    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A wireless communication device includes a wireless interface for conducting wireless communications with a network access node of a wireless network, the wireless interface having uplink and downlink beam forming capabilities. The wireless communication device further includes a control circuit configured to detect a predetermined condition and, in response to the detection, temporarily operate the wireless interface without beam correspondence between uplink and downlink operations; and transmit a message to the network access node that beam correspondence is not used by the wireless communication device.

    摘要: A half-duplex radio device (100) generates a repetitive transmission of an uplink message to a base station (150) of the cellular network. The radio device (100) splits the repetitive transmission of the uplink message into a sequence of multiple transmit periods and configures at least one measurement gap between the transmit periods. In the transmit periods, the radio device (100) sends the repetitive transmission to the base station. In the at least one measurement gap configured between the transmit periods, the radio device (100) temporarily switches to receiving at least one downlink signal from the base station (150). Based on the received at least one downlink signal, the radio device (100) estimates a frequency error of a reference frequency source of the radio device (100).

    摘要: The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for discontinuous signaling in a mobile communication network. User equipment (UE)/mobile terminal requests slotted transmissions and, in response to the network authorizing slotted transmissions, communication of subsequent UE transmissions are slotted, such that a minimum time period is required to elapse between each UE transmission. In specific embodiments of the invention the minimum time period is a predetermined time period known in advance to the user equipment and network. In other embodiments of the invention the user equipment slotted transmission requests includes a requested minimum time period, which may be approved or revised by the network. In still further embodiments the network, upon receiving the request for slotted transmissions, determines the minimum time period.

    摘要: A user-device implemented method includes encoding a first digital signal to generate a first digital baseband signal and modulate the first digital baseband signal to generate one or more RF signals corresponding to one or more frequency bands. The one or more RF signals are transmitted via one or more antennas. Substantially simultaneously with the transmission of the one or more RF signals, a second one or more RF signals is received via the one or more antennas. The second one or more RF signals are demodulated to generate a second digital baseband signal. The first digital baseband signal is subtracted from the second digital baseband signal to generate a modified second digital baseband signal.
