A base station may identify one or more beams toward a node for communication with at least one UE. The one or more beams may correspond to a plurality of beams from the node. The base station may transmit, to the node, an indication to adjust a surface phase of the node corresponding to the one or more beams or one of the plurality of beams from the node. The base station may select at least one beam of the plurality of beams from the node for communication with the at least one UE. The base station may communicate with the at least one UE via the node and the at least one beam. The at least one beam of the plurality of beams from the node may be based on a defocusing operation associated with a virtual focal point.

A method of operating a communication device includes: sweeping a plurality of first reception beams; measuring reference signals, received from another communication device, based on the plurality of first reception beams; estimating a downlink channel gain based on the measured reference signals and reception array response information corresponding to reception antenna characteristics of the communication device; generating a downlink channel related matrix based on the downlink channel gain and the reception array response information; determining a second reception beam based on the downlink channel related matrix; determining a transmission beam based on at least one of the downlink channel gain, the downlink channel related matrix, and the second reception beam; and performing communication with the other communication device using the second reception beam and the transmission beam.

An indicator in a master AP from among a plurality of APs obtains communication quality of communication with an AP which is a communication partner. In the case where the obtained communication quality is less than a threshold, the indicator causes the plurality of APs including the master AP to perform cooperative operation to transmit data. In the case where the obtained communication quality is not less than the threshold, the indicator causes the plurality of APs including the master AP to stop the cooperative operation.

Method and apparatus are provided for estimating first downlink (DL) channel information of first DL channels in accordance with reference signals received on first uplink (UL) channels, the first UL channels being a subset of available UL channels, and the first DL channels corresponding to the first UL channels. Channel feedback is received for a set of DL channels, and second DL channel information is estimated in accordance with the estimated first DL channel information and the received channel feedback.

The disclosure relates to an electronic device and method for a wireless communication system, and a storage medium. Various embodiments regarding beam management are described. In one embodiment, an electronic device for a terminal device side in a wireless communication system can comprise a processing circuit system. The processing circuit system can be configured to obtain random access configuration information, and send a random access preamble based on the random access configuration information, so as to indicate one or more transmission beams of a base station side, in a downlink, paired with one or more receiving beams at the terminal device side.

Aspects are provided which enhance receiver performance of PDCCH by allowing a base station to associate a configured PDSCH CSI-RS with a PDCCH for channel estimation and reception by a UE. A UE receives a reference signal associated with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from a base station, and uses the reference signal to receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and/or measure the PDCCH and feedback a corresponding channel measurement for the PDCCH. A base station configures a reference signal associated with a PDSCH for transmission of a PDCCH and/or reception of a corresponding channel measurement for the PDCCH as feedback from the UE, and transmits the reference signal to the UE.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information that identifies a first precoder indicator selected from a set of precoder indicators and a second precoder indicator selected from a subset of the set of precoder indicators. The UE may communicate using multiple antenna panels based at least in part on the first precoder indicator and the second precoder indicator. Numerous other aspects are provided.

There is provided mechanisms for performance degradation handling between a first radio access network node that operates in a first frequency band and provides network access for subscribers of a first mobile network operator and a second radio access network node that operates in a second frequency band and provides network access for subscribers of a second mobile network operator. A method is performed by the first radio access network node. The method comprises identifying performance degradation impacting the network access for the subscribers of the first mobile network operator. The performance degradation is identified as originating from a particular direction relative the first radio access network node and as caused by the second radio access network node. The method comprises providing, towards the second radio access network node, an indication of the performance degradation. The indication specifies the particular direction and identifies the second radio access network node as causing the performance degradation.

This disclosure provides a method of operating a network node in a wireless telecommunications network, wherein the wireless telecommunications network includes a first access point having a transmitter configured to transmit in a first coverage area, including receiving, from a sensor, data indicating a location of an object within the first coverage area of the first access point's transmitter; determining, from a set of access rights including excluded, differentiated restrictions and no restrictions, that the object has the differentiated restrictions access right; responsive to the determination that the object has the differentiated restrictions access right, classifying, from a set of classes including a first class and a second class, the object in the first class, wherein the first class is associated with a first restriction configuration having a first electro and/or magnetic field exposure threshold and the second class is associated with a second restriction configuration having a second electro and/or magnetic field exposure threshold; responsive to the determination that the object is classified in the first class, determining that the object shall use the first electro and/or magnetic field exposure threshold; determining that a value of electro and/or magnetic field exposure for the object exceeds the first electro and/or magnetic field exposure threshold; and causing an adjustment of the first access point so as to reduce the value of electro and/or magnetic field exposure for the object.

Methods, systems, and devices for satellite operations are described. A satellite communications system may include a transmitter that applies multiple spreading codes to a data signal to obtain multiple spread data signals. The transmitter may transmit the multiple spread data signals from multiple antenna elements in a composite signal. The satellite communications system may also include a receiver that receives the composite signal and applies multiple despreading codes to the composite signal to obtain multiple despread data signals. The receiver may combine the multiple despread data signals to obtain a combined data signal that corresponds to the data signal processed by the transmitter. To combine the multiple despread data signals, the receiver may estimate coefficients for each of the despread data signals.
