Abstract: Disclosed is a method comprising using a machine learning algorithm to select an antenna panel from a plurality of antenna panels. A first long-term reward value associated with the selected antenna panel is determined based at least partly on one or more first signals received on the selected antenna panel. A second signal is then transmitted or received via the selected antenna panel, if the first long-term reward value exceeds one or more second long-term reward values associated with at least a subset of the plurality of antenna panels.

Abstract: The present invention introduces a method and a system for base station cross-channel measurement control and configuration. A centralized unit (CU) (301, 601) of a base station configures (304, 305) at least two distributed units (DU) (302, 303, 602, 604) with DU sounding signaling transmission objects and DU cross-link measurement objects. The first DU (302) transmits (306) a sounding signal through an air interface (308) which the second DU (303) measures (307). The second DU (303) reports (309) this to the CU (301). Then the second DU (303) transmits (311) a sounding signal through an air interface (312) which the first DU (302) measures (310). The first DU (302) reports (313) this to the CU (301). Beam-forming can be applied as well. Also neighboring operators can be found by inter-frequency measurements of the sounding signals or Synchronization Signals. The CU (301, 601) can control the DUs (302, 303, 602, 604) with appropriate TDD switching patterns based on the found cross-link interference levels.

Abstract: A technique may include determining, by the ultra low latency user device, a decoder matrix; receiving, by the ultra low latency user device, control information indicating that a scheduled transmission of an ultra low latency data block to the ultra low latency user device is co-scheduled with a transmission of a mobile broadband data block to a mobile broadband user device via a set of shared physical resource blocks using multi-user multiple-input, multiple-output (MU-MIMO); and projecting, by the ultra low latency user device, the decoder matrix of the ultra low latency user device to be substantially orthogonal with a reference spatial subspace in which a precoder matrix for the mobile broadband user device is aligned with the reference spatial subspace, to reduce interference at the ultra low latency user device caused by the transmission of the enhanced mobile broadband data block, when receiving the ultra low latency data block.

Abstract: Slave units of a mobile communication system each determine (S907), out of a predefined sliding codebook of Q unique radio frame configurations, a radio frame configuration for communicating with user equipments, and transmit (S907), to a master unit of a cluster which the slave units belong to, a request to use the determined radio frame configuration. The predefined sliding codebook comprises sub-codebooks each grouping together radio frame configurations of the Q unique radio frame configurations, that share the same downlink-to-uplink subframe ratio but with a phase offset of the radio frame configurations. The master unit identifies (S909) a common sub-codebook out of the sub-codebooks of the predefined sliding codebook, that comprises most of the determined radio frame configurations indicated in the requests received from the slave units, and, for each of the determined radio frame configurations, selects (S911, S915, S917, S921) a radio frame configuration out of the Q unique radio frame configurations, that corresponds to a sub-codebook of the determined radio frame configuration and minimizes an average misalignment with a radio frame configuration of the common sub-codebook.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved reduction of cross link interference. For example, certain embodiments may benefit from cross link interference suppression. A method, in certain embodiments, may include receiving, by a first network entity, at least one downlink precoder map from a second network entity over at least one interface. The method may also include estimating, by the first network entity, at least one basis of at least one common spatial sub-space associated with at least one, or all, identified BS-BS CLI source. In addition, the method may include for each reception associated with the first network entity, spatially projecting, by the first network entity, at least one interference rejection combining estimated interference covariance matrix into at least one orthogonal projector sub-space.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a mobile broadband user device, a control information including at least: a precoder projection angle that was used by the base station to project an original precoder matrix by the precoder projection angle; and information indicating that a scheduled transmission of a mobile broadband data block to the mobile broadband user device is co-scheduled with a transmission of an ultra low latency data block to an ultra low latency user device via a set of shared physical resource blocks using multi-user multiple-input, multiple-output (MU-MIMO); determining, by the mobile broadband user device, an updated decoder matrix for the mobile broadband user device based at least on the precoder projection angle; and decoding, by the mobile broadband user device based on the updated decoder matrix, the co-scheduled mobile broadband data block that was transmitted by the base station based on the projected precoder matrix.
