A method for detecting swapped antenna sectors in a cellular communications network. For each of one or more cells in the cellular communications network, an azimuth is estimated for each of two or more antenna sectors in the cell using a plurality of geo-located signal measurements for each antenna sector and a machine-learning algorithm. The estimated azimuths are compared to azimuths associated with the corresponding antenna sectors in a stored representation of the cellular communications network, to detect swapped antenna sectors in the cell.

In NR, a gNB utilizes multiple antennas and beam forming techniques for downlink transmissions to UEs. Described herein are methods and apparatus by which a UE measures the quality of multiple directional beams received from a gNB.

A measurement system and method tests for spurious emissions included in a signal transmitted from a mobile terminal in a shorter time than before. The system includes: a band division unit for dividing the measurement frequency band into a plurality of divided bands; a first spurious measurement control unit which causes a measurement device to measure the spurious emissions of the signal to be measured in each divided band and the peak power of the spear in each divided band; and a first pass/fail determination unit that determines whether or not pass determination criteria is satisfied. The first pass/fail determination unit determines whether the peak power does not exceed the threshold of the pass determination criteria in each divided band. The threshold value of the pass determination criteria is lower than the threshold of the standard determination criteria defined by the 3GPP standard.

An abnormality detection apparatus according to an example embodiment includes a reception unit for receiving radio waves, a feature amount extraction unit for extracting a plurality of feature amounts in a predetermined frequency band from the received radio waves, a recording unit for recording the plurality of extracted feature amounts and the frequency band in association with each other, and a processing unit for acquiring a plurality of feature amounts in a predetermined range from the plurality of accumulated feature amounts, determining whether or not the acquired feature amounts fall within a preset normal range, and generating, based on a result of the determination, an abnormality determination mask, threshold values for the plurality of feature amounts, in order to detect an abnormality of the radio waves being set in the abnormality determination mask.

In a message modulated according to orthogonal amplitude-modulated component signals in 5G or 6G, the receiver can attempt to recover a corrupted message by evaluating the modulation quality of each component signal in each message element. The modulation quality of each component signal may be determined according to a distance between the amplitude of the component signal and the closest amplitude level of the modulation scheme, as determined by a prior demodulation reference. The modulation quality may also be determined by the SNR and amplitude stability of the component signal. Upon detecting a corrupted message, the receiver can identify the faulted message elements according to modulation quality, and if the faulted message elements are clustered in a portion of the message (as is common), the receiver can request that just the faulted portion be retransmitted, saving time and bandwidth.

The present invention identifies the cause of an anomaly, if any, in a signal input via a cable. A master device (13) comprises an acquisition unit (1321) which acquires the signal quality of a signal input via a cable, and a cause determination unit (1323) which performs cause determination for determining, from variations in the signal quality, whether the cause of noise included in the signal is due to a mechanical factor or is due to electrical noise.
