In one embodiment, a method is provided that comprises receiving, by a device comprising a processer, configuration information from a network device of a wireless communication network indicating that a PTRS protocol has been configured for wireless communications between the device and the network device. The method further comprises, determining, by the device, a resource density of resource elements of the wireless communication network allocated for the phase tracking reference signal protocol, determining, by the device, CSI based on the resource density, and reporting, by the device, the CSI to the network device.

An apparatus and method configure a diversity antenna in a portable terminal. The apparatus includes a first antenna, a second antenna, a first communication unit for processing a first communication scheme signal communicated through the first antenna, a second communication unit for processing a second communication scheme signal communicated through the second antenna, and a control unit for configuring the first antenna as a diversity antenna for the second communication unit when the first communication unit is not driven.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and testing. In some aspects, a device may receive information identifying a mount orientation of a wireless communication device, wherein the mount orientation indicates an orientation of a coordinate system of the wireless communication device relative to a coordinate system of a positioner. The device may capture measurement information at each position of a set of positions of the wireless communication device, wherein the set of positions comprises positions of the wireless communication device as the wireless communication device is rotated around an axis by the positioner, and wherein the measurement information is captured based at least in part on the mount orientation. The device may provide information identifying the measurement information. Some techniques and apparatuses described herein may use the measurement information to generate a codebook for beam generation. Numerous other aspects are provided.
