Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for increasing uplink beamforming gain. In one aspect there is provided a method of identifying user equipment which makes use of the proposed new beam-sweeping random access channel procedure that enables the base station to identify the best uplink transmit beam rather than the first beam that the base station managed to detect. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from selectively monitoring alternative links. In certain example embodiments, an apparatus may comprise at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to determine that at least one obstacle has entered at least one predefined region and transmit to at least one network entity at least one indication comprising at least one predicted-power back off (P-PBO) value. The at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to generate at least one predictive-PBO report (P-PBOR) and transmit the at least one P-PBOR to the at least one network entity.

Abstract: A method may include determining an uplink loss metric for an uplink communication path from a user equipment to a base station in a wireless network based at least on an uplink transmit beam for the user equipment and an uplink receive beam for the base station; determining a downlink loss metric for the downlink communication path from the base station to the user equipment based at least on a downlink transmit beam for the base station and a downlink receive beam for the user equipment; and determining, based on the uplink loss metric and the downlink loss metric, an uplink/downlink beam correspondence misalignment for the user equipment that indicates that the uplink transmit beam for the user equipment is misaligned with the downlink receive beam for the user equipment. For example, see FIGS. 5-6.

Abstract: The disclosure presents a method and system for enabling the monitoring of more than one propagation link (PL) between two transceivers, such as a fifth-generation (5G) broadband cellular base station (gNB) and user equipment (UE). The PL can represent a radiation pattern emitted by a MIMO antenna port. The monitoring can capture and record PL quality parameters and associate them to a PL index (PLI). The process can periodically cycle through the set of available PLs and select a best fit PLI configuration. The best fit PLI can be one that satisfies a link quality threshold and PL efficiency thresholds. The selected PLI can be communicated to both transceivers using parameter containers added to conventional control signals. Data messages communicated between the transceivers can utilize the selected best fit PLI configuration.

Abstract: A method may include determining, by a user equipment, a beam alignment reference value and a beam alignment test value; and determining, by the user equipment, based on the beam alignment reference value and the beam alignment test value, that a user equipment receive beam used by the user equipment is not aligned with a transmit beam of the base station.
