Devices and methods for robust measurement and data receiving

Devices and methods of simultaneous data reception and measurement are generally described. A UE transmits to an eNB antenna capacity and receives a Beamformed Reference Signal (BRS) configuration in response. Beamformed signals from the eNB include a BRS subframe in accordance with the BRS configuration. The BRS subframe has a BRS whose structure depends on the UE antenna capacity. If the UE has a single antenna panels, neither an EPDCCH nor a PDSCH for the UE is in the BRS frame. If the UE has a single antenna panels and multiple ports or multiple antenna panels, the BRS may contain an EPDCCH or PDSCH for the UE as different ports or antenna panels may be assigned different functionality. The UE measures BRS Received Power (BRS-RP) of the BRS, transmits a BRS report based on the BRS-RP and selects an optimal beam based on BRS-RPs from BRSs of the beams.

Systems and methods for calibrating multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) test systems and for using the calibrated MIMO test systems to test mobile devices

MIMO test systems and methods are provided that eliminate the need for a wired connection between the test system and the antenna ports of the DUT, thereby eliminating the need to open up the housing of the DUT and risk damaging or destroying it. The MIMO test systems and methods also eliminate the need for an anechoic chamber, thereby eliminating the cost and space requirements associated therewith. A suitable non-anechoic, electromagnetically-shielded chamber can be used in the test system that is much less expensive and that has a much smaller spatial footprint than a typical anechoic chamber used in MIMO test systems.
