Abstract: To configure a UE for handover between a source evolved Node-B (eNB) and a target eNB using aerial communications in a cellular network, the UE processing circuitry is to decode measurement configuration information from the source eNB. The measurement configuration information includes a plurality of height thresholds associated with aerial height of the UE. A measurement report is encoded for transmission to the source eNB. The measurement report includes the aerial height of the UE and the measurement report generation triggered based on one or more triggering events associated with the plurality of height thresholds. RRC signaling from the source eNB is decoded, the RRC signaling including a handover command. The handover command is based on a handover decision by the source eNB using the measurement report. A handover from the source eNB to the target eNB is performed based on the handover command.

Abstract: A communication device and a method for determining an information from a second device including setting an initial beamforming pattern is provided. The initial beamforming pattern includes a beamforming direction and a corresponding beamforming area for each of the plurality of antenna ports, including determining a concerned direction interval based on overlapping beamforming areas of adjacent pairs of the plurality of antenna ports, receiving a signal from the second device, measuring a signal gain from the signal on each of the plurality of antenna ports, determining which concerned direction interval the second device occupies based on an antenna port having the highest signal gain and on one of the adjacent pair of antenna ports to the antenna port having the highest signal gain having a higher signal gain, and determining the information from the second device based on the determined concerned direction interval.

Abstract: The present application discloses systems and methods for performing location-based actions. The methods may include obtaining, by an electronic device, location information associated with the electronic device with respect to a reference location. The methods may further include determining, by the electronic device, whether the location information changes from a first status to a second status. The methods may further include performing, by the electronic device, a predetermined action upon determining that the location information changes from the first status to the second status. The location information may relate to a speed, a direction, an acceleration, a geographic location of the electronic device, and/or a distance between the electronic device and the reference location.

Abstract: Devices and methods of providing joint scheduling in a full-duplex LTE system are generally described. The UE measures intra-cell interference at the UE caused by a UL transmission from each intra-cell UE, calculates a ratio of the intra-cell interference over an average inter-cell interference, determines whether the intra-cell UE is an aggressor or non-aggressor based on whether the ratio exceeds a threshold, transmits at least some of the determinations to the eNB as feedback, and communicates with the eNB based on a schedule that is dependent on the feedback such that the UE is neither an aggressor nor is subject to interference from aggressors. The schedule may also be based on wideband CQI feedback based on a ratio of an average overall DL interference plus noise over the average inter-cell interference plus noise and/or subband CQI feedback based on SINR measurements.

Abstract: Technologies for providing signal quality based route management for unmanned aerial vehicles include a device that includes circuitry to produce a data set indicative of a wireless communication signal quality at each of multiple locations in a geographic area. The circuitry is also to produce, as a function of the data set and a target wireless communication signal quality, a planned route for a vehicle through the geographic area.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for mitigation and detection of drone-based interference are disclosed. An apparatus for a base station can include processing circuitry to encode a message to control a user equipment (UE) to measure received power received from a set of observed cells in a wireless communication network. Processing circuitry can further be configured to receive a report from the UE that includes received power for the set of observed cells. The processing circuitry can further determine interference power from the UE to a specified cell of the set of observed cells based on the report and further based on reported antenna gain. The processing circuitry can further determine whether to support communication of the UE within the wireless communication network based on the determined interference power from the UE. Other systems, methods and apparatuses are described.
