    Abstract: Antenna systems and methods for Massive Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO) (M-MIMO) communication are provided. Antennas systems include a M-MIMO transmitter architecture with a hybrid matrix structure. The hybrid matrix structure protects against transmit path component failures and ensures that a spatial rate of the MIMO transmitter is not degraded by the failures. Antenna systems and methods also include antenna selection schemes for selecting a subset of antennas from a plurality of antennas to transmit to a receiver.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for transitioning small cell base stations out of a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode. The system and method comprise monitoring at the small cell base stations uplink transmissions from user terminals (UTs) to a macrocell base station while the small cell base stations are in the DTX mode. The small cell base stations can use the monitored uplink transmissions to, for example, measure received power levels from the UTs and/or measure uplink path losses between the small cell base stations and the UTs. The small cell base stations can report these measured values back to the macrocell base station through a backhaul network. Based on these measurements, the macrocell base station can determine which small cell base stations can support which UTs without transitioning the small cell base stations out of the DTX mode.

    Abstract: As wireless networks evolve, network providers may utilize legacy LTE devices as well as devices that support massive multi-input, multiple output (M-MIMO). Systems and methods for simultaneously servicing legacy LTE devices and M-MIMO devices are provided. In embodiments, a transmission zone for M-MIMO communications is defined within a legacy, non M-MIMO radio frame. The location of the M-MIMO transmission zone is transmitted to user devices. For example, an identification of the location of the M-MIMO transmission zone is transmitted in a system information message. In a further example, the location of the M-MIMO transmission zone is transmitted in the downlink control information. The location of the M-MIMO transmission zone may be defined dynamically based on a variety of criteria. In addition or alternatively, a set of pre-defined transmission zones may be utilized.

    Abstract: A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna system is implemented for communications in a wireless device. MIMO beamforming techniques are utilized to improve communications, and may be utilized in full-duplex mode. Techniques include the formation of beamforming patterns having orthogonal polarizations to one another at each communication device, but having matching polarization between transmit/receive pairs located at each respective communication device. Techniques also include the formation of beamforming patterns in a direction towards another communication device to maximize transmit power in that direction while inducing nulls in the beamforming pattern to reduce self-interference coupling via antennas configured for reception. Full-duplex communications are improved through monitoring of the self-interference coupling and adapting the beamforming patterns to reduce it. Beamforming vectors may be generated by solving a cost function that may include an additional constraint of reduction of self-interference coupling.
