Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, and computer readable medium for communication. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a network device or a repeater determines whether applying the repeater for building a communication between the network device and a terminal device based on measured information of the repeater. The measured information comprises one or more of: position information of the repeater, angle information of the repeater and self-interference information of the repeater. In this way, it avoids low efficiency scheduling of repeater.

The technologies described herein are generally directed to, based on a determination that a user equipment is operating from an airborne aircraft, limiting the use signals with potentially interfering bands in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include receiving, via a communications network, altitude information corresponding to an altitude of a user equipment. Further, the method can include, based on the altitude, generating a signal limiting instruction applicable to limit a signal. The method can further include, communicating the signal limiting instruction to alter the signal associated with the user equipment with respect to a potentially interfering band.

The technology disclosed herein relates to enhanced millimeter (mm) wave coverage based on mm wave interactions with physical objects. For example, the technology disclosed herein can receive and store physical object data for physical objects located within a coverage area provided by antenna elements, which are each within a threshold distance of each other. Further, a location of a user device within the coverage area can be identified. An algorithm (e.g., an adaptive learning algorithm) can be used to determine a mm wave transmission path based on the location of the user device and the physical object data. For example, the algorithm can account for reflections and refractions of the mm wave signal with the physical objects. One or more of the plurality of antenna elements can transmit a mm wave signal for the user device to receive based on the determined mm wave transmission path.

A method for service gap mitigation via tilt recommendation may include: identifying a candidate cell; generating boundaries of a service gap; determining a best server plot of the candidate cell; determining geo-located samples of the candidate cell; categorizing the candidate cell based on the boundaries of the service gap and at least one of the best server plot or the geo-located samples; and calculating an electronic tilt based on the categorization.

The technology disclosed herein relates to enhancing wireless coverage based on interactions between transmitted signals and physical objects within an environment. For example, the technology can receive and store physical object data for physical objects located within a coverage area provided by a plurality of antenna elements. A location of a user device within the coverage area can be identified. An algorithm (e.g., an adaptive learning algorithm) can be used to determine a transmission path based on the location of the user device and the physical object data. The algorithm can account for reflections and refractions of the signal with the physical objects. One or more of the plurality of antenna elements can transmit a signal for the user device to receive based on the determined transmission path.

The technology disclosed herein relates to enhancing millimeter (mm) wave coverage within a wireless telecommunications network. It is commonly known that mm waves have difficulty propagating through materials. Urban areas pose significant hurdles for mm waves since a line of sight (LOS) to a user device is often times blocked by a physical object (e.g., building, tree, car, etc.). However, mm waves are desirable because of the wide bandwidths available for carrying communications at that frequency range. Embodiments herein provide methods, systems, and computer-storage media for adjusting a transmission power of a mm wave such that it can propagate through a physical object when a permittivity of an external material of the physical object is within a specified range where power adjustment would successfully propagate the mm wave through the physical object.
