An aggregation unit includes a transceiver configured to transmit unique signals to a plurality of transmission reception points (TRxPs) for transmission by the plurality of TRxPs and receive uplink signals received by the plurality of TRxPs from a user equipment. The aggregation unit also includes a processor configured to generate a sum of the uplink signals from a subset of the plurality of TRxPs. The subset is determined based on measurements of the unique signals performed by the UE. In some cases, the subset is determined by a baseband unit that receives a measurement report including the measurements performed by the UE. The transceiver is configured to transmit the sum of the uplink signals to the baseband unit over a fronthaul link.

The method includes: obtaining contacted situations of areas where a plurality of antennas are located on a terminal; determining whether a non-contacted area is present in the areas according to the contacted situations; in response to presence of the non-contacted area in the areas, selecting an antenna in the non-contacted area in a current scene for use; in response to absence of the non-contacted area in the areas, obtaining influenced degrees of the plurality of antennas and determining whether the influenced degrees are the same; in response to the influenced degrees being the same, selecting an antenna from the plurality of antennas in the current scene for use; in response to the influenced degrees being different, selecting an antenna having the least influenced degree from the plurality of antennas in the current scene for use.

A data receiving method, a terminal device, and a system are provided. The terminal device can be connected to an external antenna device, and when the terminal device is connected to the external antenna device, first antennas of the terminal device and second antennas of the external antenna device form a MIMO antenna array.

This disclosure relates to techniques for multi-RAT and DSDA capable wireless devices to handle frame blanking in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may establish wireless links according to a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology. The wireless device may determine to perform transmit and receive blanking for one or more antennas of the wireless device for the first radio access technology to perform sounding reference signal transmissions for the second radio access technology based at least in part on a band combination for the wireless links. The wireless device may determine a modification to channel state feedback reporting for the first radio access technology based at least in part on the transmit and receive blanking. The wireless device may perform channel state feedback reporting using the determined modification.

The present disclosure relates to an antenna panel application method, an apparatus and a non-temporary computer-readable storage medium. The antenna panel application method comprises: activating a first antenna panel set and a second antenna panel set; the first antenna panel set including one or more first antenna panels, said first antenna panels being used for uplink transmission; the second antenna panel set including one or more second antenna panels, said second antenna panels being used for downlink reception.

A user equipment (UE) can connect to an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) new radio (NR) dual-connectivity (EN-DC) network using both a Long Term Evolution (LTE) anchor link and a 5G NR non-anchor link. The UE shares RF chain components (e.g., antennas) between the LTE and NR links. The UE uses various techniques for controlling or modifying NR sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions and/or LTE operations to avoid interruption on LTE operations due to NR SRS transmissions.

Techniques are described for expanding and/or improving the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 television protocol in robustly delivering the next generation broadcast television services. A receiver uses relative location and direction of motion of the receiver with respect to each broadcaster to determine which tuner/demodulator(s) to use to present a service and which to use to scan for services.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for antenna selection at a user equipment (UE). The UE may have a set of available antennas for uplink and downlink communications, and may select a first subset of antennas for uplink communications and a second subset of antennas for downlink communications. The first subset of antennas may be based on one or more uplink metrics, and the second subset of antennas may be based on the first subset of antennas and one or more downlink channel metrics, traffic amounts, or any combinations thereof.

A radio frequency front end system can include a first module configured to provide multi-input multi-output (MIMO) receive operations for a first plurality of mid bands and a first plurality of high bands. The first module can be further configured to provide transmit operations for the plurality of mid bands. The first module can include a first node. The radio frequency front end system can include a second module configured to provide transmit and receive operations for a second plurality of mid bands and a second plurality of high bands. The second module can be a power amplifier integrated duplexer (PAiD) module. The second module can include a second node. The first module and the second module can be coupled by a signal path at the first node and the second node, respectively.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, calculating a Fresnel zone about a line of sight (LoS) between a pair of antennas positioned on antenna mounts. The Fresnel zone is projected onto a geospatial grid of 3D cells, each having a height above a horizontal plane. Cells that intersect the Fresnel zone projection are selected to obtain a subset cells with constraint heights determined according to heights of the subset cells that are adjusted according to the Fresnel zone. The LoS is revised according to an algorithm to obtain a set of updated LoS. Those updated LoS that do not intersect the set of adjusted constraint heights are identified as solutions that include an optimal solution, should one exist. Other embodiments are disclosed.
