    Abstract: A base station for a wireless communication network comprising a plurality of logical radio access networks, wherein the base station is configured to communicate with a plurality of users to be served by the base station for accessing one or more of the logical radio access networks, and the base station is configured to selectively control the physical resources of the wireless communication network assigned to the logical radio access networks and/or to control access of the users or user groups to one or more of the logical radio access networks, wherein, during a first operation mode of the wireless communication network, the base station is configured to allow access of users or user groups of one or more of the logical radio access networks (e.g., eMBB, URLLC, eMTC), and wherein, during a second operation mode of the wireless communication network, the base station is configured to adaptively limit access of users or user groups to one or more of the logical radio access networks, and/or adaptively reduce a number of enabled logical radio access networks.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes an antenna array having a plurality of antennas. The antenna array is configured to receive a multi-carrier signal from a multi-antenna transmitter over a radio channel. The multi-carrier signal has at least two subcarriers, and each subcarrier is mapped at the transmitter to a respective subcarrier-beamformer. The respective subcarrier-beamformers has non-identical null and beam cone directions. A processor is configured to identify a communication direction for a radio signal communication between the apparatus and the transmitter. The communication direction is identified based on one or more specular path components of the radio channel which are related to a null or to a maximum of a subcarrier-beamformer.
