Abstract: A multi-beam communication system uses an array of antenna assemblies, and RF elements, to provide two or more sets of multiple beams, where each individual set of beams can be considered a beam state. An antenna assembly has a first set of RF elements oriented to produce a first beam state, and a second set of RF elements oriented to produce a second beam state. Each set of RF elements comprise a set of output sectors, where a controller is configured to selectively activate a beam state.

Abstract: This application proposes multi-beam antenna systems using spherical lens with high isolation between antenna ports and compatible to 2×2, 4×4, 8×8 MIMO transceivers. Several compact multi-band multi-beam solutions (with wideband operation, 40%+, in each band) are achieved by creating dual-band radiators movable on the track around spherical lens and by placing of lower band radiators between spherical lenses. By using of secondary lens for high band radiators, coupling between low band and high band radiators is reduced. Beam tilt range and side lobe suppression are improved by special selection of phase shift and rotational angle of radiators. Resultantly, a wide beam tilt range (0-40 degree) is realized in proposed multi-beam antenna systems. Each beam can be individually tilted. Based on proposed single- and multi-lens antenna solutions, cell coverage improvements and stadium tribune coverage optimization are also achieved, together with interference reduction.

Abstract: A processing device in a host computer system receives an instruction to write data to a storage device coupled to the host computer system and store a copy of the data in a cache of the host computer system. The processing device initiates a write operation to write the data from the cache to the storage device and detects that the storage device is disconnected from the host computer system during execution of the write operation. In response to detecting that the storage device is disconnected, the processing device may suspend execution of at least one of a virtual machine or a process that issued the first instruction. After determining that the storage device is reconnected to the host computer system, the processing device can resume the write operation to continue writing the data from the cache to the storage device.
