Various example embodiments are described in which a network node transmits to a user device preconfiguration information for a plurality of on-demand positioning signal (ODPS) preconfigurations. An ODPS preconfiguration may be selected and communicated. The transmitted ODPS preconfiguration may be a request for transmission, or a notice of transmission, of the selected ODPS. An ODPS, which is associated with or based on the selected ODPS preconfiguration, may be transmitted. The ODPS may include any positioning signal (e.g., any signal that may be used for positioning) that may be transmitted upon request or as needed, and, e.g., may include downlink on-demand positioning reference signals (ODPRS), uplink on-demand sounding reference signals (ODSRS), or other positioning or reference signal.

Systems and method for using control information to control the relay of signaling between a base station and a user equipment (UE) using a smart repeater (SMR) and/or reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a first phase is used by the SMR with a first SS burst from a base station to identify a trained Rx beam to use with the base station, and a second phase receives a second SS burst from the base station and forwards it to a UE using a beam sweep such that the UE is enabled to provide feedback of one SSB of the second SS burst. In other embodiments, an SMR or an RIS is controlled to enable the use of an SS burst to perform a full check of all beam-wise routes between the base station and the UE, enabling feedback of a corresponding SSB selection by the UE.

The present disclosure describes a computer-implemented method that includes: in response to receiving information that a base station from the network of base stations at the geo-exploration site has relocated, obtaining a geographic positioning information of the relocated base station; accessing a database encoding geographic positioning information of base stations from the network of base stations at the geo-exploration site, along with respective frequency assignment information for each base station; analyzing an interference pattern between the base station that has relocated and other base stations from the network that are within a threshold distance of the relocated base station, wherein the relocated base station is being considered for a radio frequency assignment based on the geographic positioning information; and determining the radio frequency assignment for the relocated base station based on the interference pattern.

A method to perform. beam management (BM) and/or synchronization (Sync) using primary synchronization signal (PSS) when pilot contamination is low to improve system performance is proposed. A UE first determines pilot contamination. level on PSS of a synchronization signal block (SSB), depending on different network deployment. scenarios. The UE then adaptively perform BM or Sync, by dynamically adjusting to the pilot contamination level on PSS. If the pilot contamination level is high, then the UE follows a 3-symbol mode, e.g., uses only PBCH0, SSS, and PBCH2 symbols for performing BM or Sync. Otherwise, if the pilot contamination level is low, then the UE follows a 4-symbol mode, e.g., uses PSS as an extra symbol for BM or Sync to improve system performance.

Systems, devices, and methods for access point discovery in a wireless network are provided. An access point device embeds into a preamble of a transmission packet discovery information including modifications determined by passing in-phase quadrature (IQ) symbols through a finite impulse response (FIR) filter to introduce a phase shift in selected ones of the IQ symbols. The phase shifts are encoded into bits in selected ones of a plurality of subcarriers, bounded by a maximum phase shift and a maximum number of the subcarriers to limit the packet error rate. A convolutional neural network can learn channel state and other information to determine the maximum phase shift and number of subcarriers. A client device can select from among a plurality of modified transmission packets to send a discovery request.

The present disclosure relates to a method for paging coverage extension UEs in a cell controlled by a radio base station. At least one CE-specific paging possibility is defined for paging CE-UEs. The CE-UEs in the cell regularly monitor the at least one CE-specific paging possibility. When the radio base station determines to page all the user equipments in the cell, it pages the CE user equipments in the cell at the CE-specific paging possibility, using a coverage extension technique. The disclosure also relates to a method for paging a CE-UE, which performs radio measurements by a CE-capable user equipment to determine whether coverage extension is necessary. The radio base station is informed about whether the CE-capable user equipment needs coverage extension and then pages the CE-UEs applying or not applying a CE technique depending on whether coverage extension is necessary.

A method and system for controlling wireless service of a user equipment device (UE) by an access node. The access node serves the UE with uplink carrier-aggregation over a connection that encompasses encompassing multiple uplink channels including a primary uplink channel (uplink PCell) and a secondary uplink channel (uplink SCell). Further, the access node dynamically sets a channel-quality threshold (e.g., an RSRP threshold) applicable to control when to deconfigure the uplink SCell from service of the UE, with the dynamically setting of the channel-quality threshold including iteratively adjusting the channel-quality threshold based on uplink spectral efficiency of the access node. And the access node applies the dynamically set channel-quality threshold to control when to deconfigure the uplink SCell from service of the UE.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that support coordinated beamforming in millimeter wave (mmW) systems. A user equipment (UE) may indicate a number of supported antennas for signal reception. A plurality of transmission-reception points (TRxPs) may coordinate a beam training with the supported antennas, in determining a beam estimation for coordinated reception at the UE. The coordinated beam training may be carried over combined beams of the associated TRxPs, and may be based on co-phasing factors within a single antenna panel for each of the TRxPs. Based on the coordinated beam training, the UE may determine a matched filtering beam estimate for reception and receive coordinated beamformed transmissions from the plurality of TRxPs as part of coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmissions.
