This application proposes multi-beam antenna systems using spherical lens are proposed, with high isolation between antenna ports and compatible to 2×2, 4×4, 8×8 MIMO transceivers. Several compact multi-band multi-beam solutions (with wideband operation, 40%+, in each band) are achieved by creating dual-band radiators movable on the track around spherical lens and by placing of lower band radiators between spherical lenses. By using of secondary lens for high band radiators, coupling between low band and high band radiators is reduced. Beam tilt range and side lobe suppression are improved by special selection of phase shift and rotational angle of radiators. Resultantly, a wide beam tilt range (0-40 degree) is realized in proposed multi-beam antenna systems. Each beam can be individually tilted. Based on proposed single- and multi-lens antenna solutions, cell coverage improvements and stadium tribune coverage optimization are also achieved, together with interference reduction.

Rather than using a large number of transceivers (transmitter/receiver pairs) operating in parallel, Access Points with multiple channels are used to aggregate, or stack, transmitted response communications, e.g., transmitting multiple acknowledgements (ACKs) in a single packet to one or more sources of received packets. The method includes sending on a plurality of channels, by each of a plurality of respective first nodes, a communication to a second node, receiving on the plurality of channels, by the second node, the communication from each of the plurality of first nodes and sending, by the second node, a transmission that contains a response to each communication that was successfully received from each of the plurality of first nodes. The response to each of the plurality of first nodes is part of a single message sent by the second node.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a channel-state information process processing method, a network device, and a user equipment, where the channel-state information process processing method includes: after receiving a first channel-state information CSI request sent by a first network device, if CSI corresponding to multiple aperiodic CSI processes has not been reported by a user equipment, dropping CSI corresponding to a part of aperiodic CSI processes among the multiple aperiodic CSI processes, where each CSI process is associated with a channel measurement resource and an interference measurement resource.

According to the foregoing solution, time reference information of a non-time reference cell is configured at a higher layer, and is sent to a user equipment, so that the user equipment obtains a high speed dedicated physical control channel (HS-DPCCH) timing by using the time reference information, so that the UE can obtain correct timing relationships between the HS-DPCCH in the non-time reference cell and an uplink DPCH, and between the HS-DPCCH and an HS-PDSCH.
