Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for cross connection detection and mitigation in wireless power transfer networks are disclosed. An example method includes receiving communication data from the second PTU, the communication data being generated by the PRU, wherein the first PTU and the second PTU are capable of providing wireless power to power receiving units; determining that the communication data is intended for the first PTU based on the connected device mapping; and transmitting the communication data to the first PTU.
Abstract:
Wireless link management techniques for wireless charging systems are described. According to some such techniques, a power receiving unit (PRU) may be configured to observe a rectifier voltage while operating in a charge complete connected (CCC) mode according to which it possesses a wireless connection with a power transmitting unit (PTU) operating in a power save state. In various embodiments, the PRU may be configured to observe the rectifier voltage in an attempt to detect power beacons generated by the PTU. In some embodiments, the PRU may be configured to maintain the wireless connection if it detects power beacons, and to terminate the wireless connection if it does not detect any beacons. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Examples are disclosed for sending or receiving channel state information (CSI) reports associated with coordinated multi-point (CoMP) schemes. The examples include user equipment (UE) constraining CSI feedback to one or more transmission points implementing a CoMP scheme with the UE. The examples also include a transmission point such as an evolved node B (eNB) triggering CSI feedback and receiving a CSI report in response to the trigger. The CSI report generated based on the UE constraining CSI feedback. Constraining CSI feedback may include the UE generating fewer CSI reports, reusing information between CSI reports or increasing an amount of time allowed for processing and generating CSI reports. Other examples are described and claimed.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus related to near field communication (NFC) detection. A device may determine a first device in proximity to a charging area of the device. The device may detect a presence of a first NFC device in proximity to the charging area of the device. The device may determine the first NFC device is associated with the first device. The device may determine to transition the device to one or more operating modes based at least in part on the presence of the first NFC device.
Abstract:
A technology that is operable to schedule data transfer for a multiple user multiple-input and multiple-output (MU-MIMO) communications network is disclosed. In one embodiment, an enhanced node B (eNode B) is configured with circuitry configured to receive a sounding signal from each of a plurality of user equipment (UEs). One or more major paths of the sounding signals from each of the plurality of UEs are determined. An angle of arrival (AoA) is determined that is associated with each of the one or more major paths. The plurality of UEs are grouped into one or more candidate MU-MIMO sets using the AoAs associated with each of the one or more major paths. Data transmissions are scheduled for one or more of the candidate UEs of the candidate MU-MIMO set on one or more of the major paths of each of the candidate UEs.

Abstract:
Examples are disclosed for beamforming to mitigate multi-user leakage and interference. The examples include an evolved node B (eNB) receiving feedback from user equipment (UEs) to indicate strongest or highest channel gains for various beams included in a plurality of beam sets. A selection process or scheme may then be implemented to select individual beams for a UE that minimizes or reduces leakage caused by the UE's use of a given beam. Reducing leakage may reduce interference to other UEs using other beams. Other examples are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Wireless-device-to-wireless device (WD-WD) interference in a full-duplex wireless network is managed by an uplink transmit power control technique that minimizes interference experienced in downlink signals at other wireless devices in the wireless network. In one exemplary embodiment, an instantaneous antenna gain of the wireless device and a target uplink Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) of an uplink signal of the wireless device to the home base station are determined at the wireless device. A Noise plus Interference level at the home base station is received by either a closed-loop or an open-loop feedback technique. The uplink power level for an uplink signal of the wireless device is determined based on the determined antenna gain, the determined target uplink SINR and the received Noise plus Interference level at the home base station.
