A method for wireless communication in a reflective environment includes (a) receiving first wireless signals at a first antenna assembly at least partially via a first reflective environment, (b) generating a first electrical signal from a first antenna element of the first antenna assembly in response to the first wireless signals, the first antenna element having a first polarization, (c) generating a second electrical signal from a second antenna element of the first antenna assembly in response to the first wireless signals, the second antenna element having a second polarization different from the first polarization, (d) shifting phase of at least one of the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal, and (e) after shifting phase, combining at least the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal to generate a combined electrical signal.

A multiple-access transceiver handles communications with mobile stations in environments that exceed mobile station design assumptions without necessarily requiring modifications to the mobile stations. One such environment is in Earth orbit. The multiple-access transceiver is adapted to close communications with mobile stations while exceeding mobile station design assumptions, such as greater distance, greater relative motion and/or other conditions commonly found where functionality of a terrestrial transceiver is to be performed by an orbital transceiver. The orbital transceiver might include a data parser that parses a frame data structure, a signal timing module that adjusts timing based on orbit to terrestrial propagation delays, frequency shifters and a programmable radio capable of communicating from the Earth orbit that uses a multiple-access protocol such that the communication is compatible with, or appears to the terrestrial mobile station to be, communication between a terrestrial cellular base station and the terrestrial mobile station.

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for supporting high-speed mobility in a communication. A method of a terminal may comprise: estimating a first frequency offset based on a downlink transmission received from a base station; estimating first time-varying characteristic information based on the downlink transmission; and transmitting, to the base station, a first uplink transmission including time-varying characteristic feedback information based on the first time-varying characteristic information and a configured time-varying characteristic information feedback condition.

A first cellular base station transmits a configuration message to a reporting device installed on a high-speed vehicle. The configuration message specifies one or more parameters of a Doppler measurement report. The reporting device performs one or more first Doppler measurements on the first base station and/or one or more second Doppler measurements on a second base station. The reporting device transmits the Doppler measurement report to the first and/or second base stations. The Doppler measurement report may be used by the first and/or second base stations to perform Doppler pre-compensation on transmissions to the reporting device.

A wireless communication system includes: a transmission apparatus that transmits a wireless signal including a plurality of wireless transmission signals, by using a plurality of transmitting antenna elements; and a reception apparatus that receives the wireless signal, as a plurality of wireless reception signals, by using a plurality of receiving antenna elements. The reception apparatus generates a plurality of separated reception signals by performing a signal separation process on the plurality of wireless reception signals, generates correlation information about the separated reception signals, and generates phase control information on the basis of the correlation information. The transmission apparatus generates the plurality of synthesized transmission signals by performing the signal synthesis process on the plurality of transmission signals, and adjusts the phase of each of the synthesized transmission signals, by a phase shift amount calculated on the basis of the phase control information.
