CONFIGURABLE ELECTRONIC WARFARE RADIO FREQUENCY RECEIVER
A radio frequency (RF) receiver includes a transceiver, a programmable logic device (PLD), and a digitally tunable high-pass and low-pass filter bank.

Exchanging quasi colocation information between a user equipment and a base station that indicates an association between a spatial parameter and a current transmission configuration
In an embodiment, a UE determines QCL information that indicates an association between a spatial parameter and a current transmission configuration, and conveys the determined QCL information to a BS. In another embodiment, a BS transmits a DCI that triggers transmission of a reference signal that includes QCL information that indicates an association between a spatial parameter and a current transmission configuration, whereby any DCI triggering any reference signal that includes any QCL information is configured to trigger a UE to send an express acknowledgment or an implied acknowledgment to that DCI.
Methods and systems for interference management
Methods and systems for interference management are described. Methods and systems can be used for minimizing interference among communication and/or electronic devices. Interference data can be gathered/received from interference sources such as weather and natural patterns, various electronic devices, and one or more network protocols. The interference data can be used to generate interference patterns of each interference source in an interference map. The interference map can be used to determine how a particular interference pattern can affect a system. The interference map can also be used to evaluate a new source of interference (e.g., cordless phones, weather conditions) to determine how a system can be affected. The interference data can also be associated with an interference signature (e.g., an interference pattern, a fingerprint) for an interference source in a database. The database can be used based on the interference signature to identify known and/or unknown interference sources.
