    摘要: In an example embodiment, a system comprises a chain of serially coupled nodes, including a central processing node (CPN) and one or more radio communications nodes (RCNs). The CPN couples to a first RCN in the chain via a dielectric waveguide (DWG) link and any further RCNs in the chain are successively connected in serial fashion from the first RCN via further (DWG) links. The CPN generates outbound radio carrier signals that are waveguide-propagated in a downstream direction of the chain, for over-the-air (OTA) by targeted ones of the RCNs, while radio carrier signals received via OTA reception by respective ones of the RCNs are waveguide propagated as inbound radio signals in an upstream direction of the chain, for processing by the CPN. Advantages from the contemplated system include greatly simplified implementation of the RCNs, with lower cost and power consumption. Further, strategic placement of failover CPNs and DWG links provide for continued operation in the face of CPN or DWG link failures.

    摘要: An Antenna-in-Package, (AiP; 100) is provided, including an array antenna (120) with antenna elements (122), control ICs (130), and AiP contacting elements (140). Each antenna element is configured for transmitting radio signals having a first polarization (pi) and receiving radio signals having a second polarization (p2). The antenna elements are arranged equidistantly spaced in a rectangular, planar lattice at a first side (112) of the AiP. The AiP is rectangular, and the lattice is shifted towards a first comer (116a) of the AiP. An AiP pair assembly, an AiP quartet assembly, an AiP multi -assembly (all including two or more such AiPs), a network node, as well as a method of operating such an AiP quartet assembly or AiP multi-assembly, are also provided.

    摘要: A method for controlling a lifetime of at least one component of a base station is disclosed. The component has a component temperature, and the base station is configured to use – at each time instant – one of a plurality of operational modes. Each operational mode is associated with a respective power consumption. The method comprises – when a predicted number of component temperature changes, each having a magnitude which exceeds a first threshold value, during a time interval exceeds a second threshold value – preventing (during the time interval) the base station from operating in any operational mode having associated power consumption that is lower than a third threshold value. Corresponding apparatus, network node, base station and computer program product are also disclosed.
