Aspects of the present disclosure implement techniques of a new 3D waveform coding scheme that leverages the spatial properties of 5G NR systems. Specifically, in 5G systems, each UE location may be characterized by three parameters: propagation delay (t.sub.p), angle of elevation (θ), and angle of azimuth (φ). Global coding matrix may be generated by linear combination of these three attributes and a unique lattice code may be generated for each UE at different locations from the base station. Thus, considering the coding gain increases with increasing the distance between the codes, aspects of the present disclosure take advantage of geometrical properties of lattice. Particularly, within the 3D waveform coding, if lattice distance between co-beamed UEs is determined to be greater than threshold radius, a conjugate lattice code for the UEs may be applied in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure.

In one embodiment, a mobile system scans wireless channels for any upcoming access points using a dedicated monitor radio of the mobile system. The mobile system identifies a particular wireless channel in use by an upcoming access point. The mobile system notifies a second radio of the mobile system of the particular wireless channel. The mobile system performs a handoff between a current access point and the upcoming access point in part by switching the second radio of the mobile system to the particular wireless channel of the upcoming access point.

The invention provides a method of reducing interference in a mobile communication system caused by a first user equipment, UE, device operating in a cell at a significantly higher altitude than other UE devices in the cell so as to cause interference, the method comprising detecting that the first UE device is operating at an altitude considered by the mobile communication system to be an extraordinary altitude; and reducing interference caused by the first UE device operating at the extraordinary altitude by controlling the operation of the first UE device.

Methods and apparatus for supporting band steering and/or channel steering in wireless communications systems, e.g. WiFi communications systems, are described. An access point aggregates information, e.g., from messages being communicated between the access point and client devices being serviced by the access point, and generates reports. The generated reports are communicated to a control device, e.g. a radio resource management (RRM) device. In some embodiments, generated reports include one or more of: i) message header information, e.g. resource unit (RU) allocation and/or use information and/or BSS color information, ii) collision reports, iii) received signal strength indicator (RSSI) reports, signal to noise ratio (SNR) reports, iv) interference reports; v) power information; vi) access point measurement information; and vii) access point control information. The control device uses the received reports from APs, in making bandsteering decisions with regard to individual client devices, and channel change decisions with regard to access points.

A device may include a processor configured to determine that a user equipment (UE) device, attached to a base station, is within a coverage area of a small cell operating on a first channel, and that the UE device is not a member of the small cell and is experiencing interference on the first channel. The processor may be further configured to send an instruction to the UE device to provide a measurement report for base stations operating on another band or channel different from the first channel; receive a measurement report from the UE device identifying one or more neighboring base stations operating on the other band or channel; and perform a handover of the UE device to a neighboring base station, wherein the UE device is to communicate with the neighboring base station using the other band or channel.
