    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: An apparatus and a method for detecting data transmitted over a wireless channel are disclosed. For example, for each receive antenna of a plurality of receive antennas, the method converts, by an ADC, an analog signal received by the receive antenna to a respective digital signal, and for each receive antenna of the plurality of receive antennas, the method channel transforms, by a channel transformer, the digital signal to determine a respective equivalent integer representation of the digital signal, and the method detects data by receive combining, by a receive combiner, the respective equivalent integer representations of the digital signals determined for the plurality of receive antennas.

    Abstract: A method for a communication device with at least one antenna array composed of a plurality of antenna elements, each of the plurality of antenna elements coupled to a corresponding phase shifter of a plurality of phase shifters. The method includes determining an optimized beam forming weight for each of the plurality of phase shifters by maximizing an array gain of the antenna array for each steering angle of a plurality of pre-defined steering angles to generate a set of optimized beam forming weights for each steering angle; and configuring the plurality of phase shifters with the set of optimized beam forming weights for a selected steering angle to perform beam forming in direction of the selected steering angle.
