    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for operating transceiver circuitry to transmit or receive signals on various frequency ranges. To do so, an electronic device may determine a receive delay between one or more messages received on different component carriers and may transmit the receive delay to a base station to update how communications are transmitted on one of the component carriers. The update made to at least one of the component carriers may compensate for the receive delay between the different component carriers. Compensating for the receive delay may improve operations that delay downlink communications to reduce a likelihood or stop simultaneous downlink and uplink communications by further adjusting for delays seen at an electronic device when communicating with base stations disposed at a different distances from the electronic device.

    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry and control circuitry. The wireless circuitry may communicate with a wireless base station using a 5G New Radio (NR) communications protocol. The wireless circuitry may include a phased antenna array. The electronic device may perform antenna scaling operations in which the active antennas in the phased antenna array change over time to optimize wireless performance and power consumption. The electronic device may inform the base station when antenna scaling operations have occurred. This may allow the base station to compensate for power density discontinuities associated with the antenna scaling operations. If desired, the base station may break transmit and receive signal beam correspondence and the electronic device may use different antenna scaling settings for transmitting and receiving signals.
