  • Publication number: 20250233324
    Abstract: A foldable phased array antenna panel system for massive Multiple-input Multiple-output (mMIMO) radio functionality in a wireless network includes: three foldable phased array antenna panels each including a first sub-panel and a second sub-panel conductively coupled to each other via a folding structure defining a folding axis, and each of the first and second sub-panels includes multiple antenna elements. Each foldable phased array antenna panel is configured to be selectively operated in one of two modes: i) a flat panel mode, in which the first and second sub-panels are in a single flat plane; and ii) a folded panel mode, in which the first and second sub-panels are in two different planes meeting at an obtuse folding angle at a vertex defined by the folding axis. If one panel experiences outage, the remaining antenna panels extend their coverage sectors to cover the sector of the antenna panel experiencing outage.

  • Publication number: 20050226185
    Abstract: During operation a device (101) will utilize a wireless local-area network (206) when within the coverage area of the wireless local-area network, and will utilize wide-area network (207) when outside of the coverage area of the wireless local-area network. The device will also utilize both the local, and wide-area networks for soft handoff purposes when both systems are available for communication.
