    Abstract: A battery-powered wireless communication device has internal antennas. In the wireless communication device, transceiver circuitry wirelessly receives external antenna data that indicates on/off status, reserve battery power, and geometric earth-orientation for the individual antennas in a different wireless communication device. Baseband circuitry determines internal antenna data that indicates the on/off status, reserve battery power, and geometric earth-orientation for the internal antennas. The baseband circuitry executes a user application that generates and consumes user data. The baseband circuitry selects a set of the internal antennas to serve the user application based on the internal antenna data and the external antenna data. The transceiver circuitry wirelessly exchanges the user data over the selected set of the internal antennas.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving uplink coverage in a wireless communication network. A first correlated array and a second correlate array each comprise a plurality of antenna elements. Each correlated array has an inter-element spacing of one wavelength of a signal for which the array is configured to receive. The first and second correlated arrays are interleaved such that one-half of a wavelength of a signal for which at least one of the correlated arrays is configured to receive separates adjacent elements of the first and second correlated arrays. Signals received by each correlated array are combined using statistical signal processing techniques to create combined signals that may be provided to the wireless communication network. Combining uplink signals from at least two interleaved uncorrelated arrays may increase the effective spacing of each array without sacrificing base station space or throughput.

    Abstract: Wireless communication devices have antennas, and the antennas have earth-orientations. The wireless devices exchange network signaling with a wireless access node over the antennas. Some of network signaling indicates Device-to-Device (D2D) communication times and frequencies. The wireless communication devices exchange device signaling with each other over the antennas using the D2D communication times and frequencies. Some of the device signaling indicates the earth orientations for the antennas. The wireless communication devices select a subset of the antennas based on the earth orientations. The wireless communication devices exchange user data with each other over the selected subset of antennas using the D2D communication times and frequencies.
