Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes at least receiver circuitry, a processor, and memory. The apparatus also includes a plurality of directional antennas configured to simultaneously receive different downlink signals for each polarization. The apparatus further includes control circuitry for controlling processes for beam sweeping, beam refinement, and selecting a beam pair that maximizes signal strength while minimizing inter-layer-group interference. A portable electronic device and a stationary electronic device that include the apparatus are also provided. A method carried out by means, such as the apparatus, is also provided. A computer program product, such as a non-transitory computer readable medium, for causing an apparatus to carry out such a method is also provided.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for radio channel pattern matching. One method may include receiving, at an antenna panel, at least two configured transmission configuration indicator states for simultaneous multiple input multiple output reception; for each of the at least two configured transmission configuration indicator states for simultaneous reception from one or more transmission reception points, sweeping at least one narrow beam receiving one or more repeated reference signals received from the one or more transmission reception points; and, based upon at least one spatial radio multipath channel characteristic of the one or more repeated reference signals carrying each transmission configuration indicator state, selecting at least one antenna element of the antenna panel to form a group of antenna elements and control the group of antenna elements to direct at least one beam.

Abstract: A system and method for determining optimal pathways to a predetermined goal, including generating a unique code for an event within a plurality of data records, where the same unique code will be generated for similar events; constructing at least one pathway using the unique codes based on the events, wherein the at least one pathway includes at least one segment; determining a goal, wherein the goal is the end of the at least one pathway; comparing the at least one pathway to other pathways sharing the determined goal; and optimizing the pathway for achievement of the determined goal.
