A multi-band radio frequency (RF) front-end circuit is provided. The multi-band RF front-circuit includes multiple RF circuits configured to amplify RF signals received and/or to be transmitted in multiple RF bands and/or polarizations via an antenna circuit. The antenna circuit includes multiple antenna tap points each coupled to a respective one of the RF circuits. Since each of the RF circuits has a respective impedance that can vary based on the RF bands, the antenna tap points are so positioned on the antenna circuit to each present a respective drive impedance that matches the respective impedance of a coupled RF circuit. Further, the antenna tap points are also positioned on the antenna circuit to cause desired RF isolations between the RF bands and/or the polarizations. Consequently, the multi-band RF front-end circuit can achieve optimal RF performance across a wide range of RF bands with reduced footprint and insertion losses.

The communications over the wireless bands can use a local area network protocol.

A wireless transmission device includes at least: a modulator to which the input signals of the plurality of channels are input; and a transmitter that includes a power amplifier and transmits a signal output by the modulator from the antenna. When it is necessary to increase output power of a signal associated to one input signal among the input signals of the plurality of channels and transmitted from the antenna, reserve power up to a maximum value of output power of another input signal among the input signals of the plurality of channels is checked. A control signal is supplied with the transmitter or the modulator so as to increase output power of a signal associated to the one input signal within a range of the reserve power and transmitted from the antenna.

A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium that reduce UE capability message sizes are disclosed. The apparatus receives a request for UE capability information, wherein the request indicates at least one network supported UE capability. The UE sends a targeted response indicating a capability specific to the network supported UE capability and refrains from indicating other capabilities of the UE that are not indicated by the network in the request. The request may comprise a plurality of supported CA band combinations and a network-specific set of features supported in connection with the plurality of CA band combinations. The response may comprise, for each CA band combination in the plurality of requested CA band combinations, an indication of whether the CA band combination is supported by the UE and a separate indication of support or a lack of support for each feature in the set of network-specific features when operating in the CA band combination.

A power amplifier module can be formed that includes metamaterial matching circuits. This power amplifier module can be included as part of a front-end module of a wireless device. The front-end module can replace a passive duplexer with an active duplexer that uses the power amplifier module in combination with a low noise amplifier circuit that can include a metamaterial matching circuit. The combination of PA and LNA circuits that utilize metamaterials can provide the functionality of a duplexer without including a stand-alone or passive duplexer. Thus, in certain cases, the front-end module can provide duplexer functionality without including a separate duplexer. Advantageously, in certain cases, the size of the front-end module can be reduced by eliminating the passive duplexer. Further, the loss introduced into the signal path by the passive duplexer is eliminated improving the performance of the communication system that includes the active duplexer.
