Methods and systems for transmitting uplink control information and feedback are disclosed for carrier aggregation systems. A user equipment device may be configured to transmit uplink control information and other feedback for several downlink component carriers using one or more uplink component carriers. The user equipment device may be configured to transmit such data using a physical uplink control channel rather than a physical uplink shared channel. The user equipment device may be configured to determine the uplink control information and feedback data that is to be transmitted, the physical uplink control channel resources to be used to transmit the uplink control information and feedback data, and how the uplink control information and feedback data may be transmitted over the physical uplink control channel.

Methods and apparatus related to radio configuration of a wireless device, such as for use in a quasi-licensed wireless system. In one embodiment, a computerized apparatus is provided, which comprises at least one computer program configured to: (i) detect at least one connectable wireless network; (ii) obtain data relating to one or more associated network conditions; and (iii) change radio configuration of the wireless device based on the obtained data e.g., to enable the wireless device to connect to an optimal base station. In one variant, the data relating to the one or more network conditions is obtained via one or more configurable logic blocks (CLBs) of the wireless device. In one implementation, a CLB can be configured to e.g., generate network data traffic to detect the network conditions. Furthermore, the CLBs can be configured to activate or de-activate individual ones of an array of radios with sectorized antenna of the wireless device.

A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, a method of identifying, by a system comprising a processor, network communication degradation in one or more layers of a multi-layered communication protocol above a physical layer, wherein the network communication degradation is associated with communications taking place through a network, in part over a radio frequency link, between a plurality of communication devices, obtaining, by the system, data from a layer below the one or more layers of the multi-layered communication protocol identified as having the network communication degradation, determining, by the system, one or more geographic regions of the network associated with the network communication degradation from the data, and mitigating, by the system, effects of the network communication degradation in the one or more geographic regions of the network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A wireless signal receiving device is disclosed that includes an RF tuner for receiving a wireless signal over an antenna radiator, a demodulator for demodulating the received signal to output a signal of a first frequency band, and a spread spectrum modulator for spreading a frequency spectrum of the demodulated signal to output a signal of a second frequency band. In addition, various embodiments recognized through the specification are possible.

Systems and methods for detecting, localizing, and filtering signals such as radiofrequency signals using an array of antennas are disclosed. Input signals each containing a signal of interested are received, along with a reference signal sharing one or more characteristics of the signal-of-interest. Predetermined time delays and frequency shifts are applied to the input signals such that the signal-of-interest components of the signals are synchronized and to cancel any Doppler-shifting between the signal-of-interest components. A filtering process is employed to filter the shifted input signals and sum them such that a metric indicating the degree of difference between the reference signal and the summed filtered signals (such as the mean squared error, for example) is minimized.
