Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) to receive a message including transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states information associated with beam information for uplink or downlink resources. The UE may identify multiple channels or reference signals, or both, to which a TCI state is to be applied based on associated indications included with the TCI state information. In some examples, the TCI state information may also include indications of source reference signals for quasi co-location (QCL) assumptions for the indicated channels or reference signals. Based on applying the TCI state, the UE may determine beam information for uplink or downlink resources and may communicate with the base station accordingly.

A ground station processes downlink signals received from respective satellites. The ground station has a plurality of signal conditioning devices each receiving a respective one of the downlink signals and providing a conditioned downlink signal. A plurality of Doppler and/or Delay compensator devices each receive a respective conditioned downlink signal from a respective one of the plurality of signal conditioning devices. The compensator devices conduct Doppler and/or Delay compensation on the received conditioned downlink signal, and provide a compensated downlink signal output. A selector or diversity combiner receives the compensated downlink signal from each of the plurality of Doppler and/or Delay compensators. The selector or diversity combiner selects one of the received compensated downlink signals based on received signal strength of each received compensated downlink signal to provide a selected downlink signal, or diversity combines all of the received compensated downlink signals to provide a diversity combined signal. The selector or diversity combiner provides the selected downlink signal or the diversity combined signal to an eNodeB.

A method includes determining one or more delay values and one or more phase shift values for generation of multiple desired frequency-dependent analog beams. The method also includes configuring one or more true-time delay (TTD) elements and one or more phase shifters of a transceiver based on the one or more delay values and the one or more phase shift values, the transceiver having one or more radio-frequency (RF) chains connected to multiple antennas via the one or more TTD elements and the one or more phase shifters. The method also includes operating the transceiver to generate the multiple desired frequency-dependent analog beams.

A base station for communication with a terminal station having a plurality of terminal station antennas. The base station has a plurality of directional antennas, each of the plurality of directional antennas in communication with satellites in view. The base station also has a processing device (e.g., eNodeB) to transmit each of the multiple base-station antenna signals via each of the plurality of directional antennas to satellites and/or the beams of the same satellite seen by the terminal station for retransmission to the plurality of terminal station antennas.

A device location sensing method obtains locations of N devices in a wireless network based on channel state information (CSI). Each device in the wireless network has M antennas arranged in a non-linear manner. To determine the device locations, CSI data mutually detected between every two devices in N devices is obtained and used to calculate an angle difference of arrival (ADoA) set which includes, for every two devices in the N devices relative to each of the other devices in the N devices, an ADoA that is a difference between angles of arrival (AoAs) of the two devices relative to the other device. Relative locations of the N devices are then calculated based on the ADoA set.
