Abstract: A method comprises: determining, from an indication that an initial uplink beam between a user equipment and a network node is misaligned with respect to a downlink beam between the network node and the user equipment, at least one misalignment angle between the initial uplink beam and the downlink beam; and reconfiguring the uplink beam based on the misalignment angle to produce a reconfigured uplink beam.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for GIS-NR beamforming for mmWave. For example, certain embodiments may provide for beam realignment, through which a serving network node may be able to re-position its beam towards a UE without the UE explicitly measuring and signalling to the network node the need for realignment. Instead of performing the traditional UE-based exhaustive beam search, the serving network node may proactively switch the beam in an attempt to track the UE movements. The serving network node may do this by corroborating information from two types of sources: 1) a set of neighbor mobile or fixed network nodes and 2) a geographic information system (GIS).

Abstract: Improved techniques of UE local and network assisted compensation of the UE PCO impact on positioning reference signal include performing compensation of positioning measurement error by transmitting a reference signal to a proximate reference device. In some implementations, the reference signal is a wideband reference signal, and the compensation is over a wide band of frequencies. In some implementations, the positioning measurement error includes a PCO in-band variation (IBV). In such an implementation, the UE may associate a respective compensation over the wide band of frequencies with an antenna panel and/or an angle with respect to the proximate reference device (RD).

Abstract: When a user equipment detects a condition that a distance between the user equipment, which has an established connection with a network entity of a communications network system, and a subject enters a pre-warning region, the user equipment enters a monitoring mode based on at least the detected condition. In the monitoring mode, options of operations to be performed by the user equipment to mitigate degradation of the established connection due to a required power backoff of an antenna of the user equipment are monitored.

Abstract: To facilitate positioning a user device, the user device is configured to measure, per an antenna array, reference signals received from transmission-reception points and to check, whether a downlink reference signal from a transmission-reception point is received in a serving antenna array and in one or more non-serving antenna arrays with a first delay. A non-serving antenna array receiving the signal with the first delay is an alternative antenna array to the serving antenna array. When the serving antenna array is under a maximum permissible exposure event, the user device is configured to select, which one of one or more alternative antenna arrays and the serving antenna panel is to be used for transmitting at least a positioning signal to the transmission-reception point.

Abstract: Aspects and embodiments relate to an apparatus and method for performing antenna panel management. There is provided an apparatus comprising: means for obtaining signal reception information related to at least one downlink signal received by a user equipment using at least one reception antenna panel of a plurality of selectively-activatable antenna panels; means for determining an indication of effective power radiatable to the network node from which the downlink signal is received, based on the signal reception information related to the at least one downlink signal received by that to antenna panel for each of the plurality of selectively-activatable antenna panels which is configurable to transmit a signal to a network node from which the downlink signal is received; means for calculating an indication of power consumption associated with the indication of effective power radiatable to the network node for each of the plurality of selectively-activatable antenna panels; and means for selecting and configuring at least one of the selectively-activatable antenna panels to be used for transmission of a signal to a network node from which the downlink signal is received in response to the calculated indication of power consumption. Aspects support appropriate power efficient operation of a communication apparatus, for example by allowing for differentiated uplink and downlink antenna panel selection, which can enable apparatus power saving, whilst minimising performance loss, or incurring no significant performance loss.
