Abstract:
A method for operating an access node for transmission of radio signals in a plurality of beams of a beam sweep, includes: transmitting a first radio signal using a first polarization in a first beam having a first beam direction, and transmitting a second radio signal using a second polarization, which is different from the first polarization, in a second beam in said first beam direction, wherein the transmission of the first radio signal is linked to the transmission of the second radio signal in accordance with a predetermined rule. By means of such a link, a communication device may determine, based on the predetermined rule, that the first and second beams have a common directionality, but are configured for transmission with different, preferably orthogonal, polarization.
Abstract:
A method includes communicating, between a first device and a second device, a scheduling control message indicative of first time-frequency resources for a first uplink reference signal transmission from the second device to the first device and further indicative of second time-frequency resources for a second uplink reference signal transmission from the second device to the first device. Wherein the first uplink reference signal transmission is associated with a receive beam having a first opening angle. Wherein the second uplink reference signal transmission is associated with a receive beam having a second opening angle. The first opening angle is smaller than the second opening angle. Furthermore the first uplink reference signal transmission is beam swept at the first device, and the second uplink reference signal transmission is not beam swept at the first device.
Abstract:
A method for beam sweeping in a wireless communication system is described. Beam sweeping includes performing a reduced beam sweep corresponding to a reduced set of beams that are a subset of a full set of beams available for transmitting and/or receiving from an antenna module, without sweeping beams that are not members of the reduced set of beams. The method includes selecting a beam out of the reduced set of beams for transmitting and/or receiving from the antenna module based on the reduced beam sweep without sweeping beams that are not members of the reduced set of beams. Related devices are disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to activating a guidance light for a mobile device. The guidance light is located proximate to connector, such that activation of the guidance light serves to help a user guide a charging wire into the connector, especially during less than ideal lighting conditions. Specific embodiments of the invention provide for determining, at the mobile occurrence of a trigger and, in response to determining the trigger event activating the guidance light.
Abstract:
A method for performing a listen-before-talk procedure in a first transceiver device (N1) for wireless electromagnetic communication in a frequency band (150) is disclosed. A first transceiver device (N1) configured to perform the method is also disclosed. The method comprises receiving at the first transceiver device (N1) a stream of data (11) from a second transceiver device (N2), and determining whether the second transceiver device (N2) is capable of receiving in only a single or in two polarization directions. If the second transceiver device (N2) is capable of receiving in two polarization directions, then the method comprises determining and using an energy threshold that is larger than a regulated energy threshold for listen-before-talk within the frequency band (150). If the second transceiver device (N2) is capable of receiving in only a single polarization direction or if the energy of the received stream of data (11) is smaller than the energy threshold, then constructing a signal to be transmitted within the frequency band (150) by the first transceiver device (N1).
Abstract:
A method includes receiving (402) a plurality of reference signals (301-303) at an antenna port of a communication device (101). Each reference signal (301-303) is sent using a corresponding precoder. The precoder is selected from a first set of precoders. The method further includes determining (403) a channel estimate based on the received plurality of reference signals (301-303), and selecting (404) a precoder from a second set of precoders based on the determined channel estimate. The second set of precoders comprises at least one precoder in addition to the precoders of the first set of precoders. The method includes sending (405) an indication (304) relating to the selected precoder.

The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for scanning frequency bands at a device in order to find a network. An exemplary method comprises substantially simultaneously scanning a first frequency band using a first receive chain in the device and a second frequency band using a second receive chain in the device; determining, based on priority information accessed by the device, whether a first network found on the first frequency band has priority over a second network found on the second frequency band; and determining whether to connect the device to the first network or the second network based on determining whether the first network has priority over the second network.
