixed station, such as a base station, and a second fixed station, such as a fixed wireless access device. In the wake of the laser, particles in the air interface are cleared along a path that can then be used to communicate one or more sets of wireless signals. In the wake of the laser, the wireless signals experience less absorption, reflection, and refraction, reducing path loss, and increasing the overall effectiveness of the wireless system—particularly at or near the cell edge or when a meteorological condition exists between the fixed stations.
