摘要: The present invention provides a design method of a high energy efficiency Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) communication system assisted by an intelligent reflecting surface, and belongs to the technical field of UAV communication network energy efficiency optimization. A communication process comprises two transmission links, one link is directly sent from an information source to an information sink, and the other link is reflected and transmitted by an intelligent reflecting surface attached to a UAV. The two links exist simultaneously. Based on an idea of block iteration, an original problem is decomposed into three sub-problems, and a non-convex optimization problem is transformed into solvable concave-convex fractional program problems by a continuous convex approximation technique. The present invention provides a design method for joint optimization of a passive beamforming of the intelligent reflecting surface, an active beamforming of a base station and a flight trajectory of the UAV.

摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described herein provide for passive beamforming for Wi-Fi. A first wireless device communicating in an active session via a first bandwidth with a second wireless device may use a passive beamforming technique to identify a transmission sector of the second wireless device and/or a receive sector for communications on a second bandwidth, while the first wireless device is in an inactive session state for the second bandwidth. The second wireless device may transmit beacons in the second bandwidth via directional transmission sectors while the first wireless device is in the inactive session state for the second bandwidth. The first wireless device may receive the beacons and may select a transmission sector based on the beacons. The first wireless device may indicate the selected transmission sector to the second wireless device. The first wireless device may select a receive sector based on the beacons.

摘要: A communication system may include a base station (BS), user equipment (UE), and a set of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS's). The RIS's, the UE, and the BS may communicate using a control RAT and a data RAT. The BS may transmit downlink (DL) signals to the UE device via reflection off a DL RIS. The UE device may transmit uplink (UL) signals to the BS via reflection off a UL RIS. This may optimize wireless performance in situations where reflecting the UL and DL signals off the same RIS would limit performance under the current data RAT channel conditions. The BS and the UE device may use channel measurements of the control RAT at the RIS's to select the UL RIS and the DL RIS. This may significantly reduce overhead required to identify the UL and DL RIS's relative to scenarios where exhaustive beam training is used.

摘要: In an aspect, a primary node receives a first request, originating from a network node, to report measurements collected for communication with the network node within an area. The primary node also receives the measurements from multiple UEs in the area. The primary node further reports measurement information collected from the multiple UEs within the area.

摘要: A wireless access point (AP) may communicate with a user equipment (UE) device via reflection off a reflective device having an array of fixed or adjustable reflectors in different orientations. The AP may illuminate different portions of an area by pointing a signal beam to different reflectors and/or by controlling the reflective device to electrically rotate the reflectors. The AP may calibrate the position of the reflective device and may establish wireless communications with the UE device by performing a sweep of signal beams over the reflectors and/or by controlling the reflective device to sweep over different reflector orientations. The AP may track movement of the UE device over time. The AP may sweep the AP beam over a subset of the reflectors around an active reflector to maintain communications with the UE device even as the UE device moves over time.
