    摘要: Techniques for improving signal quality of communication between a user equipment (UE) and a base station by launching a supplemental communication device as the UE experiences a degradation of the signal quality are discussed herein. In some cases, the techniques can be used to improve signal quality of a Fifth Generation (5G) millimeter wave band communication. Upon detecting that the signal quality has fallen below a preselected threshold, the supplemental communication device may be launched from a platform associated with the UE to establish an improved communication with the base station that is closer to a point-to-point communication while maintaining a communication with the UE. The supplemental communication device may track the movement of the UE and maintain the point-to-point communication with base station by directionally orienting its antenna(s) towards the base station and monitor and/or detect its surroundings to avoid physical obstructions.

    摘要: Systems and methods for reducing receiver de-sensitivity caused by coupling between a primary antenna and a diversity antenna. More particularly, the systems and methods reduce receiver de-sensitivity due to harmonic components associated with the signal transmitted by the primary antenna falling within a frequency band at which the diversity antenna is configured to sense signals. The systems and methods include amplifying a first signal to produce a transmission signal for transmission via the primary antenna; receiving, at the diversity antenna, a receive signal; amplifying, via a low noise amplifier, the receive signal to apply a gain to the receive signal; inverting the transmission signal; and adding the inverted transmission signal to the amplified receive signal to produce a corrected receive signal. Accordingly, the harmonic components introduced into the receive signal are canceled out via negative feedback at the radio frequency (RF) front end.
