    摘要: A technique for determining channel coefficients for a first array of antennas coupled through respective first phase shifters to a first radio chain and a second array of antennas coupled through respective second phase shifters to a second radio chain is described. As to a method aspect of the technique, pairs of first and second phase vectors are applied to the first and second phase shifters, respectively. Each of the pairs defines complementary directional gains at the first and second arrays for receiving reference signals. A channel estimation is performed in each of the first and second radio chains for each of the pairs based on the received reference signals. Based on the channel estimations for each of the pairs, at least one channel coefficient for the antennas in each of the first and second arrays is determined.

    摘要: In aspects of downlink-only fifth generation new radio, a mobile communication device includes a radio frequency transceiver, a radio frequency receiver, and a processor and memory system to implement a radio control manager application that establishes an LTE anchor link with a base station using the LTE transceiver, establishes a 5G NR downlink from the base station to the mobile communication device using the radio frequency receiver, and manages the 5G NR downlink via an uplink of the LTE anchor link. In another aspect, a mobile communication device estimates channel conditions for a 5G NR downlink, selects a precoding matrix to beamform the 5G NR downlink, and provides an indication of the selected precoding matrix via the LTE anchor link.
