This application provides a method for dynamically switching antennas. User equipment determines an antenna switching sequence based on a networking mode of the user equipment and an actual scenario, and performs antenna switching based on the determined antenna switching sequence. When the technical solutions of this application are implemented, a problem that a conflict exists in an antenna switching process is effectively resolved without adding hardware.

Wireless communication techniques for antenna-switched diversity and multi-SIM concurrent operation management are discussed. A UE may communicate via a transmission path associated with a first subscriber identification module (SIM). The transmission path may be mapped to one of a first one or more antennas in accordance with a determination as to whether the UE supports at least one of frequency-division duplex (FDD) antenna-switched diversity or time-division duplex (TDD) antenna-switched diversity when concurrently performing wireless communication associated with the first SIM and wireless communication associated with a second SIM. The UE may also communicate via at least one reception path associated with the second SIM. The at least one reception path may be mapped to a second one or more antennas in accordance with the determination as to whether the UE supports at least one of FDD antenna-switched diversity or TDD antenna-switched diversity.

A multiple radio and/or multi antenna chassis is described in some embodiments, along with methods of operation, and non-transitory computer readable media storing machine interpretable instructions to be executed on a processor to perform the methods of operation. Variants are described having regard to the use of one or more of the antennas for establishing bonded connections whereby one or more subsets of the antennas are coordinated to operate in concert to operate one or more connections for data packet transmission while reducing energy loss issues as between operating antennas. The approaches described herein can operate, for example, with a plurality of wideband antennas to provide a multi modem communications device that can be coupled to a master/primary data communications device.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a method in which a terminal transmits position measurement information in a radio communication system. The method that is performed by the terminal includes triggering a beam positioning mechanism, receiving a beam positioning-related signal from a base station, measuring the beam positioning-related signal, acquiring position measurement information based on the measured beam positioning-related signal, and transmitting the acquired position measurement information to the base station. The position measurement information is acquired based on beamforming configuration.

A method for reference signal processing is provided. In this example, the method includes receiving, by a UE, a message from a network device, where the message indicates both that a first reference signal is to be transmitted over a first resource and that a second reference signal is to be transmitted over a second resource. The method also includes receiving, by the UE, at least the first reference signal in accordance with capabilities of the UE and the message received from the network device.

Aspects described herein relate to activating, by a user equipment (UE), or causing activation of, by a base station, one or more antenna panels at the UE. An action time for activating or deactivating the one or more antenna panels may also be used to allow processing time related to activation or deactivation of the antenna panels.
