    Abstract: Where receiver performance at a User Equipment (UE) is similar using a coarse precoder codebook as using a fine resolution precoder codebook, the signaling of a two-component precoder codebook is modified such that a precoder codeword is signaled to the UE in only a portion of the physical resources allocated for precoder codeword signaling to the UE. The remaining portion of the allocated physical resources is used to signal control information to improve the UE's performance.

    Abstract: In wireless operating environments, wireless user devices are often within the coverage area of multiple base stations. The base station providing the best uplink for the user device may be different than the base station providing the best downlink for the user device. Systems and techniques for asymmetric uplink and downlink communications for a user device are provided. In embodiments, the user device initially synchronizes with a base station. Both the uplink and downlink are initially served by this base station. A determination is then made whether to handoff the downlink for the user device to another base station. When a determination is indicated, the downlink is handed off to the second base station. Thereafter, periodic measurements are made. The determinations whether to handoff the uplink and downlink for the user device are made independently.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for encrypting a data transmission from a base station at the physical layer, such that the data transmission can only be decoded successfully by an intended UE. In an embodiment, a desired signal component, including a data signal for an intended UE, is combined with an interference component to generate a signal for transmission. The interference component is designed such that it falls in a null space of the channel from the base station to the intended UE and is therefore not received by the intended UE. In contrast, for an unintended UE, the interference component is designed to interfere with the desired signal component at the unintended UE, preventing the unintended UE from successfully decoding the data transmission.

    Abstract: A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna system is implemented for communications in a wireless device. Information regarding the environment surrounding the wireless device may be used to determine which of the MIMO antennas are selected such that communications performance is improved. Metrics related to signal transmission and reception by the wireless device may be monitored and used to determine which MIMO antennas are selected. The metrics may be measured by any of the MIMO antennas at any time, including antennas currently engaged or not engaged in active communications. The metrics may be used in lieu of sensors to supplement or replace wireless device functionality otherwise provided by the sensors.

    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: Embodiments recognize that in MIMO and M-MIMO systems, physical antennas tend to be closely spaced to each other (e.g., a grid). As a result, a spatial correlation typically exists between physical antennas as well as between transmissions from logical antenna ports. Embodiments exploit this characteristic to reduce the amount of pilot signaling needed to enable downlink channel estimation. Specifically, embodiments limit pilot signaling to only a subset of supported logical antenna ports and rely on spatial correlation information to interpolate channels from logic antenna ports for which no pilot signaling is used.
