Abstract:
A method for performing wireless data communication is disclosed, which uses a first device and a second device, and which comprises the steps of a) transmitting an outgoing radar signal by the first device, b) determining, by the first device, a receive property of an incoming radar signal which is associated with the outgoing radar signal, and c) setting at least one parameter for performing the wireless data communication by the first device based on the receive property of the incoming radar signal.
Abstract:
A method for beam sweeping in a wireless communication system is described. Beam sweeping includes performing a reduced beam sweep corresponding to a reduced set of beams that are a subset of a full set of beams available for transmitting and/or receiving from an antenna module, without sweeping beams that are not members of the reduced set of beams. The method includes selecting a beam out of the reduced set of beams for transmitting and/or receiving from the antenna module based on the reduced beam sweep without sweeping beams that are not members of the reduced set of beams. Related devices are disclosed.

Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
An antenna switching method includes tuning respective signals provided to first and second antennas in a portable electronic device to at least one frequency band. The method may also include connecting the first antenna to an uplink signal path that is for transmissions through the first and second antennas, and performing impedance matching for the first antenna. The method may further include comparing a real-time performance characteristic of the first antenna with a real-time performance characteristic of the second antenna. The method may additionally include, responsive to determining that the second antenna has a stronger real-time performance characteristic than the first antenna while the first antenna is connected to the uplink signal path, switching from the first antenna to the second antenna by connecting the second antenna to the uplink signal path and disconnecting the first antenna from the uplink signal path, and performing impedance matching for the second antenna.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving (402) a plurality of reference signals (301-303) at an antenna port of a communication device (101). Each reference signal (301-303) is sent using a corresponding precoder. The precoder is selected from a first set of precoders. The method further includes determining (403) a channel estimate based on the received plurality of reference signals (301-303), and selecting (404) a precoder from a second set of precoders based on the determined channel estimate. The second set of precoders comprises at least one precoder in addition to the precoders of the first set of precoders. The method includes sending (405) an indication (304) relating to the selected precoder.
