A computer implemented method of handling threshold value of an antenna performance parameter of an antenna of a telecommunication network. A default antenna performance parameter threshold value of the antenna is obtained; a second antenna performance parameter threshold value for the antenna is determined based on the default antenna performance parameter threshold value and loss information related to the antenna, or based on gradually testing antenna performance parameter threshold values; and the second antenna performance parameter threshold value is taken into use for the antenna.

Path-loss measurements are determined for a test client device moving along a path in a field test environment in which field Wi-Fi mesh network nodes are distributed. The path-loss measurements are reproduced in a field-to-lab test environment that includes a test client device disposed in an electromagnetically-isolated chamber and field test Wi-Fi mesh network nodes disposed in respective electromagnetically-isolated chambers. The test client device and the field test Wi-Fi mesh network nodes are in wired or wireless communication with each other via signal lines. A programmable attenuator is electrically coupled to each signal line. The attenuation of each programmable attenuator is varied to reproduce the path-loss measurements from the field test environment. Path-loss measurements at the location of each field Wi-Fi mesh network node are also reproduced with the programmable attenuators to reproduce the field Wi-Fi mesh network node configuration.

Aspects relate to reporting beam failure. Upon detecting a beam failure, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a beam failure recovery request to a base station. If the uplink is working, the UE may transmit the beam failure recovery request via uplink signaling (e.g., via a physical uplink control channel or a physical uplink shared channel). If the uplink is not working or if the beam failure is due to downlink quality degradation, the UE may transmit the beam failure recovery request via a random access channel (RACH) message.

Disclosed is an electronic device including an antenna module including a first antenna element and a second antenna element, and a processor operatively connected to the antenna module. The processor may be configured to transmit a first signal through the first antenna element, to receive a second signal including a signal obtained as the first signal is reflected by a target object, through the second antenna element, to calculate a distance from the antenna module to the target object based on a phase of the second signal, and to reduce a power level of the antenna module when the distance to the target object is smaller than a reference distance. In addition, various embodiments as understood from the specification are also possible.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A base station may transmit indications of target received powers for a random access procedure and a beam failure recovery procedure. A wireless device may transmit a random access preamble and a beam failure recovery preamble using different transmission powers based on the indications of target received powers.

A method for calibrating a phased array antenna is provided. The phased array antenna includes multiple transmission modules each including a phase shifter that changes a phase of a high frequency signal output from a signal source, an amplifier that amplifies an amplitude of the high frequency signal, and a transmission antenna that converts the high frequency signal into a radio wave, and a reception module including a reception antenna. The method includes a step of receiving, by the reception antenna, a reflected wave that is a radio wave transmitted from the transmission antenna of each of the multiple transmission modules and reflected outside the phased array antenna, and a step of adjusting the phase shifter and the amplifier of each of the multiple transmission modules based on an amplitude and a phase of the reflected wave received.

Aspects of this disclosure relate to a radio frequency system with a plurality of radio frequency modules. At least one of these radio frequency modules includes a coupler switching circuit that can pass an indication of radio frequency power received at a first input/output port to a second input/output port, and pass an indication of radio frequency power received at the second input/output port to the first input/output port.

The method includes: determining a Rayleigh resolution of the array antenna in an angle space, and setting a stepping grid spacing of sampling points according to the Rayleigh resolution; determining the sampling points according to the stepping grid spacing, measuring equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) at positions of the sampling points, and determining the TRP according to the EIRP. Compared with a traditional test mode using an angle stepping grid θ.sub.grid and φ.sub.grid of 15°, this reduces measurement errors; and additionally, through a normalized wave vector space transformation, the number of sampling points is further reduced, and the measurement efficiency is improved.
