DIFFERENTIAL QUANTIZATION OF PRECODER MATRIX

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE measures one or more reference signals to determine a channel state on a channel including M delay taps. The UE determines a first precoder matrix for selecting a set of beams from L beams transmitted from the base station on the channel. The UE determines a second precoder matrix for combining the set of beams. The second precoder matrix includes at least two groups of coefficients each including coefficients being normalized based on a respective reference coefficient. Each coefficient corresponds to a respective one beam of the L beams at a particular polarization on a respective one delay tap of the M delay taps. The UE quantizes coefficients of the second precoder. The UE transmits an indication of the second precoder matrix having quantized coefficients.

Beam management for a radio transceiver device

There is provided mechanisms for a radio transceiver device to participate in beam management. A method is performed by the radio transceiver device. The method comprises receiving a reference signal from another radio transceiver device as part of participating in the beam management. The reference signal occupies time/frequency resources that extend over a frequency interval. The reference signal is simultaneously received in a set of beams where each beam has a unique frequency dependent phase shift such that all beams in the set of beams point in mutually different directions and each beam covers its own part of the frequency interval.

SPATIAL INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION FOR SIMULTANEOUS WIRELESS AND INFORMATION POWER TRANSFER

A discrete-time delay (TD) technique in a baseband receiver array is disclosed for canceling wide modulated bandwidth spatial interference and reducing the Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC) dynamic range requirements. In particular, the discrete-time delay (TD) technique first aligns the interference using non-uniform sampled phases followed by uniform cancellation using a cancellation matrix, such as, for example, a Truncated Hadamard Transform implemented with antipodal binary coefficients.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR APPLYING 4RX CAPABLE UE TESTS TO AN 8RX CAPABLE UE

Systems and methods provide solutions for testing an 8Rx capable UE using test cases for 4Rx capable UEs. An example method establishes a connection from a first Tx source and a second Tx source to each of 8Rx antenna ports. The connection duplicates a fading channel from both the first Tx source and the second Tx source to each of the eight Rx antenna ports, and adds independent noise for each of the 8Rx antenna ports. One test scenario uses 4Rx supported RF bands by connecting four of the Rx ports with data from a system simulator, and the other four Rx ports are connected with zero input. Same requirements specified with 4Rx capable UEs are applied. Another test scenario uses 8Rx supported RF bands and applies lower dB SNR requirements than those specified for 4Rx tests.
