Proactive power and rate control algorithm for dynamic platforms in a mesh network
Compensating for antenna gain losses due to attitude changes of a mobile local node in a network. A method includes at the local node, identifying an attitude change of the local node. As a result of identifying the attitude change of the local node, the method includes increasing a target SNR of forward data directed to one or more remote nodes by a boost value. As a result of identifying the attitude change of the local node, the method includes causing the remote node to adjust at least one of power or rate to compensate for the attitude change for subsequent reverse data sent from the remote node to the local node.
Geographical localization of 5G/6G network users and base stations
Disclosed are systems and methods for entities in a 5G or 6G wireless network to indicate their geographical location to other entities. A base station can inform the user devices of its antenna location so that the users can direct beams toward the antenna. Mobile users can update their location information to the base station so that the base station can direct beams toward the mobile users in real-time. For example, the base station can embed the latitude and longitude of the base station antenna in a system information message, such as an unallocated portion of the SSB (synchronization signal block) which is periodically broadcast, and the users can transmit location-update messages to the base station using disclosed formats. By directing transmission beams and reception beams toward each other, base stations and users can obtain substantially improved reception with reduced background generation and reduced energy consumption.
Radio unit and a method therein for controlling power levels of spatially separated transceivers in a wireless communications network
Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a radio unit (101) for controlling power levels of spatially separated transceivers (110-119) connected to the radio unit (101) via corresponding antenna ports (a-j). Each transceiver (110-119) is capable of performing measurements on uplink transmissions from wireless devices in a wireless communication network (100). The radio unit (101) receives, from each transceiver (110-119), measurements on uplink transmissions from wireless devices. Then, the radio unit (101) determines, for each transceiver (110-119), a load based on how many wireless devices that have the transceiver as the transceiver with the most relevant measurement for its uplink transmissions. The radio unit (101) also controls a power level of at least one first transceiver (110) based on at least one of the determined loads for the transceivers (110-119). Embodiments of the radio unit (101) are also described.

Methods, apparatus, and device-readable mediums are disclosed relating to wireless access in a network requiring a carrier-sense mechanism. One aspect provides a method performed by a transmitting device for transmitting to a receiving device in a wireless communications network. The transmitting device comprises a plurality of antenna elements. The method comprises: performing a directional carrier-sense assessment for one or more sub-bands configured for transmissions between the transmitting device and the receiving device, the directional carrier-sense assessment utilizing beamforming to detect a respective level of wireless activity on each of the sub-bands in a particular direction for transmissions to the receiving device; selecting a respective transmit power for each sub-band based on the determined level of wireless activity; and transmitting to the receiving device in the particular direction, using the respective selected transmit power for each sub-band.
Communication method and apparatus
A terminal communicates with base stations by receiving a first beacon frame sent by a first base station, the first beacon frame including first location information representing a location of the first base station. In response to one of a determination that a distance between the first location information and second location information is greater than a first predetermined threshold or a determination that a difference between first received signal strength information and second received signal strength information is greater than a second predetermined threshold, the terminal sends first information to a network server, the first information causing the network server to select a base station that transmits downlink data to the terminal. The second location information represents a location of a second base station corresponding to a second beacon frame received before the first beacon frame is received.

Enhanced radio wave exposure mitigation using a combination of proximity and inertial sensor data
Some disclosed devices include an inertial sensor system, a proximity sensor system, an antenna system configured to transmit and receive radio signals and a control system. The control system may be configured for receiving inertial sensor data from the inertial sensor system and controlling the proximity sensor system and/or the antenna system based, at least in part, on the inertial sensor data. In some examples, the control system may be configured for controlling the proximity sensor system and/or the antenna system based, at least in part, on whether the inertial sensor data indicates that the device is being held, is being carried or is on a person's body (e.g., is in the person's pocket).
GENERATING A PROPAGATION MODEL BASED ON SAMPLING BY USER EQUIPMENT IN IDLE MODE
The technologies described herein are generally directed to generating a propagation model based on sampling by user equipment in idle mode in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. An example method can include, based on a first location in a geographic area of a signal measurement measured by a user equipment in an idle mode, and a transmission location of the signal, estimating an estimated first path loss value. The method can further include, based on the estimated first path loss value and a second path loss value of a second carrier signal received from the carrier signal source, determining an antenna pattern of the carrier signal source. Further, the method can include based on the antenna pattern, generating a propagation model for the carrier signal source.
