  • Patent number: 11296809
    Abstract: A small cell interference coordination method and wireless communication device includes obtaining mobile information of at least one of the small cells. Relative movement between the small cells is determined according to at least the movement information. A Doppler frequency shift of a signal between small cells is estimated according to the relative movement. An interference alignment policy between small cells is implemented according to the estimated Doppler frequency shift.

  • Patent number: 10863519
    Abstract: A wireless communication method and device. The method includes receiving location information from one or more terminals served by a first base station, and identifying, according to the received location information, a first terminal located within the coverage range of the first base station and proximate to the coverage range of at least one second base station, the first terminal served by the first base station being capable of receiving an interference signal from the at least one second base station, and a second terminal served by a corresponding second base station and distant from the coverage range of the first base station existing within the coverage range of each of the at least one second base station. There is a cooperating with the at least one second base station to determine a downlink transmission mode for the first terminal.

  • Patent number: 10284279
    Abstract: In a wireless communications system, a base station includes a first number of antennas and a smaller second number of radio frequency links. A base station apparatus includes: a rough arrival angle estimation unit, which estimates a rough arrival angle pair by a second number of antennas and a second number of radio frequency links; a candidate arrival angle estimation unit, which determines a candidate arrival angle pair based on a rough arrival angle pair and beam widths determined by a first number and a second number of antennas, respectively; and a precise arrival angle determination unit, which calculates the difference between the projection component and real component for the candidate arrival angle pairs based on a training tone from the user equipment, and designates the candidate arrival angle pair with the smallest difference between those components as the precise arrival angle pair.
