Abstract: Aspects of mmWave beam tracking and beam sweeping are described, for example, spatial searching operations, directional beam forming, complex channel measurement operations, and adaptive power savings. Some aspects include using priori information for mmWave beam tracking and beam sweeping. Some aspects include using priori information to modify a superset of beam criteria to obtain a subset of beam criteria, select a spatial region according to the subset of beam criteria, and initiate a spatial searching operation within the spatial region for establishing a communication link. Some aspects include obtaining complex channel measurements of beams and combining the measurements with priori information to determine a beam for use in a communication link. Some aspects include providing signals from Nr over K1 input/output (IO) links and receiving signals over K1 IO links, and combining signals received over the K1 IO links, using a compression matrix, to generate signals over K IO links.

Abstract: Systems and methods of beamforming and improving mmWave communications for drones are described. Multiple RF chains are used to adapt the main beam to track changes without the use of pilot signals. To reduce interference, interfering signal power is eliminated by optimizing a non-Gaussian measure to extract the interferers. The AoA of signals from a target drone on neighbouring drones and location of the neighbouring drones and base stations are used to independently corroborate the location reported by the target drone. The base station provides additional synchronization signals below 6 GHz and restricts the search/measurement space in the vertical direction. The inherent sparse structure above 6 GHz is exploited by applying different beamformers on a sounding signal and estimating the AoA and impulse response. Variations of fully digital and hybrid beamforming architectures for multi-cell DL sync and CRS measurement are described.

Abstract: A wireless communication device comprises at least one antenna array configured to receive a radio signal; a first compressor configured to determine a first compression operator based on a predetermined set of receive configurations for the antenna array, and to apply the first compression operator to the radio signal to generate a first compressed signal; a second compressor configured to apply a second compression operator to the first compressed signal to generate a second compressed signal; a channel estimator configured to determine a channel covariance of the radio signal, determine at least one eigenvector of the channel covariance to obtain a second compression operator, and provide the second compression operator to the second compressor; and a baseband processor configured to receive the second compressed signal from the second compressor and to process the second compressed signal to obtain output data.

Abstract: A receiver circuit associated with a communication device is disclosed. The receiver circuit comprises a digital data compression circuit configured to receive a plurality of digital receive signals derived from a plurality of analog receive signals respectively associated with the receiver circuit. The digital data compression circuit is further configured to compress the plurality of digital receive signals to form one or more compressed digital data signals based thereon, to be provided to an input output (I/O) interface associated therewith. In some embodiments, a compressed digital signal dimension associated with the one or more compressed digital data signals is less than a digital signal dimension associated with the plurality of digital receive signals.
