    Abstract: The present application relates to a method for operating a cellular multiple input and multiple output system comprising a first device (20) having at least two antenna arrays (22, 23) and second device having at least two antennas (32, 33). According to the method, a same uplink pilot signal is broadcasted from each antenna (32, 33) of the second device (30) and the same uplink pilot signal is received at each antenna array (22, 23) of the first device (20). At the first device (20), first device transmission parameters are determined for each antenna array (22, 23) depending on the received same uplink pilot signal. Downlink pilot signals are sent via antenna array (22, 23) using the determined first device transmission parameters and the downlink pilot signals are received at each antenna (32, 33) of the second device (30). This second device determines second device receiving parameters for each antenna (32, 33) depending on the received downlink pilot signals.

    Abstract: Pulse signal transmission, such as radar pulses or the like are used in a high frequency mobile communication network as a means for determining or assisting in determining the likely presence of User Equipment (UE) and/or tracking UE in a predetermined area. As a result of determining the likely presence of UE and/or tracking UE, such information may be used to expedite either a handover or establish re-connection within the communication network. In this regard, more targeted beam sweeps or more frequent sweeps can be made in the direction where the UE has been determined to likely be present in order to hasten the establishment of the communication link between the targeted transmission point, such as a Base Station (BS) or the like, or reconnection to the existing transmission point.

    Abstract: A method for adjusting an antenna configuration of the terminal device (30) in a cellular communication system (10). The system (10) includes a base station (20) and a terminal device (30) having a plurality of antenna elements (40-43). In the terminal device (30) a plurality of preset antenna configurations is provided. Each antenna configuration defines at least one reception parameter for the plurality of antenna elements (40-43). For each antenna configuration of the plurality of preset antenna configurations the antenna configuration is applied to the plurality of antenna elements (40-43) and a reception characteristic of a signal transmission from the base station (20) is determined. Based on the plurality of reception characteristics one antenna configuration is selected and applied to the plurality of antenna elements (40-43) for further signal transmissions.

    Abstract: A radio communication device applies a beamforming pattern defining plurality of beams (411, 412, 413, 414, 415, 416, 417). From the plurality of beams (411, 412, 413, 414, 415, 416, 417), the radio communication device selects at least one main beam (412) and a set of auxiliary beams (411, 413). Exclusively on the at least one main beam (412), the radio communication device sends radio transmissions to a further radio communication device (420). Further, the radio communication device monitors signals transmitted by the further communication device (420) on the at least one main beam (412) and the set of auxiliary beams (411, 413). Depending on the monitored signals, the communication device reselects at least one beam from the set of auxiliary beams as the at least one main beam.
