There is provided generating precoders for joint transmission (JT) in a downlink coordinated multi-point transmission/reception (DL COMP) wireless communications system. The system includes a plurality of transmission points (TPs) operable to communicate with a plurality of user equipments (UEs). Each UE has one of the TPs as its serving TP. The method includes transmitting channel state information (CSI) from each UE to its serving TP, wherein the transmitted CSI includes precoder matrix indicators (PMI), and using the PMI to generate precoders for transmission of data from the plurality of TPs to the plurality of UEs.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station and a UE may determine that a first transmission on a first set of beams is unsuccessful. The base station and the UE may perform a beam sweep using a plurality of inactive beams based on the determination. The UE may transmit an indication of a second set of beams to the base station. The second set of beams may be selected by the UE based on the beam sweep. Responsive to the indication, the base station and the UE may communicate a second transmission on the second set of beams based at least in part on the indication. The second transmission may be a retransmission of the first transmission.

A Cooperative Multi-point transmitting and receiving apparatuses using base station modulation method in a wireless system are provided.

A first control node may communicate with a user equipment (UE) using an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network, and a second control node may manage a configuration of the IAB network. The second control node may not have the information needed to configure the IAB network, such as quality of service (QoS) information associated with a data radio bearer (DRB) used for communications between the first control node and the UE, and thus may not be able to configure a user plane interface tunnel and/or a radio link control (RLC) channel to assist with satisfying the QoS level. Some techniques and apparatuses described herein enable the second control node to receive QoS information associated with setting up a user plane interface tunnel between the first control node and an IAB node that serves a UE for which the user plane interface tunnel is being set up.

A communication system, a terminal apparatus, a base station apparatus, and a method for sharing a codebook are provided that make it possible to improve system capacity by using precoding according to a cell environment. In a communication system in which beam directivity control is performed by precoding using a codebook that is common between a base station (10) and a terminal (20), the base station (10) notifies the terminal (20) information for codebook determination k including cell (11)-specific information on the base station, and the base station (10) and the terminal (20) generate the common codebook based on the information for codebook determination.

When wireless communication is performed, a signal can be formed into a spiral beam (H), the spiral pitch of the signal can be changed, and a plurality of spiral beams (H) with different spiral pitches can be transmitted and received. A wireless signal transmitting antenna (10) includes a signal emitting means (A) having N number of antenna elements (A1, . . . , AN) (where N is an integer satisfying N≧2) equally spaced on a circumference of circle, and a signal distribution means (B) for generating, from an input first signal (S), N number of second signals (G1, . . . , GN) having a phase difference from one another and outputting the N number of second signals (G1, . . . , GN) to the N number of antenna elements (A1, . . . , AN), respectively, so that a spiral beam (H) with the equiphase surface inclined spirally is output from the signal emitting means (A).

Methods and systems for Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) handover in a wireless communication network are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes detecting a User Equipment (UE) handover trigger based on an aggregate throughput for each Data Radio Bearers (DRBs) in each CoMP link between the UE and each Neighboring Base Stations (NBS) in a set of NBSs, the UE being in communication with a Serving Base Station (SBS) and each NBS in the set of NBSs through a set of active CoMP links; ranking each NBS based on handover potential of each NBS in the set of NBSs; and selecting a target NBS from the set of NBSs for UE handover based on the ranking and UE support capability information associated with each NBS, wherein a subset of the set of active CoMP links is migrated to the target NBS during the UE handover.
