A communication device includes a donor receiver that receives a first beam of input radio frequency (RF) signals from a base station or a network node. The communication device further includes a service transmitter that transmits a second beam of RF signals in a first radiation pattern to a user equipment (UE). The communication device further includes control circuitry that detects an amount and a direction of echo signals at the donor receiver. The control circuitry applies polarization to the second beam of RF signals transmitted to the UE and calibrates the polarization to minimize the echo signals at the donor receiver. A second radiation pattern is generated for the second beam of RF signals and communicated to the UE based on the calibrated polarization. The communication of the second beam of RF signals in the generated second radiation pattern further reduces the echo signals at the donor receiver.

A system configured to improve noise cancellation by reducing attenuation of local speech in proximity to a device. When the local speech is present in both a target signal and a reference signal, performing noise cancellation to remove the reference signal inadvertently attenuates the local speech. To prevent this, the system may perform first noise cancellation to identify frequency bands associated with the local speech and may generate a modified reference signal based on the frequency bands. For example, the system may generate the modified reference signal by applying attenuation to first frequencies associated with the local speech and/or gain to second frequencies that are not associated with the local speech. The system may generate final output audio data by performing noise cancellation using the modified reference signal.

Over-the-air (OTA) phase synchronization for reciprocity-based coordinated multipoint (CoMP) joint transmission is disclosed. Phase synchronization reference signals (PSRS) are transmitted within a CoMP operation that can be used to determine the phase drifts of the transmit and receive chains of the base stations. These phase drifts can then be used to obtain a relative phase drift between the uplink and downlink channels. When estimating the uplink channel from the sounding reference signals (SRS), the relative phase drift may be applied to estimate the downlink channel as well. The OTA phase synchronization may be performed with a user equipment (UE)-assisted or inter-base station procedures.
