BEAM SQUINT MITIGATION METHODS FOR A REFLECTED BEAM FROM AN INTELLIGENT REFLECTING SURFACE

A node may identify a node configuration including one or more surface phase configurations associated with the node. In one configuration, the node may receive, from the base station, an indication of the node configuration. In another configuration, the node may select, at a controller associated with the node, the node configuration. The one or more surface phase configurations may be based on a wavelength corresponding to a center of a BWP associated with the one or more wireless signals or a wavelength corresponding to a center of a resource allocation associated with the one or more wireless signals. The node may forward, from a base station to a UE, or from the UE to the base station, one or more wireless signals. The forwarded one or more wireless signals may be associated with a beam squint less than a first threshold.

Optimizing packet/frame forwarding or routing in a wireless backhaul transport system
09794854 · 2017-10-17 · ·

Systems and methods are described for providing wireless backhaul transport. One element of the system is a highly integrated radio transceiver, including an integrated antenna. The radio transceiver may operate in the millimeter wave range (between 30 GHz and 300 GHz), and due to the small wavelengths, it is possible to integrate the antenna, which may typically compromise a number of antenna elements, with the radio transceiver in a single integrated circuit (IC) package, commonly referred to as a system-in-package (SiP) and/or antenna-in-package (AiP) format. The system supports multi-hop point-to-multipoint or multi-hop mesh networking topologies. Low level MAC routing tables are built and maintained to enable efficient packet and frame forwarding.

Communication network and data transmission and reception method thereof
09825848 · 2017-11-21 · ·

A communication network includes base stations. Each base station includes a BS function unit, a terminal function unit, a transfer unit, and an antenna. The antenna receives first uplink data from a subscriber terminal and downlink data transmitted from another base station and transmits downlink data to another base station or a subscriber terminal. The terminal function unit converts the downlink data received by the antenna to second uplink data. The BS function unit demodulates and outputs the first uplink data or the second uplink data as first data, and modulates input second data into downlink data and transmits the downlink data from the antenna. The transfer unit recognizes a communication destination of the first data, and, when a transfer of the first data is required, outputs the first data to the BS function unit as second data.
